Our language was based on music and religion. We would sing about god, our saints, our virgin, and anything that was church related. When we would just get together and not rehearse we would usually talk about church and talk about the bible. Being in different communities makes you realize that almost any place you hang out in, everyone that is involved somehow makes the place where you hang out, a discourse community. The reason for this is because you may use a different language; eat different foods than you usually do when you are at some other place rather than the place you are at, at the moment.
Nesbit 1 Karen L Nesbit July 24, 2013 Comm L1 350 Mini-Ethnography Nesbit 2 Introduction My Mini- Ethnography focused on my experience visiting the Progressive Church of our Lord Jesus Christ, Inc. I focused on a Religion cultural, because I always have my own thoughts about different religion. I often wonder how people worship God, what is the atmosphere like, and would I want to be a part of this church. Level 1 Artifact and Behaviors I conducted a cultural study of my Church “The Progressive Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Inc.” The mission statement, I observed a message from the Overseer Bishop Edward Smith reads; an Apostolic Organization whose roots can be traced back to the day of Pentecost. The
Christianity and Judaism’s similarities and differences are made up of important factors such as the set of religions’ modern day practices, beliefs based off of their early origins, and their political roles and place of power in the ancient world. Christianity and Judaism both share many, little social factors that clearly distinguish their differences and similarities. A social factor that shows differences between the two religions would be their form of worship services. They vary, for example Christians attend churches on Sundays, were the mass is led by a priest who reads prayers from the Holy Bible. As for the Jews, their holy days are from Friday p.m. - Saturday p.m. were they attend a worship service at a synagogue, which is led by Rabbis as opposed to the Christian’s priest.
The piece I found was the Sacrifice of Isaac by Nicholas of Verdun. This piece was created and completed in 1181. When I found this piece it took me a while because it’s a lot harder to find information on artists that did such a work of art but to find information about them that interested me after finding someone who I found interesting was located on page 371. The sacrifice of Isaac was 5/1/2” high. After looking at this piece it automatically reminded me of my church with the different altarpieces in scriptures that are in my church.
St. Mary's Catholic Church gives me closeness to God that I can't seem to feel anywhere else. When I pray in my room I lack the presence of God. I feel like I am talking to myself. I've also visited other churches, but his presence is also absent. There's something about St. Mary's that just brings me home.
Eucharist is also known as the “body” of Christ. Roman Catholics also refer to this sacrament as Holy Communion. Receiving communion helps to spiritually and physically become connected to Jesus Christ. The Eucharist is administered at mass and should not be received without receiving forgiveness of your sins. If you are an active member of your Catholic faith you should receive communion at least once a year.
Therefore the symbol of the fish is commonly worked into Christian art#. Another thing often seen in terms of Christian architecture, though mainly seen in Coptic churches, is a large cross being cut into the ceiling of the church, which is meant to represent Noah’s ark which saved humanity, this particular use of symbolism, is meant that by attending these churches, people are becoming God’s chosen, the way Noah‘s family was selected by God to save humanity. Islamic art is notorious in way it avoids obvious realistic depictions of people, as they believe that it is a form of idolatry, and Gods, and unlike other religions, artists are not glorified for the art they
also there was the loyalty to the tsar from many people such as the elite, church, military, okhrana, his ministers, Witte and stolypin and this helped because Stoypin helped to divide up the Opposition so again the different groups with different ldea’s couldn’t organise their idea’s as they kept disagreeing on what was best for Russia. the church helped with the survival of tsarism because they were able to preach to the Russian people when they went to church any message that the tsar wanted them to hear for example that the tsar was helping them and that he was great for Russia so that they would not think bad things of the tsar and so the Russian people would not want him overthrown as the church had great influence over the Russian people. it was also majorly important that the military were loyal to the tsar because the tsar did not have his power without the military as any outbreaks against the tsar could be controlled and put down by the military so they were very crucial in the survival of
She asked if I would like to attend church with her and I took it as an opportunity to experience something that I would not normally do and I went with her. She was delighted as she has tried for years to get me to go to church with her when I visit. We pulled up to this church and let me tell you churches in New York on the outside look like they were built over a hundred years ago, and some of them probably were. When you walk in the church it looks nothing like it does on the outside. These churches are huge on the inside with very large ceilings and a massive congregation area where the services are held.
However, Christianity is a faith in faith, in an idea or ideal. The purely theological aspect of Christianity is one of the many differences between the two religions, and also one of the most important. There is no concept of national identity in Christianity the way there is in Judaism, nor does Christianity permeate everyday life quite in the same way Judaism does. The trappings and institutions of both religions are similar yet they differ as well. The Christian Churches and the Jewish Synagogues serve the same purpose.
