The distinction between sacred space and sacred time is sacred space is a certain place, physically, which is deemed sacred, but sacred time relates to a holiness which transcends space to deem a specific time sacred. While a Church or even a pool of water can be deemed a sacred place, a sacred time is specific to that allocated time. 3. No, I cannot name another retail business that is closed on Sunday like Chick-Fil-A. I'm not entirely sure why stores have shortened hours on Sunday, but I assume it is to provide time for Church attendence or to spend time with family. I don't think shortened hours are an inconvenience to customers because there are six other days to shop. Additionally, store owners have the right to determine their store

  • Italian Centre Shop Swot Analysis

    434 Words  | 1 Pages

    For the Italian Centre Shop their hours consist of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, and closed on Major holidays throughout the year (Spinelli, 2016). These hours compare to other grocery stores as they stay open 24/7. The hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. prevent individuals to finish their grocery shopping as they tend to work later hours. Usually, a grocery store would open earlier as well, so this averts consumers from going earlier in the day to pick up the needed necessities. Another weakness, that is looked upon to be difficult of the Italian Centre Shops’ consumers, is the parking. Especially for branch located in North Edmonton, this is seen to be problematic as there is an abundance of traffic which can be extremely hard to navigate

  • The Cosmological Argument and the Mystical Argument

    1119 Words  | 3 Pages

    The controversial topic involving the existence of God has been the pinnacle of endless discourse surrounding the concept of religion in the field of philosophy. However, two arguments proclaim themselves to be the “better” way of justifying the existence of God: The Cosmological Argument and the Mystical Argument. While both arguments attempt to enforce strict modus operandi of solidified reasoning, neither prove to be a better way of explaining the existence of God. The downfall of both these arguments rests on commitment of fallacies and lack of sufficient evidence, as a result sabotaging their validity in the field of philosophy and faith.

    “The Mammoth Cometh” by Nathaniel Rich in the New York Times is an article that details the prospect of “de-extinction” and how scientists within the community have been forming arguments about how to best begin understanding what new technologies are capable of. “De-extinction” is the term given to the process by which scientists can bring back extinct animals, such as the wolly mammoth or the great auk, through genetic engineering. In order to ground the analysis of “de-extinction”, the author focuses particularly on the life of Ben Novak, a scientist, who from a young age, showed an incredible passion for bringing back the passenger pigeon.

    The biggest downfall of Chick-fil-A is the fact that on Sundays they are never open. Chick-fil-A is family owned restaurant built on Christian beliefs that discontinues all business operations on Sundays. Others suggests that the fact that Chick-fil-A reserves a day out of the week for religious purposes over the temptations of monetary value is rare in the food industry and therefore is highly respected. Chick-fil-A has maintained its moral values that people have learned to appreciate, even though some groups boycott the practice.

  • Explaining Sacred Space in The Sacred & The Profane: A Nature of Religion by Mircea Eliade

    768 Words  | 2 Pages

    Space is something everyone experiences. However Eliade points out that different people have different reactions to the spatial aspect of the world. A profane man may experience space/spaces homogenously, “ no break qualitatively differentiates the various parts of its mass.” (pg. 22). For an example a profane man might classify a mall and church in the same way because he sees no religious value within them, but he then could regard a hospital sacred because that may be the place of his birth (in page 24 Eliade such sacredness is worthless). A religious man, on the other hand, could look at that same space, a mall and a church, and differentiate the sacred space, also known as the cosmos, from the profane space, also known as the chaos. In this case the religious man would classify the church as sacred place because it has some holy value and the mall as the profane space because it has no holy value at all. In clearer terms the the profane space is h...

Her name was Inam (انام) which mean Gift, present, or acts of kindness. There were two opposite doors for an entrance. The brother’s entrance placed them right in the lobby where your shoes are stored away until after the service. There were no steps for the brother to enter their sacred space.
