The focus of
our professional life has been interpretation: helping people understand
one another, their history, different cultures and religions, and
themselves. We believe that every person, culture, and society has
something valuable to offer to others, and that we discover this through
critical and appreciative study, open dialogue, and a willingness to learn.
