Check out this video and comment on what you think about it. Are these manifestations of Sacred Power? Why or why not?
Which academic discipline (Phenomenology, sociology, anthropology, history or psychology) would you use to to an analysis of this group or these practices?
Watch closely the man in the suit 22 seconds into the video. Does he go up or down at first?
Have you ever experienced anything like this?
Compare what you see in this video with some of the miracles of Jesus. What is similar? What is different?
Luke 5:12-15 (pay special attention to 14 "tell no one")
Luke 8:49-56 (also notice verse 56 - "he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened")
Matthew 9:27-31 (again, read verse 30 - "Jesus warned them sternly 'See that no one knows about this'")
Are there any ethical guidelines to how sacred power should be used? What are the dangers of sacred power?

The Greek gods and goddesses
(left: Zeus)
hi class,
I am preparing to teach an online course in Spanish on Greek and Roman religion. I found a cool website with descriptions of the Greek gods and goddesses if you are interested; I know this is not exactly part of our course (REL2011) but some of you might find it interesting.

There are actually three different (or even more) kinds of Greek gods, the Titans, the Olypmpians and the Greek Heroes.
