In these past few weeks we finished our first class with Paul and started our new class, Urban Religious Movements. It's been really interesting so far. This week we visited a Hare Krishna temple and a Buddhist meditation center. The Hare Krishna temple had a pretty impressive museum that summarized the Bhagavad Gita with full sized dioramas, which was certainly exciting. And the Buddhist monk we talked to ended our Q & A session by playing us a blues number on the harmonica. So both were really engaging, but also very informative and interesting. We were invited to participate and learn more about some really beautiful faith traditions which we all enjoyed.
This week I started more office work at AFSC. My office had been talking about starting a blog for a while and because I have experience in blogging and enjoy it I adopted that project on Tuesday and ended up building us a blog. I was pretty happy with the way it came together and it will give me something to show potential donors as I'm writing grant proposals, which I will be starting next week.
Tonight we went to a jazz concert in front of the lamp posts at LACMA which was a good way to end the week.
