The Kaufman Interfaith Institute has several affiliates. The Interfaith Dialogue Association, which produces Common Threads, is certainly one. Another newer addition to our family of multi-faith engagement is Interfaith Photovoice, an organized effort that encourages people of different faith backgrounds to use their phones and cameras to document their personal spiritual journey and share the intimacy of that experience with a diverse cohort of other photographer "pilgrims." In today's episode Fred Stella speaks with the founder of Interfaith Photovoice Roman Williams. Together they will discuss Roman's new book "Sacred Snaps."
