Extractions: LAW AND THE SACRED: LEGAL PROBLEMS OF TIME AND SPACE. We live in a society where both time and physical space are under relentless pressure. Common public time for leisure and religious practice has been greatly reduced, notably through the dismantling of the traditional British Sunday. On the other hand, private time to experience the sacred is becoming increasingly significant as an important human right, for example a right to time off work or school for religious observance. As common sacred time has shrunk, demands for sacred space have become more complex. There is a need for places where people may find quiet and spiritual refreshment at any time. Sites are sought for new and different places for worship and religious activity. Plans are made to expand and adapt old religious buildings. These proposals may be difficult to reconcile with planning law and with other modern public law systems. This interdisciplinary day conference was concerned with the relevance of the law in these areas, for providing opportunities which may enable people to find and experience a spiritual dimension to life. Sessions sought to examine relevant legal rules and principles in their practical application and to apply some theological insights.

Extractions: SACRED TIME by Jan Carlsson-Bull Rosh Hashanah September 6, 2002 We stand on the eve of the Days of Awe, Yamim Noraim , ten days, which illumine the Jewish calendar as a sacred time for reflection, prayer, and repentance. Tonight we observe Erev Rosh Hashanah, the eve of the beginning of the year 5763. Ten days hence we will observe Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. These Days of Awe commence with feasting and conclude with fasting. Such is the progression of the spiritual journey at the heart of what is also known as the High Holy Days. Rosh Hashanah is not just the beginning of a new year. It is a celebration of the beginning of the very Beginning of Creation itself. It is a time that matters profoundly to each of us whether we acknowledge it or not, just as God matters profoundly to each of us in whatever form we acknowledge, deny, or adapt the construct of God. We can all breathe more deeply when standing on a threshold of another chance afforded by a new year, by whatever markers that year is determined. And we can all sigh deeply when we consider that meditation, reflection, prayer, and repentance are needs that bind the human community. Of course I can never consider this holiday without calling forth the bond with my firstborn, whose very name is Shana. ‘You know, Mom," she said to me just a few days ago, "I know my name means ‘year’ and I always used to think, How boring to have a name that just means plain old year. But as I grow older, I love my name, because it calls to mind the cycle of seasons and time itself as a cycle. And I’m a woman; my bodily rhythms are cyclical. I love my name, Shana!"

For some religious peoplefor example, those who live in monasteriesnearly all time is sacred. Followers of Islam view all time as potentially sacred. For other religious people time is divided into the holy, and not yet holy.

It is intended as a companion to his earlier book, Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite , and is in accord with the regulations in the new Roman Missal In his Introduction, Monsignor Elliott discusses the significance of the Liturgical Year as an "instrument for catechesis and evangelization" and the importance of Sacred time. This introduction is published here with the permission of Ignatius Press . Editor Christians understand time in a different way from other people because of the Liturgical Year. We are drawn into a cycle that can become such a part of our lives that it determines how we understand the structure of each passing year.
Sacred Time: Sunday
Online Edition Vol. IV, No. 4 July / August 1998 sacred time SundayNew papal Letter Calls Catholics to Worship. by David Aaron Murray.
http://www.adoremus.org/sacred.htm

Extractions: New papal Letter Calls Catholics to Worship by David Aaron Murray The Holy Father's Apostolic letter reaffirming the need for Catholics to attend Sunday Mass, Dies Domini (The Day of the Lord), received extensive coverage in the world media surprisingly, since it is a restatement of fundamental truths of the faith. Most media accounts stressed potential conflict in the Holy Father's emphasis that Catholics have a grave obligation attend Sunday Mass, although this obligation is disregarded in many parts of the world. Readers of Dies Domini , though, will find it lyrical and beautiful part of the extended hymn of praise to God in all His works and actions that this pope's writings constitute. This letter says nearly everything that can be said about the importance of Sunday including how Christians should keep in mind the meaning of the day, even in leisure activities. The Holy Father brings these elements together in a spirit of praise and and expression of the genuine unity that exists in the Church. We find here no conflict between meal and sacrifice, between the People of God and the Church's hierarchy, between pre-and post-Vatican II, between Old Testament Sabbath and Christian Sunday, or between Christian joy and human joys. Instead, the pope's perspective shows that these elements are complementary. Most Catholics can surely agree with the Holy Father that the decoupling of Christian customs from civil society and the pressures of contemporary life, including overwork, are partly responsible for the decline in Sunday attendance at Mass.

P-I GRAPHIC Ramadan: A Primer (pdf format) But in the wake of terrorist attacks and the subsequent bombing in Afghanistan, Ramadan has been catapulted into the spotlight. Some commentators have suggested halting U.S.-led air strikes in Afghanistan amid concern that they would anger Muslims and weaken the support of Islamic partners in the coalition against terrorism. "One would certainly wish that the operation would not go on in Ramadan," Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said this month. "It will have definite negative effects around the Islamic world." For the 15,000 Muslims in the U.S. military, Ramadan will be celebrated as usual, even as their leaders continue to prosecute the war on terrorism. Many say they simply don't see a link between warfare and observance of their religion.
Ritual And Celebration In Pantheism

http://members.aol.com/Heraklit1/ritual.htm

Extractions: Ritual and ceremony are found in almost all the world's religions. Usually they celebrate seasons of the year, times of the agricultural cycle, transitions in human life, or days of significance in the history of nation or religion. They are usually symbolic, and follow fixed forms prescribed by tradition. Rituals have many functions. They cement the bonds of a society or community. They allay anxiety in a hostile universe. They provide the support of others for religious faith. But in most religions they also have more primitive and selfish goals, similar to magic. Prayer invokes the help of invisible beings. Sacrifice and offerings try to control fate or to ward off the anger of the god or gods. Communion tries to acquire some of the magical power of the deity. All ritual acts may be thought to help in achieving a favourable afterlife. Among the more sophisticated, ritual also has more noble functions: to remind people of their fundamental beliefs on a regular basis, and to acknowledge humility before the divine.

http://tarotcanada.tripod.com/SacredSpace.html

Extractions: (c) Bonnie Moss 2002-3 We all need space, we all need time to ourselves. In Exodus 3:15 - Word of God: When the Lord saw that Moses was coming closer, he called him from the middle of the bush and said: "Moses, Moses", he answered, "Yes, here I am" God said, "Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals because you are standing on holy ground." Indeed, one little corner, a fraction of time that you allow yourself can do wonders to your being, to get in touch with your inner self and give expression to your faith. A space that allows you to reflect on your life, on your day, on what tomorrow may bring. A small place where you can shed a tear, or breathe a sigh of relief, quieten a troubled mind or savor a few victories. It is a place to reflect and contemplate on what is important to you, to allow you to connect with your inner self , without interference, and in solitude. It could be as simple as a table top, a corner of the bedroom, a place just for you to enjoy few precious moments alone. No, it does not require a whole room, or many hours. Is there a small table top, a spot on the dresser, an isolated corner, an idle spot that collects clutter and dust? If you are on the road a lot, would you not want to carry something to evoke that feeling of connectedness? Joseph Campbell has this to say about sacred time, sacred space: You must have room or a certain hour of the day or so where you do not know what is in the morning paper. A place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are or might be.
The Sacred Place, The Sacred Time And The Sacred Human Being
The Sacred Place, the sacred time and the Sacred Human Being. By FatherRaed Abusahlia. The refuge of a large number of civilian citizens
http://www.lpj.org/Nonviolence/Raed/eng-article/Sanctuary.htm

Extractions: The Sacred Place, the Sacred Time and the Sacred Human Being By Father Raed Abusahlia The refuge of a large number of civilian citizens, among whom a few armed men, to the Church of the Nativity during the incursion of the city (by the Israel Defence Forces) stirred an international outcry that triggered a number of questions about the fact of seeking refuge in a place of worship for protection. I do not wish to trail, here, behind news reports, whose only aim is to highlight the thrilling, and the unusual with a view to draw universal attention. The question is much more important and deeper than we anticipate, therefore, I shall try to embark on the discussion of an idea that has long turned up over and over again in my mind. It is that of the sacred place, while leaving the concept of the sacred time aside, as I hope to lay a firm foundation for the idea of the sacred human being. When we use the word sacred (Haram in Arabic, the language of the land,) we mean to express respect due to a place or to a person because of the particular value of each, especially if that were related to a religious or divine importance or sanctity. The word also means protected, unassailable and inviolable or that which should be given special regard and extreme care. Haram, the word in Arabic, has the same meanings as in Latin languages as well. Therefore, we say el Haram el Sharif, The Noble Sanctuary, the sacred church and the sacred altar, and the Haram of the University meaning the inviolable campus, the Haram border areas, meaning no mans land as they remain inviolable and we name women as Hareem plural of Haram as they are protected and unassailable.
Eliade -- Sacred Time
Part Two sacred time. This cosmogony, although a spatial creation, also tookplace at a certain time. Hence, we find the notion of sacred time.
http://www.jcu.edu/bible/101/Readings/EliadeSacredTime.htm

Extractions: The creation of the world is the great cosmogonic paradigm, the most important thing the Gods ever did and the model for all which we should do. This cosmogony, although a spatial creation, also took place at a certain "time." Hence, we find the notion of sacred time . The term for sacred time is chairos , while the term for "normal" (profane, quotidian) time is chronos When the Gods created space, they also created time. First of all, time could not begin until those things which measure it came into existence; likewise when space disappears, it will be the end of time. This at first seems strange to us because we have separated time from space; we consult watches or calendars, not the sun or the moon, to gauge time. But if we think about it, we realize how closely the two are related. For example, a year is not 365 days; in fact, a year is almost six hours longer which is why there is need for an extra day every four years (leap year). A year is actually the time it takes the earth to orbit the sun. If, by some chance, that time were shortened by one week to 358 days and we did not alter the calendar, within a dozen years the first day of spring would fall on what is now the first day of winter. When you measure time by space, you see how much goes in cycles. Every day the sun rises, climbs into the sky, hits its peak, descends, sets, disappears, and then rises the next day. Every month the moon waxes and wanes; every year the earth goes through the cycle of the seasons. This led some traditional societies to speak of time itself as cyclical (e.g., Hindu culture). Eastern cultures in general are inclined toward this view of time.

Extractions: Prospective Members Membership Policy Rituals Invocations ... Connections Sacred Time Within that linear perception, most Pagans acknowledge that time spirals, having a quasi-cyclical nature. Rather than each experience moment being completely different from the ones before and the ones after, there are these moments form cyclical patterns. Yet, we do not experience exactly the same moments over and over. In nature, these are conceptualized by the cycles of birth, death and rebirth of each life, the yearly cycles of seasons or star-pattern change, the monthly cycles of lunar phases, and the daily cycles of day and night. We experience temporal cycles in our domestic lives, in our work lives, in our community/environmental relationships, and in our spiritual lives. Our bodies have daily, monthly, yearly, and international rhythms. Our challenge is to be observant of those cycles and learn to live in harmony with these cycles. One of the ways we can do this is by constructing a personal calendar of our own meaningful dates and daily, monthly, and seasonal indicators. We can do this in two parts:

As a result, it is easy to forget the meaning of the holidays. A time for stopping, calming and looking deeper becomes necessary. The first step toward preparing for the sacred time is to slow down. Find time during the day that is strictly personal and individual. Use the quiet time to calm down and refocus ones energy on values and family. Reevaluate what the holidays mean in relation to what is important and for what the sacred time ought to stand.

http://www.treeoflifejudaica.com/sacredtime.htm

Extractions: Jewish Denominations As with the cycles of our lives, the cycles of time are brought to a level holiness by an awareness of God's role in their creation. Jewish holidays fall within the context of a lunar calendar. Because the solar year is longer, every few years a leap year occurs, and an extra month is added, in order to keep the holidays at their proper season. The days begin at sunset, according to the Biblical account of Creation: "And there was evening, and there was morning; the first day" (Genesis 1:5). The following is a list in chronological order, beginning with the weekly holiday of Shabbat, then the monthly Rosh Chodesh, followed by the annual holidays. Among those annual holidays are those with origins in the Bible, such as Passover and Sukkot, those with origins in apocryphal works such as Purim and Hanukkah, and modern holidays related to the Holocaust and the State of Israel.

Sacred Time
LIVING IN sacred time Baiju Parthan. 5th century Christian saint St. Augustineonce remarked, What then, is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is.
http://www.geocities.com/stone_56/writing5.htm

Extractions: Baiju Parthan 5th century Christian saint St. Augustine once remarked, "What then, is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks me, I do not know what it is." Time, while it is the most familiar of all concepts used in the organisation of thought and action, also is the most elusive, escaping our attempts to pin it down in a simple, illuminating definition. The fact is we live in a world of 'becoming' where nothing ever stands still. But, in our personal experience of the world, we translate this flux into duration and continuity. It is evident that this derived sense of continuity is essential for maintaining the sensation of permanence in our individual selves and life within a constantly mutating world. It is no wonder then we have reams of metaphors and mythological narratives that reconstitute the abstract experience of time into tangibles that can be spoken about and shared among ourselves. The culmination of one millennium and the dawn of another is one such instance. An event that from the larger astronomical and cosmological perspective is hardly of any consequence but which within our historicised and mythologised time experience, assume a symbolic grandeur which is a direct reflection of our collective aspirations and fears regarding our own continuance and efflorescence.

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/3579/eliade.html

Extractions: In a thin volume about religious symbols and motifs, he introduces the idea of sacred time: time occupied by holy days, or spent in ritual. Within the logic of mythology, he explains, sacred time progresses independent of the flow of mundane time. At the end of a ritual, its time stops, and begins again only when the same ritual is begun once more. (Sound like Danny's experiences on the piano?) In this way, by immersing yourself in sacred activity, you are connecting to a time which is ALWAYS sacred, is never interrupted or profaned by day-to-day needs and weaknesses, and are in effect performing the identical ritual which you yourself, or generations before you have already performed, at the same time, adding to its intensity.
