[nagdu] going to church

[Jenine Stanley]

Julie, 

 

Here's the policy at GDF about religious services and 12-step meetings. We
will not provide transportation to these types of places and unless agreed
upon with your instructor for training purposes, and yes, accompanied by
said instructor, you will leave your dog on campus. 

 

We are happy to provide a list of churches and 12-step programs in the area
of our Long Island campus. We encourage you to contact them for meeting
times and yes, even to see if transportation might be available. Otherwise,
we provide you with the number of a reliable local cab company with whom we
do business regularly. 

 

Again, if you wish to attend church services or a 12-step meeting when
training is taking place, you clear that with your instructor. We do work on
Sunday mornings and our lectures are usually from 7:00pm to 8:30pm weekday
evenings. 

 

We really don't care what religion you practice as long as you are ready for
training when training takes place and are on campus and available to care
for your dog during feeding and break times.

Subject: [nagdu] going to church

 

The topic of going to church while at guide dog school has fascinated me for
years.  So today I'm just going to ask, how exactly does this work?  I mean
is there one church that everyone goes to?  Or do you get to pick which one
you want to attend?  what if your religion isn't Christian, will they take
you to a Temple, Mosque or other place of worship, given that there is one
in the area?  Also what if your day of worship isn't Sunday, are there
options for worship services on other days?

I'm asking out of sheer curiosity.  I don't attend church myself.

Julie
