This Sunday: special double baptism (son & dad)

True?    I believe there is an important distinction to be made between religion and spirituality. Religion I take to be concerned with belief in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition or another–an aspect of which is acceptance of some form of meta-physical or philosophical reality, including perhaps an idea of heaven or hell. Connected with this are religious teachings or dogma, ritual, prayers and so on. Spirituality I take to be concerned with those qualities of the human spirit–such as love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony, which bring happiness to both self and others.

Acts 2:   Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

1 Corinthians 12:To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

John 14:  The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you."

Of course there's a lot of knowledge in  universities. The freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don't take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.

  Assumption Hall, Spring Hill College, the Jesuit students' residence.  I lived there 1962-1965 with ca. 150 fellow Jesuits.  It has been torn down and replaced with a colony of attractive student apartments.   Did the college not want to make  it a historical monument??
