UCLA 1078 Religious Diversity in Los Angeles Discussion

I need a 1-2 page discussion paper on religious diversity in Los Angeles. This discussion is due in a couple of hours. So please rush. Instructions are as follows:

I have added a sample submission from another student.

Thank you.

Brie Loskota wrote on the vitality, adaptability, and innovation found in the diverse religions of Los Angeles. For innovation to occur, she said:

“You need density—you need a lot of things in one space bumping into, stumbling over, and existing next to each other. That’s why L.A. is such an amazing place for religious innovation. As our mayor likes to say, L.A. is the most

religiously diverse experiment in all of human history. . . . It’s also important to realize that this rich religious landscape is in constant motion. Some spiritual groups cross-pollinate across traditions, and all of these groups create

layers of history as they rise or fall, move up or move on, and move in or move out of buildings and neighborhoods.”

The article continues with observations on L.A. as the home of Pentecostalism as well as the Self-Realization Fellowship and gives a short description of the various old churches and a Jewish temple that have become the

locations for other faiths. Loskota’s article can be found by clicking on “The L.A. Decade: Religious Innovation in an Emerging Global City” (Links to an external site.)

What to Discuss

If you live anywhere in L.A., even the South Bay, then you know density! I’d like you to try a little fieldwork survey just from your desktop or device and tell us about the religious diversity found in your neighborhood or community.

Don’t be limited to the usual brick-and-mortar places of worship. Perhaps you know of a Pagan group that meets in a bookstore or of a botánica where spiritual advice is dispensed. Include something like these as well. The

objective is to highlight the diversity. It’s okay not to indicate your community and simply work from some point in the L.A. area. The links below should help, and also try Google maps.

Begin by picking any one starting point. Then, within a 3-4 mile radius of that point, identify 5 religious or spiritually focused organizations. Describe the general location. For instance, you could say that the organizations you have

listed are all found within the south Torrance area. For those who might be outside the L.A. area, then rely on the information provided in the links below or get in touch with me for more suggestions.

Identify the faith or tradition if the name of the organization itself doesn’t indicate that, and feel free to add one photo of the church, synagogue, temple, etc. (A photo isn’t required.) Only one photo per the whole discussion. Be

sure to identify the photo in the body of your discussion.

Most of our discussions are fairly structured, but let’s see where this one goes when you all contribute with an account of the religious and spiritual organizations in a particular area. For “inspiration,” take a look at the websites

and webpages linked below.

There might be be some overlap of sites that everyone posts, but let’s try to spread out a little and not all cover the same territories.

Read the posts of others and respond to at least one other student in class.

Sample Answer: (Just for reference, DO NOT COPY)

My starting point for the religious communities was the Los Angeles Civic Center located near Grand Park.

Ohr Hashalom Academy (Tradition: Jewish)

The general location of the Ohr Hashalom Academy is within a lively retail area in the heart of LA’s Fashion District. Ohr Hashalom is a synagogue that serves mainly the Iranian community of businessmen that live within the

neighborhood, and work nearby as well. The services are given Mondays through Fridays starting at 8:15 am. There are also Mincha services given Mondays through Fridays at the synagogue starting from 4:20 pm. All services

are given solely in Persian.

The Sanctuary (Tradition: Protestant)

The location of The Sanctuary is inside a bar above a local nightclub in the DTLA Financial District, just South of the Dodgers Stadium. Services are offered in English and Spanish on Sundays at 9 am and 11 am. The church also

offers Midweek Bible Study services for the community at 7 pm on weekdays. The church provides online services as well known as “Thursday Night Equipping” and embrace their well know slogan of “A real church for the real

world”. The leader’s name is Jay Haizlip, working at 501 S Spring Street.

These Days (Tradition: Unspecified/Multiple)

The These Days center is located in the building of 118 Winston Street, and is a community art gallery and store that features emerging artists, modern designs, unique works, and religious galleries. There are various gallery and

store walkthroughs and hours held on Thursdays and Fridays from 12 – 7 pm, on Saturdays from 11 to 7 pm, and on Sundays from 11 to 5 pm. There are no religious services offered at the gallery, however walkthroughs are

offered in both English and Spanish. The leaders of the gallery are Stephan and Jodi Zeigler.

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels (Tradition: Catholic)

The Cathedral of Our Lady off the Angels is located between the civic and cultural centers of Los Angeles, which the community takes great pride in participating in. The cathedral opened in 2002 after an earthquake to replace

damaged property, in which its decontructivist post-modern architecture is heavily celebrated. The cathedral is conveniently located just off the freeway, which also links hundreds of Roman Catholic missions to its center point.

Services are offered in both English and Spanish on Sundays at 8 and 10 am, and Mondays through Fridays at 7 am and 12:10 pm. The leader of the cathedral is Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, alongside Pastor Fr. David Gallardo.

The cathedral also celebrates extensive community service, and weekly organ recitals.

Kosayan Buddhist Temple (Tradition: Buddhist)

The Kosayan Buddhist Temple is located in Little Tokyo, just South of the Dodgers stadium, as well. Although a bit difficult to find, the temple is known for its tucked away treasury just off of 1st Street. The temple showcases

beautiful features and mythological murals and decorations coinciding with religious services. The temple is a branch of the Koyasan Shington Buddhist sector, and is the North American and South American regional

headquarters for its particular sector. Services are offered in both English and Japanese, and offered on Sundays at 10 am, with Goma offered in English at 1:30
