"Lines written a Few Miles from Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth:
The human soul writ into nature
William Wordsworth viewed nature as a fruitful subject for poetry because it enabled the poet to engage in intense introspection. In his poem "Lines written a Few Miles from Tintern Abbey" Wordsworth begins by musing upon the natural world, and praising it for how it sustains him in times of grief and joy, in all phases of his life. Rather than simply praising nature's aesthetic qualities, the poem explores how nature is a springboard of self-revelation. Nature is a mirror of the soul. It can no longer be enjoyed in a childlike fashion by the poet, unlike his sister, but it is still an important teacher. This becomes evident at the end of the poem, where Wordsworth contrasts his earlier view of nature with his current, more reasoned appreciation. Nature gives him the ability to bring him closer to his sister by identifying with her perspective, while she brings him closer to his old relationship with nature because of her unfettered delight.

Communion Describe the gender-specific relationship between men, women and love. How is it different? Why? How does gender socialization contribute to these masculine and feminine roles in relationship to love and relationships in general?

Book Chapter: A Theology of Communion for the Contemporary Catholic Parish Introduction The study of ecclesiology is the study of how the Christian church, the ever-expanding body of believers, has evolved over time to respond to new political and social realities. Ecclesiology also takes into account the way organizational structures, hierarchies, and roles within the church have changed and reflect the nuances of a cultural milieu or historical epoch. In addition to
Eucharist in Catholicism and Calvinism Our word "Eucharist" is derived directly from the Greek of the New Testament: etymologically, it derives from the word for grace (charis) with a prefix (eu) meaning "good" or "well," but the original Greek word "eucharistia" means, simply enough, "thanksgiving" -- like our word "thanksgiving" it is a noun that derives originally from an equivalent verb describing the action involved (i.e., the giving of thanks). The
26). Adherents of apophatic theology subscribe to the belief that instead of intellect, it is far more productive to acquire mystical knowledge as this reflects an awareness of God's innumerable ways of manifesting himself. Describing the central differences between apophatic theology and Western religious philosophy, Lossky states that it involves replacing the Holy Trinity -- the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit -- with the more universal (non-Western) virtues
Culture & Religion Roman Catholic: The Roman Catholic religion believes in the Holy Trinity of a creator God the Father; Jesus Christ, His Son; and the Holy Spirit.
