This could be a synagogue, a Christian church, a mosque, or a temple. The purpose of this trip is to report on what you saw -normally a religious service—and how it compares to your own religious upbringing and/or current practice. You want to clarify that you visited a site that is not from a familiar religion.The report should give a description of the site (including name and location) and a detailed summary of the religious service. Please answer the following questions (I suggest answering them in order and with section headings) as thoroughly as possible in your own words.1. Did the exterior of the worship facility add to the overall religious feeling of the visit? Describe your first impression as you pulled up to the building. Did the architecture lend itself to worship? Add specific details to support your answer.2. Describe what you observed. What were the material expressions of the service (statues, paintings, music, etc). Describe the nature of the worship service you saw. (You DO want to attend a service, so check schedules early and maybe confirm) This will probably be the longest section of the report, so be as thorough as possible. For example, what was the overall religious program? What was the theme of the message for that day? If there was a sermon, analyze it. Were there any rituals that struck you as different from your own? Elaborate. Make it “up close and personal.” (Writing in the first person is ideal)3. Conclude with your personal reaction to this experience. Was it positive or negative? Did any members of the congregation talk to you, and if they did, what was the nature of the conversation?Please feel free to be personal and honest in this report.This paper should be at least three (3) pages in length (1050 words) (not including title and references age; a references page is only needed if you cited material) with proper APA formatting. This includes proper documentation.
