Transformation Tuesday is every Tuesday in the student union at 8 it is a religious event for christians. At this event you will become stronger in your faith without knowing it, this is because they put together christian games. The purpose of these games can be who says the strongest prayer, or who knows the bible verse and so forth. My first time attending this event was on halloween this event made me feel at home not only because of the welcoming faces but, also because I am use to going to church on halloween. When you walked in they were very welcoming and open to see new faces this event is hosted by the people of different surrounding churches. They had games, fellowship, a little worship service, food, and prayer time. This

    The Wars of Religion in the 17th and 18th centuries were some of the bloodiest conflicts of all of European history before the World Wars. They spanned the entire continent, involved nearly every member of society, and resulted in the deaths of millions. Reactions to these wars varied– some were in favour, some were opposed. However, despite the fact that people’s reactions deviated wildly, the evidence shows that many rulers had a similar attitude towards the Wars of Religion, and manipulated them for the benefit of themselves or their country.…

    Christian Worldview Integration is essential to one’s life in general and therefore, this Christian Worldview is important to life coaching. But, it is with caution that a coach introduces the Christian aspect into the coaching sessions. Life Coaching is about the client and their needs, not, the coach’s personal beliefs, but, as a Christian it is necessary if possible to consider the client’s whole life, including their religious belief system. Society, culture, belief system and religion itself is each an obstacle or barrier if the client is not a Christian. There are also times when a coach will be confronted with a Christian, that is losing faith or question their faith, this is also a difficult situation. It is important to develop a…

    While the first amendment calls for separation of church and state religion is ingrained in American culture; from its earliest beginnings to modern day religion has been used as a tool for persuasion. One of the best uses of religion for persuasion was “ A discourse concerning unlimited submission and non-resistance to the higher powers with some reflections made on the resistant made to King Charles I and the anniversary of his death” a sermon by John Mayhew which used religion as a tool to sow the seeds of American…

    To begin, I was nervous about attending a service for a faith to which I did not belong and which was not even part of my heritage. Previously when I had attended Baptist worship, I had gone along or with a member of my family, who belonged to the church. I wasn’t sure how people of a different religion would react to having someone who was not of their faith visiting their place of worship. However, as soon as we walked into the synagogue, the people there were very friendly and not at all unused to having visitors. There was a collection of pamphlets set out for anyone unfamiliar with the Jewish religion and with Sabbath services and there were nametags for us to wear. The people were very friendly, asking us if we would like to know anything more about the synagogue. There were people standing in small groups too talking and catching up with the happenings of the week before.…

    Buddhism is one of the most popular religions in the world. It can be traced back to 563 B.C.E. with the birth of Siddhartha Gautama. He is more commonly known as the Buddha, meaning the “Awakened One”. Buddhism spread quickly throughout Asia and other regions of the world but it remained virtually unknown in the West until the last fifty years. The teachings and practices of Buddhism were spread through three main channels: “Western scholars; the work of philosophers, writers and artists; and the arrival of Asian immigrants who have brought various forms of Buddhism with them to Europe, North America and Australia” (BuddhaNet.net, 2008). My mother, Nguyen Thi Lien Kirk (Lien), and her two close friends, Nhu Lan Nguyen (Lan) and Cuc Pigeon (Cuc), are three examples of immigrants from Vietnam who brought the ideals of Buddhism to the United States following the Vietnam War.…

I will discuss any misconceptions I may have had and how they have changed. Also, I will try to figure out a way to minimize misconceptions.…

    The Primary section of the service consisted or an Opening song, Greetings and Announcements, an Opening Prayer, Gospel, another Prayer, and Communion. The whole process took about an hour and a half. During the Opening song the atmosphere felt tense, everyone was very serious and it was easy to see the dedication in the crowd. It made me feel very excluded because my faith is not the same. During the greetings and announcements the tension broke and it felt more inviting while the Priest explained things that were happening in the church over the next week. The greetings were followed by an opening prayer, and then a reading from the Gospel. The same atmosphere of tension and focus returned. It seemed as though everyone other than me was possessed by the words of the priest. At this point two individuals in white robes with lit candles and baskets on polls began Collection for charity and the church. Growing up I went to a very small Baptist church where we just passed around a small basket for collections, so this process seems very overdramatic to me. After collections they started Communion where we had the option of being blessed by the priest, drinking the juice representing Christ’s blood, and eating the wafer representing Christ’s body. I would have guessed from the previous atmosphere that everyone would want to be part of this but only a handful of people participated. Mostly Parents with young children.…

    It was my favorite activity because it was a celebration for the homeless. It gave them hope and essentials before they had to endure the cold winter. A group of us were able to pass out clothing, bedding, and toys to those who waited. I also helped serve holiday meals to people, which included turkey, macaroni, and pumpkin pie. It was rewarding to see everyone eating nice meals while a band played holiday music in the background. For a moment, everyone could forget their situations and enjoy the presence of others. At times, it was overwhelming because we were helping hundreds of people, but in the end I enjoyed it all. I learned the most from this event because I saw parents that were trying to provide for their infants and people who had homes but could not pay for their basic utilities, all desperately waiting in line to receive clothing and bedding. This gave me a new definition of what homeless means.…

    The topic of this Religious Education School Based Assessment is the major festivals in Christianity. Holidays, feasts and fasts are a significant part of Christian religious practice. The feast days celebrate joyous historical events, such as the birth and resurrection of Christ, while the fast days provide a special opportunity to focus on self-reflection, self-discipline, and repentance. Festivals are a part of the natural human desire to celebrate, and so the traditional Christian festivals retain their hold upon our national consciousness, even in families where there is no Christian faith. Part of the task of RE, therefore, is to help pupils distinguish between the Christian heart of a festival and the secular additions (some of them very ancient) which now adhere to it. I hope that the information given in this project will help and educate all those who come in contact with it.…

    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.…
