Touching the Divine with 'Hands on Faith' February 13, 2014
For Christians, the Kingdom of God is like tiny a mustard seed. For Nichiren Buddhists, clearing the mind of delusion is like polishing a mirror. Physical, tangible objects can make metaphysical concepts more concrete--and that's the idea behind a school program called "Hands on Faith." Religion teacher Catherine Maresca joins us in the studio to talk about her cirriculum, which gives students the chance to explore physical objects from religions that aren't their own.
