As 40 religiously diverse youth travel on an interfaith exchange between their hometowns of Chciago and Amman, Jordan they begin a different kind of conversation about religion, a conversation that has them asking real questions about their lives, faiths and the differences between them.

Eboo Patel's blog, The Faith Divide, is part of an ongoing conversation hosted by Newsweek and The Washington Post OnFaith series with Jon Meacham and Sally Quinn.
