    • Abstract:
      The article presents the author's reflections on religious identity. An anecdote is presented regarding his attendance at a Jewish seder ceremony for Passover and the discomfort he felt being identified as a Christian. The author asserts that religious identity is complex should not be used to stereotype or limit people. The primacy of personal action over expressed belief as a definition of religious identity is also mentioned.
