Hi! My name is Elaina Jo and this year I am interning for Loyola University Chicago Interfaith Ministry. I want to share my work, discoveries, and personal story so that other people might be inspired learn more about interfaith initiatives. Although I am Catholic, I have been drawn to other faith traditions through out my life. I am a religious studies major and through my classes I began to learn about other faith traditions, but also began to integrate new beliefs from these traditions into my own spirituality. Things from Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism all spoke to my heart and inspired me to delve deeper into my personal understanding of religion and my experience of it. Hopefully this year I can work on letting more people experience faith traditions outside their own, and further develop an interfaith community on our campus. I'm excited to share my work through this blog and hopefully bring other voices to our blog too!
