Examples of New Religious Movements
Relate and give examples of a sect, a cult, an alternative religious movement, a marginal religious movement, and an emergent religion. Then select any two new religious movements which are offshoots of an established religion. Discuss their relationship to the established religion from which they come. What similarities are apparent? What are the most striking differences between them? Why did these branches develop?
Spirituality and Nature
What are the common themes and the differences among nature spirituality, deep ecology, and New Age spirituality? Give examples of each and explain what role does nature play in these new religious movements and nature might be important in the modern world.
