- Sacred
-
1) The idea of the ‘sacred’ is common to all religions. It is associated with what is regarded as specially set aside as ‘holy’. The sacred is invested with respect and reverence. It can refer to a church as a ‘sacred space’ or to scripture or to the ministry of the church. Anything set aside for God is considered to be ‘sacred’ as opposed to ‘secular’.
