A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE 2
Feedback has been good. A lot of people are interested not only on what I learn but how I will cope and react to it all. Luckily I am not alone, my close friend and flat mate has decided to join me. It will be great to share the load; we can bounce ideas off each other and go to the meetings and interviews together.
I have a friend who works in community radio in Wellington. They are sorting out a weekly time slot for us to share our adventures on air, and to have talkback and interviews on the religion we are experiencing.
So we are all set to go. I am doing some freelance work in the Waikato for about three weeks. When I get back, at the beginning of June, we will begin it. Here is the order so far:
Scientology
Latter Day Saints
Bahai
Neo paganism (New age)
Jehovah’s Witness
Islam
Hinduism
Atheism
Buddhism
Christianity
Chinese Traditional Religion (Confucianism)
Sikhism
Taoism
Judaism
Rastafarianism
We will go for two weeks. Begin on the Monday and finish on the Sunday night.
If it has been really full on, we will take a week off.
I have a brilliant, and rather thick, history of the world religions. I will use that to get an initial general understanding. From there we will try to meet people and emerse ourselves in it.
If you know of other faiths that you are interested in, maybe we can ad them to the list.
