I wrote a paper two years ago for my Global Religion class at UCSB on Sim Shalom, the first Jewish Reform community in Hungary, where I was active until I moved to the US.
That paper was intended to show how Sim Shalom fits global religion, as defined by my professor, Mark Juergensmeyer. I sent the essay to the leaders of the community at the time. Today I received a letter from them asking when I wrote it. (The answer was May 20, 2005.) In the following correspondence I learned that they had put it up on their new, English website. I was happy to see it there, particularly if it helps the goal of the site, raise funds for the renovation of the building to be used as synagogue.
