Religion 3310: Eastern Orthodox Theology

Orthodox monastery
Dr. Philip LeMasters decided that the best way to give his students the full flavor of Orthodox Christianity was not just to have them read about it in class, but to actually experience it.  So, on November 30, 2007, members of his course on Eastern Orthodox Theology took a field trip to the Holy Archangels Greek Orthodox monastery in Kendalia, Texas.  Above: what they saw when they arrived outside the monastery compound.
