Going through the Eastern Spirituality section I was annoyed that it doesn't appear to have been proofread, but there's something worse on p.20
"Shinto priests - called miko - revere the spirits of their ancestors. Miko are traditionally, but not always, female" No, there was no period at the end of that sentence, but that's not the real problems of that description. If I were to describe Catholicism with the same level of accuracy, I'd have to say - "Catholic priests - called nuns - revere the saints. Nuns are traditionally, but not always, female" Tiny amounts of research will show that Shinto Priests are kannushi, that Shinto priests also revere kami (much like Catholic priests also revere God), and that the miko as shrine maidens are always female. |
