Abstract

This article sketches the scaffolded three‐phase “My Story” assignment, which unfolds over the course of a semester, is embedded in the context of local lived interreligious encounter, and aims at developing interfaith leadership and interreligious wherewithal. The context (large urban Catholic university), purpose (student learning outcomes centered on personal changemaking, self‐knowledge, and leadership), description (concrete nuts and bolts of the assignment's procedure), and efficacy (results of piloting the assignment) of the assignment are discussed.
