Renaming "the Sikh Temple" To "the Sikh Church"

[intellect4divine]

Church is a wrong name for our Gurudwaras is well proved after discussion in threads below, And the message that everyone is invited should be given by other means like picture signboards etc.

I believe there is every reason for Sikhs to look like Muslims since

1. Gurudwaras are made generally in Mosque Dome design, where it can be build in any shape and size.Designing it in church architecture

make it much more inviting to people around.

2. No clear definition and effort made to convey that all are invited inside them.

3. No effort to convey sikhs as Pro-Women, Pro-Environment, Pro-Democracy, Pro-Development people.

Tips:-

1. Write in English instead of "The Sikh Temple" write "The Sikh Church", it is far more inviting.

2. Use Mobile gaming culture to spread identity awareness in kids & adults for ex- Popular games like Subway surfers and

Temple run can have sikh characters.

3. Run Open-Houses in gurudwaras and sikh homes to invite neibhours.

4. Open Facilities like Free Gymnasiums, Yoga centers in huge gurudwaras for everybody.

How about just renaming it from "Sikh temple" to "Gurdwara" as it should be called.

Gurudwara is always written in Punjabi & English along with veer....But not everybody understand that it is a place of worship and should be held sacred. That is why most gurudwaras have written The Sikh Temple.

mate I think this guy is seriously deluded the churches did all this and the bottom has fallen out of the congregation. Stick to parchaar methods of Guru ji's times, split areas into sub-regions and have team leaders responsible for parchaar in those areas i.e. new manjis ... sure do translations of bania into idiom of region and choose parchaarik who is familiar with area and people. Gurdwara's are pretty visible but knowledge of what the Nishaan sahib indicates people are not so sure of so leaflet drop , sure do sign boards outside with invitation to learn visible from road like evangelistic churchs may help get public's eye

We can start atleast, built a small martial art center and also do we have a high quality game displaying a sikh characters, with so many engineers in community we can run a project for a high quality game atleast, to create awareness.

I dont know about you veere savinder pal singh you may be a gr8 sevadaar but I am doing my creative bit for the sikhi for the problems our kids are facing. I am here to discuss ideas Rather then just shallow criticize and comments. To me these things can have immediate effect to lots of ppl.

creative is fine it's just that these games etc create nothing of substance in the minds of the players to attach or encourage the investigation of what sikhi is , which is the prime goal.
