Going to Union College led me to want to know more about people and the school provided us opportunities to work at different summer camp, I decided to go to Glacier View Ranch in Ward, Colorado. The job requirements were for the counselor to take care of 8 girls from ages 7 to 18. A normal day consisted of taking them to their activities, having a blast and helping them understand that we need to respect and care for each other.

    1148 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jesus. Buddha. Anubis. This has always been one of the most controversial topics throughout history. There have been many civilizations and many wars waged due to religious beliefs. Regardless of who is who and what one believes, all beings believe that what their God, gods, or deities spoke is the truth, the way, and the key to having an everlasting life. The Hebrew seem to now have a religious monopoly with the modern day Christianity, the ideas of the Buddhist reconcile with many of the beliefs of the Hindu, the Egyptians believed in their many gods along with their god –king, and in the midst of all the ancient religions still lies the oldest religions Judaism and Hinduism which are alike in many ways yet completely different. However, the real question is who was right and who was wrong?

  • Study Religion Off Campus And How This May Challenge Traditional Understandings Of Religion

    1497 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are many knowledgeable books that introduce religions as well as specific religious traditions. However, students are naturally introduced to abstract methodological issues such as observer bias, rather than the religions themselves. If religions of the world are not approached with purpose and method, then students are likely to gain “stereotypes… of misinformation supplied by certain sectors of the media” (Chryssides & Geaves, 2014). Thus, in order to see how religion is lived in day to day life, one must “walk a mile in [the] moccasins [of religious people]” as Smart (1998) says. Therefore this essay will attempt to answer why it is important to study religion off campus and how this may challenge traditional understandings of religion.

  • Religious Higher Education

    There are many certificate and diploma programs in Religious Higher Education, but there has not been any research done into these programs and their effectiveness. There has been research into other educational certificates, such as vocational certificates, but not specifically religious educational certificates (Bosworth, 2010; Clark, 2002). It is the goal of this study to determine the ultimate applicability of religious education certificates and diplomas to the real world and the job market. The Certificate in Ministry and Diploma in Ministry at the South Texas School of Christian Studies will be the focus of this study. This institution has offered an 18-credit hour Certificate in Ministry (18-hours of Bible, Theology and Practical Ministry courses) for thirty years. They have recently added a 60-credit hour Diploma in Ministry to their degree offerings.

  • Analytical Essay On Religion

    971 Words  | 2 Pages

    Scholars have been trying to come up with a well-founded, acceptable and universal definition of religion for years; however, none of these definitions so far are a perfect fit for all religions of the world. There are many things in our life that are well defined and well understood but, unfortunately, religion is not one of them. There is no common ground and understanding of what religion really means. Religion is what we make of it, so no one can truly define religion in a way that is meaningful across all borders as it is outside of the realm of reason and rationale and the definitions we give could be either too exclusive or inclusive.

  • Religious Experience Paper

    755 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many different religions in the world that most people do not have a clue about or have never even thought about looking into. The average person grows up and believes whatever they were born into. For example, if you’re Christian typically that’s your religion the rest of your life without even considering practicing something else. Exploring different religions and their practices could make decide to change your faith. Additionally, there are those people who judge other religions without having experienced that specific religion. For me one of those religions I never fully understand or thought about is Hinduism. I found the idea of a god for everything to be interesting but have never thought of experiencing one of their services. Which is why for my religious experience I chose to visit Manav Mandir, a Hindu temple.

  • Being A Christian Student: Being A Christian College Student

    743 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is a coexisting relationship between being a Christian and being a student. A Christian must pursue all avenues of life with Christ as the center of their focus. A student seeks to learn and must challenge oneself to gain knowledge throughout life. For a student, college is one avenue available for them to travel to attain this goal. If someone is a Christian student, they must realize that there is no separation of meaning between the two words. They exist together. This relationship shapes why the student learns and how they learn. Through intellectual hospitality, an article by Stanley Hauerwas and the practice of reading, one gains perspective on the meaning of being a Christian student.

    Religion is something no one can ever take away from me; it informs the way I walk, talk, and even eat. Without such a structured lifestyle, the satisfaction I have with my life would cease to exist. Although my life is nowhere near perfect, I am much more grateful now that I recognize all that God has given me. I got baptized on December 28, 2013 into the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. That day molded me into who I am now, by washing away the baggage of my past.

  • Importance Of The Holy Spirit

    Week after week kids would be heartbroken to leave, often counting the days until they can return to camp again. During my first summer, I began to ask the kids why camp was so important to them. Their response was that camp is their “safe space.” They could come, be who they really are and feel complete, unconditional love. They felt as if they had to live up to certain expectation from the rest of the world, but not at camp. Here they learned how to love freely and what it means to receive the love of Christ. While our camp communities were centered around the love we receive from Christ, it is the Holy Spirit that moved through our relationships there. Teaching us how to be a community that embodies the love that we receive from
