When talking about the church, a person must keep in mind the rituals that are performed usually by said churches. Sometimes these rituals are traditional, but you must not forget that the church does attempt to avoid such practices unless they were to adapt to such a stale lifestyle. To do this churches use genres to help impact the action going on in-/outside of the church—by that, of course, churches also vary in actions. Johnathan Swales tells us that, “a discourse community utilizes and hence possesses one or more genres in the communicative furtherance of its aims” (221). The church most dearest to me is none other than Titus Harvest Dome.
Theodore W. Anderson merged other denominational churches into the ECC in the post-WWII era, which greatly expanded the cultural diversity of the church during the 1960s. This shift away from “isolation’ provided a more dynamic and integrated evangelical community in the ECC for Americans of all differing ethnic backgrounds. This form of foundation dispensational ideology marked a major transition in the Church during the mid-20th century. This new trends in the merger of differing denominational backgrounds into the ECC provided platform for greater racial diversity in the evangelical style of Lutheranism in the late 20th century. In the 1970s and 1980s, the growth of women’s conferences and the inclusion of African-Americans and Hispanic believers into the ECC provided an important and positive development that shifted away from the primarily Swedish ethnic foundations of the church.
This difference makes People’s Temple seem more like a community, drawing from human teachings to focus on preserving good for all mankind and the elimination of prejudice. This can be seen especially when compared to the more church-like view of the Branch Davidians, who see fit to help

Later, more students in Nashville, Tennessee joined the protest, they also sit-in and endured the harassment and negligence, some of them are arrested, but other students will simply take their place to sit-in in more stores and businesses, but during 1960 their hard work paid off when some of the establishment simply respond to serve them to avoid sales loss and incidence of harassment.
It is a common fact in today’s society that many persons believe that religion has brought about more division rather than unity, more harm rather than good. The Christian Church is primarily known for its numerous separations. Christianity is partitioned into several different denominations, of which the Methodist Church and the Baptist Church form a part of. Both of these denominations do contain similarities as well as differences that set them apart. Some of these similarities include they both believe in the Triune God, meaning three persons in one; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Protestant and English reformation were both reforms that took place in the 16th century against the Roman Catholic Church. Comparatively these reformations are alike and different in some sense.

For the duration of my family’s time being here, we have gone to the same church. It is St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church.

The two languages have different service times, but sometimes we have bilingual services.
The Melkite Catholic Church and Roman Catholic Church are both Catholic Churches that are in federation under the authority of the Pope. Both Churches share the belief that there is ‘One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all’. They all have faith that the Holy Spirit is the giver of life and that the Lord must be worshipped and praised. The Melkite and Roman Catholic Church are also similar due to their belief that Jesus is the son of God and that Mary is the mother of Jesus and was therefore filled with more grace than any other living person. Another similarity between the churches is their participation in the 7 sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation (known as Chrismation by the Melkites), Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony).
The first Reformation of the 16th century, began with Martin Luther with the publication of his great, influential work, The Ninety-Five Theses. Luther’s mission to reform the Church and dispose of the corruption of priests and the sale of indulgences, inspired others such as lawyer-turned-reform advocate and preacher, John Calvin to act in the name of what he believed to be righteous. The ideals of the Reformations presented first by Luther, and then modified through the separate branch of Calvinism began a chain-reaction, motivating King Henry VIII to make use of the changing religious ideals to extend his political power.

Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.
