Field Interviews Project: Visiting a Catholic Church

Field Interviews Project: Respectfully visit a place of worship (Catholic Church) for a faith tradition not your own (I’m Muslim). Engage (a) member(s) of that religion – the person can be on campus, at home or at a faith’s center. Talk about an “interviewee’s” faith in one or more of the following: Faith’s creed, code of conduct, cult (worship or prayer) and/or community. If rapport is sufficiently strong, ask about the peace practices discussed in your text. Following the visit and the dialogue, write a 3 page, double spaced summary. It should include both what you did and, more importantly, what you learned. Any typo/grammar mistakes will be penalized. Text Books & Readings: • Mark Juergensmeyer, Terror in the Mind of God.
