Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Unlike some religious groups, such as Catholics, who baptize infants, in the Baptist denomination you must first do what in order to be baptized and become a member of the church, which usually takes place around the age of 12?

Answer: Say a special prayer to become saved

According to Baptists, baptism can only be performed on an individual who has been "Saved". Baptists believe that becoming saved is a choice, not a condition you are born into. That's why they don't baptize infants, who are not old enough to make an informed choice.
2. In the 1780s in Philadelphia, the African Methodist Episcopal Church church was established by the Free African Society, in response an incident in which blacks who were on their knees praying were dragged out of church by white Methodist congregants. Who was the former slave that successfully sued for the right to establish this church in 1794?

Answer: Richard Allen

Allen's former slave owner, Stokeley, had been considered liberal in the sense that he allowed his slaves to worship freely, but they were harassed and not welcomed by the white congregants in the Methodist Church. The Free African Society emerged from his efforts to provide a place for Africans to worship as well as a mutual aid society.

This led to the establishment of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination.
3. The Hasidim, a group of Orthodox Jews, follow very strict and ancient rules about everyday life, including keeping their kitchen kosher. Which circumstances would not occur in a Hasidic Jewish kitchen?

Answer: They would call to order a kosher pizza delivery on Friday night

The weekly Sabbath, which begins with lighting candles at sundown on Friday night and continues until sundown on Saturday night, is a period that forbids work. There would be no delivery of kosher pizza, because the kosher restaurants would be closed, and there would be no Jewish delivery person on duty. Orthodox Jews typically unplug phones during the Sabbath, so no phone call could be placed for a delivery. Dishes would not be washed until after the Sabbath, when work can be done.
4. Observant Jews take the source and slaughter of their foods very seriously. What is the common symbol used on packaging to show that food is kosher?

Answer: A capital U or K with a circle around it

The symbol on food packages used to identify Kosher, is typically the K or the U with a circle around it. Other marks may indicate "P" or "Pareve" meaning that it is a neutral side dish that can be served with meat or dairy dishes, which can only be eaten four hours apart from each other.
5. Which American-established denomination rejects the concept of the Trinity as being of pagan origin, and also rejects the deity of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, as well as the existence of eternal conscious punishment in Hell?

Answer: The Jehovah's Witnesses

This church's beliefs depart radically from most mainstream denominations established in the USA. The Jehovah's Witnesses have on many occasions incorrectly predicted the day that the world is supposed to end. They are famous for going door to door in many communities to proselytize. They do not vote or take part in national politics.
6. The Blessing Way and the Enemy Way are two very fundamental ceremonies in the cosmology of this Native American nation. The Blessing Way recounts the creation story of First Man and First Woman, and includes important initiation rituals. The Enemy Way is a powerful protection and healing ceremony to counter evil and sickness. Which nation, whose lands cover the Four Corners area of the US, call themselves "Dineh?"

Answer: The Navajo Nation

The Navajo Nation sits squarely on the Four Corners area, where New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado converge. They have the second largest Native population after Cherokees, and the largest property with their own schools, medical facilities, police forces and President/Council members. They call themselves "Dineh" and their land "Dinetah."
7. In most Christian denominations, women are not allowed to be church leaders serving in the role of bishops or pastors. However there is a church that stands out in terms of their number of female bishops worldwide. Which two closely related denominations have the highest representation of women serving as bishops?

Answer: Anglican & Episcopal

The Anglican and Episcopal churches have led the way forward into the 21st Century with woman pastors and bishops. Since 2015, the Anglican church has ordained 32 women. The Episcopal church also prides itself on permitting women to perform the duties of bishop and pastor.
8. This religion was founded in India towards the end of the 15th Century in the Punjab region. The adherents do not believe that any particular religion has the monopoly on truth. Its followers are monotheists who strive to conquer lust, rage, greed, ego and attachment. What is the name of this faith founded by Guru Nanak?

Answer: Sikhism

Sikhs promote their belief in brotherhood of mankind. They are considered warriors who have traditionally had to fight to defend their families from war and intolerance. After 9/11 in the US, many of their followers were targeted (along with American Muslims) based on the fear provoked by their wearing of turbans.
9. This nation, mentioned in the book of Genesis, is the birthplace of the Queen of Sheba. Her tomb and obelisks are located in the city of Axum. Her son with King Solomon, named Menelik, founded a dynasty. In Lalibela, one can find ancient Christian churches in the shape of the cross, carved out of rock that descend into the ground. This nation has the oldest Bible, written in the Ge'ez language. It is home to the Beta Israel, modern descendants of Abraham. The first 19 followers of Muhammed were given refuge by their King of Kings. What nation is being described?

Answer: Ethiopia

Ethiopians were described by the Greek historian Herodotus as being "the most just of all people." The Ark of the Covenant is believed to be kept hidden and protected in Ethiopia, a decision of King Solomon's. This nation, also known as Abyssinia in its long and storied history, can in many ways be considered the birthplace of all western religion.
10. This greatly misunderstood faith, espoused by the descendants of African slaves throughout the Caribbean and South America, combines the veneration of European Saints with traditional West African spiritualism. Also called Obeah in Jamaica, Santeria in Puerto Rico, and Candomble in Brazil, in Haiti it is known by what name?

Answer: Voodoo

Voodoo was a way for Africans in the New World to hold on to their traditional beliefs while appearing to espouse Christianity, which was a requirement of slaves under punishment of death. The Orishas (spirits) were venerated as a way of connecting with ancestors, and gaining strength to overcome adversity.

Many people of the Caribbean and other parts of the Americas continue to practice Voodoo.
