Due to her own intellectual pursuits, relationships with others, and strange and miraculous pursuits, she chooses to leave Judaism, despite the emotionally difficulty of the endeavor.

For the first time in my life, I felt as if I was connected to something bigger than myself.

There are numerous contributing factors such as familial status, socioeconomic status, cultural heritage, and ethnic identification that add complexity to an emerging adults’ journey of Christian faith. In particular, cultural heritage and familial status have the ability to largely skew relationships and challenge identification as a Christian.

If this council were to meet, it would meet in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The council should spread its decisions by using the media. One topic that I think that a modern day council should discuss is abortion.
