I spent my final year of Seminary training in interfaith peace work under the care of Odyssey Impact, funded by Trinity Wall Street and led by Rose Castle Foundation out of England. This formative year changed my life, my ability to dialogue with others from different faith traditions and gave me purpose for service to Christ. I went to Egypt, England and Atlanta as part of this training and did a special study on Christian/Muslim peace work. I remain connected to Rose Castle and adore their work.

I continue to volunteer with Rose Castle Foundation as able assisting in training of facilitators of a method of dialogue called Scriptural Reasoning. Scriptural Reasoning comes from Cambridge University’s Interfaith Programme and is a powerful method of connecting respectively over the Abrahamic sacred texts.
