[1] Linda Morgan-Clement\u2019s essay gives practical advice for holding an interfaith dialogue which can result in transformative learning.\u00a0 While adult education and confirmation classes can be powerful places for learning about other faith traditions through readings and watching videos, another path for learning might start by considering one\u2019s own faith tradition through dialogue with others who share that faith tradition in so far as they have joined the same church community.<\/p>\n
[2] After reading Morgan-Clement\u2019s essay, participants in a dialogue might elect to answer her admonition to dialogic conversation with the intent to \u201cjump out of the airplane\u201d and \u201cin free fall, construct something together.\u201d<\/p>\n
[3] Using the process described by Morgan-Clement, participants would recall and then narrate experiences they \u201chave had of awe or mystery that gave them the courage to ask important and scary questions.\u201d\u00a0 In listening to each other\u2019s stories, patiently and quietly, perhaps by using a talking stick to preserve the order of the conversation, participants might consider how their own memories of these experiences and the listening of those of others awakens a yearning for more\u2014more experiences and more listening to the experiences of others.<\/p>\n
[4] The next step might then be to attend a worship service of another faith and to listen to the stories told in by those who worship in that context.<\/p>\n
