by Ranya Idliby (Muslim), Suzanne Oliver (Christian), and Priscilla Warner (Jew), 2006
Borrowed from BJ Stoner. Started out good – they face their prejudices and stereotypes. Ends up not good. The Christian woman loses her faith – becomes a “Christian Universalist” – Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation.
The Muslim woman is so amazing – gracious, elegant, smart (rich, too – St. Bart’s, Dubai, France). She finds her imam – a way to be an American Muslim. She was originally (her parents) from Palestine and her family had to leave when Israel formed.
The Jewish woman (Priscilla) basically had religion but no faith – was an anxious, neurotic, worrier, with constant panic attacks. She found God through the friendship with these women. Even thinks of Jesus as her friend.
It’s just sad what happened to the Christian.
