Is there any way this can be shorter? Im slowly starting to panic atm

Hey haha no! No need to worry! You only need to know in basic terms what each mean. Your focus would be on how your depth studies illustrate this. So put simply:
SALVATION - The saving Grace of God, so essentially Christians were freed of their sins and have eternal life in heaven.
REVELATION - God revealing himself to us in any way (could link to Marriage in that the couple is a reflection of the Image of God - God reveals himself to us through the couple's love) > do you reckon this works Elyse (if you are reading this haha)
DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF CHRIST - Christ died for our sins. His unconditional love.
NATURE OF GOD AND THE TRINITY - Basically how we understand God as three persons in one. dont worry too much this one is hard to link. only to sign of the cross in baptism etc.
DIVINITY AND HUMANITY OF CHRIST - Honestly don't even worry, I personally wouldn't touch this one. But it is basically about how whether Jesus is divine or human.
Hope that helps! :) Don't stress too much! It's only important if it comes up and if so you only need to know 2 of these really!

Yeah. Can you send me it again I don't know which it is haha :) Only memorise word for word your quotes/scripture references! Other than that just make sure you know how to explain your points - there's no need to memorise this don't worry about that!
Essentially, for the 5 marker, just go through all dot points under Aboriginal spirituality and religion post 1945, so these:
• discuss how Aboriginal spirituality is
determined by the Dreaming
– kinship
– ceremonial life
– obligations to the land and people
• discuss the continuing effect of
dispossession on Aboriginal
spiritualities in relation to:
– separation from the land
– separation from kinship groups
– the Stolen Generations
• outline the importance of the following
for the Land Rights movement:
– Native Title
– Mabo
– Wik
• analyse the importance of the
Dreaming for the Land Rights
movement
• outline changing patterns of religious
adherence from 1945 to the present
using census data
• account for the present religious
landscape in Australia in relation to:
– Christianity as the major religious
tradition
– immigration
– denominational switching
– rise of New Age religions
– secularism
• describe the impact of Christian
ecumenical movements in Australia
– The National Council of Churches
– NSW Ecumenical Council
• evaluate the importance of interfaith
dialogue in multifaith Australia
• examine the relationship between
Aboriginal spiritualities and religious
traditions in the process of
Reconciliation
And see how much you can talk about :D

For short answers:
PRACTICE
Know how to describe it
Know the principal beliefs it expresses (3 is fine)
Know the importance for individual and community
ETHICS
Know teachings in general and how these impact lives of adherents
PERSON
Know their impact on the development and expression of your religion.
If you know generally how to answer these you will be fine :)

For the essay -
PRACTICE - Know individual/community significance
ETHICS - Know how ethical teachings guide adherents
PERSON - Know their impact/how they transformed your religion
And finally know a couple of ways you can tie 2/3 of them all together eg. through the principal beliefs I sent

All you need to know well is some scripture references! Just know all the general ideas for all those dot points and you will be fine :)

like refer to a practise, or ethics or school or thought/ significant person
Most likely it will ask specifically on either significant person, practice, ethics

I would say know the stats about how:
- Christianity has decreased
- No Religion has increased
- Other religions have increased eg. Hinduism and Islam
- Anglican church decreased
- Catholic Church decreased
All the stats are in the document I sent and the one Elyse kindly put up :)

Hey just wondering if the syllabus changed from 2012 or something because the essay questions asked in 2011 and previous years are really weird.
