| Introduction | I'm Kelda. I was raised haphazardly in a conservative Christian Union Church. From the earliest age I was interested in religion.I remember at age 6 trying to gather up twigs to form a cross over the body of a bird. Around age 12, I discovered mythology, specifically the Norse story of Tyr and the Fenris Wolf. From there onward, my studying ran equally between Christianity "real" & mythology from around the world "not real." Around age 20, I immersed myself in mythology, recognizing the reality that lived in it. This kept me quite content for some 20 years, primarily in the area of Goddess worship. Then I met a jovial, charismatic Rabbi who, with a Catholic priest and a Hindu swami, had founded an accredited Interfaith Seminary. I asked, "May a Goddess worshipper kiss a Rabbi?" He answered. "If she wants to graduate, she will." The next two years were exciting and challenging.The approximately 180 students brought bright and beautiful reflections of their own faith.Two years without an argument! Now that's interfaith. |
