One Kokomo woman prays five times a day, often in her office, pointing herself northeast toward Mecca as she does. Meanwhile, a young man who works for her isn’t even sure he believes in a god. Indiana University Kokomo’s athletic director found his Christian faith in college and now prays twice a day and meets often with his pastor. A New York native and Kokomo transplant worships at the Jewish temple in town once a month, essentially the only young person there apart from the student rabbi who travels from Cincinnati to teach them. These are the faces of faith in the community. Young people here have a diverse set of belief systems, mirroring national trends.
