Today, Tuesday, our theme is "service." We displayed this theme by providing service in a variety of ways, both physically and mentally. The high school students split into two groups:
One team visited a bookstore warehouse where they helped to paint and refresh the building.
The other team provided service at a local farm, helping to pull weeds and take care of vegetables.
The college students went into Cambridge, MA, where we found meaning in the historical and modern art at the Harvard Art Museum. One piece of artwork is pictured above, as it depicts interfaith and mixed cultures. We also walked to the facility at which The Pluralism Project is being worked on. We looked at a case study regarding religious decorative expression in an airport during the holiday season. It was interesting to hear each others' opinions and discuss about the possible ways to solve a conflict like this. The college students also got to meet and listen to a man talk about faith during the Civil Rights Movement and marching with Martin Luther King Jr. To conclude the day, during our evening circle, we reflected upon our various forms of service that we provided today.
Some topics include:
-Learning new things
-Appreciation and interpretation of art
-Teamwork and dedication to the task
-Discussing and working to solve religious conflict issues
