end of each chapter. It required me to explain theological terms, concepts and view of each theologian in my own words. Another reading required for this course is called the Patron Saints for Postmoderns by Chris R. Armstrong, where I’ve learned about many Saints and contribution to the churches.

What Worship Is And What It Is Not. What is the true meaning of worshipping God? Is it intense emotional outpouring of an individual?

For the interethnic church experience, I went to St. George Serbian Orthodox Church in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. I attended with three of my friends Ashley, Cassandra, and Jennifer. My friends came along in order to gain the experience from the church with me. We all had different experiences, but we all felt glad that we went together and to the church.

days the power I crave is simply in acceptance. Acceptance from peers, friends, or family. On other, less agreeable days, the power I desire is in superiority, dominance, the power to make people listen to what you have to say.

At the convent, Marie struggles between wanting acceptance from the Sisters and desiring superiority

Railway Raju is a disarmingly corrupt tourist guide, who lives by his wits and falls in love with a beautiful dancer. More by chance than skill, he seduces her away from her husband, a lonely writer who is obsessed with local rock-carvings, and transforms her into a celebrity courted by wealthy and influential dignitaries wherever she performs. Raju makes and loses a fortune, finds himself in jail, and through a series of hilarious, ironic circumstances becomes one of India’s great holy men. He accepted
