Religious Diversity Not Out of Reach

This article from the Topeka Capital-Journal discusses different variations of prayer between different religions. I was surprised that an article in my somewhat conservative hometown paper would even think of including any religions other than various denominations of Christian when they discussed prayer, yet the writer also mentioned how Wiccans pray. Although I’m a little dismayed that most of the sources were members of Christian churches, the article was still interesting and informative. Because of the weak link between the Christian aspect of the story and the Wiccan portion, it tended to come across as though the writer had finished the story and realized she had only spoken to Christians, making the story seem a little one sided. Overall I was happily surprised at the level of diversity shown in this article, even if it was a bit forced.
