Sociological Religious Service

Calls of the Church to be the light of the world are through good examples and good deeds. Kindness is a simple way to make the world a brighter place which is something we learned in class this year. During all 10 years I have done this project, the one thing that always stays the same is that the families are so appreciative and happy to see how much we help and that smiles are always contagious. This organization is the perfect way to share our God-given gifts to help others which is what the Church calls for.

Galindo analyzes that the fundamental “mission” of a congregation is the same as any other congregation that exists in any part of the world. He argues that though every congregation has a mission and a vision, at the same time, it shares a basic common mission. (43) This reminds me of my home church The First Church of Evanston and my Field Site, The Evanston Vineyard Church. Both churches have a common mission of welcoming people to the church, irrespective of their ethnic, cultural, racial, and economic and, gender backgrounds. The mission is to help people be received in the house of God with due and deserved Christian love so that they feel loved and welcomed. Both these churches encourage church attendees to attend the service and receive the Eucharist.

In recent discussions of racism, one issue has been racial and religious profiling. On one hand some argue that these actions are necessary to protect the American people from both foreign and domestic threats. From this perspective, people of color are un-equal to everybody else and people such as Muslims are probably connected to groups such as the Islamic State. On the other hand, racial and religious profiling is considered completely immoral and wrong because it takes away liberties. This leads to a conflict between safety and liberty. My own view is that racial and religious profiling is immoral to an extent; however, I also believe that Americans should be protected. I believe that those targeted by police should match statistics of

For this paper I decided to sit down with my childhood friend from my St. Thomas More Catholic School days. Katarina and I have known each other since we were 5 years old. I remember attending church with her family on Sunday morning, spending the night at her house, occasionally attending her family's BBQ's on Easter Sunday, and inviting her to all my birthday parties at Chuck E Cheese. Though we lost touch after high school we found each other again thanks to social media. We are both from Hispanic Catholic families so it was always assumed that we would grow up to be Catholic too. To my surprise I found that on Katie's social media page under religious views it did not say Catholic as I expected but rather Wicca. Turns out Katie decided that the Catholic faith wasn't for her and opted instead to convert to Wicca.

My program of study is obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Sociology. In this course I will be taking the some of the following classes, Marriage and family, Intro to Probability and Statistics, Intro to Social work, Christian Worldview, etc. Intro to Probability and Statistics studies different variables of probability, and distribution. I believe I will like this class because I want to study the reasoning of people’s actions.

I interviewed my dear friend Ashley Johnson for my Religious Experience Project. She was a natural choice for me. I admire her genuineness and kindness, but what inspired me to interview her for my project was how seamlessly her religion is integrated into her life. She is a shining example of Christianity without ever being preachy. She has a passionate and intimate relationship with her God that inspires me. This is exemplified by her response to my question “How would you describe your relationship with God?” Here simple answer was: “Like a love story.” I know I have much to learn from her and understanding her religion and beliefs would be a good place to start.

Theologians and experts on religion often hear such calls for pragmatic, to do with business training in skills like church the government, marketing, and other parts of quality of being a chief as an attack on the system of beliefs forming a religion. in fact, influential evangelicals such as George Barna have supported the Church to the group, time of work from training and placing old and wise pastoral/teachers over congregations, in-kind act of giving in VisionaryCeo sorts. in harmony with to this story, account, about-beliefs acumen becomes a coming after first or chief thought at a best, beg the question about what happens when Christian leaders become better and better at saying less and less.

Data was collected on historical developments, such as laws passed, political developments, significant moral issues, family and demographic developments, as well as generational values. Further data was collected from governmental agencies that forecast potential future economic and demographic issues. Other research considered social areas that can be strengthened in order to influence future generations toward a more Christian Sociological framework.

The social landscape of the U.S. may naturally be an organic development. Society develops as areas of influence rise and fall over time. Frequently these areas of influence are internal, but at times they also are external. This is especially true as society becomes more aware of international developments and an economy becomes increasingly global, or a society engages activities not originally held as part of the original society. However, there are other parts of society that may hold deeper influence, such as religion, political activities, and family structures. These areas also influence each other, and in different ways depending on the society and time in history. In other words, society can be defined by those that are part of it.

In conclusion, the Christian Sociological framework does provide a baseline for understanding U.S. society today, and in the past. The Church, Family, and State each play a role in shaping society as set apart by God for their particular purposes. Generational differences also influence society as each generation focuses on their particular mass interests and agendas. The extent of this influence at times depends on their age and their population. This is especially true when one particular generation has more population and holds opposing values from another. The outcome of elections could be swayed because of the size of a generation.

The Lazarus Project and Grace Ministries: The Role of Religious Nonprofits in Addressing Personal and Social Problems

My analysis of the service was that it was not comparable to the typical Baptist style of worship service that I was familiar with at my church. I also notice that Holy Community Church was not on a schedule, as most

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.

For my last response paper, I decided that I wanted to attend a Jewish service. Since I had missed the pre arranged field trip to go with the school, I decided that I would grab a friend, and make a day out of driving up to Park City to go to the Temple Har Shalom. We set off on our forty minute drive, and finally came upon the Temple. The temple itself was very intriguing to the eye, it was a mix of brick and what looked like maple wood, the architecture was interesting and had a very modern feel to it. The inside was beautiful, and very spacious. There were chairs set up and tables, and fire places, of course there were Israeli flags hanging from different locations.

For my second analysis, I went to a church in my hometown of Paris, Texas called Freedom Church. This church is a new non-denominational church that is trying to reach to the “de-churched and unchurched” as their tag line says. They have only been operational now for less than a year, so they are still trying to get new people to join their church. For this reason, this past Friday they put on a huge Easter event for kids and adults that had games, dinner, and a worship service. I saw and experienced some aspects of what non-denominational believe or practice, but also noticed that they had some Baptist influence in their service. Though they did some things different, I found throughout the service there were some similarities to the Baptist church I attended. There were also many things that happened throughout the service that I noticed are things that we talked about in class that I found they were successful in accomplishing or they failed at.
