Truth About Wicca, Emily Heiden Dec 2009

Truth About Wicca, Emily Heiden

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"Wicca. A five letter word that is many of a time mistaken for another five letter word; witch. Yet in present definitions the two are far from interchangeable. Wicca is a religious practice that is slowly being recognized in the United States and other areas around the world. It’s not a form of association with the devil, nor do Wiccans even believe in the devil. In truth Wicca is more about nature and the beauty of nature than anything else."

Canon Law, American Law, And Governance Of Catholic Schools: A Healthy Partnership, Charles J. Russo Dec 2009

Canon Law, American Law, And Governance Of Catholic Schools: A Healthy Partnership, Charles J. Russo

Educational Leadership Faculty Publications

Roman Catholic schools developed in the United States during the latter part of the 19th century partially in response to a significant wave of anti-Catholic sentiment that swept the nation. Consequently, Catholic schools were established as a kind of parallel system largely free from civil laws, as bishops, pastors, and other religious leaders were free to operate their schools largely under the Church's own internal juridical system, the Code of Canon Law. However, by the middle of the 20th century, due to a variety of demographic factors, the composition of Catholic schools began to change dramatically, particularly with regard to …

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"When I started the transfer process to enter St. John Fisher College, I had intended to be an English major. After seeing an article about the internship program through the Religious Studies department, I sought out Fr. Costanzo to ask about that opportunity. Less than a week later I entered Fisher as a Religious Studies major. That internship program directly resulted in my current position as Ministry Staff Assistant at my parish. My job encompasses many areas, not the least of which is secretarial in nature; however, the essence …


Voices From The Margins: African Women’S Hermeneutics, James Chukwuma Okoye C.S.Sp. Dec 2009

Voices From The Margins: African Women’S Hermeneutics, James Chukwuma Okoye C.S.Sp.

Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

In this article delivered during the 2008 Annual Meeting in Chicago, Okoye describes several landmarks in African biblical interpretation from the various lenses of race, class, and gender. From the early days of a culturally-sensitive African hermeneutics in the 1960s, to modern popular readings of the Bible, to women’s unique readings of the shades of meaning therein, Okoye focus on the intersection points of biblical and cultural interpretation and the ways a marginalized people have found meaning in the Bible.

Code Black: A Black Catholic Liberation Bioethics, Shawnee M. Daniels-Sykes S.S.N.D. Dec 2009

Code Black: A Black Catholic Liberation Bioethics, Shawnee M. Daniels-Sykes S.S.N.D.

Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

Based on a paper delivered during the 2008 Annual Meeting in Chicago, Daniels-Sykes, S.S.N.D., proposes that the long history of neglect and abuse suffered by blacks at the hands of the health care industry results from entrenched assumptions fostered by Western philosophies and principles that guide mainstream medical ethics, particularly in light of the 1979 Belmont Report, produced in response to the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study. That the report failed to take into consideration the circumstances of poverty and race, factors key to our understanding those victimized by the Study, underscores the prevailing implicit assumptions of black inferiority. Daniels-Sykes advises …

On January 20, 2009, I joined my sister, Margaret, my brother, Mark, and a million or more of our fellow citizens on the nation’s Mall to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joseph Biden.

Welcoming The Shabbes. . .Backwards, Jay Dublin Dec 2009

Welcoming The Shabbes. . .Backwards, Jay Dublin

Student Scholarship

During the years of mass Yiddish migration to the Americas, the United States and Canada formed a single, contiguous ?culture area? for the performance of klezmer, or traditional Yiddish, folk music. But a new revival of a medieval klezmer tradition has recently occurred in both countries. This essay examines the klezmer musicians? Backwards March, performed to welcome the Sabbath at KlezKanada, an annual summer retreat that celebrates Yiddish arts and letters in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. The tradition is traced from its medieval origin to modernity in Eastern Europe, through its recent migration to North America. The work demonstrates …


A Tri-Disciplinary Analysis Of Religion, Alicia Wallace Dec 2009

A Tri-Disciplinary Analysis Of Religion, Alicia Wallace

Social Sciences

This paper analyzes religion using a multi-disciplinary approach. Studying the Social Sciences exposes one to an opportunity not just to learn a single discipline, but three, and this unique learning experience can teach one to look at the world’s phenomena with a multi-perspective view. Using a tri-disciplinary approach when exploring topics can broaden ones outlook on how there are many ways to explore and investigate a topic in greater detail. By using Anthropological, Sociological and Geographical theoretical perspectives one can understand a topic more fully by using a multi-perspective approach when exploring this diverse world culturally, socially and physically.


Corporeal Man: A Latter-Day Saint Perspective, Todd S. Davis Dec 2009

Corporeal Man: A Latter-Day Saint Perspective, Todd S. Davis

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the Latter-day Saint theology and teachings concerning the physical nature of man.Exploring the Latter-day Saints' theological approach to corporeal man and God's designs regarding the physical nature of man is significant because of the unique Latter-day Saint belief that God, Himself, is an exalted, corporeal man and that the physical body of man was created by God to enable humans to become like Him in all aspects. Latter-day Saints believe that Heavenly Father created spirit bodies for His sons and daughters in a pre-mortal state.The physical earth was then created through Jesus …


Joseph Priestley: Scientist, Philosopher, And Theologian: Book Review, Michael Austin Dec 2009

Joseph Priestley: Scientist, Philosopher, And Theologian: Book Review, Michael Austin

Religion in the Age of Enlightenment

I n two hundred or so published works between 17 60 and his death in 1804, Joseph Priestley established himself as an important voice in more than a half a dozen important fields. He was a grammarian and pedagogue, philosopher and political theorist, historian, world famous scientist who played a major part in the discovery of oxygen, and important figure in the development of Unitarianism. Covering all of this in a single introductory volume is a big job, and Joseph Priestley: Scientist, Philosopher, and Theologian does it well, providing a much needed introduction to the thought of one of the …
