Faith Journey Timeline Part III:

The community at Boston University did not have a particularly active Episcopal presence when I was there. Jack Smith, the chaplain was very good friends with James Carroll (yes, that James Carroll) who was the Roman Catholic chaplain. We thought nothing of combining our programs, and had a wonderful time sharing our common understandings and learning about our differences. I also taught confirmation class at St. Stephen's in the South End, Boston.  The class was made up entirely of Latinos, which gave me a great opportunity to develop my Spanish language skills and to explore their culture while I walked with them through their questions of life and faith. Two experiences during those four years that expanded my understanding of who makes up this body of Christ. I learned "on the ground" how to share my faith with others while allowing theirs to work on me.        - Debbie
