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.
