Bibliography Introduction "Mithras, God of the Morning, our trumpets waken the Wall! Rome is above the Nations, but Thou art over all!" Rudyard Kipling, British author and poet A Song to Mithras For over three hundred years the rulers of the Roman Empire worshipped the god Mithras. Known throughout Europe and Asia by the names Mithra, Mitra, Meitros, Mihr, Mehr, and Meher, the veneration of this god began some 4000 years ago in Persia, where it was soon imbedded with Babylonian doctrines. The faith spread east through India to China, and reached west throughout the entire length of the Roman frontier; from Scotland to the Sahara Desert, and from Spain to the Black Sea. Sites of Mithraic worship have been found in Britain , Italy, Romania, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria

The chaplains are trained clergy who provide ministerial care to the entire criminal justice community. They encourage offenders to stay in touch with their particular faith by offering pastoral counsel and guidance. Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Christian Non-Roman Catholic, and Native American faiths are represented. Other religions may be served by faith group volunteers. News about religious programs is posted on facility bulletin boards. Offenders who are unable to attend scheduled religious services, because of illness or disciplinary reasons, are visited on a regular basis by unit chaplains and approved religious volunteers. Offenders should direct emergency inquiries concerning their families to the facility chaplain. Other inquiries should be addressed to the Warden.

105. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Religious Indifferentism The term given, in general, to all those theories, which, for one reason or another, deny that it is the duty of man to worship God by believing and practicing the one true religion. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07759a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... I > Religious Indifferentism A B C D ... Z Religious Indifferentism The term given, in general, to all those theories, which, for one reason or another, deny that it is the duty of man to worship God by believing and practicing the one true religion. This religious Indifferentism is to be distinguished from political indifferentism, which is applied to the policy of a state that treats all the religions within its borders as being on an equal footing before the law of the country. Indifferentism is not to be confounded with religious indifference. The former is primarily a theory disparaging the value of religion; the latter term designates the conduct of those who, whether they do or do not believe in the necessity and utility of religion, do in fact neglect to fulfil its duties. I. ABSOLUTE INDIFFERENTISM Under the above general definition come those philosophic systems which reject the ultimate foundation of all religion, that is, man's acknowledgment of his dependence on a personal creator, whom, in consequence of this dependence, he is bound to reverence, obey, and love. This error is common to all atheistic , materialistic, pantheistic, and agnostic philosophies. If there is no

General Religious Studies Resources on the Internet If this is your first visit to this page or if you are unfamiliar with what the Internet offers in the area of general resources in Religious Studies, please read the following information. Otherwise, you can go directly to the Internet links. There is a wide variety of resources on the Internet which deal with religion and Religious Studies. However, it is often very difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak; many of the resources which are associated with Religious Studies are actually intended for the religious adherent, rather than the scholar or student of religion. When all these resources are discarded, there are relatively few sites and documents on the Internet which address the topic of Religious Studies. Fortunately, some of these resources provide a very good examination and description of what is available on the Internet that would be of interest to scholars and students in Religious Studies. These resources are listed below, and should be consulted by students who are new to the Internet or who are unsure of where to locate Religious Studies resources on the Internet.

Z In religion, Brother Mary Joseph; Abbot and procurator-general of La Trappe, came of a noble and ancient family in Hungary; b. in Lyons, 14 Jan., 1772; d. at Rome, 15 March, 1848. Some historians wrongfully call in question both the place and date of his birth, as also his noble descent. Being of a fiery and chivalrous disposition, he took an active part in the struggles of the monarchies in Europe against the French Revolution , and rose to the rank of lieutenant-general. In 1808 he fell into the hands of Napoleon Gregory XVI EDMOND M. OBRECHT Transcribed by Gerald M. Knight The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume VI Nihil Obstat, September 1, 1909.

LAKOTA: VISION QUEST (CRYING FOR A VISION) For generations, the vision quest has been an extremely important part of Lakota life and ritual. Until recent times, all young men sought this experience, sometimes as young as 10 or 11 and never later than their early teens. Later in life, men would often return for another vision quest when seeking guidance in the affairs of life. Women would vision quest too, but not as regularly as men. The practice, though not as prevalent, has never been abandoned by the people and is still carried on today. Besides the young, who vision quest at the beginning of the path to adulthood, a person might choose to cry for a vision in order to better understand another vision they already had, or to prepare for the Sundance , or ask a favor from Wakan Tanka, or as a thank you to Wakan Tanka for gifts received or simply to realize a closeness with the Great Spirit When it is time for a vision quest, the seeker brings a pipe to a holy man to ask for help and counsel. If the holy man thinks this is a good idea and agrees to help, a day is set aside. Often times questors were accompanied by a holy man or guide, sometimes they went alone. On the day of the vision quest, the holy man and assistants go into the

Home TV Radio Talk ... A-Z Index FRIDAY 11th June 2004 Text Only Religion is a major factor of society. The presence or absence of religion affects a society's history, culture, art, laws, moral and ethical values, its propensity to go to war or be involved in civil war, and the faith, outlook and behaviour of its citizens. It is not possible to examine modern culture without including a look at religion. So what is the effect of religion on British society in the 21st Century?

Embassy Events Language Choose your country Home Norway in the UK Culture ... Consulate Edinburgh SEARCH Advanced search Religion in Norway Norway has an official Protestant State Church based on the Evangelical-Lutheran religion. Although there is no separation of Church and State, all inhabitants have the right to exercise their religion freely in accordance with a 1964 amendment to the Constitution. Nine out of ten ethnic Norwegians are members of the State Church of Norway. Norwegian religious expression is largely private; whereas most individuals state that religion is important to them, this is not generally expressed through active religious participation in organized communities. While roughly 88% of the population belong to the Church of Norway, only 10% attend church services or other Christianity-related meetings more than once a month. Some 5.9% of the population are members of other religious communities, while 6.2% do not belong to any religious community at all. The largest religious and life-stance communities outside the Church of Norway are the Humanist Movement, represented by the Norwegian Humanist Association (63 000), Islam (60 000), the Pentecostal Movement (45 000), the Roman Catholic Church (40 000 or more), the Evangelical-Lutheran free church (20 000), Methodists (13 000) and several lesser free churches. The conversion of Norway to Christianity started in around 1000 and was a result of contact with Christian Europe through a combination of trade ties and Viking raids. Missionary activities conducted by the Anglo-Saxon church as well as from Germany and Denmark also helped Christianity to gain prominence over the gods of traditional Norse mythology and S¡mi nature worship.
