While at Fuller he has studied with Jewish scholars at American Jewish University and William & Mary and in Israel/Palestine.

Nick is passionate about interreligious dialogue, addressing Islamophobia and antisemitism, the intersection between ecology and religion, and helping everyday people understand how religious convictions inform and mediate ethical decisions in civic and political life.
