A Sacred Piece of Home: Washington, D.C.

Expanding to the Suburbs

Beyond the Beltway, we visit New Hampshire Avenue – “Highway to Heaven” – its Buddhist and Hindu temples, Vietnamese and Ukrainian churches and a mosque. A Korean Presbyterian Pastor speaks about his church in the VA suburbs. We learn about Jainism, and about Zoroastrianism – an ancient Persian religion. The monumental Mormon temple and the community’s history of migration and outreach.
