Abstract
This study investigates the transformative experiences of the interfaith community at Xavier University’s Center for Interfaith Community Engagement in Cincinnati, Ohio. Six different participant groups are analyzed within the larger case study, and a thorough cross-case analysis is conducted to determine if transformation is occurring as a result of engagement with this community. Once evidence of transformation is found, this study examines the nature of those experiences. Traditional and non-traditional qualitative methods such as poetic inquiry are used within a theoretical framework based on Mezirow’s Theory of Transformative Learning.
