I have just recently published a short essay in the UK magazine, Faith Initiative, which is a publication dedicated to promoting interreligious conversation and embracing diversity.
In this 21st issue of Faith Initiative I write about my experiences as a Christian attending a Buddhist-founded university (University of the West) and living in a mostly Buddhist community. The article outlines my familial, cultural, and religious background, my experiences dialoguing and "worshipping" with Buddhists, and how being a Christian among Buddhists has impacted and changed my Christian faith and identity.
It's a personal rather than a scholarly article, but it was fun to write and share my spiritual experiences with others in an effort to promote interfaith relations and cultural diversity here and abroad. I was able to mention my alma maters as well as describe how I came to embrace the Unity movement as the best communal support for cultivating my progressive Christian spirituality.
Since only select essays can be accessed on the Faith Initiative website, mine isn't yet available to read online, but will be in a few months (I'll send out a reminder when the time comes). However, if anyone is interested, let me know and I can send a personal PDF verson of the essay via email.
