Christian Memorial Service

The Eucharist or communion has been celebrated for over 2000 years in the church; however, the frequency of the practice varies greatly across churches. For example, the non-denominational church that I grew up in, celebrated communion every Sunday with consistency and the focal point of each service. (It was so routine I could quote what was going to be said.) Now, I am part of a church that celebrates communion once per month as a conclusion to the sermon. Another major difference between the two churches is who is welcome to participate in communion. For instance, my first church greatly expressed that only those who profess Christ could partake and must not receive communion in an unworthy. Evidently, the church’s view of Atonement (Penal Substitution) influenced a memorial view of communion. Also, the leader’s interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11:29 influenced this approach to communion. As our weekly reading pointed out, “Most who take the Memorial View do not have a place for grace in their theology beyond salvation” (Peterson 3). Therefore, during

Culture ties into every aspect of the human life, including death. There may be right and wrong ways to handle the death of someone, as well as time periods involved. There may also be set people that need to know over others in certain cultures or religions. It is important to not disrespect anyone’s family or even themselves when it comes to that time of life. For example, Buddhists believe that after taking one’s last breath, the body should

As a result of many deaths traditions tend to get lost in the bad times of these deaths. A lot of cultural knowledge is lost since most adults and elders are leaving the world. Some traditions like making a proper funeral is important since they strongly believed in that sort of stuff. In most of the American Indian cultures, healing was a part of their religious ceremonies. When they failed to cure the European diseases there was a lot of faith in the traditional Indian spiritual ways was lost. Lots of Native Americans started to lose faith in what they believed in their whole life. Some Indians began to rethink and they said it must be the power of their religion that saved most of them.

I am the minority of the usual church; typically I am one of four white people who attend the 8am service. I first went with a friend’s family after she had pass away. I was never nervous about going to a predominantly African American church. Everyone welcomed me. The family I went with had me stand up when they called for new people to the church. It then took me 30 extra minutes to get out of the church because everyone gave me a hug. Going into part two of this project I was actually very nervous about going to the Korean church. I think being by myself had a lot to do with it along with not know the language. I was very nervous about not understanding anything that was going on. Additionally I was worried they would not want me there.

You never know when something might happen. An ordinary day can turn into a tragedy. November 8, 2016, was that kind of day. My dad was deer hunting so that afternoon it was just me and my mom.I was getting ready for gymnastics practice when my mom got a call. The caller ID read “Community Memorial”. I could hear the fear in my mom's voice as she picked up the phone. “H-hello?” she said. I waited nervously as my mom spoke to the hospital. Five minutes later she hung up the phone. “Your dad fell 13 feet out of his tree stand while he was hunting. He called 9-1-1 and is at Community Memorial right now” my mom said. At that point I didn’t know how serious the injuries were. “Is he ok?” I asked.

Plenty of people decided to break their traditions, and by doing this, they are bringing shame to their family and culture. They break their traditions because they don’t know their traditions, they don’t how to practice their tradition and they do not know how beautiful is to know the stories of our ancestors where a lot of good stories of our family lives and we should keep those good stories with our family and always remember our ancestors with a good

Different parts of the world contain their own traditions. Not only do different regions have their own unique traditions, but also neighbors in a subdivision might not believe in

When we ask “How important is religion in your community? Why?” Sophia answered it is important either Christian or atheist. In summary, Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism are the main religions in Korean community. (http://www.korea.net/AboutKorea/Korean-Life/Religion)

With any ethnic culture and especially mine there’s a sense of pride and superiority over other cultures and countries. If you have ever seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, it is a perfect representation of how Greeks think they are superior to others. For example, when the grandfather comments to the Asian man in the steam room that the Greeks invented everything even if the things he said sounded ridiculous. Nevertheless, Greeks hold a high traditional of being Greek Orthodox where it tracks its way back to the first Church of Eastern Europe. With every Celebration in my culture it encompasses a religious aspect to it such as the celebration of a person’s name day. A child is given a baptismal name during the baptism that the parents choose and that name correlates to their name day. For example, Christos this name means and represents Christ therefore the celebration is on Christmas. This created a religious transformation for me where now if I am walking down the street and I see a man or homeless man on the corner begging for money I will pull my wallet out and give him as much as I can. I believe that I am practicing the act of discipleship from the influence of my culture even with the nationalistic

Christian Memorial is the largest for-profit hospital in the district with 930-beds. It has a state- of- the- art emergency department (ED). Many fine physicians are aligned with the hospital to provide primary care. It has received many awards for its nursing department and the quality care it provides to their patients. Despite its beautiful building, fine doctors, and talented nurses, the hospital has quite the reputation of being very costly. The costs of some services at the hospital are so high that some patients travel 5-10 miles out of the way to other hospitals for certain services. At Christian Memorial, procedures costs an average of 15-20 percent above what other area hospitals charge for the same procedures. To the community’s

How are the customary funeral and mourning rituals of Judaism, Protestant Christianity, Roman Catholicism, and Islam similar and different? Judaism and Islam have similar funeral practices. Both Islam and Judaism appoint the responsibilities of the burial of the deceased within their communities. Both traditions require the dead be buried as promptly as possible. It is for the body to be buried on the same day of the death. Islam and Judaism forbid embalming and routine autopsies as desecration of the dead. However, both religions consider organ donation as permissible. Muslims are strictly forbidden from the process of cremation, while Jewish rules on cremation can vary depending on the denomination. Conservative Jews oppose cremation while the process has become an increasingly more popular and acceptable practice among Reform Jews.

I am truly and deeply sorry and I would like to apologize to excessively talking during the memorial mass for Sister Helen Marie. I was 100% wrong in this situation and I accept full responsibility for everything I said. I also accept the consequence that was given to me. I now realize that what I did could have waited until the end of mass or once we exited the building. I am very sorry and I hope you understand that I did not mean to be disrespectful at the time. This will never happen again and I will be more respectful and tolerant at mass. Again, I’m very truly sorry and would like to move forward from this whole situation and start with a fresh plate and not have the negative reputation that you may or may not have of me. This whole situation

The actually had two chapel services that were my favorite the first was the chapel service where Ryan Nunez spoke and the second was the chapel service where Deb Wade spoke. When Ryan spoke it was a surprise to hear that guilt was an unexpected gift that God have us. Also, having Deb who is a psychologist speak to us was entirely amazing as I am fascinated with psychology.

The services given to the dead in the Muslim culture are unique. There is no wake or viewing of the body in the Islamic tradition. The funeral service is actually a prayer service offered to present petitions to God asking for the forgiveness of the sins of the deceased. Even Muslims who are not close with the deceased or the family can participate in this ritual. Wailing loudly or screaming is forbidden for it is considered undignified (“Islam: Periods of Mourning,” 2017).
