Seattle author Robert V. Taylor lives the question of how to integrate personal spirituality with compassionate purpose – and invites others to do the same in his book  A New Way to Be Human. From his miraculous physical healing as a teenager in Cape Town, to fighting apartheid alongside Desmond Tutu, to his eventual immigration to the United States and appointment as one of the nation’s highest-ranking, openly gay Episcopal priests, Taylor outlines seven spiritual pathways to becoming fully alive.

Premieres tonight at 8 p.m. on Channel 21
