blog 13
blog subject: Describe the legal/justice system of the people you are living among. Note: Investigate whether there is a difference between the national system and what happens among the people group (especially in minority situations).
reading: Read a book, recommended by the field, on the folk religion of your people -- in preparation for blog 12 (or a book recommended by the Journey Team, if your field has no recommendations).
resource questions for blog research: legal/justice system
Where do people gather?
By what mechanism can prisoners be freed?
Describe all the national and social legal systems and administration of justice to which your people are subject
What moral system do they actually try to live by?
What is worst – guilt (of breaking a moral code), shame (and the breaking of relationship), or defilement (ritual uncleanness)?
Do your people expect to receive justice from any system? How? What are they looking for?
