That is our approach. We conduct social debates and profound conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things and it reaches deep into the heart of society. From Zen meditation to the abuse of power by the church, from football fan cults to the gender debate: we approach the broad subject area of religion, faith and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin Olivia Röllin: / oliviaroellin Ahmad Milad Karimi: / donkarimi ____________________ Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFKultur #SRFKulturSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Religion #Mönch #Eremit #Sinndeslebens #Kloster #Gratitude #SRF #Kultur
