The church architecture (1)
Modern churches integrate tradition with modernity and are cultural phenomena influenced by their time and place. Catholic church architecture displays duality between the material and transcendental, universalism through symbolic meanings, and continuity across different styles over the past 50 years. While styles have varied, their common feature is as integral elements of cultural space. This document discusses attributes of modern Catholic church architecture.

Lesson on the Basilica Church
The basilica originated as a public building in ancient Rome that was used for government business. After Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire under Constantine, older basilicas were redesigned as churches. The architectural design of the Christian basilica included a long nave flanked by side aisles separated by columns, and an apse at the front covered by a half-dome where the altar was located. Over time, elements like a courtyard, covered walkways, and wooden roofs were incorporated into basilica designs that spread across the Western and Eastern Roman Empires.

HISTORY: Early Christian Architecture
The early Christian architecture began in Rome and Constantinople in the early 4th century AD. With Christianity becoming the official state religion under Emperor Constantine, new church buildings were needed for worship. The most common church design was the basilica, adapted from Roman civic buildings. Two prominent early basilica churches were St. John Lateran in Rome (313-320 AD) and St. Peter's in Rome (333 AD), which had a nave and aisles topped by timber roofs. Alternative centralized plans like baptisteries were also sometimes used starting in the 5th century.

Catholic Church In Medieval Europe
The Catholic Church was the most powerful organization in medieval Europe. It claimed authority over both religious and secular matters. The Church's power came from its role as a representative of God, its integration into daily life, and its ability to determine salvation or damnation through excommunication. Over time, the Church grew wealthy through donations and inheritance of land, and preserved learning through clergy who were literate in Latin. However, corruption grew as the Church's wealth and power increased.

3. The painting came to represent existential dread and anxiety through its depiction of a figure with an agonized expression against a landscape with a tumultuous orange sky. It had a profound personal meaning for Munch related to his own mental anguish.
Humanism, Reformation and Counter- Reformation
Humanism began in the 15th century and focused on human potential and achievements. It revived interest in classical Greek and Roman culture. The invention of the printing press and support from wealthy patrons contributed to its spread. Martin Luther criticized the Catholic Church in 1517 and proposed doctrines like salvation through faith alone and scripture as the sole religious authority, sparking the Protestant Reformation. This led to religious wars until the 1555 Peace of Augsburg allowed rulers to choose the religion of their lands. The Catholic Church responded with reforms and new orders like the Jesuits through the Counter-Reformation to strengthen traditional doctrines and address issues raised by Protestants.
Medieval art period in Poland
During the medieval period in Poland, Slavic tribes like the Polanians and Vistulans inhabited the territory and their culture was based on polytheistic beliefs and nature worship. As Poland became a Christian civilization in the 10th century under rulers like Mieszko I, Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles emerged in buildings like churches. Applied arts flourished during this time as seen in manuscripts, embroidery, furniture and other artifacts while Polish cuisine centered around grains, meats and seasonal foods. Major monuments from this era still standing include Malbork Castle and the Gdansk crane.
A brief history of spirituality
The document discusses the history of spirituality in Europe between 1150-1450 CE. Key developments included the Gregorian reforms which aimed to purify the church but failed to satisfy people, leading to dissident movements. The Vita Evangelica expressed a fervent spirituality imitating Jesus and was expressed through mendicant groups like Franciscans. This contributed to urban revival and the growth of cities, where cathedrals fostered aspirations of community and a vision of heavenly splendor. New spiritual communities and orders of preachers emerged, including the Dominicans and Beguines, engaging in preaching, teaching, and ministering to the poor.

第四課 - 宗教改革：對社會與文明的廣泛影響 (Lesson 4 - Reformation & Effects)
This document provides background information on the Protestant Reformation and its impacts. It discusses figures prior to Luther who criticized corruption in the Catholic Church, including John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and Girolamo Savonarola. It then covers Luther's religious struggles that led him to question Catholic doctrine on salvation. It also mentions growing German nationalism that contributed to the success of the Reformation. Finally, it discusses the selling of indulgences by the Catholic Church, which was one of the events that prompted Luther to publish his 95 Theses criticizing the practice.
Chapter 8 Section 3 Notes
During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church worked to spread Christianity across Europe. Pope Gregory sent Augustine to convert the Anglo-Saxons in England in 597. Local parish priests administered sacraments, preached, and offered guidance to villagers. Monasteries and convents provided services like hospitals, schools, and copying ancient texts to preserve knowledge. The Church gained political power and influence over daily life through tithing, holidays, and canon law. Reformers like Francis of Assisi sought to return to a life of poverty and service to the poor.
Methodism in Europe
This document provides an overview of Methodism in Europe, describing its history and current status in different countries. Some key points:

The protestant reformation
The Protestant Reformation began in 1517 when Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses criticizing corrupt practices in the Catholic Church. Luther argued that salvation came through faith alone, not good works or sacraments as the Church taught. When Luther refused to recant his writings, he was excommunicated and started the Lutheran Protestant movement. Other reformers like Calvin and Henry VIII also broke from Catholicism, founding new denominations with beliefs like predestination and establishing national churches. The printing press helped spread new Protestant ideas across Europe and challenged the Catholic Church's authority.
blessed virgin of mount altino.docx
1) In 1496, the Virgin Mary appeared to a poor father in Lombardy, Italy and told him to strike a rock, from which fresh spring water began to flow to quench his children's thirst.
2) Local Catholic laypeople accepted the miracle and built a small chapel at the site, which was later expanded into the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Altino.
3) Over centuries the sanctuary buildings were enlarged and remodeled, though the spring water from the original apparition site remains accessible to pilgrims.
The medieval church
By the 4th century, Christianity had become dominant in the Roman Empire and the Church played an increasing role in the new European civilization. Local parishes were led by priests and bishops, and people demonstrated their faith by building magnificent Gothic cathedrals between the 11th-12th centuries, featuring pointed arches, stained glass windows, and sculptures. The Pope grew in power and established the Roman Catholic Church and its laws, wielding authority over kings. Monks lived dedicated religious lives in monasteries and played an important social role through missionary work, education, medicine, and agriculture.
Religions in Hungary
- Hungary has been home to many religions throughout its history due to its central location in Europe, including ancient Hungarian religions, shamanism, Christianity, Protestantism, Judaism, and Islam.
- Christianity became the dominant religion in Hungary beginning in the 10th century when King Stephen I converted the population and established the church.
- Today, around three-quarters of Hungarians identify as Christian, most belonging to the Catholic or Protestant denominations, though other religions including Judaism and Buddhism also have a presence in the country.
Church in the Early Middle Ages
The Roman Catholic Church grew in importance and became the central unifying institution in Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. The Church spread Christianity through missionary work, brought Roman culture to Germanic tribes, and served important social, political, and religious roles for people during the Middle Ages. Church scholars in monasteries preserved classical literature and laid the foundations for later universities in Europe.
The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Ogtong (Oton), Iloilo, One of the ...
The original Chapel was built in Ogtong as it was then called in late 1566 by Friar Martin Rada. It was subsequently destroyed by a Dutch Raiding Party in 1614. The Church was rebuilt several times until the Mid-1860s when the largest, most ornate Church was consecreated in Oton. It was a veritable treasure that survived the Revolution and World War II and was unfortunately destroyed by the Lady CayCay Earthquake in January 1948. The quake was measured at 9.0 on the Richter Scale and it destroyed or levelled most of the buildings in the area. The Church was eventually rebuilt and finally consecrated in late 1966. That is the Church we see today!

Traditional Greek dances are diverse, varying between regions and villages due to different climates, lifestyles, and historical events. Some of the most well-known pan-Hellenic dances include the Syrtos, Tsamikos, and Balos.

Dance is used to transmit culture, history, and emotions and bring people together for important occasions.
Greek Cuisine.pdf
Greeks approach food and meals as a social experience rather than just sustenance. Meals are leisurely affairs that can last for hours. A typical Greek meal starts with mezedes, which are small plates of appetizers to share family style. The cuisine emphasizes fresh, local ingredients like olive oil, bread, tomatoes, cheese, seafood and herbs rather than heavy sauces or exotic spices. While traditional Greek cuisine has evolved over time, it still focuses on simple preparations that allow the natural flavors to shine through. Modern Greek chefs now experiment with traditional recipes and ingredients to develop new fusion styles of cooking.
FOOD IN GREECE.pdf
Greek food culture revolves around sharing meals with others. It is an important part of bonding and socializing. Two staples of Greek cuisine are olive oil and feta cheese, which are used extensively in cooking and considered essential ingredients. Greek meals typically include several small dishes that are shared by all, consisting of fresh vegetables, pulses, nuts, yogurt, cheeses, grains, fish and small amounts of meat. Dining out is a social event where meals last for hours, reflecting the ancient Greek tradition of symposia gatherings. While meals are usually late, sometimes not until after 9pm, Greeks may have a snack in the morning and lunch around 2pm.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
