Get PDFIn order to better understand the meaning of the Eucharist, in this paper I describe three theologians’ views about the Eucharist. Their views represent three denominations of the Church. They are: Martin Luther (Lutheran), Alexander Schmemann (Orthodox), and Thomas Merton (Roman Catholic).

No full textFrom Sustainability to Resilience: Contributions from Religious Traditions
No full textReligious communities have long used words like “stewardship” and “creation care” (among others) to describe attitudes and practices of concern for nature. More recently, the language of “sustainability” has become the norm in secular environmental advocacy and activism, particularly on college campuses. As the realities and the extent of human-caused climate disruption, biodiversity loss, environmental injustice, desertification, and other social and environmental disasters continue to unfold, the concepts of “resilience” and “adaptability” have emerged as more appropriate to the contemporary situation. This lecture will weave together contributions to this emerging discourse from Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Native American perspectives.

Get PDFThe three-player game of GEN involves taking turns selecting elements of a group to add to a common pool of elements.

We will identify and develop the strategies players must follow in order to win the game when playing with cyclic groups, dihedral groups, and nilpotent groups
