My own faith as a Christian has
grown stronger, I think,
2
00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:11.160
because of my work like this
refugee work here at Jubilee
3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.369
with people from
Buddhist backgrounds,
4
00:00:14.436 --> 00:00:16.960
from Hindu or
Muslim backgrounds,
5
00:00:17.026 --> 00:00:18.390
other backgrounds.
6
00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:23.519
Partly because we have seen so
many warm hearted mothers and
7
00:00:23.586 --> 00:00:26.789
fathers and families that have
come here for those
8
00:00:26.856 --> 00:00:30.179
other backgrounds, who also
love each other,
9
00:00:30.246 --> 00:00:34.859
who love their children, who put the
same values into action
10
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.630
that I believe Jesus taught and that I
tried to follow as a Christian
11
00:00:40.259 --> 00:00:44.310
and love bridges those gaps.
12
00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:49.710
And very often the people who
are most concerned about oh
13
00:00:49.776 --> 00:00:53.789
keep those Muslims out,
it's because they teach
14
00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:56.310
I would say for me a
kind of
15
00:00:56.376 --> 00:00:58.079
a different kind of Christianity.
16
00:00:58.146 --> 00:01:01.770
They don't really hear what
Jesus said about reaching out
17
00:01:01.836 --> 00:01:03.479
to your neighbor,
loving your neighbors,
18
00:01:03.546 --> 00:01:07.230
loving even your enemies,
loving the Samaritans,
19
00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.700
who are very different from Jews
of Jesus time.
20
00:01:11.766 --> 00:01:15.719
And he talked constantly about
reaching out across
21
00:01:15.786 --> 00:01:18.420
and loving people when they
are your neighbors.
22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:24.810
My own faith as a Christian has grown
deeper, not shallower, but deeper.
23
00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:29.430
And I want to be more like Jesus
was as I'm convinced he was
24
00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:32.159
toward people with different faiths.
25
00:01:32.489 --> 00:01:35.480
It doesn't mean I
want to become a Muslim.
26
00:01:35.546 --> 00:01:38.640
No, I want to become even more
of a Christian because I love
27
00:01:38.706 --> 00:01:43.040
the Muslims around me and I
feel that from them as well.
28
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:43.790
Yeah.
