Article Writing Homework Help

I will pay for the following article Experience at a Greek Orthodox Church. The work is to be 7 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. For my present religious field trip assignment, I opted to visit the St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church located in downtown Los Angeles. I chose this church because it was easy for me to access, the architecture for the building is incredible and I have some friends who attend there so I didn’t feel quite so strange about going. In spite of having friends that attend this church, I made my plans to visit on my own. I didn’t want to feel pressured into forming a favorable opinion in order to appease my friends. My visit to this church was also the first time I had ever attended a church meeting of any kind and I had no idea what to expect. My friends had done their best to explain what Sunday mass was like, but what they told me and what I found out through research was not enough to prepare me for what I experienced while attending one mass held at this church.

My lack of education in Christian traditions does not reflect poorly on my parents for not giving me this very American experience. I was born in China and grew up in all Asian countries. We had our own concepts of theology and followed our own traditions but we did not have much experience of Christianity and I never felt the need to explore the beliefs or traditions of this religion prior to now. The closest I think I ever came to understanding anything about the Christian tradition was my parent’s use of a familiar term. As I grew up, my parents would occasionally refer to something they called Orthodoxy, but the way that they used the term made me think that it was something that was most in line with the country’s ideals. To me, anything orthodox was a religion that worked the hardest to aid the country’s leaders. However, when I looked up the term prior to attending mass at Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Church, I learned it actually has a slightly different meaning. According to several different dictionaries, the term is actually used to refer&nbsp.to a belief system that attempts to follow the original ancient traditions of the people.&nbsp.
