I agree. He seems like a very interesting guy. I googled him and found this podcast of a Sunstone presentation he gave years ago. I listened to it on my way home and really enjoyed it. I think alot of folks here would appreciate his perspective.

I'm glad you liked it Y and Jeff


This is my favorite tidbit from the article:

One PLO leader told him "he hoped that a final peace agreement between the Palestinians and Israelis could be signed in the BYU Jerusalem center because BYU and the LDS church had been such strong forces for peace."



I heard him speak and he comes accross as very sincere. He almost got emotional talking about the need for the peace process to move forward.

I'll listen to the podcast when I get the chance.
