If you are not religious, this is a great opportunity to examine a religious service. If you are religious, this will allow you to visit with a religious faith other than your own or to analyze (and not just participate in) a service in your own religious organization.In Chapter 3, you learned about participant observations where you observe, interact, and participate in the social context that you are studying.

You must be respectful of the religious practices and rituals while also paying attention to what you see around you. You can take mental notes or, if appropriate, take notes on a small pad of paper. As soon as you leave the service, you should take further notes so that you remember what you observed. Pay careful attention to the following:Was the worship service formal or informal?
