Vincent Harding on the Democratic Spirit Installment 3 — Love and the Struggle for Social Transformation
In Installment 3 of our video conversation on the democratic spirit, Dr.
Harding discusses spiritual love as a necessary component in struggles for social
transformation. Acting out of deep, authentic love, one seeks not to defeat or
diminish the opponent; instead, one aims to draw forth and expand his or her best
human possibilities.*

Religion and Social Transformation at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver and
chairperson and co-founder of the Veterans of Hope project.
