                           "What Religions Do" Connection

# data[].attributes.body
The section "What Religions Do" in the Invitation to World Religion textbook, it states, "Of the questions, and challenges addressed by religions, these three are especially prominent. 1. What is ultimate reality? 2. How should we live in this world? 3. What is our ultimate purpose" (Brodd 12)? I thought that during the online service I attended, they answered these three questions. The ultimate reality described by Christianity is displayed in forms of prayer. We pray to Jesus Christ as he is the Christian ultimate reality. The other two questions are answered during the service through scriptures and readings. These readings of the bible give its followers guidelines on how to live in the world, as well as one's purpose.

In the textbook, it also states, " religions tend to involve beliefs. But as long as they remain private to the individual they are given outward expression in the form of a religion's teachings. However, beliefs can be observed and interpreted" (Brodd 20). During my online service, I was able to witness and hear the readings and scriptures being told. Although these scriptures are all told to people who follow the same beliefs I still believe everyone has their own interpretation. Being someone who follows Judaism I may have been a bit more open-minded to different interpretations, being that I have different beliefs, but I still feel even in religion everyone has their own perspective.

- The Bishop: Led most worship and prayers performed. Also presented the "blood and body of Christ" at the end of the service, and at the beginning of the service started with lighting incense at the altar, and at the cross.

- The Priest: Helped the Bishop with readings from the Bible. He also always introduced the singer, and overall seemed to help the Bishop perform the service.

- The Congregation: The congregation replied at certain parts, to certain prayers. Group of a few people who seemed to dress similar to the priest and bishop.

- The Singer: Sang the songs of worship. Was greeted by the Bishop or Preist. There was always an organ piano playing in the background.

Are There Specialized Roles for Participants?

Being that we are currently in a Pandemic and social distancing is being practiced around the world, there was a very limited amount of people at the online service I attended. Yet, there was still some specialized roles.
