Are Ancient Religions Relevant Today? – Meli Solomon, Sue Howard and Katrina Kincade

Living Our Beliefs: Exploring Faith & Religion in Daily Life

Episode 75.
In celebration of my 75th podcast episode, I am highlighting three different ways that people live their ancient religion today. I talk about keeping Kosher (Jewish dietary laws), Sue Howard shares her evangelical Christian tenet of the Nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit, and Katrina Kincade explains her conversion or reversion to Islam and starting to wear a hijab (Muslim veil) at work.

Highlights:
· Daily practice makes abstract concepts real.

· We live into our religion over time. It evolves as we learn and change.

· Meli – Kashrut (Jewish dietary laws) infuses daily life with holiness.

· Sue – Nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit gifts.

· Sue – Pursuing spiritual life leads to bring peace and joy, blessing and love.

· Katrina – Finding balance and peace in Islam during tumultuous times.

· Katrina – Starting to wear a hijab at work.
