Jonathan's biography
Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish author, clergyman, and satirist born in 1667 in Dublin, Ireland. He had a difficult childhood and schooling. He later worked as a secretary for Sir William Temple and entered the Anglican Church. As a clergyman in Ireland, he worked to improve conditions for the poor parishioners. However, he grew frustrated from not being promoted despite his talents. While he might have become a Bishop, Queen Anne objected due to doubts about his orthodoxy. He spent his last 30 years in gloom after losing political positions, and in his final years suffered from mental illness and stroke before his death in 1745.

Individual composers like Hildegard composed works for the church as well as morality plays integrating music.

The Renaissance period saw major developments in music between 1450-1600. It began in Italy and spread to northern Europe, inspired by achievements of ancient Greece and Rome. New attitudes emphasized humanism and education. Renaissance means "rebirth" - a revival of classical culture with a focus on human experience. Josquin Desprez was a pioneering composer of the Renaissance style, excelling in sacred motets.

It describes the difficult lives of peasants and serfs, with cold conditions, hard work, little food, and low life expectancy. Education was only available to the wealthy or religious leaders.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
