RL/SL Connections: Sacred Spaces
Friday December 19, 2008
9am-10am SLT / 12 noon - 1pm EST
Sacred Spaces in Second Life
We will briefly visit a mosque, synagogue, basilica, cathedral, and a temple, as well as providing directions to other sacred spaces in Second Life. We ask that all attendees respect the beliefs and traditions of the communities visited. For example, upon visiting the mosque, it is asked that you remove your shoes and women should wear a veil that covers their hair. Many of the spaces will provide freebies or gifts to enable visitors to meet these customs.

RL/SL Connections - The MacArthur Foundation in SL
This week, as part of our RL/SL Connections series, we will visit Foundations - the home of the MacArthur Foundation in Second Life. The sim includes information about the Foundation and their funded activities, highlighting a number of visionary virtual world projects either already available or in development. My thanks to Bridget Jennings for the suggestion!
