Beyond Common Ground: Embodying Covenantal Pluralism
Episode 35
Friday, 27 March, 2026

What can a "hot-headed New Yorker" learn from 10 years in Oman? Justin Meyers of the Al Amana Centre joins Religion Unmuted to discuss the power of shway shway—slowing down—and the strategies he's learned for moving from tolerance to hospitality. He explains how Oman's unique religious landscape—characterized by the Ibadi tradition and a culture of deep hospitality—provides a framework for peaceful coexistence and covenantal pluralism.
