Day 3 (Sept 6)

Today we considered our 'worldviews'. To get you thinking about this idea (as well as our 'purpose' in this life), we watched a Ted Talk by pastor Rick Warren. Click here to access the talk. The important information from the slides includes: Your Worldview (things to consider): Why do things happen the way they do? What is right, and what is wrong? What is your purpose in life? What brings meaning to your life? How do you view, or see, the world? What is Rick Warren’s Worldview? Do you agree with his Worldview? Can 2 people share the same worldview? What can happen when 2 people have very different worldviews? How does religion shape a person’s worldview? ‘Religion’ is a word we use quite often...But do we really know what it means? A working definition of religion: 1. A way of thinking, feeling, and acting. 2. Usually provides a devotion to something or someone. 3. Moves beyond what is known, to the supernatural and unknown. 4. Provides teachings that shape and guide behaviour. 5. Is shared by others and practiced and honoured within a religious community.
