Important Themes in Reviewing

Rituals embody tradition, embody the body, use words, and form communities.
L'Arche's 5 Principles of Humanity: Humans are sacred, evolve, mature, make responsible choices, and seek truth in self-acceptance.
Parables are stories, comparisons, contain crises, have endings, and illustrate God's kingdom.
5 Ways Christ acts in Culture: One view perceives Jesus as opposed to culture, needing separation. Another perspective suggests Jesus is comfortable with culture—and yet another view sees Jesus transcends and embodies culture. Finally, Jesus transforms culture.

Negative Issues of Globalization

Examples include slavery and job loss in diverse countries.
