Kelsey Brooks-Religious Growth

In The Ritual Process by Victor Turner, I thought it was interesting about religious growth. Turner states that religion deals largely with the imaginative and emotional nature, and consequently with uncertain elements of knowledge. In order to believe in a higher power, we must think beyond ourselves. We must also connect with a higher power in an emotional state. For example, Christians pray to God to "connect" with him and try to feel that emotional presence. We must imagine Him in existence and perceive what we feel is reality.
