It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a round-up of interesting links, so this list is going to be a little bit long.
A Nova Roma Temple in Ukraine was attacked and vandalized by Orthodox Christians, and the priest was beaten so badly he had to be hospitalized (I heard on one of yahoogroups that I am on that he was recently discharged from the hospital). Pictures of the damage were posted on the Cultus Deorum Romanorum blog. You can go here to make donations to the rebuild the temple if you’d like to help.
Andrew Bowen of Project Conversion begins his month as a Wiccan.Although I have not been following every post Andrew makes, I have been aware of his project to learn about the world’s religions. He spends one month studying and living as a member that month’s religion. He always finds a mentor from each of the religions to guide him. So far he has done Hinduism, Sikh, Islam, LDS, Buddhism, and others. A month is obviously not a lot of time to go in depth, but he does seem dedicated and I believe it comes from a genuine desire to learn about and celebrate all the religions. I applaud his effort.
