Interfaith Encounters

At this same college where positive interfaith interactions abounded, I also encountered a few individuals who consistently would not return my sign of peace, in the literal sense during Mass, and symbolically-to whom I represented "the other." In the verses of holy Scripture, I find my personal call to pursue interfaith dialogue, to always and everywhere respect every person, because they are unique and belong to our one human family, regardless of how different they seem from myself.
