My Faith in Your Faith: Interfaith Journeys

Afra Saskia Tucker
I am Development Coordinator at the Montreal Diocesan Theological College. Blessed with a multi-cultural family and an inclination to learn about other faith traditions, I have learned from my life experiences here and abroad that encounters with people of different faiths, beliefs, and cultures are in fact essential and enriching to my own faith journey.

A New Year’s Letter to Creators of the Unfounded

December 31st, 2013

Hiding my Convictions
