/morsl/taxonomy/term/163/all en /morsl/article/radix/meditating-music <p>Perfect and pure meditation, I suppose, would require no noise at all, or at least a complete <em>tuning out</em> of the noise. But for those of use who need a little help centring ourselves, focussing, concentrating, or zoning out into a meditative-<em>like</em> state, sometimes music can help. And some music is better than others.</p> Wed, 01 Feb 2023 21:30:06 +0000 Krissy Keech 2476 at /morsl /morsl/channels/news/now-accepting-submissions-winter-2023-issue-radix-344375 <p>How do you forgive a loved one? A stranger? Yourself? Is restoration always the best solution when something is broken? Where can we find beauty in brokenness, and brokenness in beauty? How do connections with each other help us grow and heal, individually and as a community? How can we nurture resilience in ourselves and in each other? What do our religious traditions and spiritual intuitions say about these questions? </p> Fri, 16 Dec 2022 17:33:55 +0000 sophia.penner@mail.mcgill.ca 2415 at /morsl /morsl/article/holidays-and-holy-days-radix/little-things <p>As another holiday season arrives, I take the time to reflect on what it means to me. I celebrate Christmas. My family is Catholic, but I'm not. I don't know what I believe religiously. All I know is that I love Christmas.</p> Tue, 29 Nov 2022 21:19:48 +0000 Emily Miller 2407 at /morsl /morsl/article/interfaith-dialogue/600-years-dialogue-sikh-perspective <p>It is interesting that the idea of interfaith dialogue is coming to the forefront now. People are just realizing what it is and acknowledging its tributes. What more people don't know is that the idea of interfaith dialogue and tolerance is an ancient concept. For Sikhs, it goes back to the 15th century, when Guru Nanak, the first prophet of Sikhism, promoted a lifestyle of love, humility, and respect. This lifestyle evolved into an ideology that revolutionized the eastern hemisphere and captured the hearts of many.</p> Thu, 17 Nov 2022 21:35:00 +0000 Raveeta Seetal 2395 at /morsl /morsl/channels/news/deadline-extended-apply-2022-23-radix-magazine-board-342700 <p>Would you like to gain experiences in publishing, editing, publicity, events planning, or design?

In many instances, advancement in today's modern world becomes a domineering focus in many aspects of life. Religion and faith seem to have little place in the academic struggle, as religious principles may seemingly hinder the attainment of one's goals. However, the creation of a medium between faith and academic pursuits may be more fulfilling in the long run.</p> Thu, 24 Nov 2022 18:23:19 +0000 Gurinder Samrai 2400 at /morsl /morsl/article/interfaith-dialogue/water-and-judaism-living-prayer <p>There is a deluge of references to water in the Jewish Bible: water purifies; water is punishment; water is salvation; Divine wisdom will cover the earth like water. Total immersion in a properly prepared pool of water, a mikvah, is part of the conversion process. Some Jewish men immerse in a mikvah every day, some women once a month.</p> Thu, 24 Nov 2022 20:03:16 +0000 Rabbi Sammy Jackman 2401 at /morsl /morsl/channels/news/latest-radix-issue-hits-stands-apocalypse-and-rebirth-338973 <p>MORSL and the <em>Radix</em> Advisory Board are proud to present the Winter-Spring 2022 edition of<a href="/morsl/students/radix"> <em>Radix</em> </a>magazine, "Apocalypse and Rebirth."</p> Thu, 07 Apr 2022 20:01:07 +0000 carlene.gardner@mcgill.ca 2279 at /morsl /morsl/channels/event/radix-art-show-and-vernissage-mac-338461 <p>From our past and present students, see unique art produced for Radix magazine in this tabletop vernissage at Mac!</p> Wed, 16 Mar 2022 19:13:05 +0000 carlene.gardner@mcgill.ca 2268 at /morsl /morsl/channels/event/social-and-student-art-show-338463 <p>Join MORSL in our pop-up art gallery to enjoy snacks and social time with others.

For example, there are places like Chidambaram, one of the most famous temples in South India dedicated to Siva, but there is also the Ganges River, which flows through hundreds of towns across India and is known by most on the Indian subcontinent as a holy river, ideal as a location for worship and purification.</p> Thu, 24 Nov 2022 20:47:31 +0000 Monica Farrell 2402 at /morsl /morsl/channels/event/online-radix-fall-2021-issue-launch-party-337094 <p>Did you know Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Office of Religious and spiritual life publishes a student magazine focused on enriching faith and spirituality, Radix Magazine?</p> Tue, 25 Jan 2022 19:18:21 +0000 carlene.gardner@mcgill.ca 2259 at /morsl /morsl/article/radix/dylan-hillerbrand <h3 style="text-align:center">Reflection</h3> <p style="text-align:center"> </p> Fri, 17 Dec 2021 16:34:14 +0000 Dylan Hillerbrand 2240 at /morsl /morsl/article/radix/darcy-wang <h3 style="text-align:center">One Tree, One World</h3> <p style="text-align:center"><img height="716" width="500" class="file-extra-large no-float" src="/morsl/files/morsl/styles/wysiwyg_extra_large/public/darcy-image-wood_2.jpg?itok=38GZIgL3" alt="" /></p> Fri, 17 Dec 2021 16:31:18 +0000 Darcy Wang 2239 at /morsl
