The service involved a variety of people, ranging in age. Those who preside over mass wore white robes. The pastor had, along with his white robe, had a yellow sash. As you enter the church, ushers hand out bulletins and help you find an empty row of seats for your group. As the service beginnings, a group of young boys walked candles and incense up to the altar, and were also a part of the choir. There was also communion, where the people went up to the pastor and were given a wafer and sip of wine. Throughout mass, the pastor led the audience in songs, which were accompanied by the choir, consisting of both young adults and adults. I noticed that most of the audience did not need to use the song sheets, but knew the words by heart. Along with singing, the pastor read sections from the Bible and led prayers. Also, he brought attention to some of the events and articles in the bulletin. There was series of baptisms, in which the parents carried their child up to the pastor as he said a prayer and dipped their faces into water. There was also an altar server who helped the pastor in the baptism and the overall service. Near the end of mass, a donation basket was sent around for people to place donations to the church.
Overall, the service lasted about an hour and a half, and was interesting to observe. Because I was with a family member who knew the procedure of the service and participated in it, I did not feel too much as an outsider, even though I did not actively participate in service procedures such as the prayers and sing

I am writing you today as a concerned member of your congregation. Recently, I found myself on the doorstep of an old, breath-takingly beautiful cathedral, but I stumbled in only to realize that I, a devout Lutheran, am not allowed to receive communion. My lack of knowledge on the Eucharist and the guidelines the Catholic church has placed on this sacrament lead to a response of hostility and hurt on this particular guideline. I am writing to tell you that my response of hostility and hurt was wrong, and dangerous for me and my faith. To come to this conclusion, you must first understand the history behind Catholic communion, the Catholic view on transubstantiation, acceptance in relation to the Eucharist, the…

Church attendance was mandatory. Those that missed church regularly were subject to a fine. The sermon became a means of addressing town problems or concerns. The church was sometimes patrolled by a man who held a long pole. On one end was a collection of feathers to tickle the chins of old men who fell asleep. On the other end was a hard wooden knob to alert children who giggled or slept. They were very serious about their religion…

This morning I attended a weekday mass at All Saints Catholic Church. The church itself is relatively large from what I saw. The exterior had many well-tended trees and bushes, with a sign pointing to the office, and a cross about six feet tall out front by a cement walkway which led to the entrance. The building itself was a taupe color with dark brown roofing and glass doors leading at the entrance. As I walked through the glass doors I was not greeted by anyone, so I followed what everyone else was doing. I noticed a holy water font in front of the doors leading directly to the room of worship. I watched as the casually-dressed Parishioners, all aged at least sixty-five years, and mostly white, middle-class women dipped their fingers into the font and then made the sign of the cross, before entering the worship area.…

As I was born and raised in a Buddhist family, I have always followed and practiced the doctrines and beliefs of Buddhism. Buddhism has become one of the most dominant parts in my life which guides me to a fulfilled spiritual life and proper attitudes towards other beings. Nevertheless, throughout the course about world religions that I am taking, I have decided to experience some festivals and rituals in other religions as the way to get exposed to the cultural diversity of the world. Hence, for my religious service review, I have chosen to study Christianity - one of the most influential and widespread religions. Since I have a friend who is working as social volunteer in Holy Family Catholic Church (1957 Coolidge Street, San Diego, CA 92111), I decided to obtain my realistic approach to Christianity by going to a regular Sunday mass and joining in some youth activities on 11/22/09 to have a deeper and objective comprehension of Christianity.…

Ignoring the uncomfortable feeling that I had attending the meeting, the congregation was very friendly and very welcoming. In fact, I felt more accepted than I did visiting any Christian church in Marion. Christians are welcoming but at Kingdom Hall there was no awkward alone time, almost every person in the congregation welcomed me and introduced himself or herself. The bible study started by singing a hymn and then they continued studying the book of Jeremiah from their previous meetings. Meetings usually take place on Thursday night and Sunday Mornings. The bible study consisted of a volunteer reading from a Watch Tower Society publication. Then the elder proceeded to ask questions about the reading and volunteers from the congregation would answer. Something that stood out to me was that they refer to each other as brother and sister. This is uncommon in protestant congregations.…

My cultural immersion focus is on the religious war in Nigeria. One of the interesting things I found in my research was that, in Nigeria the Christian faith and the Muslim faith represents the greatest percentage of religions. I also learned that the Christians and Muslims pray every day several times a day. With that being said, I wondered if they believed in a higher entity prayed every day, who they are praying to? And what is their belief system based on? (question 1) Since their Christian faith seems to be divided into Catholic, Protestant or some other, I decided to attend a typical Catholic Church service and a Friday mid-day Muslim prayer service. Maybe I should not have used the word typical to describe a Catholic Church service. Me, being from a culturally full Baptist background, it was anything but typical. First let me begin by saying, St Joseph Catholic Church is Macon Georgia, is one beautiful church on the inside, but the service its self was extremely long and somewhat boring. Coming from a Baptist background, I definitely had a culture shock. To get the feel of the church, I arrived very early. Because I was a visitor, they welcomed me, I filled out a visitor’s info card and I was lead to a seat. The choir is singing as I’m being lead to a seat, so I’m assuming this is the Praise & Worship part of the order of service. Again I say, “Coming from a Baptist background in an African American church, our Praise & Worship time is much different. After the song, the priest came out with the opening prayer with repeated verses. The priest would say the verse first and then instantly, the congregation would repeat the verse. I think they refer to this part of the service as the Kyrie. Then another priest said another pray and began to tell somewhat of a story. I didn’t quite get it, but it looked as if the rest of the congregation received it well. After the story telling, we hugged everybody around us…

For my observation, I went to a usual Catholic Mass at a parish local to me. I analyzed the texts being used, the words being spoken, and the level of involvement of every member present. I focused on the responses of those in attendance during prayer and the homily, a scripturally-based reflection not consisting of doctrinal instruction, spoken by the priest. Additionally, I attended Eucharistic Adoration, a ritual where one sits in front of the consecrated bread, which is believed to be the true presence of Christ, contemplating the Mystery of Christ. I observed the people who entered and left and if the read Catholic literature or wrote.…

According to the people at the service, the Thursday service usually takes from forty-five minutes to one hour. They start singing the prayers in the book called “Nashira Shabbat”, which goes in reverse way since the Hebrew is read from right to left and is composed of prayers from Psalms, and then talk about the Torah that they start reading from the beginning every year and finish reading and discussing by the end of the year. But the day I went to was special since the rabbi…

Controversy exists on the question of whether a juvenile criminal should be punished as an adult. The topic is significant because, juveniles are committing violent and vicious crimes everyday. These juveniles are being charged as minors even when they commit crimes such as murder and rape. The question is why are they getting off so easily. Does dysfunction in their homes influence them? Do their peers cause them to commit these crimes? How does the media affect their behavior? I chose to use several research methods to answer my questions. I used several books and articles on juvenile delinquency and a variety or child development books. Those who commit capital crimes, including adolescents should be penalized, according to the law. Age should not be a factor in the case of serious crimes. Many people claim that they did not know, or that he was brought up with the conception that this behavior is acceptable. Juveniles who commit harsh and dangerous crimes should be treated as adults for committing adult crimes (Demaris, 1970). How would you feel if one of your family members was brutally murdered by an adolescent? A juvenile crime does not only affect the individual who committed the crime, it also affects the individual who was the victim of the crime. Juveniles should be held no less accountable than adults and treating them as such may also help to deter crimes. We are told that kids murder, mug, and steal because they grew up in poverty (Palmer, 1972). There are factors that contribute to juveniles committing these crimes: their families, the media and their peers.…

After going to the Church I relaxed a tad because I saw how casual the setting was and how family like the members where with each other.
