 Shea’s paper due on: February 19th, 2014 Thology in Healthcare McDonough Shantell Camp Shea states, “It is not just a “given” but a “given” that can be developed.” (Shea, pg. 116) This says to me that everyone starts with the same capacity or allotment of ability to develop their spirituality. It is up to the individual where or even if they decide to pursue developing their spirituality. Some people choose to keep their spirituality dormant so to...

 Before reading this, I thought religious experiences only happened to biblical figures or really religious people such as priests and nuns. However, after reading this chapter I began to realize that they can happen to anyone. I realized I have had a religious experience recently. Deciding what colleges to apply to was a hard choice for me. My mother wanted to pay as little as possible for my education, so she tried to force me to apply to all local schools, specifically Saint...

This is a brief summary on the book of Ephesians and how I applied it to my life. One of the things from Ephesians I chose to apply to my life is found in chapter one verses 16-17.

When I see how they removed religion or anything related to the bible in the school...

Yoga and Christianity The author of “Yes to Yoga”, Agnieszka Tennant, seems to argue that yoga can easily be stripped of its Hindu implications. He says that even though it was originally Hindu, he is entirely invulnerable of being contaminated by any god or goddess apart from Christ. He was wise to implement the scenarios in which yoga is exercised today: inside secular American gyms. Not only did he powerfully demonstrate that all forms of Hinduism are nearly extinct from the yoga which is...

Good morning/afternoon year 11 and Ms. Taddeo. Today I will be presenting my speech to discuss why jesus is the role model for Christian life. The Christian tradition has viewed Jesus as the perfect role model because he was sinless. Jesus lived his life providing principles, teachings and messages that are to be emulated by his followers. These teachings are evident in all aspects of christianity and have become the foundation for Christians as to how we are to live our lives. Many texts...

I won't allow myself to get...
