I find myself very drawn to the experience of church. I love to be in a surrounding that's so welcoming. People come shake your hand. That's not always the case in most synagogues I've been in. I also find more of an emphasis on how to live and grow as a person. And I have to say, I'm very inspired by Jesus.

I believe that for lots of churches and religious institutions, their main focus on the development of faith among parishioners needs to spread to the community.

Organized belief in spirituality - that's what a religion is.

I grew up in a secular suburban Jewish household where we only observed the religion on very specific times like a funeral or a Bar Mitzvah.

Churches, synagogues, and mosques should be treated the same.

A survey carried out across the U.S. between 2004 and 2006 showed that frequent church- or synagogue-goers are more likely to give money to charity.

I always felt that church is where I'm going to find my community and people to live my life with.

I noticed that people were craving a way of reinterpreting tradition and of being Jewish without joining a synagogue.

Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.
