Monday: Religious

Sunday we were at Crossroads, a modern equipped church. Today, we went do a mosque.

Crossroads was more an entertainment temple than a church: everywhere free Wi Fi, in the Auditorium was a stage with band, on the side you could found two big screens. It seams that this church wants to catch younger people and offers them more than the typical old fashioned church feeling.

In contrast to Crossroads is the style of the Cincinnati Mosque by tend more traditional. I saw Arabic quotes from the Quran on walls and everywhere oriental decorations.


As I mentioned, the Crossroads church obviously tries to reach help seeking people (called "Seekers") with modern technology, while the Mosque probably attracts more the traditional Muslims.

Both the church and the mosque want from their believer that they regularly take part on the events. For this action they provide a location for this, and beyond this point, they also offer groups with different topics for every part of the life.

In my opinion help both institutions to cluster their religious people and help them to find like-minded people.
