Today’s class (9\/13) was very helpful to me. While reading the material, I was
\nconfused, to say the least. When we split into groups and drew pictures to
\ndescribe the different sections we had read, it made a lot more sense. I now
\nunderstand what “sacred space” means; or the “axis mundi.”
\nBuilding a world around sacred spaces is very clear now that we have discussed
\nit in class. Things as simple as where families gather, how churches are
\norganized, and where the dead are buried, are just a few of the examples that
\nstood out to me. We all like familiarity and comfort. Christians especially,
\nlike to feel connected to heaven. I also found it interesting that sacrifice is
\nnecessary to maintain order. I never realized the truth in that before today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
