Sample Field Experience Papers
After giving a lot of thought into what field experience I have considered, I would like to do my field experience at the Kingdom Hall that’s located on Fairburn Road; Southwest Atlanta, GA. This will allow me to go out and understand what it is that Jehovah Witnesses religious practice. This allows me to be part of their Kingdom Hall Services, join study sessions that are held, go to Assemblies and Conventions, and participate in their field services that they require mostly on Saturday mornings. I choose this site because of my personal religion background. Growing up as a Christian, I was taught that being religious and being a Christian had two different meanings. Being religious somewhat and somehow grant you favor and acceptance from …show more content…
As a Christian my beliefs are very different from Jehovah Witnesses, as well as my experiences as a Christian. Many of the encounters that I have had with Jehovah Witnesses has been very emotional debates with close friends being Jehovah Witnesses, and it makes me feel offended about some of the things that they have tried to correct me on about my beliefs as a Christian.
Within the next few weeks I believe that this field placement will be great benefit to me. I will also have the benefit of contributing thoughts in a meaningful and vital way while I gain valuable knowledge of understanding of Jehovah Witnesses religion, as well as opening up to believe they are not arrogant and more superior than other religions like (Christians, Catholics, or Muslims etc…).
This will be a very uncomfortable situation for me, but I feel that it will also be a great experience to understand their religious as well as my own. I want to complete this field experience understanding more about multicultural religions and having a better understanding for not only just the religious for Jehovah Witnesses, but to be more open and understanding too other religious as

    I’ve been involved with a organization called Klothe-a-Kid since 7th grade. It’s main purpose is to provide supplies to those in need in rural parts of Kentucky. Through it, I’ve been fortunate enough to work organizing and passing out clothes, school supplies, food, and more to my surrounding neighborhoods and counties. Since Klothe-a-Kid is a Christian-based service, I’ve also been fortunate enough to introduce several new people to my faith while meeting them through the monthly events KAK holds. I believe the reason I consider Klothe-a-Kid to be one of my most significant involvements in my community is because of the scope of which I am allowed to work. I am able to schedule new events in concord with the founder of KAK, for places which…

    The person I choice to interview this week just like last week is also someone I turn to when I am faced with questions and concerns regarding all of my biblical classes and sometimes just personal spiritual questions. That person is my pastor and my father in law who has been a southern Baptist preacher for over thirty years. Of those thirty years he has only been pastor of two churches both, which have been very successful while he was and is presently the pastor. When we talk about anything and everything overall we have a great relationship. I choose to interview him this week because I knew he would be able to show me the more experienced side of his ministry because of his years of serving the lord.…

    Observe a religious practice or visit a place of religious worship or spiritual significance that is unfamiliar to you. For instance, you may visit a Buddhist or Hindu temple, a local shrine, or a Christian church. Some of the larger institutions (such as Singapore’s Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum) offer free tours, which would make for an easy point of entry. How is the space organized, what kinds of artifacts or images are displayed, and what kinds of routine practices do you observe? How do these elements reflect underlying beliefs and values?…
