Evaluate the extent to which the primary influence of Christianity in Australia has been influenced by the interrelationsip between the physical and Cultural environment and the developement of Christianity in Australia.
I keep saying it and it doesn't sound like a question.
It seems redundant or self perpetuating, probably because both of those are long words (one of the is two words!) and so is the question. How would you go about answering this with regards to content and or structure?
Cheers in advance.
Its straight from the syllabus .: its correctly worded (though I do agree its a shocking question)
– the interrelationship between the Australian physical and cultural environment and the development of Christianity in Australia
ADDED NEXT BIT TO SHOW OTHER EXAMPLES
responses by some religious traditions to social change and initiatives in community development from 1901 to the present:
– ministry in rural and outback Australia
– the role of religious traditions in the labour movement, conscription, wars and the Great Depression
Do you have access to any of the textbooks?
or try the resources section here on BoS (the notes section)
Long answer short...it can be looked at in one of two ways (though really its one as per the wording of your question- two parts though)
1) How has the natural environment of Australia helped/hindered the spread of Christianity on Australia?
2)How has Christianity influenced 'culture' in Australia? and how has this culture depicted/represented Christianity?
ie its a nod to the tyranny of distance argument and how the various church groups overcame this issue.
Frustrating thing is that the syllabus goes on to list other areas that one could talk about (see above)
have a look at the notes and the wiki (I think I have put something in there on this)
