Kristin Sancken and Kim Wilkins from the Charlottesville IMPACT group (Interfaith Movement Promoting Actions by Congregations Together) discuss the alliance of people from different faiths in the promotion of justice and fairness. Rick digs to find how the groups with different beliefs work together on specific issues.
Rick talks with author Corban Addison about human trafficking. Corban holds degrees in law and engineering from the University of Virginia and California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He began to experiment with writing at the age of fifteen, about the same time he developed an interest in international travel.
In the summer of 2008, Addison’s wife gave him an idea that he found irresistible–a novel on the global trade in human beings. A Walk Across the Sun was born. It is a novel that brings together three of Addison’s great passions–storytelling, human rights, and the world and its cultures–in a narrative that enlightens while it entertains. Addison is a supporter of international justice causes, including the abolition of modern slavery, and he is committed to broadening this support through the publication.
