WELCOME!
Learn about the practice of observant Jews, Christians and Muslims.
The Talking with God Project is a research project into lived religion among followers of the Abrahamic religions––Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Participants are from a broad range of denominations, ages, backgrounds and professions. The research that evolves from the interviews forms the basis of workshops and articles, among other things.
Reflect on your practice and expand your openness.
My belief is that learning about the range of practices and values will both inspire greater self-reflection as well as expand openness to people walking other religious paths. Religious hate and discrimination, such as anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, have long damaged our communities. This time of division calls for change––less antagonism and more curiosity.
