The assignment focusing on one religion that is not your own (don’t do Christianity if it is your tradition, for example, if you are Protestant, which many of you generally are, you cannot do Catholicism or Orthodoxy because those are part of the Christian tradition).

 

Also, since most of you are Christians from many different denominations, none of you should be doing Christianity (Catholicism, Orthodoxy or Protestantism or any denomination of these major branches).

 

 If you are not from any Christian denomination, you may do your report on Christianity; believe it or not, I get a few of these reports every year, where a student will turn in a report about Christianity; I am not sure why, but it always happens, despite my clear instructions not to do that.
