Symbolization of WesBurlesque For my final research paper, I want to examine the concept of “WesBurlesque” through an ethnographic analysis of fieldwork I will conduct during the semester. Wesleyan has a very public identity around sexuality and sex and it is through performances like “WesBurlesque” Wesleyan exemplifies their comfort with the erotic. I will be interviewing people who are a part of the production, and people who enjoy the show to better understand why people are drawn to this event and what this social ritual means on a deeper more symbolic level for the student body at Wesleyan. I want to analyze what “WesBurlesque” symbolizes for the Wesleyan culture and what story does it tell about our campus culture?…

Alexander says, “the offering of bread and wine: life itself restored as sacrificial movement to God, a movement that unites us to Christ’s perfect Sacrifice and Self-Offering, that includes in it our whole life and the life of the whole world: the Eucharistic revealing the Church as the sacrament of offering.” (119) At this point, the new life begins, when we begin to sacrifice to God, and surrendering to His will and become obedient to His ministry. (128) Nonetheless, all of this could only be fully comprehended when looking at Baptism and only when looking at Baptism in the context of Pashca, because every time we celebrate a Baptism, we spiritually find ourselves on that great eve celebrating the Feast of…

Baptism allows us to unite with Christ through his death and resurrection and blesses us with the ability to live life as God intended us to live. As the title of chapter four implies, baptism is really the water of life. Through baptism we are granted a brand-new life and are accepted into Gods heart. Also, baptism allows us to never be alone because after we are baptized we are never alone, as Jesus then lives in us just as we live in Jesus. Even though when we are baptized become one with Jesus and God and are forgiven of our sins, that doesn’t mean that we have a pass to do whatever we want because we are forgiven.…

Baptism also represents the new birth, and without this second birth, we cannot enter the kingdom of God. In John 3:5, Jesus announced that “everyone must be born of water and the Spirit,” he is implying that those who is not baptized would not be able to enter God’s kingdom. Baptism also knew as an enlightenment by Christ (Ephesians 5:14). Galatians 3:27 show the image of baptism as a reclothing in Christ. This verse explained when we are baptized “into” Christ Jesus, we are considered to be clothed with…
A person I think that deserves a statue in his/her honor is, Jesus Christ. I think that Jesus should have a statue in his honor because he died for us, saved us, and watches over us every day. One reason that I think there should be a statue for him is that he died for us. He went through so much pain to save us from being sinners, although we still are. He carried the cross and suffered so much.…
