Concluding journaling: Western Religions

Respond to material covered in the last two chapters of the Fisher text:

New Religious Movements: 

1. Of the "New Religious Movements" discussed in the text and online videos, which of them appeal to you most and why? 
2. Do any of these movements seem "suspect" to you (something to be wary of)? Which ones? Why?
3. If you or anyone you know are involved in any of these "new religions" feel free to tell us about your personal experience with it.

Twenty-First Century Pluralism: 

1. Of the three "responses to other faiths" (exclusivism, inclusivism, pluralism) noted in the text, which one best describes your own reaction? Discuss how these reactions manifest themselves in your life.
2. How do you feel about the "interfaith movement" and interfaith initiatives? Would you participate in such? Why or why not?
3. If you have participated in any interfaith activities, feel free to tell us about your personal experience.
