Robert Taylor- Sent to the United States in 1980 by his mentor, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to avoid imprisonment for his anti-apartheid activity, Robert V. Taylor has spent a lifetime integrating personal spirituality with the question of how we each leave a footprint of compassion in the world. His new book I'm Spiritual Not Religious: Your Guide To An Ethical Life offers a path to an integrated life of purpose. Robert's leadership of one of the largest Episcopal congregations in the United States was known for engaging spirituality with implications for personal and public action. In his own life this has been expressed in more than 20 years of work to end homelessness in New York and Seattle.
