A New Experience.

Back in April, Phil and I visited this Baha'i House of Worship (Lotus Temple) in New Delhi. Besides being a beautiful place (LOOK AT IT!), we became quite interested in the Baha'i religion itself, as the visitor's center was dedicated to teaching you about OTHER religions. AH HA - world citizenship! It appealed to us instantly.

Anyways, one of our colleagues is of the Baha'i faith and invited us to a devotional meeting at his house this morning. The theme of the meeting was "service to humanity" and the program followed the format of a prayer and two readings followed by a discussion on each reading. We all took turns reading and contributing to the discussion and, because there were other educators in attendance, emphasis was placed on how we can use our profession to better serve humanity. It was very interesting and left us feeling reflective and happy. GIVING FEELS GOOD. Christmas in Nepal is going to be AMAZING.
