Compassionate Listening session analysis

During the semester, you will arrange to sit and listen to someone tell you about their personal experiences as a member of another religion (not your own).  The idea is to get the “insider” perspective of a real person who can share with you, one-on-one, about their feelings, experiences, memories, and perspective. You then write an analysis of the listening session, with a focus on your own learning and insight.

1. Identify someone from a religion different from your own.
