The Beauty of the Diamond

Rita Sabbagh sat down with Pastor Fahed Abuakel and asked him to tell her a little bit about his background and some of the early influences on his spiritual path.

This conversation was recorded at the ALIF Institute, a nonprofit located in Decatur, Georgia, whose mission is to “foster the understanding and appreciation of Arab cultures.”
