God / Spirituality - melting pot it is!

"MY STORY" by Sylvie Imelda from Portugal.

 The United States is arguably the largest melting pot of religion that the world has ever known. The amazing accomplishment is that so many faiths can live together in relative peace.

For the immigrant or refugee, the world of American publishing offers countless books on religion and spirituality. The streets offer any number of churches from all denominations possible. The plethora of self-help seminars and books can be overwhelming. But they all offer opportunities for exploring these realms in ways that you never knew existed. What discoveries have you made? Has the process of immigration changed your beliefs? Any life transformations? Talk to us about them.

FEATURED INTERVIEW:

Sonia Choquette. (first generation born in the USA)
"The first thing to say about the experience of an immigrant is that people are like a tree whose roots have been cut off. Fortunately the human spirit is regenerative but only if you acknowledge that you have suffered a major psychic wound, even if you move under the best of conditions. So you can build new roots."
