Turns out, there is no pastor or priest so their was not a rule relating to the question of can they be married. Those are two of the large things I wanted to learn about. It really intrigues me learning about other religions. The biggest reason being it educates me as to what other religious people go through and believe. I went into the project not knowing much at all about the religion. One of the biggest things I took away from this was that they do not have a pastor or priest.

I also learned that the religion is most popular in South America. In the United States, it is most popular in
