UFM Class: Religions of Southeast Asia

Friday, April 7, 2023 - 11:30am

Location: Community Room at Meadowlark

UFM Lifetime Learning presents Religions of Southeast Asia taught by Dr. Michael Wesch, a professor of anthropology at K-State. 

In this class, we will explore the religions of Southeast Asea as they are actually lived and experienced by people in Thailand and Vietnam. We will explore Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Cao Dai. Cao Dai is a religion that blends all of these together with Christianity. Dr. Wesch has been doing research with Cao Dai for more than two years and will share photos and videos from his experiences there.

This three-session course will meet Friday, April 7, at 11:30 a.m. in the Community Room. The second and third sessions will meet April 14 and April 21.
