Oxford’s Rev. Dr. Andrew Teal — Part 1: Building bridges of interfaith friendship with Elder Matthew S. Holland of the Seventy; with Sheri Dew as guest host

<p>During the summer of 2017, <a href="https://www.thechurchnews.com/2020/4/23/23216193/elder-matthew-s-holland-new-general-authority-seventy-2020-april-uvu-north-carolina">Elder Matthew S. Holland</a> — then president of Utah Valley University and now a General Authority Seventy, knocked on a door with a sign that read, “chaplain,” at Oxford University. Behind the door was <a href="https://www.theology.ox.ac.uk/people/dr-andrew-teal">Reverend Dr. Andrew Teal</a>, an Anglican priest and theologian specializing in Christian church history at Oxford’s Pembroke College. Unbeknownst to either of them, that first meeting would bloom into a friendship beyond themselves and their faith. On this episode of the Church News podcast, the first in a two-part series, Elder Holland and Dr. Rev. Teal are joined by guest host <a href="https://deseretbook.com/t/author/sheri-l-dew">Sheri Dew</a> to discuss <a href="https://www.deseret.com/2022/4/1/23003726/the-power-of-interfaith-friendship-according-to-an-anglican-priest-byu-andrew-teal">interfaith friendship</a> and <a href="https://www.thechurchnews.com/2021/10/26/23217472/rev-teal-brigham-young-university-forum-book-of-mormon-cancel-culture">community building</a>.
