Make a Friend
One of the most powerful things you can do is initiate conversation with someone different than you.  Take the time to sit down and have tea or share a meal with someone from a different religious background.  Invite your neighbor or coworker over for dinner and ask them about their family, their country of origin, their favorite foods and their religious beliefs.  Walls will quickly come down as you show hospitality and love for someone you used to be afraid of.  You will begin to see they are not that different from you, and who knows… you may just find a friend for life!
