Christina Ross says she feel she fits right in at World Youth Day. She’s young, she’s faithful and she’s Lutheran. Ross, 20, is just one of many non-Catholics who have decided to participate in WYD 2005.
Organizers say this WYD may have the highest number of non-Roman Catholic participants ever, however at a press conference Saturday organizers did yet have official figures.
The university student from Winnipeg, Canada, is active in her church. She said her Catholic friends were coming to World Youth Day and she wanted to take part.
“I want to grow in my faith and this is a great opportunity. We all believe in the same God,” Ross said, wearing an I Love Jesus T-shirt.
