Another Kent Spencer column
CONGREGATION: Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara temple
HEAD OF CONGREGATION: Bikramjit Singh Sandhar
RELIGION: Sikh
WHAT IS TRADITIONAL: Respect for the Almighty and reading of scriptures as written by the gurus.
WHAT IS MODERN: From a technical perspective, it would be the use of PowerPoint and English translations of scriptures.
WHAT MIGHT SURPRISE PEOPLE: The free community kitchen that serves food every day from morning to night and the complete equality for men and women.
WHAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT YOUR TEMPLE: From 3 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. at night there is live hymn singing, and discourse on God in the main hall, which is open to all.
