The Rev. Patrick Howell, S.J., was an important voice and heart on our tour. Patrick is the Vice President for Mission and Ministry at Seattle University. Today's Seattle Times, published his column about our trip. The headline, Call to prayer points out key role of Islam in modern-day Turkey, was selected by the editors, though Patrick's article shared more interesting perceptions from our shared experience. He offers insights from the changes he's seen since his previous journey to Turkey, and a context in which to view our own life here in Seattle. His article closes with the words of Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi, whose wisdom hung in the air over many of our interfaith dialogues.
