What begins a journey...particularly an interfaith journey? Well, I suppose it starts with doing something new, expanding your world in some way. For many of us, that often starts with college. I was plunged into a different world when I went to Stephens College in Columbia, MO. I came from Kokomo, Indiana, a largely Protestant, average American middle class community and Stephens offered a new and rather sophisticated world of girls from all over the U.S. In Kokomo I had two Jewish family friends, but no Catholic friends, and certainly no Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims or Buddhists.
