Role of field visits- to contextualise theoretical study by
exploring places of worship. - Grimmitt, 2000, an experiential
encounter with religion through a synchronic and diachronic study of religious communities (historical origins of that religious community and the major phases of its development)
- Jackson, 1997, reality of lived experiences which can be accessed through ‘ethnographic and personal accounts of religious life.’
