Short Response Paper 1

Prompt Description: Whether a rock, tree, body of water, mountain, home shrine, or constructed temple, sacred spaces anchor the foundations of most world religions. But, what is it that makes these spaces sacred? Who or what determines their ontological status as a sacred space? Who or what determines how long and under what terms a space remains sacred? In class lecture and reading, Eliade provides an explanation behind the
   
construction and sustaining of sacred space. According to Eliade, religious man (homo religosus) experiences some space as non-homogenous, i.e. a distinctive space from the profane, which allows the sacred to break-in to the homogenous and profane world.
For this paper, students will look at a few key issues related to Mormonism and the creation and sustaining of the Salt Lake Temple. First, students must integrate Eliades concepts of chaos/order and cosmicization to explain the Zion-Making Process by which Temple Square came about (be sure

Balance of Family and Ministry

Billy Sunday once said, I have gained the world, but lost my family. As you have learned from the module videos, Billy Sunday was a successful evangelist who left a legacy of family failure. He had three sons and a daughter. His daughter died early in her life, and all three of his sons died before they were 40. His three sons had cumulatively been married nine times. William Carey translated the Bible into approximately 37 languages; however, his wife went crazy and tried to kill him twice. Adoniram Judson lost two wives and several children on the mission field.

What is the difference between Carey and Judson?  Is a righteous mission justified at any cost? Do you trust God to take care of the things you neglect when you pursue His will? Should there be a balance between ministry and family?

I attached an article with my view of family and ministry.
