    Identify and briefly explain three reasons, apart from lower church attendance, why the Church of England might be seen to be “in decline”

    I aim to show that even though statistics say that attendance is declining in religious worship, that actually it may not be that religion is declining but the way worship is happening now has changed and there is in fact many more forms of religion.…

    Are Religious Beliefs and Practices Changing to Reflect a New Era of Diversity and Choice?

    In the recent years there has been evidence to support that religious activity and religious beliefs are declining in the UK e.g. the rise of new religious movements such as Jehovah’s witnesses (sect), but some sociologists reject this and say that religion isn’t declining it is just changing to fit into a more increasingly changing society. Davie is one of these sociologists; in her view religion is taking a different, more privatised form. She explains this by giving the example of that people no longer go to church because they feel they have to or because it is respectable to do so. She says that although churchgoing has declined it is simply because attendance is now a matter of personal choice rather than the obligation it use to be. As a result there is believing without belonging, where by people hold religious beliefs but don’t go to church. Therefore the decline of traditional religion is matched by the growth of the new form of religion. Davie also notes a trend towards vicarious religion, whereby people are experiencing religion second hand. This is a typical pattern in Britain and northern Europe. In these societies people still use the church for rites of passage, rituals that make a change of status such as baptisms, weddings and funerals. Similarly Bibby’s findings show that only 25% attended church but 80% said they have religious beliefs, identified positively with religious traditions and turned to religious for rites of passage. Although they rarely went to church, they continued to be interested in the supernatural. This shows that people are now choosing whether or not to go to church as now it is not seen as an obligation to go and therefore is creating more choice and it shoes that it is becoming more of a personal choice and individualised which is creating more levels of religiosity.…

    Do You Believe The United States Is Becoming More Secularized Or More Fundamentalist

    Going to church and practicing your religious beliefs every Sunday was as common as sitting down with your family every night for dinner. Today’s generation is lucky to have dinner once a week together and may not attend church at all. Americans are so busy with their lives that without being taught religion as our parents and grandparents were, many may doubt what they hear their grandparents speaking and…

    AP Human Geography Religion Notes

    People have abandoned organized religion in growing numbers. Even if they continue to be members of a church, their participation in church activity has declined. Traditions have also weakened. For example, there was a time when almost all shops and businesses were closed on Sundays, preserving the day for sermons, rest, and introspection. Today, shopping centers are mostly open as usual, and Sunday is increasingly devoted to business and personal affairs, not to church.…

    Reflective Essay: Heaven's Gate Mass Suicide

    When I was a little girl, my grandma and grandpa drove my sibling and me to church every Sunday. I was taught the ins and out of being a member of the Church of God, how Christ is the truth, the light and the only way to Heaven. Heaven was taught to be a place to look forward to, a place away from the terrible earth with all the evils that live among us. Where were taught that it is by faith we believe, then we need to follow the rules and we will be saved from hell. Everyone in the church had this simple loving yet serious voice every time they would speak the important choices that I had to make to ensure my salvation. I believe that anyone that is a part of a religious group of people demonstrate the act of willing themselves to believe…

    Religious Service Research Paper

    As an agnostic atheist living in a relatively secular family, I currently do not attend any house of worship regularly. Even earlier in my life when I was a Christian, going to church as a family was a rare occurrence as both of my parents are very secular and essentially have no public religious beliefs. Although I have gone to many different church services and masses over the years, they have all become less and less meaningful to me as my life has advanced. At my elementary and middle school, Grace-St. Luke’s, the students were forced to go to an Episcopalian service twice a week and many others went there on Sundays. I also attended churches and masses with highly religious relatives like grandparents and uncles, who would not tolerate…

    Spiritual Development in Pre-Adolescent Children

    As far back as I recall, my family was deeply involved in the life of the church. My father was a church leader. Among my best friends was the son of the church chairman and another was the pastor’s son. We spent much time together both at the church and at each of our homes. Each of our parents played a role in our formative years. This was our extended family. We were more like cousins than friends, for each of our natural extended families were hundreds of miles away.…

    Religious & Spiritual Autobiography

    I guess growing up for me religion was never forced on me, but still encouraged. My parents urged for us to trek to service on Sunday morning regardless of anyone’s schedule that day. I once even had to miss an 8th grade basketball tournament in order to attend Sunday school. Growing up I never was a very big “church-goer”, but I felt like I had a good relationship with God, which is kind of redundant because of the whole lesson we’re currently discussing. I always felt that I could be spiritual with having an institution to initiate the fellowship with God. I guess I kind of thought that as long as I maintained an emotional relationship with God, and talked with Him on occasions where I wasn’t asking for anything, I felt like I could then be considered an “upstanding Christian”. I know now that this is very unlikely, and that this was not the most efficient way to maintain a fellowship with God. Church is more than institutions in which you are suppose to be exposed to the gospel; it is an opportunity for people to connect and harness one another’s love for their religion and their everlasting love for God. I never looked at my church this way, and often on Sunday’s, found myself repeatedly looking at the clock to see when 10:30 rolled around and we could go to brunch. I regret this past sentiment and outlook on religion and to this day wish I would have taken more advantage of the resources made available to me in my first encounters with church life. Even now I try to maintain a relationship with God, and look to Him when I am in a time of duress or feel like I need guidance. On occasion I feel guilty when doing this because I feel like I am only talking to God because I am in need. This is a great example of one believing they are spiritual without being religious. If our only purpose to having a fellowship with God is to ask for his guidance and favor in a time of need, then we are straying…

    Liturgy - Mass Research Essay

    1--Scenario: You are a teacher in a Catholic school and your principal has discovered parents of your students who do not take their children to Mass because they themselves “get nothing out of it.” These parents have been invited to an adult continuing education evening. You are to pastorally explain God’s Saving Plan and the place of the Eucharist within that Plan. The paper should be written in the style you would speak to them, but referenced appropriately. (Should be in first person voice) What is the Mysterion? What is Christ’s Paschal Mystery and how does the Eucharist participate in it and make present God’s saving plan? What is the role of members of the Church at Mass? You might find it useful to describe various parts of the Mass, which allow your listeners to see the Mysterion at work such as through the principle of lex orandi, lex credendi. You might also discuss why the Church encourages to individuals to go to Mass even if they don’t receive Holy Communion.…

    Essay on Judgemental People

    Church people and their judgmental ways and the effect it has on others. One point in my life I was not a church fundamentalist. My grandmother devoted to a Baptist church made sure I went every Sunday morning rain or shine. "When I went to church", I saw women in their big pretty, hats and very nice dresses, at first I thought these are the type of women I want to be like one day. That thought changed quickly for me after I realize who they really were. My grandmother from time to time had responsibilities during service so I would have to sit with some of the ladies that were on the usher board well known ladies in the church. I would sometimes over hear conversations of them talking about other women in the church that have been having some problems in their marriage or maybe someone that got drunk Mon-Sat. and came to church on Sunday morning.…
