Northern Ireland Wrap-Up
1/28 Welp, as my time comes to a close here in Northern Ireland all I can really say is that this month has been completely different than anything I could’ve anticipated, but I’m so glad to have had the opportunity! We spent this past week completing a program called “Towards Understanding and Healing” (TUH), which is a mediation training program that was created right...

Reverend Dr. Johnston McMaster Assignment
This was the assignment entry for my course about the Reverend. Possibly more to come… Describe/Experience Today was spent listening to our guest speaker Reverend Dr. Johnston McMaster. The first portion of the day was spent discussing the history of Northern Ireland during the 17th and 19th centuries, and how both time frames contributed to the development of modern-day identities...

Belfast and Return to Derry!
Tuesday 1/17 was spent in Belfast, Northern Ireland and it was by far the most intense, emotional day. We spent the first part of the day taking a tour of Falls Road and the Catholic, Republican side of West Belfast with a Republican ex-prisoner named Brian (his IRA name was Rocky). The first piece of the tour, we walked into a Republican neighborhood at the foot of the Peace Wall, which was about...

DUBLIN WEEKEND EPICNESS!!
Again, it has been a few days since I last blogged about my experiences this January, but this is what has happened for the past couple of days!!   Friday 1/13 was spent traveling from Derry to Belfast, then from there to Dublin. All in all, it was only about 4.5 hours of travel time via bus which wasn’t too bad, plus the Irish countryside was gorgeous to see! Once arrived in downtown Dublin,...

N Ireland Update and Bday Week!
It has been a few days since I blogged about my experiences - I’ve been extremely busy with schoolwork, my twenty first birthday, and exploring - but this will get me all caught back up!!   Sunday 1/8 was a very laid back day because we had stayed out extremely late the night before enjoying what the locals call “Sweatro” (really called Metro), a cool little night club that loves playing...

N. Ireland Day 3 - Giant's Causeway
Today was super long because we got up at 8am and took an adventure to the nothernly part of the coast by train. It was one of the most amazing train rides I have ever seen! We ended up taking the train to Colerain, then took another one to Portrush. Everything is super cold and windy right now, but luckily we didn’t have too much rain..Once we got to Portrush, we discovered that the bus we...

Ode to Gerry and Day 2
Friday, January 6 Last night was RIDICULOUS. A few of us went out to the locals’ pub in Derry, just outside the walled city and had an interesting experience…we were chatting with some of the folks that regularly frequent the pub and all was well. I had a somewhat difficult conversation with a fellow named Gerry, an older gentleman that was easily the most shmammered in the whole bar,...

NORTHERN IRELAND 2012!!!
(A day late…) Thursday, January 5th Welp, I have finally arrived safe and sound in Derry, Northern Ireland!! It was a LONG trip to get here - we were up for a day and a half by the time we actually got to hit the sheets, which was quite intense haha. Today was our first day of “class” where we met in the conference room at our quite ritzy hotel called the Tower Hotel. We will be meeting...

Finitude & Fallibility: I cannot conceive of a God... →
nathanspage: I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such… word.
