Therefore there is a greater emphasis on the aspects. Examine how beliefs and their expression in other aspects of religion is intended to respond to the search for meaning - the Big Questions that come from the categories. Therefore there is a greater emphasis on the aspects.

WHAT’S NEW Beliefs Sacred stories Spaces, places, times and artefacts there are now nine aspects: Beliefs Sacred stories Spaces, places, times and artefacts Texts Rituals Symbols Social Structures Ethics Spiritual experiences

Connections between beliefs emphasised Religious beliefs related to the meaning of suffering are now studied Connections between beliefs emphasised At least two specific beliefs must be examined through ALL of the aspects. How the aspects engender and nurture meaning Overall an expectation of a deeper discussion of the expression of beliefs and their role in the search for meaning than in the past

An approach for Outcome 3.2 Produce a booklet on two categories / or on each category / with at least one significant belief that is fundamental to the tradition, covered in each.

An approach for the Roman Catholic Tradition Category: The relationship between human life and the rest of the natural world Belief: The belief in a Creator God I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. Nicene Creed

Watch a documentary to provide background information for students who have not studied any environmental science.(Perhaps Before the Flood) This will allow discussion of the shift in the theology of Creator God over time, examining the early Church, the Medieval period, the Enlightenment and post Vatican II

The expression of the belief in a Creator God in Sacred Stories In this section explore Genesis 1 and 2 Use biblical scholars and a range of exegetical studies on this section of the Bible. Key Questions: * What does this expression of the belief say about the relationship between humankind and the rest of creation? How is this belief expressed through the sacred stories?

The expression of the belief in a Creator God in ethics In this section provide a background on ethics using chapters 4, 5 and sections of 6 of the textbook, material on Catholic Social Teaching ( Caritas website) and then analyse Laudato Si and its links to the ethic of life. Key Questions: * What does this expression of the belief say about the relationship between humankind and the rest of creation? How is this belief expressed ethically? How does this expression of the belief in a Creator God engender and nurture meaning?

The expression of the belief in a Creator God in symbols In this section look at shifts in church architecture that reflect the shift to ecotheology: - The Las Piñas Nature Church, also known as the Mary Immaculate Parish Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Moonwalk Village, Talon V in Las Piñas, Metro Manila, Philippines, - Sagrada Familia Barcelona - Cathedral of Christ the Light (Oakland,California) http://faithandform.com/feature/the-architecture-of-eco-theology/ Key Questions
