Join TMC for a virtual seminar with Fr. Levi UC Nkwocha, a priest-theologian, pan‑Africanist, and scholar originally from Nigeria. His work focuses on interfaith dialogue, African/Black Theology, Catholicism, and global Christianity. In this interview with Dr. Farr Curlin, he will discuss his book At the Feet of Abraham, which proposes a practical model of hospitality to support peaceful relationships between Muslims and Christians. Drawing on philosophical, ethical, and cultural insights—including Levinasian ethics and African Ubuntu traditions—his approach offers a grounded way to engage religious difference with respect and responsibility. This seminar is an opportunity to learn about a thoughtful framework for interfaith coexistence and the scholarship behind it.
