On  my Sunday bike ride along the boardwalk this morning, I ran into an exceptional  array of religious diversity.   Some Jewish people out for a stroll in Bradley Beach,  an open air Methodist  service on the boardwalk in Ocean Grove, some people wearing all white returning from the sea where one of them  had  just been  baptized.  In Asbury Park I came across an older gentleman wearing an  "I Love Jesus" baseball cap and a Mennonite family on the playground.   I have had that experience before on Sunday mornings on the boardwalk stretch from Belmar to Asbury Park, and it always makes me appreciate the diverse area  I live in.  The ocean calls people of all faiths to the boardwalk for reflection, celebration and community.
