Kip Redick Introduction
Welcome
to the Fall 2019 Sacred Communication/Journey blog page. As I have done
with this post, enter your name and a subject for the title of each
post. Blog entries
will be considered informal writing assignments and as such will be
graded more
in relation to content than style. Blog entries will contain questions
and
answers to questions, as well as reflections that relate to daily
classroom
discussions, completion of exercises, and reading assignments. Any
questions the
student has while reading or completing assignments should be written in
their
blog. Reflections may relate to connections the student makes between
discussions in this class and those in other classes, between arguments
raised
in the readings in this class and those raised in other classes or from
informal conversations. Students are encouraged to apply the ideas
learned in
this class to activities that take place outside of the class. These
applications make great reflections. The student should bring questions
from
the blog to class and ask those questions that were raised in specific
blog
entries. As those questions are addressed and answered in the classroom
discussions, the student should make note of the discussion and answers
within
subsequent blog entries. This class blog will reflect the quality of the
student’s daily classroom participation and completion of homework
assignments,
and will be graded with this in mind. The student may submit the blog
for
grading at several times during the course of the semester. The blog is
not the
same thing as a compilation of class lecture notes; it is the product of
written personal reflection related to the class. A good journal will
contain
at least 15 entries. At least 6 of the entries should be reflections on
the
connection between assigned essay reading and the required texts: 2 from
Landscapes of the Sacred and 2 from Image and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture and 2
from Phenomenology of Prayer. At least 3 of the entries should focus on an
outside reading, something not assigned as part of the class requirements. At least 2 of the entries will be the result
of the student’s experience of a natural setting, a visit during the semester. Finally, 4 of the entries will be centered on
a topic of the student’s choosing. Each journal entry should be dated and given
a title related to the subject of reflection.
