  • Handbook of Religious Beliefs and Practices
    STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES 1987 FIRST REVISION 1995 SECOND REVISION 2004 THIRD REVISION 2011 FOURTH REVISION 2012 FIFTH REVISION 2013 HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES INTRODUCTION The Department of Corrections acknowledges the inherent and constitutionally protected rights of incarcerated offenders to believe, express and exercise the religion of their choice. It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

  • The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada's Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities
    Brown Baby Jesus: The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada’s Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities Kathryn Carrière Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Religion and Classics Religion and Classics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kathryn Carrière, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my husband Reg and our son Gabriel who, of all souls on this Earth, are most dear to me. And, thank you to my Mum and Dad, for teaching me that faith and love come first and foremost. Abstract Employing the concepts of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) and system as primarily discussed by Edmund Husserl and Jürgen Habermas, this dissertation argues that the lifeworlds of Anglo- Indian and Goan Catholics in the Greater Toronto Area have permitted members of these communities to relatively easily understand, interact with and manoeuvre through Canada’s democratic, individualistic and market-driven system. Suggesting that the Catholic faith serves as a multi-dimensional primary lens for Canadian Goan and Anglo-Indians, this sociological ethnography explores how religion has and continues affect their identity as diasporic post- colonial communities. Modifying key elements of traditional Indian culture to reflect their Catholic beliefs, these migrants consider their faith to be the very backdrop upon which their life experiences render meaningful. Through systematic qualitative case studies, I uncover how these individuals have successfully maintained a sense of security and ethnic pride amidst the myriad cultures and religions found in Canada’s multicultural society. Oscillating between the fuzzy boundaries of the Indian traditional and North American liberal worlds, Anglo-Indians and Goans attribute their achievements to their open-minded Westernized upbringing, their traditional Indian roots and their Catholic-centred principles effectively making them, in their opinions, admirable models of accommodation to Canada’s system.

  • Chapter Ii a Brief History of the Church in Kerala
    CHAPTER II A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN KERALA Traditionally, Kerala extended from Gokarnam to Cape Comorin, but in historical times its area was confined to the Malayalam speaking territories on the coasts. The country slopes from East to West, with uplands and hills in the East, and plains, lowlands and fields on the western section. The coastal region is almost at the sea level, while the western ghats in the East form an almost unbroken range of mountains, some of which are as high as 10,000 feet. These mountains separate or in some way isolate Kerala from the rest of India, It might, therefore, appear that the Malayalis from the beginning have lived a life of their own. But Kerala's connections across the sea with the countries bordering on the Arabian sea was continuous and of particular significance, which have affected its society and culture. The Church, in fact, traces its origin to these connections, 2 Non-Christian Communities _ Kerala is an instance of the communities of three major world religions - Hinduism, Islam and Christianity - living within one territory. The Hindu community of Kerala experienced the most elaborate system of caste found in India, With 365 divisions and subdivisions,-^ and conceptions of purity and pollution which extended beyond untouchability 42 43 to unapproachability, Kerala was described by Vivekananda as a mad house of caste, *" Yet, the system was unusual in its structure. For, of the four basic varnas, Kshatriyaa were rare and Vaisyas almost non-existent, Nairs took the place of Kshatriyas, though they were regarded as Sudras by the Namboodiri Brahmins.

  • Analysis of the Religious Practices of Hindus at Saint Joseph's Oratory
    UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL Analysis of the Religious Practices of Hindus at Saint Joseph’s Oratory Transmission of Christian Faith after the Second Vatican Council Par John Jomon Kalladanthiyil Faculté des arts et des sciences Institut d’études religieuses Thèse présentée en vue de l’obtention du grade de Ph. D. en Théologie pratique Mars 2017 © Jomon Kalladanthiyil, 2017 Résumé Dès le début du christianisme, la transmission de la foi chrétienne constitue la mission essentielle de l’Église. Dans un contexte pluri-religieux et multiculturel, le concile Vatican II a reconnu l’importance d’ouvrir la porte de l’Église à tous. Basile Moreau (1799 – 1873), le fondateur de la congrégation de Sainte-Croix, insistait sur le fait que les membres de sa communauté soient des éducateurs à la foi chrétienne et il a envoyé des missionnaires au Québec dès la fondation de sa communauté (1837). Pour ces derniers, parmi d’autres engagements pastoraux, l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal, fondé par Alfred Bessette, le frère André (1845 – 1937), est devenu l’endroit privilégié pour la transmission de la foi chrétienne, même après la Révolution tranquille des années 1960. L’Oratoire Saint-Joseph accueille des milliers d’immigrants du monde entier chaque année et parmi eux beaucoup d’hindous. Pour beaucoup d’entre eux, l’Oratoire devient un second foyer où ils passent du temps en prière et trouvent la paix. Certains d’entre eux ont l’expérience de la guérison et des miracles. Le partage de l’espace sacré avec les hindous est un phénomène nouveau à l’Oratoire.

    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: IND34032 Country: India Date: 30 January 2009 Title: India – Kerala – Mukkuva caste – Christians – Catholic Church Questions 1. Please provide background information on the Mukkuva caste community. 2. Please advise whether the RSS has targeted the Mukkuva caste community in Trivandrum? 3. Please advise whether the RSS has targeted Christians in Trivandrum? RESPONSE 1. Please provide background information on the Mukkuva caste community. Background information on Kerala‟s Christian Mukkuva caste (or jati) community was located within several anthropological and sociological studies. The Mukkuva are said to be principally Catholic, having been converted to the faith by St Francis Xavier in the 16th Century, and to be traditionally engaged in fishing. Two sources, a study produced by Kerala University‟s Loyola College of Social Sciences and a study produced by Robert Eric Frykenberg of the University of Wisconsin, relate that Kerala‟s Christian Mukkuva community have, historically, suffered economic and social marginalization as a consequence of their location within the polluted, or untouchable, strata of Kerala‟s caste relations. The website of the Kerala state government lists the Mukkuva communities on the “Other Eligible Community (O.E.C) List” as a community which is “Eligible for all Educational Assistance enjoyed by Scheduled Castes” (for an extensive anthropological overview of Kerala‟s Christian Mukkuva community, see: „Mukkuvan, Christian‟ in: Singh,

  • History of Religion 1
    History of Religion 1 History of Religion INTRODUCTION In the twentieth and into the twenty first century, the study of world religions has become increasingly important because of mass communications and the ease of travel. People from varied cultures are coming into increased contact. Additionally, acts of terror and war have necessitated a comprehensive understanding of the world’s major religions. This course is designed to aid the students in learning how people first developed what can be called religion. It will show how primitive religions evolved into the major ones of today. The basic beliefs of those major religions will be outlined. In today’s world of travel, terror, and communication, students will see how religion is playing an increasing role in political conflict at home and abroad. An understanding of why religion began, and what it is today can help to alleviate conflict, terrorism, and war and bring about peaceful understanding and eventual world peace. In this course, there will be no attempts to rate religions, criticize religion, or have one change any of their beliefs about religion. It is simply to help us understand ourselves and others to promote tolerance. As a one semester, academic, social studies elective, it is open to interested students. There will be research, oral projects using technology, tests, quizzes and homework. It will adhere to all the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards and Board of Education requirements. History of Religion 2 OBJECTIVES The New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards below have been edited to apply to this course of study. A.

  • Arts-Based Methods for Decolonising Participatory Research
    Arts-Based Methods for Decolonising Participatory Research In an effort to challenge the ways in which colonial power relations and Eurocentric knowledges are reproduced in participatory research, this book explores whether and how it is possible to use arts-based methods for creating more horizontal and democratic research practices. In discussing both the transformative potential and limitations of arts-based methods, the book asks: What can arts-based methods contribute to decolonising participatory research and its processes and practices? The book takes part in ongoing debates related to the need to decolonise research, and investigates practical contributions of arts-based methods in the practice-led research domain. Further, it discusses the role of artistic research in depth, locating it in a decolonising context. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, design, fine arts, service design, social sciences and development studies.

  • The Catholic Church and Football in Goa, 1883-1951 James Mills University of Strathclyde Glasgow, Scotland
    Colonialism, Christians and Sport: The Catholic Church and Football in Goa, 1883-1951 James Mills University of Strathclyde Glasgow, Scotland Abstract The chapter uses the development of football in Goa, the Portuguese colony in India until 1961, as a case study with which to critique existing histories of sport and colonialism. The start point of the article is that when taken together existing studies of football in particular, and to an extent sport in general, in colonial contexts bear a range of similarities. Broadly speaking a model can be drawn from them, one in which Christian missionary activity and colonial government projects act to introduce and encourage western sports among colonised populations who then eventually adopt and adapt the games. The Goa example offers a fresh perspective as it argues that while elements of the story of football there are familiar from these other studies, the role of indigenous agents in propagating the game at its earliest stages is crucial to understanding how the sport took off and became embedded in local society and culture. Introduction A range of studies of sport in colonial contexts that have been published over the last decade or so point to the importance of Christian missionaries in introducing modern games and sporting activities to non-western societies. J.A. Mangan’s oft-repeated publications on the mission schools in India are perhaps the best known of those that have examined the role of Western Christians in colonial contexts. In his most recent examination of the issue he returned to the examples of Theodore Leighton Pennell and Cecil Earle Tyndale-Biscoe in the North West Frontier Provinces and Kashmir respectively.1 The North West Frontier region had a pre-existing indigenous interest in physical preparation for martial pursuits that manifested in displays of ‘tent- pegging’.

  • Capitalism and Religion Paper B
    Capitalism and Religion * [First Revision: June, 2015] Carl Mosk ** * This paper is a product of a larger study I intend to summarize in a book, tentatively entitled Purification and Progress: Religion in Economic Evolution. Comments would be much appreciated. However please do not cite without the permission of the author. ** www.carlmosk.com; e-mail: [email protected] 1 Abstract The essence of capitalism is credit creation driven by the mobility of capital; the essence of religion is purifying faith. Pervading the great religions of the Classical Era – Judaism, nascent Christianity, Greek philosophy, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism - was contempt for the merchant, nascent capitalism’s agent. To priests domestic merchants were corrupters, impure; to rulers foreign merchants – notably the nomadic peoples of the Central Asian Steppes adhering to the Central Asian Complex – were potential military enemies. Ultimately pummelled by invasions swirling out of Central Asian that terrified their elites, the great civilizations slipped into the Dark Ages, trade faltering. As the great civilizations recovered from the Dark Ages, the Central Asian Complex merged with Classical Era religions in two regions: Western Europe and Japan, spawning feudalism. Exploiting reviving opportunities for Eurasian wide trade, a new religion Islam emerged. It promoted capital mobility, putting down the roots of Merchant Capitalism. To stay competitive Islam’s most fervent enemy, Western Europe Christendom, gradually copied and adopted Islam’s innovations, notably the bill of exchange, laying the foundation for banks and stock markets. Drawing upon Greek learning as interpreted and updated by Islamic scholars, and exploiting domestic advances in manufacturing precision machinery, Western Europe slowly wedded Merchant Capitalism to a second form of capitalism, Technological Capitalism.

Migratory patterns – moved from place to place to find food, water and shelter People shared ideas with other people as they moved. Humans had been nomads (moved from place to place) but settled into the cradles of civilization (lived in communities). People began living in villages instead of moving place to place.

Irrigation Allowed people to water their crops and not depend on rain – They used dams and canals.
