Semester 1.
Research...
Australia is a religiously diverse country and has no official religion.
Christianity is the predominant faith of Australia. According to the 2006 census, the largest religious denomination is Roman Catholicism, of which 25.8% of the population claimed affiliation. The next largest is the Anglican faith, at 18.7%. Members of other Christian denominations accounted for 19.4% of the population.
Minority religions practiced in Australia include Buddhism (2.1% of the population), Islam (1.7%), Hinduism (0.7%) and Judaism (0.4%). Two percent of the population stated a different religion, which includes Sikhism and Indigenous beliefs, and 18.7% claimed no religion, while 11.2% did not respond.
What is an example of a religious Symbol?
Research one (1) religious Symbol from one (1) of the religions below, there are 7 to choose from. You may work in pairs!
Put your name(s) next to the religion you will research below.

Roman Catholic- jarrod bowen
Start your work with a Title and Your Name: E.g. Islam - Shaun Morris.
Provide information that informs us of what the symbol represents to that religion and its importance to them...Jaiden - Hinduism:
Thus Om mystically embodies the essence of the entire universe.
This meaning is further deepened by the Indian philosophical belief
that God first created sound and the universe arose from it. As the
most sacred sound, Om is the root of the universe and everything that
exists and it continues to hold everything together.

Josh and Coen - Allah
It
is a known fact that every language has one or more terms that are used
in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the
case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the One true God. Nothing
else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows
its uniqueness when compared with the word god which can be made plural,
gods, or feminine, goddess. It is interesting to notice that Allah is
the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister
language of Arabic.

The
star and crescent is the best-known symbol used to represent Islam. The
symbol is not Muslim in origin, it was a polytheistic icon adopted
during the spread of Islam, and its use today is sometimes controversial
in the Muslim world. The crescent and star are often said to be Islamic
symbols, but historians say that they were the insignia of the Ottoman
Empire, not of Islam as a whole.

Kane Nathan Alex -
http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/history/b_lotus.htm
Lotuses are symbols of purity and 'spontaneous' generation and hence symbolize divine birth. According to the Lalitavistara,
'the spirit of the best of men is spotless, like the new lotus in the
[muddy] water which does not adhere to it', and, according to esoteric
Buddhism, the heart of the beings is like an unopened lotus.
Cody/johno- Christianity
Crucifix
The
Catholic faith's main symbol is the crucifix. A crucifix is a just a
regular cross that bears the image of Jesus being crucified. It also
symbolizes the release of the soul in death. Roman Catholic, Eastern
Orthodox, Coptic and other Oriental Orthodox, Anglican and Lutheran
Christians generally use the crucifix in public religious services.
They believe the crucifix is in keeping with Scripture, which states
that “we preach Christ crucified:

ashley and christina-
The
Star of David - It is the best known symbol of the Jewish faith. The
sign is based on the shape of Davids shield or the symbol on shield.Some
Kabbalists thought that the six points represented God's absolute rule
over the universe in all six directions: north, south, east, west, up
and down. They also believed that the triangles represented humanity’s
dual nature – good and evil – and that the star could be used as
protection against evil spirits.

Jarrod bowen
ALPHA AND OMEGA
These are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.
In
the book of revelation 22:13, Christ refers himself as the Alpha and
the Omega, that is the first and the last. Christ is the beginning and
the end of all creation. The Alpha and Omega symbols are used at various
times in the Church liturgical year.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Alpha_and_Omega_book.png
Zak
and Brodie : There isn't just one symbol, there are so many different
symbols from many different cultures from many many many many years ago.
It's not like christianity how they only have a cross.
http://www.aboriginalartonline.com/culture/symbols.php
isaac-
mitch- maddison-----The cross is the leading symbol in Anglicanism.
After a history of disputes and trends, Anglican churches today range
from austere to heavily ornamented with symbolic materials.the cross is
still a heavy symbol even though its used in christianity. http://www.patheos.com/Library/Anglican/Ritual-Worship-Devotion-Symbolism/Symbolism.html
Choose
another religion from the list that you have NOT researched yet, and
find a symbol that has NOT been mentioned already... If there is not a
symbol "variety" point out a differnt piece of information that is
important to that religion. SAME GROUPS.

The
menorah of 7 candles symbolizes the Burning Bush as God conversed with
Moses in Exodus. The 8 candle menorah also known as a Chanukkeah
symbolizes the miracle of the oil in the lamp of the temple, which was
supposed to last one day but instead lasting eight days after the defeat
of the Greeks by the Maccabees. This is celebrated during the festival
of Chanukkah.
http://www.hadavar.org/drupal/sites/default/files/images/templemenorah.jpg
Buddhism Zak and Brodie.
The
Dharma Wheel or Dharmacakra is the oldest symbol in Buddhism, going
back to the first sermon Guatama Buddha gave to his disciples in Deer
Park. It symbolizes basic Buddhist concepts such as the Noble Eightfold
Path and the Four Noble Truths. Buddhism is a world religion with many
different schools of thought, but the Dharma Wheel unites all Buddhists
http://www.ehow.com/about_5075022_meaning-dharma-wheel.html
cody/john Roman Catholic:
Vestments.
There are special clothes worn by the priest as a symbolic sign of the
importance of the events celebrated. Here are the main ones:
The
major vestment is the white gown called an Alb. The name derives from
the latin “albus” meaning white, and has the same derivation as the
word “albino’ meaning white. It is a white garment reminding us of our
Baptismal garment and that in Baptism each of us ‘put on Christ, like we
put on a new white garment.’
http://www.parishes.bne.catholic.net.au/maryborough/symbols.htm
Jaiden - islam:
The
particular eight-pointed star (or octogram) pictured here is unusual
in that it has multiple meanings, depending on context. The original
emblem of two overlapping squares, often with a circular ornament, is
called a rub el hisb (Arabic, quarter-group), an ornament
used to mark the end of passages in the Q’uran. This symbol, like all
symbols related to Islam, is not official nor heavily symbolic.
http://symboldictionary.net/?p=3106
ashley and christina- hinduism
Swastika:
The
Swastika symbol which look like the Nazi emblem, holds a great
religious significance for the Hindus. Swastika is a pictorial
character in the shape of a cross with branches bent at right angles
and facing in a clockwise direction. The word SWASTIKA stems from the
Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language and means 'being happy'. In India
the word is related to things of good fortune because it means being
happy. The cause of all life and all manifestations of life is
movement.
http://www.religious-symbols.net/hindu-symbols.html
Kane
Nathan Alex, Anglican Faith: Candles, on the other hand, are commonly
used in Anglican worship, symbolizing Christ as the light of humankind.

the thorn crown
http://kingsenglish.info/
When
Jesus was on trial for his life, the soldiers twisted thorns into a
makeshift crown and jammed it on his head (John 19:2). They hung a
purple robe on him and ridiculed him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews,"
while they punched and kicked him.
The soldiers did it to amuse
themselves, but the Gospels include this as a significant part of Jesus’
trial. I suspect that they include it because it has an ironic truth —
Jesus is the king, and yet his rule would be preceded by rejection,
ridicule and suffering. He has a crown of thorns because he is the ruler
of a world filled with pain, and as the king of this corrupt world, he
established his right to rule by experiencing pain himself. He was
crowned (given authority) with thorns (only through great pain).
-content/uploads/2011/10/crown-of-thorns.jpg
The crown of thorns represents the sin and suffering carried by the King of Christianity.
http://christianity.about.com/od/symbolspictures/ig/Christian-Symbols-Glossary/Crown-of-Thorns.htm
isaac-
maddison - mitch -----The Rainbow Serpent is also part of the beliefs
of Aboriginal people in other parts of Australia, but is best known from
Arnhem Land."The belief in the Rainbow Snake, a personification of
fertility, increase (richness in propoagation of plants and animals) and
rain, is common throughout Australia. its a popular symbol because of
its use in the dreamtime stories and is used as their symbol for the
creator.

Buddhist meditation is a form of mental concentration that leads ultimately to enlightenment and spiritual freedom. Meditation occupies a central place in all forms of Buddhism, but has developed characteristic variations in different Buddhist traditions.
http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/practices/meditation.htm
Islam - Josh Frew and c0c0: Pilgrimage: Also known as the Hajj, the pilgrimage is a physical and spiritual journey that every financially and physically able Muslim is expected to make at least once in their lifetime. Muslims travel to the holy city of Makkah, located in what is known today as Saudi Arabia, to perform the required rites of the pilgrimage. There, they are expected to spend their days in complete devotion to worship and to asking God for forgiveness and for anything else they wish to ask for. They also perform specific rituals, such as walking around the Kaaba, the black cube-shaped building located in Makkah.

Jaiden - Hinduism:
In Hinduism, rituals are always meant to inculcate feelings of devotion and to bring about the divine orientation of human life. As a part of his householders responsibilities, a devout Hindu is expected to perform certain rituals every day starting from morning till evening. These rituals include: making offerings to the gods, to all beings, and to the departed souls especially before partaking any food, showing hospitality to others and continuous remembrance of God through recitation of the Vedas or some holy scripture.
http://www.hinduwebsite.com/rituals.asp
Anglican Faith - Cody, John
Anglican rites are generally centered upon the worship of God and the receipt of God's grace or blessing. The two great sacraments of baptism and Holy Communion (or the "Eucharist" or "Lord's Supper") are primary in this regard. A sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. Baptism and Holy Communion are the "great" sacraments because they were instituted by Jesus Christ.
http://www.patheos.com/Library/Anglican/Ritual-Worship-Devotion-Symbolism/Rites-and-Ceremonies.html
Zak : Our relgion is jewism Jewish rituals (Jewish ritual objects, ceremonies, observances, customs, and traditions) are forefront and center throughout the Jewish life cycle and across the Jewish calendar year. In Judaism, rituals are not simply rites performed in a place of worship; Judaism's rituals and observances form the backbone of daily living and are central to the character and nature of a Jewish way of life.
Next task... If Australia was a religion... what would our rituals be????
Same people/groups, comment on my last sentence, explain why you believe it would be a ritual in you opinion.
Josh Frew and Coen Carius: ANZAC DAY because we remeber the people who payed the ultimate price, Australia Day, Ekka Week, Alchohol, BBQ. Everyone enjoys these cause it resembles who we are as an Austrlian.
Alex,Kane,Nathan- Food,eating australian things like vegemite,lamingtons and lamb. These are a ritual because these things are considerd apart of australian identity.

Lesson 1. Introduction to the class, Q. What is Religion to you? Q.How is your hobby or whatever different or the same to a religion?
Mr Morris.
Religion's of the world...
When we look around any large city in Australia we see differences: different coloured skins, different ways of dressing, different ways of acting. It seems that our world is made up of differences. We have welcomed many different groups of people into Australia, and they have brought their differences with them. Most Australians are proud of the fact that Australia is one of the most extensively multicultural societies in the world. This does not mean simply that Australians speak many different languages and come from many different countries. It also means that Australians practice many different religions. Australia prides itself on allowing the sort of religious freedom, which has produced this variety of religious and non-religious belief and practice.

This Blog is designed to scaffold the learning and information required
for students participating in St Columban's College Teacher Shaun Morris' Religion and Ethics Program.
In a nut shell, this blog will be used as a tool to connect with each other and share information and ideas for class tasks, Assessment Tasks, group and individual reflective purposes.
Posts will be posted to the blog that Religious and Ethic's students, their parents and a select few within the Columban's College Community can reply to with required or relevant information. This format is a way that students and our College Community can access information as well as reflect on progress and responsibilities in their own time or within class time at school. Teachers or students can upload comments, requests, questions and feedback that each participating student can respond to in an online learning environment completely tailored to the the Religion and Ethics Program expectations. This Blog will provide an area for students, their parents, and the wider College community to track progress and results.
As postings accumulate, so does a map of the students learning journey, this Blog can be used in future years as a reflective tool for students wishing to research a class task or as an example to future students interested in what the St Columban's Religion and Ethics tasks can offer, for ideas that worked or for areas that can be improved for future success.
The safety of our students is paramount; this blog will not be an open format. Students are invited as guests to contribute to the wall and comment on proceedings. St Columban's College Teacher Mr Morris will control access to the blog through the invitation of Senior schooling staff, teachers and students participating in this format. Apart from these invitees, no other person or organisation will be able to access the blogs material. The College's IT Department will work closely with the Mr Morris and the RE Cohort to maintain and continue to deliver and develop with trends and technology advances that will benefit this ever evolving E-Learning portfolio.
Participant’s Parents/Guardians are encouraged to view and comment on the learning journey, it is advised though that all postings be done in a respectful and appropriate manner. Any posts that offend or are detrimental to anyone associated to the school or participants will be removed and that account will be deleted from the blog permanently and information will be passed onto the necessary avenues for discipline or the authorities if necessary.
Finally, this is a forum that can be used to strengthen the knowledge and understanding of students, incorporating ICT’S into their learning environment is an ambition nationally for every school in this ever present global environment. We hope this format builds a foundation that can be built upon; thank you for taking part.
