My friend and senior broadcast analyst Gregg Hersholt said I came across eloquently. Yikes. I’m really grateful to Gregg and my media friend, John Yeager, who has coached me in this media avenue. Never thought I’d be on the radio or television.

A Local Church Pastor
“Through personal storytelling, biblical preaching, and literally getting us out of the church and into a mosque, Andy walked alongside our church with the question, “Compelled by God’s love, what does it mean to love our Muslim neighbor?” Wise, gentle, and prophetic, Andy doesn’t just talk about peacemaking–he lives it.”Website
Lay Church Leader
“Andy spent a weekend at our church recently speaking about his bridge building relationships with Muslims. This approach resonates in contrast with so much media attention to extremists. It was a new message for a lot of our members, but they seemed willing to listen and be open because of Andy’s gentle and non-threatening presence. Now we can discuss this topic more freely and see our Muslim neighbors in a new light, building friendships as God leads.”
Professor of Reconciliation Studies
“We recognize you as an agent of change for reconciliation and an influential community leader. We’d like to invite you to influence the next generation of community leaders here at Seattle Pacific University.”
Pastor
“Andy Larsen recently gave a presentation and engaged our congregation around the question, “Who is our neighbor?” His knowledge and experience as a bridge-builder and peacemaker was evident as he encouraged us to look outside our normal circles of friendships. Andy is well-suited for this ministry as he travels effortlessly between Muslim and Christian communities and invites us to do the same.”

Andy, Are you available to share on Sunday April 30th at Edmonds United Methodist Church for the 6th (of 7) classes on peace building in the Palestine Israel context? The class will be held from noon to 1:30pm on Sundays, right after the final worship service at Edmonds UMC.
I need your new email address so I can send you the full class schedule with all the weekly topics and the list of other speakers already lined up by course leader Hank Landau (who serves with me on the Palestine Concerns Task Force of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, etc.)
