Each of the major world religions have a gathering place, where members congregate for spiritual practice, and fellowship or worship services. The names of these are:
- Buddhism - Dojo
- Christianity - Church
- Judaism - Synagogue
- Hinduism - Mandir, or Temple
- Islam - Mosque
- Sikhism - Gurdwara
A passage from the Sikh scripture, composed by Guru Arjun Dev, perfectly expresses the desire for communal worship:
"Kar jorrehu sant ekatra hoe mere laal jeeo abinaasee purakh poojaehaa raam||
Let us join hands, O Saintly ones; let us come together, O my dear beloveds, and worship the imperishable, Almighty Lord" SGGS||541
