From The Episcopal Foundation (A spotlight on a friend and Executive Council Colleague)-The ECF Fellowship Partners Program turns fifty this year, and we are marking that milestone with a series of interviews as we prepare to announce the names of the 2014 Fellows. In this third of four interviews, we hear Elizabeth (Liza) Anderson as she reflects on her work, her ECF Fellowship, leadership development and vocation.
The accepted insight that study abroad has a defining influence on the rest of a student’s life is certainly true for 2010 ECF Fellow Elizabeth (Liza) Anderson. A religion major at Swarthmore College, she traveled to Egypt in 2003 for her junior year abroad. “I thought I was going to study Islam,” she says, “but I fell head over heels in love with the Coptic Church.” That unexpected passion marked the beginning of her study of early Christianity, ecumenism, and Christianity in the Middle East.
