Branch: large & fundamental division w/in a religion Denomination:division of branch that unites number of local congregations Sect : relatively small group that has broken away from an established denomination
63 Christianity 2 billion adherents (largest world religion) most widespread distribution Three major branches: Roman Catholic Protestant Eastern Orthodox Christian Branches in Europe Fig. 6-2: Protestant denominations, Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodoxy are dominant in different regions of Europe a result of many historic interactions
64
65 The Eastern Orthodox Church 16 th century: date established Location: E. Europe & Middle East collection of 14 self-governing churches More than 40% belong to Russian Orthodox Church

81 Ch. 6 Key Issue #2 Why Do Religions Have Different Distributions??
82 Origin of Religions Universalizing religions - precise places of origin, based on events in the life of a man. Ethnic religions -unknown or unclear origins, not tied to single historical individuals. Specific events also led to division of universalizing religions into branches.
83 Origin of Christianity Founded upon the teachings of Jesus
84 Origin of Islam Traces its origin to same narrative as Judaism & Christianity Founder: Prophet Muhammad He was visited by angel that revealed to him the real will of Allah
85 Conflict Between Jews & Muslims God promised land of (Israel) to Abraham s descendants Abraham had 2 sons: Ishmael & Isaac HAGAR ABRAHAM SARAH Ishmael Isaac Muhammad Jews
86 Origin of Islam Quran: holiest book in Islam Sunni (majority) & Shi'ites They decided to follow different leaders after the death of Mohammed
87 Origin of Buddhism Siddhartha Gautama- founder of Buddhism Later called The Buddha the enlightened one
88 Origin of Buddhism Theravada- older branch of Buddhism -believe they are closer to Buddha s original approach -believe Buddhism is a full-time occupation (become a monk)
89 Origin of Other Universalizing Religions Sikhism & Bahá I - founded more recently than the other 3 Founder of Sikhism: Guru Nanak -traveled through South Asia around 500 yrs ago preaching -many people became his Sikhs-Hindi word for disciples Strong opposition from Shiite muslims in Iran
90 Origin of Hinduism, an Ethnic Religion Hinduism no specific founder existed prior to recorded history Aryan tribes from Central Asia invaded India about 1400 B.C. & brought their religion
91 Diffusion of Religions 3 Universalizing Religions: diffused from specific hearths (places of origin) to other regions of the world. Ethnic religions: remain clustered in one location **All 3 hearths in Asia** Christianity & Islam (SW Asia) Buddhism (South Asia)
92 Diffusion of Christianity Diffused through a combination of: 1. relocation diffusion 2. contagious diffusion 3. hierarchical diffusion
93 Diffusion Paths of Christianity in order Spread mainly by hierarchical process 2. Contagious expansion in Europe 3. relocation to European colonies
94 Diffusion Paths of Islam-- Spread mainly by contagious diffusion through 17 th century through Asia, North Africa. Now world s fastest growing religion spread by both expansion and relocation diffusion.
95 Diffusion Paths of Different Forms of Buddhism. Origin in Northern India; different forms spread by expansion & hierarchical diffusion outward blended in East Asia (syncretism). Hinduism later reclaimed dominance in India
96 Lack of Diffusion of Ethnic Religions limited, if any, diffusion. lack missionaries Diffusion of universalizing religions comes at the expense of ethnic religions
97 Mingling of Ethnic and Universalizing Religions Universalizing religions may mingle with Ethnic religions. African religious ideas & practices merged with Christianity.
98 Judaism, an Exception Romans forced Jewish diaspora: Jews lived among other nationalities Other nationalities often mistreated them Jews of many European countries forced to live in ghettos During World War II Germany killed many Jews Many of the survivors migrated to Israel 10 % of the world s 14 million Jews live in Europe
99 Holy Places ethnic religion: derive from distinctive physical environment of its hearth ex: mountains, rivers, or rock formations universalizing religion: holiness associated w/ founder s life. Making a pilgrimage to these holy places is incorporated into rituals of some universalizing & ethnic religions.
100 Holy Sites in Buddhism holy locations important events in Buddha s life. locations of Buddha s principal miracles. Buddhist Temple in India
101 Mecca, Islam s Holiest City Associated with Prophet Muhammad life Holiest city is Mecca- 2 nd most holiest location: Medina Hajj: Mecca during Hajj
102 Hindu Holy Places closely tied to physical geography of India pilgrimage - act of purification organized into a hierarchy Ganges River Specific Mountains
103 The Calendar Ethnic religion- holidays based on distinctive physical geography of homeland. Universalizing religions- major holidays relate to events in life of the founder rather than to the changing seasons of one particular place.
104 The Jewish Calendar Judaism is classified as an ethnic, religion in part because: 1. its major holidays are based on events in agricultural calendar of religion s homeland in present-day Israel.
105 Issue 3: Organization of Space Places of worship Christian worship Places of worship in other religions Sacred space Disposing of the dead Religious settlements Religious place names Administration of space Hierarchical religions Locally autonomous religions
106 Christian Churches critical role in Christianity expression of religious principles environment in the image of God attendance at collective service of worship considered extremely important Many Gothic churches had crossshaped floor plans
107
108 Muslim Mosques not viewed as a sanctified place location for community to gather together for worship. organized around a central courtyard
109 Hindu Temples important religious functions take place at home w/in family. Temples: built to house shrines for particular gods Congregational worship is not part of Hinduism
110 Buddhist & Shintoist Pagodas Pagoda- prominent & visually attractive element of Buddhist & Shintoist landscapes. not designed for congregational worship.
111 Burial Christians, Muslims, & Jews - bury dead in designated area called cemetery. China: Traditional burial practices have removed approx. 10% of land from productive agriculture -cremation encouraged
112 Other Methods of Disposing of Bodies Hindus - practice cremation Cremation - was the principal form of disposing of bodies in Europe before Christianity Cremation could also free the soul from the body. Exposure Burial at sea Cremation near Taj
113 Hierarchical Religions hierarchical religion - well-defined geographic structure organizes territory into local administrative units. Roman Catholic Church organized into an administrative structure -accountable to Pope in Rome. Pope Archbishop Bishop Diocese Monsignor Parish Priest
114 Roman Catholic Hierarchy in U.S. Catholic Church divides U.S. into provinces headed by archbishops. Provinces divided into dioceses, headed by bishops
115 Latter-Day Saints exercise strong organization of landscape.
116 Locally Autonomous Religions Some universalizing religions self-sufficient Ex: Islam and Protestant
117 Local Autonomy in Islam NO religious hierarchy NO formal territorial organization Strong unity within Islamic world maintained by high degree of communication & migration Ex: pilgrimage uniformity fostered by Islamic doctrine offers more explicit commands than other religions
118 Protestant Denominations vary in structure from autonomous to somewhat hierarchical. Autonomous denominations : Baptists & United Church of Christ -organized into self-governing congregations. Presbyterian churches: intermediate degree of autonomy. Episcopalian, Lutheran, & most Methodist: hierarchical structures -comparable to Roman Catholic Church.
119 Chapter 6 Key Issue #4 Why Do Territorial Conflicts Arise Among Religious Groups
120 Religion vs.government Policies Religious groups oppose policies promoting social change conflicting w/ traditional values Islam: affected by conflict btw. religious values & modern society Sharia Law
121 Taliban vs. Western Values 1996: gained power in Afghanistan Imposed very strict laws inspire by Islamic values Banned leisure activities Believed they were called by Allah to purge Afghanistan of sin & violence 2001: U.S. led coalition overthrew Taliban
122 Hinduism vs. Social Equality Hinduism promotes a rigid social structure The Caste System British administrators & Christian missionaries helped fight the system System was outlawed but still pervades in society
123 Religion vs. Communism Religion challenged in 20 th century by rise of communism Communist government pursued antireligious programs role of organized religion in Soviet life reduced church buildings & property nationalized & could be used only with local government permission religious organizations prevented from conducting social & cultural work
124 Religion vs. Religion Fundamentalism-... Conflicts occur (at) boundary btw two religious groups. 2 longstanding conflicts: 1. Middle East 2. Northern Ireland.
125 Protestants in Northern Ireland 1937: Ireland became independent 26 northern districts with large Protestant populations chose to remain part of the United Kingdom.
126 Religious Wars in Ireland 87% Roman Catholic 46% Protestant Protestant: majority in N. Ireland -preferred to be part of Protestant United Kingdom Roman Catholics in N. Ireland: victim of discriminatory practices -IRA: formed to fight discrimination -UDF: formed in response to the IRA
127 Crusades between Christians and Muslims -Purpose: recapture Holy land from Muslim conqerors -over 150 year period
128 Jews vs. Muslims in Palestine 1947: U.N. Divided Palestine into 2 independent states Jerusalem: was to be an international city open to ALL religions & run by U.N. 1948: Jews declared independent state w/in U.N. Boundaries
129 Boundary Changes in Palestine/Israel The day after independence several neighboring countries invaded Israel 1949: armistice signed that divided control of Jerusalem
