For this interview paper I wasn't sure who I was going to interview at first. I was thinking of all of the religious places of worship in my home town of Sheboygan, but I wanted to interview someone I knew. So I decided to interview my roommate. I've known him since sixth grade, and he is a Lutheran. I was raised a Catholic and I had a lot of friends who were Lutheran. When I was a kid I really didn't think any differently about it, but now for this paper I get to interview a friend and see what his religion is all about and what he thinks.
I asked him first about what his religion was about, like a little summary about it. It all started with Martin Luther and his 95 Theses that he posted on a Church's door. What his Theses talked about were his problems with the Catholic Church. His biggest issues were with how the sacraments were used in the church and how the church is run. It was Martin Luther's Theses that started off the whole Protestant Reformation as well.
After talking a bit about what the religion was about and how it started, I started asking him some other questions. ...

I find comfort and security in knowing that love and forgiveness, regardless of my mistakes, is never withheld. Not believing in something greater than myself soon leaves me in the darkness and despair of the unknown and I feel like the meaning and purpose of my life is robbed from me. My religion also impacts my nursing practice. I have faith that God hears our cries and prayers. I believe that he does answer them, although it may not always be in the way that we want, expect or understand. If a patient of mine is struggling I can turn to God for assistance in caring for one of his children. If they happen to disclose their beliefs and are open to talking about them, I can walk beside them on their journey with life and death. An individual’s beliefs, culture and diversity impact actions and behaviours in the workplace (Harris,
In my paper I will talk about my visit to The Community Church at Murphy's Landing (CCML). I have chosen this particular Church because it is a family church type and my neighbor goes there and she encouraged me to go with her. I went there with my neighbor on April 6, 2014.This church is an appropriate for this assignment because the people there are welcoming me with an open heart and they are willing to help and provide me with information. When I visit the Church’s site I read these words “We know visiting a new church can be intimidating. But, we want to help you to be as comfortable as possible when and if you join us”. The people gather in the church weekly to glorify God in joyful worship. The expressions of worship on CCML take many forms a prayer, a hymn of reverent awe, a guitar ringing with a chorus of praise, or a warm handshake and a welcoming smile. Their weekly services begin at 9:30 each Sunday at church. Also, they have weekly podcast if anyone wants to listen online. They have many types of services for parents, kids and students. People at CCML were so friendly; they gather around me and start welcoming me, one by one. People there introducing themselves to me, one after another and provide me with their contact information and help. Then we start talking about the church services and Christianity in particular. The mission of CCML was knowing, growing and loving. They seek to live out our mission by worshipping together as a local community of believers, growing in spiritual maturity through discipleship, education, and small groups, caring for one another within the context of the larger church body and small groups, and Communicating the love of Christ to our world, both through local outreach and global mis...
Religion, a term that is loosely defined as an idea or set of beliefs someone might look to or believe in, is thought to evoke many emotions when related to Jesus and his ideas. Every single person on earth looks at religion in a different way. When people start to have these different ideas or opinions about a religion they are also looking at Jesus in a different light than before. Religion and Jesus might be related to each other in some ways, but they are also different in other ways. Everyone has his or her own views and beliefs on how Jesus might view religion; some state Jesus loves the idea of religion while others state that he despises the idea and opinions of it.

Many of the discussions included questions drawn from the book and we were asked to relate them to our own lives. For the majority of the questions, I had never even given much thought to the topics. For example, one of the discussion questions was about how Jessica went outside of her comfort zone when she decided to study abroad in Nairobi, Kenya. It then asks each individual to discuss a moment in their life when they were called to participate in something that was outside of their interests or comfort zone. I talked about how during the summer of 2015, my youth director asked me to help teach vacation bible school at our church. I am very shy and not a public speaker, so this was definitely out of my comfort zone, but the idea of bringing children closer to God filled my heart with joy, so I said yes. After talking about this experience I realized how big of an impact this particular event had on my life; I became more involved in my church and I took on more leadership
the most marked example being when he asks “Who was I? What was I? Whence did I
To begin, I want to introduce the people I chose to interview. For the grandparent generation, I chose to speak with my grandmother. Her name is Marie and her age is about the mid-seventies. She was born and raised strict Roman Catholic. Next I interviewed a close friend of mine and the parent of my best friend, her name is Lynne. Lynne is in her late fifties/ earlier sixties, but she fits the parent category because she is like another mother to me. Lynne is a nondenominational Christian. The third person I spoke with was my best friend, and Lynne’s daughter, Allie. Allie is twenty eight years old so she is between categories, but even though Allie was raised in a Christian household she has chosen to be an atheist. She fits the category of a person from another religion. Lastly I interviewed my brother Frank, who is part of my generation because he is nineteen. He was also raised Roman Catholic, but has a very different outlook from my grandmother, due to being from a very opinionated and open-minded generation. Everyone was interviewed at separate times so no one’s opinions could influence another’s.
The two largest religions in the world, Christianity and Islam, were implemented by two of religions most powerful leaders, Jesus and Muhammad. Without question, both Jesus and Muhammad have affected humanity powerfully. As religious leaders both men laid down the principles upon which Christianity and Islam are founded yet today. However, while Jesus performed miracles and arose from the dead, thus proving to his followers he was God, Muhammad performed no such feats, and made no such claims. In fact, Muhammad’s only claim was that he was the last prophet sent from God.
To start off my interview I asked him a couple questions about the requirements and what his field of work involves then I transition into why he loves it and what makes him so passionate about it. Here are a couple of questions I asked him with is response attached to them. The first question I asked was, how did you prepare for this position? What degree did you obtain? What prior experience did you obtain over the years? He earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management, after which he worked closely and networked with a variety of different coaches, small organizations and colligate athletics to get a feel for the industry. As an undergraduate student he went out of his way to connect with different people to pick their brain and figure out which direction he wanted to head in for his respectable field. Next question, what was the process like that you had to go through when applying for this position? He started at the bottom and eventually climbed the ladder and made his way up. He learned through others and picked the brains of the people he studied under until he made a name for himself. Once he got the feel for the industry and the proper knowledge to know how
