Paul Moses in Egypt!

Paul Moses, CWL writer, journalist, newspaper man, and all around nice guy, wrote The Sultan and the Saint (Francis). A good read: it is now a movie currently showing in Egypt!. Here's the story on Al Monitor: "Film about interfaith dialogue opens in Egypt to praise." 

Bravo Paul!

P.S. For those with time (and 2 hours of patience), a panel discussion with Paul Moses about the book and the event of Francis meeting Sultan Malik Al-Kamil

This is a video tape of a forum sponsored by the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture:  When the Saint Met the Sultan: A Medieval Summit with 21st Century Lessons

  1. How wonderful. Sounds like it captures one of those graceful moments of peace, like the movie "Joyeaux Noel". Can't wait for the movie. I will have to download the book. I hope Paul Moses hears a little ka-ching.

    2. December 26??!?! Is there really a day there? Gee, thanks, PBS. I am looking forward to the Fordham video Sunday or early next week. On my computer. Without reflections of Christmas lights.
