TO THINK ABOUT
Emerli Schlögl
There are people who feel ownership of the truth, so they try in every way to change the thinking of others.
This is what happened to the Portuguese during the colonization of Brazil. They brought their religion to Brazil, and forced many indigenous and black peoples to abandon their beliefs.
With this behavior, a great devaluation of the other happened and still happens.
Disrespect for individual freedom leaves deep marks of bitterness in dominated peoples.
This happens to all of us when we are not heard and respected in our way of living and believing.
If we are forced to change, to adopt a lifestyle that we don't like in order to be happier, we feel deep anger and we try to resist.
The world doesn't need more Catholics, more Buddhists, more Spiritists, more Evangelicals, more Umbanda. The world does need Catholics, Evangelicals, Buddhists, Spiritists, Umbanda practitioners who live their religion, and who share this world with people of other faiths, respecting each other and working together for the well-being of all.
ACTIVITY
From the text you read create acrostics with the highlighted words. Then socialize your production.
RELIGION
DIALOGUE
GOOD NEWS
“The good news is that, very close to the capital of Brazil, in a village of just over a thousand residents called the Alfa Area, Catholics and Evangelicals share the same temple.
In the beginning, the Sacred Heart Chapel of Jesus and Mary was only for Catholics. Evangelicals held their services in a small unoccupied house, but they had to abandon it. They were left without a temple. But for a little time.
Soon, the faith of evangelicals ended up being welcomed by the Catholic chapel. For three years, every Sunday has been like this: first Mass comes, and Catholics pray; when the mass is over, it is time for worship, and evangelicals pray, in the same place where mass was held before.
But what about the images of Catholic saints, which so many manifestations of intolerance have caused? Ah, evangelicals carefully collect the images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Immaculate Conception of Maria, Our Lady of Fátima and Our Lady of the Rosary, keep it very carefully in a small room, and begin the cult.
Catholics say that sharing the same roof with evangelicals has been a good fruit of religious dialogue, and that everyone is a Christian, and that the temple belongs to everyone.
Evangelicals thank – and tell: when Catholics have problems, they ask evangelicals to pray for them; and Catholics give back, praying for evangelicals.”

Generally speaking, for example, everything “inside the temple” is considered sacred because the temple is the territory of the sacred.
