A great faith in the ‘religious experiment’

a great faith in the 'religious experiment'

Many of the British American colonies that eventually formed a part of the USA were populated by European settlers, who were persecuted for their religious beliefs back home, but they held on passionately to their beliefs. They supported their leaders who dreamed of ‘city on hill’ and had a great faith in the ‘religious experiment’ that could be successfully realized in the wilderness of America.

The settlers had a missionary vision of their church even in colonies like Virginia, planned as commercial venture. The entrepreneurs there saw themselves as militant Protestants working towards the glory of their church.

However, the settlers practiced not one but diverse religions before the 18th century and the issue of religious freedom depended largely on the political and religious stance of the region in which they lived.

The sensible trend for planning religious funerals

It’s a challenge that most of us will have to address one day. Even if we never have to arrange a funeral for someone else there’s always our own send off to think about – particularly with the sensible trend for planning religious funerals while we are still alive.

1. Open or closed casket. Sometimes, a person makes it known in advance whether or not he/she wants an open casket. If it’s not known, then the choice is up to the family. When planning Religious Funerals, many people go with an open casket to let family, friends, neighbors and co-workers have one last view of the loved one and to pay respects. However, if the loved had suffered a recent severe stroke and no longer looks the same, then a closed casket might be more appropriate. In either case, the immediate family should be provided the opportunity to view their loved one.

2. Funeral vs. Memorial Service. If relatives aren’t going to be able to arrive within a day or two, or the loved one’s body has been cremated, then you might want to opt to have a memorial service rather than a funeral service. At a memorial service, the body is not present. The picture is commonly located at the top of the casket with flowers and ribbons and sometimes we also put some fruits and other memorable thing.
