I wrote about how more Aboriginals are becoming christians now so they are losing their spirituality, also mentioned John Flynn!

It was the question that I feared most and it was in it >.>. I still don't understand Rainbow Spirit Theology so I didn't put it in. Lucky I dont need it anymore!

I put smoking ceremony, baler and coolamon shells, having mass outside of church eg in the bush with natural environment. Is that right? *shrugs*, very vague!

If we all put Rainbow Spirit Theology, it must be right, yeah?

I think I threw in something about the Uniting Church having bark paintings.

there are informal and formal methods

- studies of religion course in hsc - allow studying of aboriginal spirituality
- sydney 2000 olympics - showcasted aboriginal spirituality in the dances and etc to the rest of the world
- sydney 2000 olympics - set up a tent giving away "More than gold" pamplets on aboriginal spirituality.
- jubilie 2000
- use back paintings in churches, didgeridoos as music, holy bible translated into aboriginal dilects.

- Saibo Mabo - damper and coconut milk instead of bread and wine
- Elsie Heiss - performed Aboriginal dances at Randwick race course infront of the pope
- Matthew Gill - 14 stations of the cross with the turkey as JC
- Gloria Ship - when consecrated Aboriginal women smeared her in oche and she walked down the isle of the church through burning gum leaves.

ha, if I could think of all them in the exam I'd have been set!

I broke the influence into ritual and beliefs. For ritual I mentioned a couple of token things like 'smoking ceremony' and 'aboriginal artwork in churches' and for beliefs I talked about raised awareness of the importance of land/enviromentalism and had a little pope quote. I got the feeling they wanted us to mention specific denominations, I probably didn't cover this one too well. I'm hoping my pope quote gets me the marks! .... damn! should have written more crap for that one.

we had done this qs to death in class.... and i talked about the whole la parose church and salibo marbo and the olympics and the bible being translated in to aboriginal dialects...


i thought that paper was brilliant... im hoping for full marks... fingers crossed

and how great was te rites of passage... i knew it was going to be that question... it was similar to the one our school set for the trials which i did really well in so hopefully ill b right...

I thought it was influence on Christian denominations so didnt talk about olympics or school because that is secular.
The denominations thing threw me off, but i just mentioned that the Catholics support the intergration of Aboriginal and Christian beliefs and that the Pentacostalists are against it.

i did gloria shipp, sabo mabo, incorporation of dance art songs etc, rainbow spirit theology, Catholic Church appointing Aboriginal leaders or something, then i talked about how the influence is varied, depending on how many Aboriginals are in the denomination and in some churches there has been little or no influence.

yeah similar to me...i wrote a general thing about how they help[ christians understand the importance of sacredness of the land in relation to god etc. had a quote from someone about that...
then i put like that elsie heiss one...umm a quote from cardinal clancy about the importance of abs...umm and like formal things like national aboriginal and islander catholic council i think it was and similar ones, ab artwork in a church, ummm and a few more organisations...
it didnt seem too hard sounds like most of the ppl who wrote their answers shud do well for sure i think, but i dont know how they mark these things compared to our school.

with this question i wrote about how aborigines have been ordained and how they relate their dreaming stories to the creator God. i also reffered to the quote from the late pope when he toured aust. when he was in alice springs he said he was amazeds at how they treat the land and in turn it looks after them...he believes that christians should take on these principles bla bla bla
