Most people know little about religious groups outside their own faith tradition.
While it is possible to learn about other groups through readings and viewing video tapes, this course encourages learning through direct observation. For most students, the typical observation will consist of attendance at the regularly scheduled hour of worship of the group being observed. Most religious organizations, however, have various kinds of meetings during the week and these may also be the subject of observation. The more observations you do, and the greater the diversity of those observations, the greater will be your learning experience. I encourage you to do as many as you can.
