After church, write a reflection paper (min 500 words) in which you answer the following questions:

• How many people were in attendance? How would you describe them (age, gender, race, appearance)?
• How was the meeting organized and how did it differ from other church services you have attended in your life? What aspects of the service were most meaningful for you?
• What religious specialists were present? What rituals were performed?
• Do some historical research online in order to determine: How did the AME church originate in the Philadelphia region and what are its basic tenets?
