Project Conversion

Andrew Bowen

For Andrew Bowen, theology is a playground. A champion for inter-religious peace and reconciliation, Andrew created Project Conversion in 2011, a year-long personal intervention and immersion into the culture, practices, beliefs, and rituals of 12 belief systems from around the world. Coverage of his efforts has appeared in The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, NPR’s Interfaith Voices Radio, Vatican Insider, The American Baha’i, the Charlotte Observer, and more. His fiction and essays splash in the often murky waters of religion and spirituality, and have appeared in over a dozen venues like decomP, Prick of the Spindle, Pulp Metal Magazine, and Charlotte Viewpoint. He is now speaking and writing about his pluralistic adventures.

Is There a God? Reflections from the Unaffiliated.
"Is there a God? If so, what's he/she/it like?" "What do you believe about the divine?" "Is God one essence displaying itself in many forms?" I get these perennial questions now and then and I assume it's because of my recent immersion into 12 faith systems from around the world. It seems tha

Attending Baha'i Study Circle: A Trip Down Memory Lane
My phone rang around 4:30 yesterday afternoon, just as I had finished washing a sink full of dishes. I looked at the caller I.D. and smiled. I tapped the "answer" button and said, "Allah'u'Abha!" It was my Baha'i Mentor from February of 2011, Dr. McCormick. She still gets tickled by the fact that

How Project Conversion Email Reaffirms My Purpose in Life
The email around here since Project Conversion began in January of 2011 is an interesting place. A veritable Cracker-Jack box of emotionally laced messages, I never know what surprise will emerge each day. Sometimes people inform me that I'm heading toward hell and so take it upon themselves to s
