Assignment:
In 200 to 250 words, create your personal version of the 'perfect' religion. Write a descriptive essay about your created religion, beginning with a definition of what religion is. Develop at least these major categories:
beliefs
moral rules
holy days
sacred places
For beliefs, you might want to decide which of the three basic orientations (sacramental, prophetic, or mystical) will be dominant; or you may develop answers to key questions such as:
Where do we come from?
What is our purpose?
What is our ultimate destiny?
What is the nature of sacred reality?
How inclusive/exclusive is your religion?
Holy days and sacred places can be integrated into the exposition.
