Please keep these in mind as you read the section(s) on spirituality in "Native North America" over the weekend.
Spirituality -- spirit (not material) – feeling – experience – life and death – God, higher being – deepest values by which we live – soul – right and wrong – feelings, personal thoughts – more individual, your own code – human being – feelings – personal – beliefs – freedom of belief – individual faith – the way you go about it – how you feel – belief in something higher – about your soul – individual soul
Religion – personal belief – ritual – practice – set of beliefs – belief in a higher power, God – beliefs you’re brought up into – a code to live by – rules – group – what you grew up with, family background – practice – what your family does – how you show your beliefs – more distinct and defined -- belief in God – fundamental sets of beliefs and practices – devotions of faith – practicing your spirituality – belief in God
