Road Map

Holy cow we're leaving on THURSDAY!!!
This is what the trip looks like so far:

(it's a blur.)

Some explanation is due as to what we're actually doing. Debbie and I (Katie) are interested in exploring how people of faith relate to each other around the communion table, and how that translates into community life. We figured the best way to figure this out would be to leave the classroom, drive around the country, and ask people ourselves.

We have our hypotheses and identified our variables, but we are eagerly anticipating surprises. Who knows what we'll find, but I'm looking forward to hearing some good stories. As we drive, we'll post to the blog, and ultimately create a photo-documentary outlining our findings and experiences.

This trip is funded by the Boston University School of Theology Springboard Funding Committee, and is an independent theological action-reflection project (which is a fancy way of saying, this isn't institutional research - we're just curious students).

Questions? Thoughts? Inspirations? Recommendations? Post away.
