The fellowship is a close bond of friendship and brotherhood.

Fraternity is a concept that is used synonymously with brotherhood . It can refer to a kinship bond or a very close friendship .

Some examples

Below we present three example sentences to appreciate the term brotherhood in context: “Both actors were united by a great brotherhood,” “My father always encouraged brotherhood within the family ,” “No matter how hard the teacher tried throughout the year, he did not achieve fraternity in the classroom.”

In these prayers we can see the bond that the fraternity between two or more people entails , which must be truly close, of undeniable intimacy. The two actors mentioned evidently got along admirably well, as if they were brothers, so that they were not pitted against each other by the typical rivalry that the film industry usually fosters between stars.

The second example speaks of this type of union in a family group; According to the issuer, the person responsible for the fraternity in this case is the father. Finally, it tells of a schoolteacher's frustrated efforts to get the students to get along, to make them feel part of a whole, rather than isolated individuals.

Solidarity and affection

The most common use of the notion refers to a relationship of solidarity and affection that is established between a group of individuals or between nations . For example: “The brotherhood between Argentina and Bolivia dates back more than a century since both peoples have common roots” , “In the third half, the rugby players show their brotherhood and share friendly moments” , “The brotherhood between “The two churches broke up when the leaders of both entities quarreled on a television show.”

We should not underestimate the importance of brotherhood , as well as its scope: this feeling of unity and parity can apply to two individuals as well as to two countries, as the first example expresses. In the sporting field, it is also positive to understand that rivalry should only exist on the playing field, during a match.

Fellowship Activities

Fraternity activities , in this framework, seek to foster cordiality and strengthen ties. The authorities of two schools, to mention one possibility, can promote fraternity activities between the students of the two institutions to minimize the conflicts that, from time to time, occur between students. The idea is that the boys get to know each other and become friends or, at least, stop perceiving each other as rivals.

The scale of the fellowship can reach entire countries.

Railway Fellowship Theater

The Teatro de la Confraternidad Ferroviaria , finally, is a hall located in the Argentine city of Tandil (province of Buenos Aires ).
