Religious Observation
The time date and time I went to observe the religious service or observance is November 6th 2016 at 9:00am to 11am. The name of the site is St. Mary Gate of Heaven located on 103-12 101st Ave Ozone Park New York 11416. The outside of the building is very detailed and what looks like to me a cathedral style building very tall and big with five doors for entry. Outside had some sort of information board that told what was happening at certain times and dates. It also said information about the masses and displayed the hours of operation and phone number which I found very helpful. The outside had statues of Jesus. There is a cross on the of the building. Inside is very beautiful the statue of the Jesus was so huge that it needed anchors to hold …show more content…
The same of what Father Rev. Gerald Fitzsimmons was explaining what he was saying Blessed are the clean of heart for they shall see god and Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall he called children of god this was from also the reading I was following long and takes notes of. And I think is it is for another shot or a chance at life without committing a sin maybe it can change you to be a better person which I believe everyone deserves a second change to pick themselves up. I also asked another the person of the group at the end of the service because the first one I talked to didn’t know much for me to take down notes of about the building and congregation. He said the church building was built and in service in 1912. It was said to be created by a Bishop named Charles McDonald, bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn. Now about the religious congregation it was started by St. Louis Marie de Montfort. November 1904 the first Daughters of Wisdom were also members of the Monfortian family who arrived from Canada to start a school for Roman Catholic Christian education of the children of St. Mary Gate of Heaven Parish this was also a school. I noticed after the service children came to the school they had some team. In January of 1905, the daughters of wisdom started the school in a storefront on what is now 103-12 101st Ave Ozone

    The religion that I have chosen to discuss is the Jewish religion, or Judaism. In seeking information about Judaism, I conducted an interview at the Beth Israel Congregation near downtown Fayetteville, North Carolina. The synagogue is located at 2204 Morganton Rd., only a few miles from downtown Fayetteville and only a few miles from a major shopping mall in the area. Upon arriving at the synagogue in the afternoon heat of nearly 90 degrees, I was surprised to see the plush gardens to one side of the building. There is a beautiful walking path through a well-manicured lawn. The concrete path leads to a rectangular gazebo overgrown with vine. The small to medium trees and bushes on the property are perfectly maintained and are arrayed in vibrant colors. As I made my way to the front entrance, I noted the light colored brickwork and matching stonework on the front of the building. The building itself gives the appearance of a two story structure with its abstract sculpture, but upon further investigation, the highest part of the building is simple a raised inner ceiling.…

    On February 28, 2010, I went on a fieldtrip to a Methodist church called Muir’s Chapel United Methodist Church (UMC). The church was founded in 1822 when Jeremiah Dodson, a local preacher from the west, held services under brush arbors and the shade of oak trees on the grounds. The church grounds were located behind where the current building is located at 314 Muir's Chapel Road Greensboro, NC 27410. After his services and charge began, the charge was organized and passed on to the Reverend Thacker Muir. Reverend Muir cut the first log for the first structure known as the “Log Meeting House.” In Reverend Muir’s honor the name was changed to Muir’s Chapel.…

    In the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Hurston utilizes the theme of nature not only for the means of symbolism or imagery, but in order to convey Janie’s developing perception of the world around her. In the beginning of the story, Janie seems to illustrate the mindset of a typical young girl who withholds dreams pertaining to love and marriage, still untouched from the harsh realities that are integrated amongst the various gifts of life. Throughout the story, Hurston uses the different depictions of nature to convey the convergence of the beauty of life’s fairing with the anguish that stems from the death and destruction it brings, in order to portray how this mergence allowed Janie to completely transform from a naïve girl dreaming of love, to a woman who understands the importance of her own self worth.…

    Immediately highlighting the problem of sin separating us from God within the general Christian worldview. After this, a church member took place at the podium and read a passage from the bible. The chapter and verses were never clarified, and the story was hard to follow, but I believe it was the story of a mother trying to convince her son to give his life to the king. During the reading, the congregation had books from which they read out responses. When the reading was over, the gentleman sat down, and the reverend made his way across the room to the podium. He spoke of the story from the reading as one of the darkest times in ancient Jewish history, and likened it to what is happening with ISIS today. As he finished his sermon, we stood, and the reverend walked back to the altar area and sat down, and we were…

    For my field trip to another religion’s worship service, I chose to visit the Beth El Congregation Synagogue in Baltimore, Maryland. I have family members that are a part of the Jewish community, but I had never attended service with them until this experience. The Bel El Congregation is a progressive synagogue that is affiliated with United Synagogue. I arrived early to see if I could find someone to show me around so I felt more acquainted with the happenings around me. Lucky for me, there was a kind woman who acted as the synagogue’s receptionist for this particular Friday. She was nice enough to to give me a short tour as well as a little information on synagogues before the service started.…

    My earliest memories of a religious service was the first time we stepped foot into the new church. There was just something even at a young age didn’t seem quite right with me. I can remember the first time that I stepped foot into the sanctuary, I was fascinated that the boards in the sanctuary was in different colors. The pulpit was set up in such a way that even as a kid, I could tell that it was going to be extremely strict and uninviting.…

    Seen as a crucial and pivotal element in the process of deepening spiritual understanding, religious ritual plays a fundamental role in building both personal and cultural identity, an act that expresses and emphasises the things that bind a faith community together.

    In the ‘Anthropological Study of Religion’, the key point is to understand the history of religion. The reading illustrates the beliefs and theories of social scientists from the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, and now – the twenty-first century. It hovers around the questions of where religion came from and what is a part of religion, such as the culture, language and rituals. More importantly, it presents the question of “what religion is” and if it can be given a definite definition.…
