  My research examines contemporary interfaith training and the roles of priests and rabbis in the United Kingdom and the United States. Through interviews with seminary faculty and graduates of the respective seminaries serving in religiously diverse areas, I hope to better understand the role of clergy today and reveal effective methods of theological training that can contribute to a cooperative understanding of the religious other in local communities. I am a native of Texas, where I was raised and received a BA in Religion at Baylor University in 2014. Throughout my undergraduate tenure, I completed placements in London with the Centre for Theology and Community and Near Neighbours, igniting my interest for interfaith study. I was awarded an MPhil in Sociology from the University of Cambridge in 2015. Less
