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 BOOK:
Disappearance of the Outside: A Manifesto for
Escape
by Andrei Codrescu
Taking into account his own exile from Stalinist Romania,
as well as the plights of such greats as Garcia Marquez, Breton, Dada,
Kundera, and Milosz, Codrescu issues a call for those living in a free
society to reach beyond a benign reality founded in technology and
commercialism by tapping into their imaginations and striving for a better,
evolutionary existence.

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."
