Kalpana Jain, senior religion/ethics editor and director of the Global Religion Journalism Initiative at The Conversation, spent part of 2026 as a visiting researcher at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia – Malaysia’s national university. The piece below is excerpted from Jain’s Substack about one of her first stops after returning home, a Faith Angle gathering in Park City, Utah.

Alongside experiencing the uniqueness and piety of Islam in Malaysia during the year, I had visited sacred spaces associated with a wide range of traditions – Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Christian – across the region. As I returned to my home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, parts of me seemed to remain behind. Like many immigrants who live between worlds, I found myself asking: Where do I belong?
2. 在马来西亚的一年里，我不仅体验了伊斯兰教的独特性和虔诚，还走访了该地区与多种传统相关的神圣空间——佛教、印度教、耆那教、锡克教和基督教。当我回到马萨诸塞州剑桥的家时，我的一部分似乎还留在了那里。像许多生活在两个世界之间的移民一样，我不禁自问：我属于哪里？
