The new academic year began today! (It was supposed to start yesterday, but storm-related transit concerns led to the cancellation of classes. We had the same weather-related missed-beat start last semester, and it keeps one slightly incredulous well into the semester...) The first meeting of "Lived Religion in New York City" was fun, a good group of motivated and interesting students with a great variety of backgrounds, long-standing students of religion, perfect beginners and everything in between. I'll tell you more about the class as it unfolds!
