Recently, Bill Moyers interviewed 11 well-known writers on their views of how people of different faiths can coexist in peace. Those conversations begin on many PBS stations next Friday <em>night<\/em>, June 23, with the first of a series called Bill Moyers on Faith and Reason. Bill joins us from New York.
