I’m taking a online quiz for homework and I came across a question I don’t understand (haha, i sound smart :D).
This is the question:
Do you speak more in:
(a) particulars than generalities
(b) generalities than particulars
What is the difference?
**AND PLEASE NO DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS. I can never understand those lol…Try to put it in your own words. 🙂

The difference is that particulars means giving details, and generalities means giving a broad, simplified view. So, choice a) is asking whether you give more details and a less simple view, and choice b) is asking whether you give a simplified view and less details.
For example’s sake, let’s say you went to the movies with a friend and during the previews the projector broke and caused the showing of your movie to be delayed by 1/2 hour and that made the whole experience suck for you. Later, if a different friend asked you how the movie was and you answered “It sucked because the projector broke and the movie was late”-then that would be speaking in particulars, but if you answered, “It kinda sucked”-then that would be speaking in generalities.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
One can only speak in generalities, since there are exceptions to everything. Non-denominational churches are generally dependent upon the charismatic leadership of a single pastor. They generally do not use a pre-established liturgy, and scripture readings will be selected by the pastor for each service as that person desires. Music will generally tend to the more “popular” or “contemporary Christian” style. Services tend to be designed to heighten the emotions of the congregants. The Episcopal Church is based upon a hierarchy going back hundreds of years (if you accept the idea of the apostolic succession–almost 2,000 years). While a particular priest may be well liked in a congregation, the church is not organized around the leadership of that single individual. The center of the service is the Book of Common Prayer, which adapts the liturgy which has been in use in the Christian church also for hundreds of years, and scripture readings are taken from a common lectionary used (with some variations) by most liturgical churches (e.g., Roman Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian). Music will generally be more formal. Services tend to be more intellectual and less emotional. There is nothing necessarily “good” or “bad” about either approach either to church organization or to worship, but there will (again, generally) be a very different feeling between a non-denominational church and an Episcopal church.

Episcopal or Anglican is a Reformed church. They use a liturgy (though it depends on your group how dependent the service is on it) which is an order of service including the Creeds (Apostolic, Nicene and/or Athanasian). You may find the order of service very different to nondenominational groups but depending on whether they are “high” church (very bound to form and liturgy) or “broad” church (more Evangelical) it may be very much like what you are used to. Where I live, the Anglican church is strongly Bible-based and not as liberal as it is in say the UK or USA. A lot depends on your pastor/bishop.
