Abstract:

The church has suffered much security challenges from people of opposing religious faith, who felt threatened by the unique presence of God, convincing miracles, dominating spirituality, unparalleled missionary spirit, as well as her particularistic doctrinal claims. The experience of Christians in the first few centuries of the Christian church was characterized by great persecutions. Also, Christian persecution in contemporary time is a serious challenge. Many faithful Christians who were unwilling to compromise their faith were martyred in the process in a most horrible manner. The current

How do we as Christians today learn about worship and church music?

Certainly, there are many different ways we answer that question: we study the Bible, we sing the words of the Scriptures, we read what theologians, worship leaders, and scholars of church music are writing today, we attend lectures and conferences by scholars and practitioners of church music.

Abstract:

The Nepali Church, with a rich history spanning 70 years, is the fruit of the tireless work of the Nepali Christians who joined the Western Christian missions when they came to Nepal in the 1950s. These partnerships emerged to ‘preach the gospel and build the global Church’. However, the missionaries found that they were unable to implement their mission of evangelism and Church planting, and instead, became involved in social development. While they focussed on social works, the Nepali Christians embraced the work of evangelism and built the Nepali Church. The divergence in mission objectives

Abstract:

The development of Christian morality takes a long journey which was started when the Church was born. There were many typical moral cases faced by the Church at each period of time. From one period to another one, moralists came out to solve the cases by giving the right assessment according to the Church’s way of life. A period which was well-known in the journey of Christian morality is the period of the Fathers of the Church. The principle of Christian morality is love which is based on the Gospel and the commandment of Jesus Christ. This was documented in Didache which was used by the Chr

Abstract:

If pastors, church leaders, or missionaries promote use of the trade language in Christian contexts in an area where a minority language is the language best understood by church members, the result may be a linguistically neglected segment of people within the Christian church. This assertion is supported by data from two case studies in northern Nigeria. Responses to an interview schedule administered in one ethnic group indicated that 21 percent of those who claimed to be Christians lacked knowledge of Jesus. Suggestions are made for expanded use of local languages in Christian contexts.

The development of secular institutions has led to the widespread assumption, even among Christians, that the Church is itself one more institution.

It is first of all the primordial fellowship of the body of Christ. Seen this way, a renewed emphasis is placed on the full distribution of ministries, in which every lay member bears a part.

Abstract:

The two major Protestant churches in Saxony-Anhalt, the Church Province of Saxony(Evangelische Kirche der Kirchenprovinz Sachsens[KPS])and the State Church of Anhalt(Landeskirche Anhalts[LKA]), undertook denazification processes against “compromised” pastors and church hierarchs after 1945. Where the Church Province faced secular criticism about “lenient” denazification, the Anhalt Church enjoyed state support, largely because it admitted political representatives to its review commission. Hierarchs in the KPS explained their leniency with reference to the resistance of Christians in the Third

Abstract:

Ethics are matters relating to the principles, morals, decency, inner feelings and tendencies of the human heart that are formed in the human environment itself. Christian ethics is based more on the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ who is an example and role model in life. Christian ethics is a response to divine grace. Christian ethics does not only talk about spiritual and church matters but also worldly matters. The sources of Christian Ethics are the Bible, God. Jesus Christ. The purpose of Christian ethics is to determine what is appropriate and inappropriate for Christians to do both

Abstract:

Singing is a tool used by Christians to worship. The song forms the attitude of its adherents by following the verses contained in the song. This paper aims to analyse the Kidung Jemaat song used by Christians in Indonesia using the lens of feminist theology. The dominance of the patriarchal concept causes an imbalance in relations between society and the church. The research was carried out by qualitative research, observing and carefully reading the poems used by the church in general, especially Kidung Jemaat. The study found that church hymns mention very little about women's stories, wher

Abstract:

This article investigates the possibility of the presence of the Church in the the public space through the presence of Christian persons in their various everyday spheres. By employing the dyadic understanding of abiding-and-go (Michael Gorman) and abiding-and-sending (the Generous Love document), I argue that Christians represent the whole church in their presence in the public space. In turn, by representing the whole church, Christians also make the Trinitarian communion present through their public engagement. As such, the church participates in God’s mission (missio Dei) both institution

Abstract:

Church financial demands has led to lack of trust among church leaders and their believers due to frequency of the financial demands from church members without accountability to the members. This has brought lack of trust among church leaders by followers hence reducing attendance of Christians in church and occasioned the creation of different churches by the members due to mistrust between each other. In the light of the above observations, the study calls for Church preachers to explicitly explain God’s word and bring their worshippers to knowledge of God. The church should start self-sust

Community lies at the heart of both church and school life in the Church of England. In some areas, church communities are sustained by families who choose to attend a particular church based on the quality of the church school in its parish. Many Voluntary Aided Church of England schools (church schools) give priority admission to parents on the basis of faith in the oversubscription criteria of their admission arrangements. While the Church stresses inclusiveness in its recommendations regarding admissions policies to church schools, where a church school is very popular and oversubscribed a

The construction of the New Yogyakarta International Airport required Palihan Javanese Christian Church to be relocated. Although it has been relocated, the new location of Palihan Javanese Christian Church remains very close to New Yogyakarta International Airport. The design of worship space at Palihan Javanese Christian Church then becomes a big challenge. Noise is one of the most challenging aspects for the success of the space design.

Abstract:

St. Paul is often referred to as the most important and creative figure in the history of the early Church, as is evident from his life, works, missionary journeys and general evangelizational legacy. He was, in fact, the leading missionary of that early Christianity. But most Christians may not be fully aware of these noble facts, as Paul was also really notorious for his earlier brutal persecution of the same Church. This article aims at bringing out the laudable merits and legacy of this great apostle which remain exemplary for all Christians, especially the Christian leaders, to this day –

For the first time, in the Vatican Council II (1962–65), the Catholic Church recognized non-Christian religions as entities that the Church should respect and with which Christians should enter into dialogue. Being on the same page, the World Council of Churches (WCC) affirms that from her initiation, the Church has been confessing that God is reconciling the world to Himself via His Son and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Again, the WCC holds that, throughout history, the Church has been seeking to apply the basics of her faith to concrete situations in which she has been finding

Abstract:

For Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki, the catechesis was in close relationship with the Church. The most appropriate place for the catechesis as the fundamental formation of Christians (adults, youth and children) is in the Church which is both the subject, goal and object of catechesis. Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki drew the concepts of the Church from studies by German-speaking authors, and above all from documents of the Second Vatican Council. For him, the Church was an intermediary of salvation, a universal sacrament of salvation, a mother, a temple of God, and most of all, a union of God's people,

The Chinese Christians refer to those who arrived in Surabaya from mainland China as Protestant Christians in the 1900s. They established the first Chinese church - the Tiong Hoa Kie Tok Kauw Hwee (THKTKH) in Surabaya. The THKTKH has become two independent synods, namely Gereja Kristus Tuhan (GKT, or the Church of Christ the Lord) and Gereja Kristen Abdiel (GKA, or the Abdiel Christian Church).

Though many Christian churches exist in Hong Kong, some who claim to be Christians are not members of churches, nor do they attend a Sunday service regularly. They identify as faithful but not religious. Some might even be pursuing advanced degrees in Christian studies. Why do they not join an institutional church then? Have they experienced trauma in institutional churches, and how do they process such issues? What do they hope for spiritually? Is there something in Christianity that cannot be replaced by secular spirituality which leads them to still claim to be Christians? In this article,

This paper considers how intentional Christian community in the spirit of the eighteenth-century Methodists that leverages insights from transformational learning theory offers contemporary Christians an opportunity for considering the small moments of everyday as important to faithful Christian discipleship.
