Church Fathers

My project consisted of attending a worship service different than that my own.

At the very beginning I was rather apprehensive because of…

I am going to talking about Puritan Poetry in my essay. I will explain the Puritan’s ideology and their characteristics about poetry. Puritanism, begun in England in the 17th century, was a radical Protestant movement to reform the Church of England. Firstly I want to start with their ideology.

and just sobbed. I began to pray and expressed my sorrow to Heavenly Father and to help me through this difficult time. After I prayed I was thinking of ways I could avoid my ward from asking why I came home. The first thought was to not go to church for a while, but that is exactly what Satan would want me to do.

I am motivated for…

authority people of this time had over religion. The Iconoclastic Controversy could make one think of the importance of religious icons to the people. The controversy also makes me see that the people were very spiritual, as well as the importance of the church.
