For the majority of her life, Andrea Palpant Dilley, '00, was surrounded by Christian influences. She spent her childhood in Kenya raised by Quaker missionary parents before moving to Spokane, where she was active in a Presbyterian youth group and later attended Whitworth University. Yet when she reached age 23, she says, "I stepped over the threshold of the church and walked away. I had no idea if I would come back."
