Common Table Podcast UMC (CPT) is honored to welcome Ralph Singh, Founder, Wisdom Thinkers Network. He is an educator, speaker, author, and practitioner in the Sikh religious tradition. Ralph is devoted to finding and naming our shared values in a diverse culture and a pluralistic religious landscape. Many voices, many ideas, many religions, and many ways of loving one another through a faith language.
Listen in as Ralph and the Rev. Dr. Robin Blair, host of CTP, discuss these shared values, and how the Sikh's were attacked just after 9/11, outside of Syracuse, NY. Listen in and hear how mercy was the first thing that came from the hearts of the congregation as the temple burned, and how Ralph spoke forgiveness at the sentencing trial of the arsonists.
As a matter of justice, the Social Holiness Team of UNY AC UMC offers that as Christians our call from Christ is: "to love one another as I have loved you", Jn 13:34. No exceptions! So to set aside people who wear turbans and practice their beloved faith differently that do Christians, is not a loving thing for a Christian to do. Listen to CTP for ideas on how to see shared values that build bridges, not differences that build walls between us.

The Common Table Podcast UMC is supported by the Creation Justice Team (part of the UNY AC UMC General Board of Global Ministry) and Peace with Justice for Palestine/Israel (also UNY AC UMC). Our focus is on Creation Justice, Creation Care, and the urgent need for peace with justice—recognizing how climate change and war disrupts the health of the Earth and all living things. We seek to prayerfully respect and love the creation we were born into, caring for all that lives.
We invite you to join us for conversations rooted in justice and compassion. Every episode is produced by volunteers, and we publish as often as we are able.
Our mission is to lift awareness, foster education, and encourage faithful action within the human community—in the name of Christ.
Hosted by Rev. Dr. Robin Blair.
