Religious Site Visit Assignment The purpose of this assignment is to enable you to visit a new and unfamiliar religious-cultural setting and to learn in an experiential way about the beliefs and rituals of another tradition. You may choose among many houses of worship: Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. Attending a Christian service or the service of the particular religious tradition in which you were raised is prohibited (this means you should not visit any Christian denomination nor a place of worship you are familiar with; the purpose of this assignment is to step outside the box and learn about another tradition). Write a 3-4 page paper, double-spaced, 12 point font, which includes the following information: · The place, time, date, and a physical description of the place. · Description of the ritual you experience: words, actions, people, symbols, songs, etc. · What are the demographics? Who make up the congregation? · Describe any relevant encounters you had with the worshippers. How were you treated? · What are the similarities and differences between this experience and what you experienced growing up? · Reflect on your experience as an onlooker? What did you learn? What surprised you? What questions are you left with? · Elaborate on any other aspect of the experience that left an impression on you. **Please turn in a bulletin or similar document as proof of attendance (scan/email with your paper, or take a picture with your phone and text/email it to me)** **Final due date is November 18 , but you are encouraged to complete the visit and paper at any time during the course (prior to the due date of course)** **Please see a list of possible sites below. This is not a comprehensive list. You may visit any house of worship within the parameters of the assignment.

Religion Site Visit
Assignment
Attend a religious service or ritual from a spiritual tradition that is significantly
different from your own personal experience of religion.In other words, if you are Catholic, find a Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or perhaps Pentecostal Christian service. If you have no religious affiliation, choose any one you would like.
Take notes on your experience based on the criteria below and write a 3 page
reflection on the experience (12 pt. Times Roman font with 1 inch margins).
Your primary objective is to look for ways that religion is expressed and enacted
through language and symbols.
Here is a guide for your observations and writing:
1. Describe
• Look carefully at the setting where the ritual is taking place. Notice details.
What clues about the religion or ritual are given
by the setting (location, architecture, art,
arrangement, decoration, etc)?
• What are the key symbols and actions that are used in the service itself (including
what people do and say)?
• What is the overall “feel” of the service?
• Summarize some of the key “meanings” that you observe.
2. Understand
• Research and summarize the central beliefs of the religion. Where did you
see these beliefs reflected in the service you
attended?
• In what ways is the religious service linked to a particular culture? What
connections did you see between the symbols and actions used and everyday life?
• What purposes do you think the service served (affirm beliefs,
moral encouragement, build a sense of community or belonging with others, etc.).
• What aspects of the service were most unfamiliar to you? Research one of these
and describe why it is important for the religion.

Religious Landscape Project
This document summarizes the religious diversity found in the Trolley Square area of Salt Lake City, Utah. It profiles 4 religious communities: First United Methodist Church (Christian, founded 1906, approx. 12,000 members), Utah Freethought Society (humanist/atheist, founded 2010, <100 members), Saint Paul's Episcopal Church (Catholic, founded 1881, 500+ members), and SLC Central Seventh-day Adventist Church (evangelical, founded 1975). It also compares the religious diversity of Utah, which is dominated by Mormons, to the overall more diverse religious landscape of the United States. In conclusion, diversity in the selected area of Salt Lake City remains higher in Christian faiths than Utah
Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully an.docx
Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully and then ask me in class to explain anything that isn't clear. You can also email me with questions.
At the end there is a short list of possible sites for the ethnography: Sikh, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist. Shumei. There are other religions and many other sites. Bahai is an interesting religion but you have to be invited to attend by a member.
Mormon the same.
If you have access to a Santeria or similar ceremony, great!
To make the project worthwhile choose a site as different from your own background as you can.
If you have a Christian or Catholic background do not do your paper on any kind of Christian or Catholic service.
You are welcome to attend a non-English language service as long as you understand the language being used.
Be sure to okay your choice with me. Some places that don’t work for this project are Scientology, the Self Realization Fellowship, the Kabbalah Center, SGI Buddhist, Hare Krishna.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Attend a religious activity that you’re curious about and would like to explore.
You must attend a service, not simply visit a religious site.
Examples: a mosque, temple, synagogue, gurdwara.
You can probably find an interesting place of worship near where you live or work.
It’s always a good idea to phone or email the place of worship before you attend.
Research methods must include participant/observation and informal conversation. One slightly more formal interview is desirable.
Be absolutely sure to allow time to stay after the service for food, lunch, other refreshment, or informal gathering. This may well be the most important part of your experience and will enable you to answer the question, “What meaning does this place and this service have for the participants?
You must go some place you’ve never been to before. Do NOT choose your own tradition or somewhere you’re even a bit familiar with. Choose somewhere entirely new and different.
The important thing is to come to the service as an outsider, with the eyes and ears of an anthropologist and take note of everything. Use the skills you’ve learned in this class.
You can attend alone or with a co-researcher or two from the class. Best, you can be the guest(s) of a classmate or someone else you know and discuss the event with them. Invite a classmate or two to attend a service from your tradition.
Do not write about an event you attended in the past. But you can use past experiences for comparison and reflection.
It is almost never appropriate to jot down notes during a religious service. Better, write everything you remember immediately after the event. Get sufficient detail to write what anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick”, or rich description.
In writing your paper use terms we've discussed in class and think about connections to the reading we’ve done and films we’ve seen.

Paper Prompt
This is to be a 4 to 5 page paper, analyzing your experience at a religious service or house of worship in any given faith. I ask you to choose, for your first assignment, a religious tradition that you are unfamiliar with – one that is not your own. For one of the subsequent assignments, you may choose your own faith to assess. I have provided the names of several local organizations or houses of worship which might be useful to choose from. I will also arrange for several field trips if you would like to do this fieldwork in a group setting.
Please make arrangements with someone at that particular house of worship, letting them know in advance that you are going to attend. There may be certain dress codes or points of behavior etiquette that you should follow. Ask them about this. Let them know that you are doing this for a college class. You may let them know my name if you’d like. If a ceremony or service is available to you, try to attend one of those. It is important to witness the rituals and services of different faiths, to get a good sense of everyday worship. If these are inaccessible to non-members or if you are unable to make arrangements to visit during a ceremony, then simply make an appointment to speak directly to someone in the congregation – perhaps one of the clergy or leadership – who would be willing to give you a tour of the house of worship and speak with you in person about their faith.
When you attend, remember that you are an emissary, a representative, from LMU. Be a suitable representative that will make a good impression. Do not judge. Remember that all people of all religions have suffered persecution at some point. We share that heritage. Give them the opportunity to teach you something about themselves without being condescending toward them.
When you are at the house of worship, remain as silent as you can while the service is going on, so as not to disturb any of the ceremonies. Observe without judgment. After the service, ask questions of the people who have been your hosts or guides, but ask politely and respectfully. It is important to ask questions, so that misunderstandings do not persist. If you talk about your own faith at all with your hosts, please do not do so in an adversarial manner, preaching at them. Merely share your perspectives briefly, for comparison, and do so non-confrontationally.
In your paper, give a brief summary of the experience, including the date, time, location, and any other details, such as the particular religion or sect, the type of service you attended, and perhaps the title and name of the person presiding over the service or acting as your guide. Then address certain things such as your understanding of the relationship between the religious leaders and the congregation. Focus on the way people address the deity (if applicable) and what their perceived relationship is with that deity. Focus on the use of space in the house of wor.

Swk1046 introduction to faith and community
This document discusses several key topics related to religion and faith:
- It defines and compares concepts like belief, spirituality, religion and faith. It notes that religion involves group experiences through shared symbols, rituals and narratives.
- It provides brief overviews of several major world religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, touching on their origins, core beliefs and sacred texts.
- It acknowledges that religious beliefs are declining in some societies and more people are becoming non-religious or non-affiliated with organized faiths.
- It raises challenges and possibilities related to religion, noting views that religious rituals foster cooperation, that communities provide "moral exoskeletons," and that
Geographies of Religion Sacred SpacePlacesacred + sp.docx
Geographies of Religion: Sacred Space/Place
sacred + space + place
•Most often, sacred space is used to speak in
general and abstract terms; sacred place is
used to speak about specific sacred locations
•Sacred = From Latin sacere which means
sacred or holy, but there are no other roots.
Émile Durkheim (French Sociologist, 1858-1917)
•First to use sacred space/place in a systematic
way: Elementary Forms of Religious Life
• What is the sacred? What is religion?
• An attempt at explaining the mysteries of
the universe?
• An attempt to account for a creative,
dominant divinity?
• The definition of religion must account for
every single instance through out history.
The Sacred and the Profane
Durkheim’s definition of religion:
“a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred
things, that is to say, things set apart and surrounded by
prohibitions—beliefs and practices that unite its adherents in a
single moral community . . .”
Durkheim: Religion is a community worshipping itself.
The sacred and the profane are ways of ordering the
community and its relation to the world.
What is Sacred Space/Place
for Durkheim?
1.It is radically set apart from normal,
everyday space/place
2.It is not individual
3.It is a socially unifying location
4.It contributes to communal
“effervescence”
Effervescence
“Within a crowd moved by a common
passion, we become susceptible to feelings
and actions of which we are incapable on
our own. And when the crowd is dissolved,
when we find ourselves alone again and fall
back to our usual level, we can then measure
how far we were raised above ourselves. . . .”
Effervescence
“Once the individuals are assembled, their
proximity generates a kind of electricity
that quickly transports them to an
extraordinary degree of exaltation. Every
emotion expressed is retained without
resistance in all those minds so open to
external impressions, each one echoing
the others. The initial impulse becomes
amplified as it reverberates, like an
avalanche gathering force as it goes. . .”
Can there be modern sacred
spaces/places?

Contact follow up & cultivation - v2.1

Iceberg insights-Visitation: The Hidden Ministry
Visitation is a low visibility, but HIGH IMPACT part of ministry. And the best news is that it isn't limited to the pastor and doesn't require an academic degree. However, we do need to ask God for a high degree of tact, skill, and compassion. Here's a few tips to get you started. This was the basis for a training session I did for deacons in our conference.

Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully an.docx
Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully and then ask me in class to explain anything that isn't clear. You can also email me with questions.
At the end there is a short list of possible sites for the ethnography: Sikh, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist. Shumei. There are other religions and many other sites. Bahai is an interesting religion but you have to be invited to attend by a member.
Mormon the same.
If you have access to a Santeria or similar ceremony, great!
To make the project worthwhile choose a site as different from your own background as you can.
If you have a Christian or Catholic background do not do your paper on any kind of Christian or Catholic service.
You are welcome to attend a non-English language service as long as you understand the language being used.
Be sure to okay your choice with me. Some places that don’t work for this project are Scientology, the Self Realization Fellowship, the Kabbalah Center, SGI Buddhist, Hare Krishna.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Attend a religious activity that you’re curious about and would like to explore.
You must attend a service, not simply visit a religious site.
Examples: a mosque, temple, synagogue, gurdwara.
You can probably find an interesting place of worship near where you live or work.
It’s always a good idea to phone or email the place of worship before you attend.
Research methods must include participant/observation and informal conversation. One slightly more formal interview is desirable.
Be absolutely sure to allow time to stay after the service for food, lunch, other refreshment, or informal gathering. This may well be the most important part of your experience and will enable you to answer the question, “What meaning does this place and this service have for the participants?
You must go some place you’ve never been to before. Do NOT choose your own tradition or somewhere you’re even a bit familiar with. Choose somewhere entirely new and different.
The important thing is to come to the service as an outsider, with the eyes and ears of an anthropologist and take note of everything. Use the skills you’ve learned in this class.
You can attend alone or with a co-researcher or two from the class. Best, you can be the guest(s) of a classmate or someone else you know and discuss the event with them. Invite a classmate or two to attend a service from your tradition.
Do not write about an event you attended in the past. But you can use past experiences for comparison and reflection.
It is almost never appropriate to jot down notes during a religious service. Better, write everything you remember immediately after the event. Get sufficient detail to write what anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick”, or rich description.
In writing your paper use terms we've discussed in class and think about connections to the reading we’ve done and films we’ve seen.

Paper Prompt
This is to be a 4 to 5 page paper, analyzing your experience at a religious service or house of worship in any given faith. I ask you to choose, for your first assignment, a religious tradition that you are unfamiliar with – one that is not your own. For one of the subsequent assignments, you may choose your own faith to assess. I have provided the names of several local organizations or houses of worship which might be useful to choose from. I will also arrange for several field trips if you would like to do this fieldwork in a group setting.
Please make arrangements with someone at that particular house of worship, letting them know in advance that you are going to attend. There may be certain dress codes or points of behavior etiquette that you should follow. Ask them about this. Let them know that you are doing this for a college class. You may let them know my name if you’d like. If a ceremony or service is available to you, try to attend one of those. It is important to witness the rituals and services of different faiths, to get a good sense of everyday worship. If these are inaccessible to non-members or if you are unable to make arrangements to visit during a ceremony, then simply make an appointment to speak directly to someone in the congregation – perhaps one of the clergy or leadership – who would be willing to give you a tour of the house of worship and speak with you in person about their faith.
When you attend, remember that you are an emissary, a representative, from LMU. Be a suitable representative that will make a good impression. Do not judge. Remember that all people of all religions have suffered persecution at some point. We share that heritage. Give them the opportunity to teach you something about themselves without being condescending toward them.
When you are at the house of worship, remain as silent as you can while the service is going on, so as not to disturb any of the ceremonies. Observe without judgment. After the service, ask questions of the people who have been your hosts or guides, but ask politely and respectfully. It is important to ask questions, so that misunderstandings do not persist. If you talk about your own faith at all with your hosts, please do not do so in an adversarial manner, preaching at them. Merely share your perspectives briefly, for comparison, and do so non-confrontationally.
In your paper, give a brief summary of the experience, including the date, time, location, and any other details, such as the particular religion or sect, the type of service you attended, and perhaps the title and name of the person presiding over the service or acting as your guide. Then address certain things such as your understanding of the relationship between the religious leaders and the congregation. Focus on the way people address the deity (if applicable) and what their perceived relationship is with that deity. Focus on the use of space in the house of wor.

Geographies of Religion Sacred SpacePlacesacred + sp.docx
Geographies of Religion: Sacred Space/Place
sacred + space + place
•Most often, sacred space is used to speak in
general and abstract terms; sacred place is
used to speak about specific sacred locations
•Sacred = From Latin sacere which means
sacred or holy, but there are no other roots.
Émile Durkheim (French Sociologist, 1858-1917)
•First to use sacred space/place in a systematic
way: Elementary Forms of Religious Life
• What is the sacred? What is religion?
• An attempt at explaining the mysteries of
the universe?
• An attempt to account for a creative,
dominant divinity?
• The definition of religion must account for
every single instance through out history.
The Sacred and the Profane
Durkheim’s definition of religion:
“a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred
things, that is to say, things set apart and surrounded by
prohibitions—beliefs and practices that unite its adherents in a
single moral community . . .”
Durkheim: Religion is a community worshipping itself.
The sacred and the profane are ways of ordering the
community and its relation to the world.
What is Sacred Space/Place
for Durkheim?
1.It is radically set apart from normal,
everyday space/place
2.It is not individual
3.It is a socially unifying location
4.It contributes to communal
“effervescence”
Effervescence
“Within a crowd moved by a common
passion, we become susceptible to feelings
and actions of which we are incapable on
our own. And when the crowd is dissolved,
when we find ourselves alone again and fall
back to our usual level, we can then measure
how far we were raised above ourselves. . . .”
Effervescence
“Once the individuals are assembled, their
proximity generates a kind of electricity
that quickly transports them to an
extraordinary degree of exaltation. Every
emotion expressed is retained without
resistance in all those minds so open to
external impressions, each one echoing
the others. The initial impulse becomes
amplified as it reverberates, like an
avalanche gathering force as it goes. . .”

Meditations on the First Philosophy (1641)
Meditation II� Of the Nature of the Human Mind; and that it is more easily known than the Body.
The Meditation of yesterday filled my mind with so many doubts that it is no longer in my power to forget
them.� And yet I do not see in what manner I can resolve them; and, just as if I had all of a sudden fallen
into very deep water, I am so disconcerted that I can neither make certain of setting my feet on the
bottom, nor can I swim and so support myself on the surface.� I shall nevertheless make an effort and
follow anew the same path as that on which I yesterday entered, i.e. I shall proceed by setting aside all
that in which the least doubt could be supposed to exist, just as if I had discovered that it was absolutely
false; and I shall ever follow in this road until I have met with something which is certain, or at least, if I
can do nothing else, until I have learned for certain that there is nothing in the world that is certain.�
Archimedes, in order that he might draw the terrestrial globe out of its place, and transport it elsewhere,
demanded only that one point should be fixed and immoveable; in the same way I shall have the right to
conceive high hopes if I am happy enough to discover one thing only which is certain and indubitable.
�I suppose, then, that all the things that I see are false; I persuade myself that nothing has ever existed
of all that my fallacious memory represents to me.� I consider that I possess no senses; I imagine that
body, figure, extension, movement and place are but the fictions of my mind.� What, then, can be
esteemed as true?� Perhaps nothing at all, unless that there is nothing in the world that is certain.
�But how can I know there is not something different from those things that I have just considered, of
which one cannot have the slightest doubt?� Is there not some God, or some other being by whatever
name we call it, who puts these reflections into my mind? That is not necessary, for is it not possible that I
am capable of producing them myself?� I myself, am I not at least something?� But I have already
denied that I had senses and body.� Yet I hesitate, for what follows from that?� Am I so dependent on
body and senses that I cannot exist without these?� But I was persuaded that there was nothing in all the
world, that there was no heaven, no earth, that there were no minds, nor any bodies:� was I not then
likewise persuaded that I did not exist? Not at all; of a surety I myself did exist since I persuaded myself of
something [or merely because I thought of something].� But there is some deceiver or other, very
powerful and very cunning, who ever employs his ingenuity in deceiving me.� Then without doubt I exist
also if he deceives me, and let him deceive me as much a.

Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.OverviewLOCLBus Ltd .docx
Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.
Overview
LOCLBus Ltd are a bus operator in the East of England, in the UK. With a fleet size of 60 vehicles, ranging from large minibuses to 60 seater vehicles, they are a well known independent operator in the region, second only to the main contractor, First Group who operate the main local authority contracts in the region.
In response to demand from customers and the local authorities who contract LOCLBus to operate key services on their behalf, the management team have decided at a recent board meeting to stop accepting cash payments on all services where customers pay the driver (so not, for instance on school services) and replace cash with card payments and, they hope an App for mobile devices. The board realise this is a huge change for them, as since their inauguration in 1972, the only way they have accepted payment is via cash and it totals £2.7m per year, around 40% of their revenue (the rest being from local authority payments and other commercial contracts).
You have been recruited, due to your experience in commercial vehicles, to project manage this process, from fact finding to roll out of the
first phase
(card payments on vehicles) to the
full roll out
which will cover Contactless card, Apple Pay and Android payments and their App which will allow customers to buy virtual tickets in advance. The current status is that the project has been discussed, and you have some guidance documents from the board, but nothing has been started yet. You are expected to plan the complete process, and write a discussion report which will go to the board in the form of a 2500 written report and supporting documents outlining the key steps in the project.
On your first day in the office, you bring your trusted guide books;
Project Management by Harvey Maylor
and the
PMBOK Guide from the Project Management Institute
. You will be referencing these as best practice and anything else you think is suitable in terms of sources.
You admit to feeling a little overwhelmed by the new job, but with the tools and techniques you have learnt and guidance from best practice, you think ‘if they sent man to the moon’ you can do anything...
Further information and tips to help you complete and create your project plan:
LOCLBus plan to buy the equipment, that includes card reader, control system and web based storage and part of the project which will be to source a suitable supplier who will partly define the roll out based on their timelines and experience.
A supplier who is of interest to LOCLBus is detailed in Appendix 1
LOCLBus require their own custom mobile app to be developed, this will be branded with the company image and provide fee-free transfer (to the customer) via the different payment methods. They require a plan to be defined, to understand timings and cost for the mobile app development.

19.4. RICHMOND PLANET AND WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE, EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS FROM AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES (1899–1900)
Black soldiers serving in the Philippines to put down the insurgency against the United States sent letters to African American newspapers relating their experiences on the islands. Some disheartened soldiers found that the color line extended far beyond the boundaries of the United States, while others saw action in the Philippines as a chance to prove their patriotism and their equality. The first and third letters below were published in the Richmond Planet on December 30, 1899, and December 22, 1900, respectively. The second letter was published in the Milwaukee newspaper Wis- consin Weekly Advocate on May 17, 1900.
Dear Mr. Editor: We received copies of the Planet sent to us at this point. You can imagine how much we appreciated them when we had not seen a paper of any kind for weeks, and as for an Afro-American paper, I can not remember when I last laid eyes on one. . . .

Religious Site Visit AssignmentThe purpose of this assignment .docx
- 1. Religious Site Visit Assignment The purpose of this assignment is to enable you to visit a new and unfamiliar religious-cultural setting and to learn in an experiential way about the beliefs and rituals of another tradition. You may choose among many houses of worship: Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. Attending a Christian service or the service of the particular religious tradition in which you were raised is prohibited (this means you should not visit any Christian denomination nor a place of worship you are familiar with; the purpose of this assignment is to step outside the box and learn about another tradition). Write a 3-4 page paper, double-spaced, 12 point font, which includes the following information: · The place, time, date, and a physical description of the place. · Description of the ritual you experience: words, actions, people, symbols, songs, etc. · What are the demographics? Who make up the congregation?
- 2. · Describe any relevant encounters you had with the worshippers. How were you treated? · What are the similarities and differences between this experience and what you experienced growing up? · Reflect on your experience as an onlooker? What did you learn? What surprised you? What questions are you left with? · Elaborate on any other aspect of the experience that left an impression on you. **Please turn in a bulletin or similar document as proof of attendance (scan/email with your paper, or take a picture with your phone and text/email it to me)** **Final due date is November 18 , but you are encouraged to complete the visit and paper at any time during the course (prior to the due date of course)** **Please see a list of possible sites below. This is not a comprehensive list.
- 3. You may visit any house of worship within the parameters of the assignment.
