Two Friends on a Journey

Muhammad Shafiq, executive director of the Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue at Nazareth College, and the Rt. Rev. Prince G. Singh, Bishop of Rochester, are friends, but they did not realize they would be on the same pilgrimage to the Holy Land until shortly before it began.

Townsend served on TLC’s news team during the 77th General Convention in 2012, and we are pleased to publish his work again.
