The Religious Beliefs Of Other Faiths

Today, I went on a guided tour of the Lloyd Street Synagogue. This synagogue was the first synagogue built in Maryland by the Hebrews in 1845. It is also, the third-oldest synagogue remaining in the country. The Greek Revival style building was designed by architect Robert Cray Long, Jr. In 1861, due the Synagogue had to be expanded by architect William H. Resin due to the growing number of members needing additional space. The original interior and exterior décor was not affected. The building is pink in color. The outside did not have any visible Jewish symbols so the building did not appear as a Jewish structure and was less distinctive. The star of David, the ten commandments, nor Hebrew saying adorned the exterior of the building as it does today.

The exchange of religion and ideas has been a common theme within the works that have been read. Many of the religious people studied mix their existing views of the world, which are often described as traditional “African” beliefs, with a mixture of the cosmology of Christianity, Islam, and other popularized, organized religion originating from across the world. Cosmological views held by different groups of people tend to vary, clash and change the way people go about their daily life.

Do you belong to any religion and adhere to the practices of the religion? People need to ask themselves whether they belong to any religion and whether they adhere to the practices of the particular religion in order to establish their spiritual ascription. There exist different religions in the world that follow different religious practices and beliefs. The difference occurs in the sense that what might appear to be correct or right in one religion might actually be wrong in another religion. Some of the major religions in the world include Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Jewish, and Judaism among other religions. Each member of these religions follows what the religion requires and people in each religion have a

I was consciously aware to keep an open mind while studying other religions. When answering question three, I stated I could study other religions without threatening my faith. Through my experiences in this course I have a greater confidence that I can study other religions and use that information to expand upon my own beliefs.

When first pulling up to this synagogue, I was surprised by the shape of the building. It had a circular shape design to the building with beautiful brick on the side. I am Catholic and attend my Catholic church every weekend, so seeing a building which such different structure made me realize how different some religions are. My church looks like an average church someone would picture and

In nursing, it is very important to take into account the diverse faith traditions. People are accustomed to their cultural values and traditions that must be respected and are keys of support for the depressed, ill individual. People’s faith traditions are as vital as blood transfusion could be for an anemic person with Hemoglobin of 7 g/dL or less. Our discussion this meeting focuses on describing the role of the Faith Community Nursing (FCN)/ Health Minister in healing and wholeness which is competency 6 for this elective course. We discussed the distinct types of roles that we can encounter as health ministers. Those roles include but are not limited to educators, advocates, comforter, companion, resource, and referral agents. FCN are

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are three of the world’s largest religions. The source of many earthly conflicts are because of these three sects of beliefs. While many people believe that Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are night and day different, they do have very distinct similarities that are not necessarily apparent at first. Islam has been shed in a rather unflattering light through radical organizations like ISIS and Al Qaeda, but it too is a religion of peace and faith. All three come from the Middle East, recognize similar prophets, and believe in love, and compassion to others. While Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions that sprung from the same hearth, and have a few shared common core beliefs, all three share drastic differences when it comes to the prophecy and divinity.

Similar to the way in which people can choose from a wide assortment of religions, there are also many ways of viewing religion. One of these view points is existentialism, which states that where there is faith, not matter what in, a person has a right to make there own chooses. Many believe that this individual freedom then leads to risk in faith and often times doubt that cannot ever be separated from faith. It would be like having a huge tangled ball of two different colored string, However, you only want one of the colors, so you work relentlessly to untangle this massive ball. Yet when you have finally finished, you realized that there never were two different stings. There is only one string that is both colors. It is the same with faith and doubt, no matter how hard you work to remove doubt from faith they will still be the same piece of string. In his work “Saint Manuel Bueno, Martyr,” existentialist writer Unamuno discusses this entanglement of faith and doubt. While it is important to recognize that faith can not exist without doubt, I believe it is more interesting to analyze if doubt can exist without faith.

Talal Asad published Anthropological Conceptions of Religion: Reflections on Geertz in 1983. The article focuses on redefining Geertz concept of religion. More importantly, Asad explores the importance of power in religion. Talal's views were simple, Geertz formula was too simple to accommodate different cultures. With this in mind, Zande divination is a notion that explains unfortunate events. The concept of witchcraft supplies the missing link and inexplicable situations lead to rituals, revenge, and oracles. According to Asad (1983: 243), "It was not the mind that moved spontaneously to religious truth, but power that imposed the conditions for experiencing that truth." Agreeing with this, Zande does not profess to understand witchcraft,

Religion is known as having a deep relationship with a supreme being or thing. Also, to believe in them with the extent of worship and to follow their practices. A few of the main religions over time have been Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. These three religions consist of ideas and practices that may be very different, but are made up of the same general idea expressed in a new form. Although their main differences, each religion seeks one thing, and that 's an afterlife.

There are three mainstream faiths in the Middle East, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. We will be going deeper into each of these subjects of religion to compare and contrast views and beliefs. With each religion we expand on we understand and connect with the Middle Eastern country’s culture, past, present, and future. Even though not all may be right, I will provide an unbiased measure of each faith’s facts and opinions.

I attended as a religious service the Shabbat at East Midwood Jewish center on Friday, December 9th, at 7pm. From the outside, the synagogue looked like any other building. I noticed it was very large and wide from the outside. The only sign I got from the outside is the star of David along with Hebrew writing stating the name of the synagogue. There were many names Inside the synagogue, and I felt as if it doesn 't look much different from a church. There were chairs to sit in, and a dais at the front similar to a church. There was a platform, which is learned called a "bimah" at the near the center, from which the Torah is read, or lessons taught. I noticed on the wall is the Ark of the Covenant. In the Ark of the convent, the Torah scrolls are kept, along with the other scrolls such as the books of Esther and Ruth. Above the Ark is the "ner tamid" an eternal light that is always lit. The room was very open, and even felt a bit empty. The synagogue I attended used movable partitions so that the room can be used for many purposes by people, and also so that large groups of worshippers can be accomodated at times such as the High Holy Days. I noticed there was no statuary like the Catholic Church has, meaning no saints. There was rather abstract artwork. Walking in, I received quite a few stares. This was off putting at first, but when you see someone new, you also stare. I didn 't feel as if they meant harm or even mean to be rude. I felt some of them were wondering who I

On July 15, 2016, I attended Clarkston’s local Masjid. At the beginning the thought of going to another sect would be quite frightening, for I believed I would not be welcomed into their holy place. Although, I was completely fallacious because, it turned out to be the complete opposite. The Muslims there were glad to have someone interested on their ways of life and how they lived their religious life, and truthfully I was so absorbed by their religion that I was nearing the acceptance of converting. So, now I have knowledge of my own religion (Christianity), knowledge of Islam, and still have preconceptions that I couldn’t get answered while on my trip.

Eastern and Western religions have significant differences in regard to their views of the divine, their beliefs in what happens after death, and the way they worship.

Have you ever experienced being isolated by people, or isolating others? Maybe discrimination also occurs around you. Discrimination can occur in many ways due to different opinions and perspectives. Discrimination may occur in a small group between two or three friends, or even in huge groups such as religious groups, or even countries. There is discrimination everywhere at anytime, anywhere in the world. One of them occurs to religion of different people. Religious discrimination is to treat someone differently compared to others in a negative way due to their religion or beliefs.There are plenty of religious discrimination around the world. People should be against religious discrimination because it keeps people from harassment on their religious beliefs, avoids wars happening, and people will correct their stereotypes on others.
