Last week, the story of a convert to Judaism; this week Lauren Winner, the child of a mixed marriage, a woman raised as a non-observant Jew who then became an Orthodox Jew, and then converted to Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>Professor <strong>LEWIS R. RAMBO<\/strong> (Author, <em>Understanding Religious Conversion<\/em>): Some people have one and only one conversion in their lifetime. But I would say in the last 15 years or so, it&#8217;s not uncommon to meet people who had a series of conversions. I see these people as very serious questers and that they go through these, because they&#8217;re wanting to find the religious path that is best for them or, in theological terms, path that is true.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2000\/11\/conversionpt2-post01-parents.jpg\" alt=\"conversionpt2-post01-parents\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13773\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>LAUREN WINNER<\/strong>: Well, my parents were the first intermarriage in either of their families. My mother was from a pretty devout Southern Baptist family, although she herself moved away from that by college. And my father grew up in a sort of classically reform household in terms of, like, no yarmulke allowed in their synagogue, etc. They both grew up in Asheville, North Carolina. First date, I think, was junior prom. Then when I was 11 or 12, which was after my parents divorced, I began to be more involved in Judaism, just of my own impetus. Ever since I was a small child, I really believed in God, really had some unshakeable God thing.<\/p>\n<p>I did formally convert to Judaism, having an Orthodox Jewish conversion, since, under Orthodox law, you&#8217;re not Jewish if your mother&#8217;s not Jewish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEPHEN DUBNER<\/strong>: And describe briefly a day in the life, a week in the life of you as an observant Jew.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: I would get up and I wouldn&#8217;t always make it to the 7 AM morning prayer service, but if I didn&#8217;t make it to that service, I would pray at home. I had a &#8212; for a couple of years, a morning study partner. We would get up and do our Jewish text study in the morning, and, you know, then I lived a life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DUBNER<\/strong>: Tell me about your first inklings, leanings, thoughts about Jesus and\/or Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: Well, I had always been intellectually interested in Christianity. In high school, even as I was moving personally towards Orthodox observance, I read some Christian theology and read history, just because I was interested in religion. I became really interested in the doctrine of the incarnation, and I just thought it was really smart that someone had invented this idea of God actually becoming a person so that we could relate to him better. I just thought that was really savvy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DUBNER<\/strong>: Where does it deepen? Where does that curiosity deepen?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2000\/11\/conversionpt2-post02-winner.jpg\" alt=\"conversionpt2-post02-winner\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-13774\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: Well, my sophomore year of college, I had a dream. In the dream, my friend Michelle, who was one of the women that I studied the Talmud with every week &#8212; Michelle, I and a bunch of other women whom I didn&#8217;t know in the dream or in real life were kidnapped by a group of mermaids. And then there was this one totally beautiful Daniel Day-Lewis-esque, you know, 30-year-old gorgeous man, and I knew that he had come to rescue me. And that was it. I woke up certain, as certain as I had been before or since of anything, that this dream was about Jesus, that Jesus was this Daniel Day-Lewis guy.<\/p>\n<p>I went to talk to a Columbia chaplain, Presbyterian minister. And I said, &#8220;I&#8217;m really thinking a lot about Jesus. I feel that I&#8217;m being called in some way to move towards that. I don&#8217;t really know what to do.&#8221; And his response was, &#8220;When you converted to Orthodox Judaism, you entered a marriage you can&#8217;t get divorced from. So you&#8217;re kind of stuck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DUBNER<\/strong>: Were you surprised by that response?<\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: Yeah, I felt like I&#8217;d been punched in the stomach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DUBNER<\/strong>: What&#8217;d you do with that frustration?<\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: That was really sort of the moment when I began to understand that this was something I really have a personal stake in and I really had to do this. I had to do this with my life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2000\/11\/conversionpt2-post04-rambo.jpg\" alt=\"conversionpt2-post04-rambo\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13775\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Prof. <strong>RAMBO<\/strong>: Many a people I&#8217;ve talked to over the years have said that they have never been so happy that they&#8217;ve found a home or they&#8217;ve found a sense of roots or connection. In many cases, they will report, &#8220;I&#8217;m no longer afraid. I&#8217;m not afraid of dying. I&#8217;m not afraid of what people think of me. I&#8217;m not afraid of guilt, because it can be transformed by God&#8217;s forgiveness.&#8221; All these things just unleash the energy of people.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: I then received a fellowship to go to England for two years, and that was a real gift, because it provided space in a place where almost no one knew me. I did land in the Episcopal Church, the Anglican tradition. It was in England where I was baptized. It was in England where I was confirmed. It was in England where I was identifying publicly and consistently as a Christian. It was in England where I learned to pray as a Christian and so forth and so on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DUBNER<\/strong>: When a person spends so much of her young life searching for God, it raises this question: For a true seeker, how do you know when to stop?<\/p>\n<p>(to Winner) In the first quarter of your life, you&#8217;ve gone from being born to a Jewish father and a Baptist mother and being raised as a nominal Jew and becoming an Orthodox Jew on your own, and then converting to Orthodox Christianity. Do you have any sense &#8212; ?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2000\/11\/conversionpt2-post03-reading.jpg\" alt=\"conversionpt2-post03-reading\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-13776\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: Is Hinduism next? I obviously don&#8217;t &#8212; I can&#8217;t say anything that will convince anyone else of this. There are certainly people out there who, I&#8217;m sure, think, you know, five years from now I may be sitting Zen or something. It&#8217;s evident to me that that will not be the case. It&#8217;s evident to me that this is where I&#8217;ve landed.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. <strong>RAMBO<\/strong>: Taking on religion can be a way of burning bridges and establishing a sense of independence and distance. But motivations change, just as someone might fall in love with someone merely because they were good looking and there was a great sexual attraction, but then later on, if the marriage or the relationship lasts, it&#8217;s because they&#8217;ve come to know the person, trust the person, love in a way that&#8217;s not just sexual and for the moment so that romantic passion gets transformed into something that is much more lasting. And I see that happening a lot in conversion.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. <strong>WINNER<\/strong>: The primary thing that Christianity has given to me is a sense of a personal relationship with God, a sense of God&#8217;s presence and involvement in my day-to-day life in a way that Jews might certainly theoretically affirm and many Jews might experience that. That is not something that I really lived as an Orthodox Jew. So that, to me, is the key. It&#8217;s hard to separate all this from the fact that I really do believe in Jesus. I really think that it&#8217;s true, and I&#8217;m amazed and grateful that I know that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DUBNER<\/strong>: For RELIGION &amp; ETHICS NEWSWEEKLY, I&#8217;m Stephen Dubner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the second of our two-part series on religious conversion, R &amp; E talks to Lauren Winner.
