Abstract The Bibliothèque wallonne accommodates a church collection that is the result of distinct archival policies. Tracing the archival history of this collection reveals important shifts in its formation, accessibility, and usage. A travelling archive from 1578, it became a fixed church archive in 1777, and in 1852 was augmented by a separate Walloon Library, with both archives under the management of a Commission des Archives. In 1877, the Commission de l’ histoire des Églises wallonnes was established, whose goal was to write the history of the Walloon churches in the Netherlands, and collecting the necessary sources for doing so. In 1893, after the activities of both commissions were merged, the collections were combined to form what is now the Bibliothèque wallonne. Established primarily as a church archive, the collection is now mostly used for researching the history of the Walloon churches in the Netherlands.

On a September evening in 2005, the Kalamazoo, Michigan City Commission's poverty subcommittee held a public hearing in a church in one of the city's poorer areas. The purported goal was uncovering what city government could do to help economically vulnerable citizens. One commissioner asked what the city commission could do to "help you achieve the American dream." As another commissioner put it, "We're here to listen. You are the experts in your own lives."

Full textAbstract:
The Second Vatican Council, taking into account the modern needs of mankind, called for the mutual tolerance of denominations, reforms and compromise in church traditions and practices. This was a response to the practical life of the Ukrainian church in the diaspora. For the Eastern Churches (including the Ukrainian Catholic Church), the Council adopted a separate Decree "The Constitution for the Eastern Churches" 1, on the basis of which a conference of the UCP bishopric, led by the Supreme Archbishop Joseph Slipy, was convened on December 14, 1966 in Rome. It discussed a number of issues, including the case of Divine Liturgy, the liturgical language, the introduction of the Ukrainian spoken language, some reductions in the Service of God, and the reformation of church singing. It was for this purpose that the dioceses established Liturgical Commissions, in particular at the Chicago Department in the United States, which included the musicologist, composer, and musical culture activist of the Diaspora Myron Fedorov (1907-1993). One of the tasks of the commission was to preserve the traditional self-made singing, so that he "did not disappear, but he lived and developed under different kinds: single-handed, double-voiced or in choral works, which most would be out of the richness and beauty of our rite"

AbstractThis article is a case study in public theology, drawing on the author's experience as a member of the Church of England's Commission on Urban Life and Faith (CULF). Following in the footsteps of the seminal Archbishops' Commission on Urban Priority Areas (ACUPA) report, Faith in the City (1985), CULF aimed to evaluate the future of the urban church and its role in the local community, arguing that the impact of faith-based organizations constituted a major contribution to local community empowerment and well-being. CULF coined the term 'faithful capital' (after Robert Putnam's concept of 'social capital') to express the added value that people of faith contribute to their local communities, and called for wider debate around the question 'what makes a good city?' This article also scrutinizes the Commission's theological method, and in particular its attempt to model a form of 'theology from below'; and in the light of the Commission's findings, poses questions for the future of public theology.

This paper discusses the initiation of the church as part of the implementation of the Great Commission. The method used in this paper is a qualitative method with a literature approach. Planting churches is part of the Great Commission because the pioneers of the church implement the spread of the Gospel to the established congregations. If we trace the PB (New Agreement) and its historical records in determining the pioneering locations of the church, God and man played a role. From God's point of view, it is theological basis when Paul and Silas prayed, then the Holy Spirit gave instructions on where they should go (Acts 16: 4-12). While from humans, the apostles sent people to preach the Gospel in the designated areas. In this pioneering exercise in identifying culture, it requires the involvement of mentoring involved. In starting a new church planting, focus on the arrangement of faith to new converts as well as on the congregation that will join as members but take priority over discussing material matters.

Full textAbstract:
The missionary fulfillment of the Great Commission as applied to churches today. Mission shares the same principle in the Great Commission, which is to bring souls to salvation. In the text of the Great Commission, there are three important parts, namely salvation, development, and assignment. This great commission has been applied in various churches today, but the principles of the mission itself have not been fully understood by church members. By using descriptive qualitative methods, the writer can define the Great Commission and its objectives, then describe the principles of mission in the Great Commission in the study of Matthew 28: 19-20 and apply the mission in everyday life. A mission that has an agenda and objectives and mission principles from the text of the Great Commission, understands carefully the theological study of the Great Commission and knows the mission of God in the life of every believer, recognizes the mandate in the person and fulfills it. And the last, most important thing is how the church recognizes the problems in mission and strives to be a mission church that relies on God and is able to get through every challenge that exists in implementing its evangelistic mandate.

Pelaksanaan misi dari Amanat Agung yang diterapkan pada gereja-gereja masa kini. Misi memiliki prinsip yang sama dalam Amanat Agung, yaitu untuk membawa jiwa-jiwa kepada keselamatan. Dalam teks Amanat Agung terdapat tiga bagian penting, yaitu penyelamatan, pengembangan dan penugasan. Amanat Agung ini telah diterapkan di dalam berbagai gereja saat ini, hanya saja prinsip dari misi itu sendiri belum dipahami secara menyeluruh oleh anggota gereja. Dengan melalui metode kualitatif deskritif, penulis dapat mendeskritifkan Amanat Agung dan tujuannya, lalu menjabarkan prinsip misi Amanat Agung dalam kajian Matius 28: 19- 20 dan mengaplikasikan misi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Misi yang memiliki agenda tujuan dan prinsip- Prinsip misi dari teks Amanat Agung, memahami dengan seksama kajian teologis Amanat Agung serta mengenal misi Allah di dalam kehidupan setiap orang percaya, mengenal amanat dalam diri pribadi dan menunaikannya. Dan yang terakhir yang paling penting adalah bagaimana gereja mengenal masalah-masalah dalam misi serta berusaha menjadi gereja yang bermisi dengan bersandar Tuhan dan mampu melewati setiap tantangan yang ada dalam menerapkan mandat penginjilan.

Full textAbstract:
This article uses the history of the Ornaments Rubric in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century to explore the emergence of claims to self-governance within the Church of England in this period and the attempts by parliament to examine how independent the legal system of the church was from the secular state. First, it gives an overview of the history of the Ornaments Rubric in the various editions of the Book of Common Prayer and the Acts of Uniformity, presenting the legal uncertainty left by centuries of Prayer Book revision. It then explores how the Royal Commission into Ritualism (1867–70) and the Public Worship Regulation Act (1874) attempted to control Ritualist interpretations of the Ornaments Rubric through secular courts. Examining the failure of these attempts, it looks towards the Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Discipline (1904–6). Through the evidence given to the commission, it shows how the previous royal commission and the work of parliament and the courts had failed to stop the continuation of Ritualist belief in the church's independence from secular courts. Using the report of the royal commission, it shows how the commissioners attempted to build a via media between strict spiritual independence and complete parliamentary oversight.

Full textAbstract:
South African Christian churches have been widely recognised as major civil institutions that play a role in the provision of social services to complement the state effort. But the concern is there has been an increase in the number of disputes involving leadership succession in these churches that have had to be adjudicated by the civil courts in the last decade. These disputes impact on the governance, growth, reputation and sustainability of churches. The South African Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL Rights Commission) identifies weak or lack of effective succession planning in the governing policies of churches as the major cause of these disputes. Against this backdrop, this article analyses some specific cases to explore how church policies influence succession disputes in South African churches. It further explores how the courts engage and interpret the governance policies of churches in the resolution of these disputes. The article reveals that the findings of the CRL Rights Commission are justified. It observes that, among other issues, some churches lack effective and workable succession planning in their governing policies. The policies on leadership succession of these churches are poorly drafted, thereby creating significant lacunae and vacuums leading to conflicts. The article concludes by identifying some lessons that churches can learn from the judicial approach in the resolution of disputes in order to enhance the quality of church policies, thereby reducing their exposure to succession disputes.

The development and expansion of the church is a dream for many local churches. One of the most effective ways to develop or expand a local church is to do evangelism according to the great commission in Matthew 28: 19-20. To be able to move the congregation to carry out missionary activities missionary discipleship is needed. The article is a qualitative study of the significant influence of missionary discipleship on the expansion of the local church. By using a qualitative approach and descriptive method, the results obtained recommending the holding of missionary discipleship by the church to produce a congregation capable of carrying out the great commission of Jesus Christ.AbstrakPerkembangan dan perluasan gereja merupakan idaman bagi banyak gerejaa lokal.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores juridical aspects of the ecclesiology presented in the World Council of Churches' Faith and Order Commission Paper,The Church: Towards a Common Vision(2013). It does so in the context of systems of church law, order and polity in eight church families worldwide: Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Reformed, Presbyterian and Baptist.Common Visiondoes not explicitly consider church law, order and polity or its role in ecumenism. However, many themes treated inCommon Visionsurface in church regulatory systems. This study examines how these instruments articulate the ecclesiology found inCommon Vision(which as such, de facto, offers juridical as well as theological principles), translate these into norms of conduct and, in turn, generate unity in common action across the church families. Juridical similarities indicate that the churches share common principles and that their existence suggests the category ‘Christian law’. While dogmas may divide the churches of global Christianity, the profound similarities between their norms of conduct reveal that the laws of the faithful, whatever their various denominational affiliations, link Christians through common forms of action. For this reason, comparative church law should have a greater profile in ecumenism today.1

Поднимается проблема изученности наследия русской церковной архитектуры, которая напрямую связана с требованиями идентичности и практикой воссоздания утраченных памятников. Работа является первым историко-архитектурным исследованием Вознесенской церкви в Ливадии (1869-1876, разобрана в 1929, воссоздание начато в 2016). Обозначены черты, характерные для императорского искусства, присущие храмам Ливадии, архитектуре Владимирского собора в Херсонесе. Вознесенская церковь рассматривается в контексте становления византийского стиля в русской архитектуре эпохи историзма. Раскрывается история и символика названия Ливадия, методы и характер обращения архитекторов и заказчиков к традиции древних византийских и греческих храмов. Показаны основные этапы составления проекта и ход строительства Вознесенской церкви, приводятся данные об освящении храма и учреждении церковного причта. Публикуются проекты архитекторов И. А. Монигетти и А. Г. Венсана. Выдвигается гипотеза о создании Вознесенской церкви в Ливадии с опорой на образец кафоликона монастыря Осиос Лукас и памятники Афона. В основу изысканий положены вновь выявленные архивные материалы, проектные чертежи, рисунки, старые фотографии. In the article the author rises the problem of Russian church architectural heritage studies. This problem is directly linked to the practice and requirements of lost monuments’ identity restoration. This paper is the first historical and architectural study of the Church of the Ascension in Livadia (1869-1876, deconstructed in 1929, restoration began in 2016). The author highlights the characteristic features of the Imperial art common for Livadia churches and the architecture of Saint Vladimir Cathedral in Chersonese. The Church of the Ascension is analyzed in the context of the formation of Byzantine style in Russian architecture of the ageofhistoricism. The article explicates the history and the symbolism of Livadia name as well as the methods and the character of architects and commissioners’ use of Byzantine and Greek churches tradition. The author shows the main stages of project development and construction of the Church of the Ascension, brings data on the dedication of the church and on the church pricht establishing. The article features Monighetti’s and Vincent’s published projects. The author hypothesizes that the construction of the Church of the Ascension in Livadia was inspired by the catholicon of Hosios Loukas monastery and Athos monuments. The study is based on the newly discovered archive materials, project drafts, pictures, old photographs.

Ecumenical word-wide diaconia and the lessons we can learn from it Since 1948 the involvement of churches in ecumenical diaconia has become one of the most significant trends of modern church history. The most important agent of protestant Christianity in this field is the Commission of Inter-Church Aid, Refugee and World Service of the World Council of Churches (CICARWS). A brief look at the history of CICARWS shows that a shift of emphasis took place from charity to justice, from individual to community and from development to revolutionary changes of social, political and economic structures.

The sexual abuse crisis and subsequent Royal Commission investigation raised important ecclesiological and ecclesial issues for the Australian Catholic Church. This article provides background to the work of the Commission and explores four issues: the seal of the confessional; the notion of ontological change in ordination; the place of women in the church; and the authority of bishops. While no direct theological resolution of these is possible, these issues have been raised with pressing urgency.

Although much of the business of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland relates to legislation and debates of reports from committees, unlike the synods of episcopal churches the General Assembly is also a court, with exclusive jurisdiction in ‘matters spiritual’. However, under the terms of Act III 2001, as amended, disciplinary matters are investigated by a Presbyterial Commission and, in disputed cases, ultimately come before the Assembly's Judicial Commission. Cases before the General Assembly were once quite common; but for the 2009 Assembly to find themselves hearing a judicial dispute was very unusual indeed.

In this paper, Bishop Santer explores the issue of authority, which haunted English and European Church history in the early 16th century. The constant stresses between local, national and international interests frequently informed the rise of conflict, when these various interests were in tension. He goes on to discuss the difficulties that national Churches have experienced in subsequent history. Thomas More’s principles sought to provide an answer to the statement of the Nicene Creed “I believe in the Catholic Church”. Drawing from his experience on the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission, Bishop Santer considers that the questions posed by More are unavoidable in the quest for Church unity.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the theological, juridical, and pastoral context of Roman Catholic archives, and diocesan and parochial archives in particular, through the lens of a letter circulated by the Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Patrimony of the Church, The Pastoral Function of Church Archives. The letter acknowledges the spiritual importance of church archives for the believing community as a vector of the tradition but also recognizes the cultural and historical significance of church archives both for Catholics and the wider community. While the legal requirements of canon law are fundamental to the discussion, the commission invites the church to move beyond a narrow juridical understanding of archives. A convincing contribution to an emerging theology of church archives, with concrete suggestions for the establishment and improvement of diocesan archival services, the document constitutes a particular challenge to Irish dioceses where the archival sector remains underdeveloped.

Full textAbstract:
The Lambeth Commission (2004) proposed a number of short-term and long-term solutions to issues raised by recent and highly controversial developments in the Episcopal Church (USA) and the diocese of New Westminster (Canada). From these events have emerged important questions about the nature of communion between, and the autonomy of, each of the forty-four member churches of the Anglican Communion, and the way in which decisions of common concern are made. In order to consolidate this communion, as a long-term project, the Commission proposes the adoption of an Anglican Covenant by all forty-four churches of the Communion. This article describes the terms of the proposed Covenant and identifies their provenance, in order to establish that the proposal is for the most part a restatement of classical Anglicanism. Only in serious cases of disagreement which substantially risk the unity of the Communion is the proposal innovative. The article also describes briefly reactions to and possible implementation of the proposed Covenant.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper critiques the framing of the pneumatological underpinning of ecclesiology as an Orthodox-Catholic conversation. The context for the Joint Commission for Orthodox-Catholic dialogue warrants the use of the metaphor “two lungs of the church” by official church leaders, ecclesiologists and theologians to speak of the Spirit’s work in and between both communions. However, I want to call attention to the pneumatological and ecclesiological problems in the use of the image “two lungs of the church.” If the Holy Spirit breathes upon and through the Body of Christ, reading the Spirit’s operation in the church (pneumatological-ecclesiology) cannot ignore, and much less dismiss or absorb (either explicitly or implicitly), the charismas outside of the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodoxy. Protestant denominations, such as Baptists, Brethren, Evangelicals, Presbyterians, Pentecostals and Charismatics are also contexts for studying the Spirit’s work in the churches. The paper concludes by proffering a mapping of recent pneumatological contributions of other Christian denominations and churches to invite theologians to assist in reframing or reconceptualizing a more appropriate anatomic metaphor for the Spirit’s work in and among the churches together.

In October 1992 representatives of the British and Irish Anglican Churches, together with their counterparts from the Nordic and Baltic Lutheran Churches signed an historic agreement near Porvoo in Finland which, if accepted by all these churches, will bring about their closer communion. The Porvoo Common Statement and a supporting dossier of Essays on Church and Ministry in Northern Europe were published in 1993 (Together in Mission and Ministry, Church House Publishing, London). The Porvoo Common Statement is now being considered by the General Synod which will be asked to accept a core Joint Declaration. This begins by a mutual acknowledgement of each other's churches as part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. A second acknowledgement follows concerning the mutual presence of the Word of God and the Sacraments of baptism and the eucharist;then acknowledgements of the common confession of the apostolic faith and the ministry as both an instrument of grace and as having Christ's commission.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe London churches built by Nicholas Hawksmoor – the architect required by the Commission for the Fifty New Churches to provide a template for the new churches according to the principles laid down in 1712 – are often regarded as the idiosyncratic creations of the architect’s individual genius. They were, however, as much the creation of the particular intellectual, theological and political context of the late Stuart period, an expression of a high church attempt to reconnect the Church of England with the early centuries of the Christian Church, particularly the great basilicas built under Constantine and Justinian. Conservative in intent, they were at the same time fed by the new spirit of intellectual enquiry led by the Royal Society and the expansion of global trade at the start of the eighteenth century. These express a new Anglican denominational identity as the inheritor of the ‘purest’ traditions of the ‘primitive’ church, ancient yet modern, orthodox and, at the same time, reformed: one that still influences discussion across the Communion today.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractEcclesiology eventually imposed itself as the main theme of the international Methodist / Catholic dialogue by virtue of what have been from the beginning the differences in the respective self-understanding and ecclesial claims of the partners. Confessing that no ecclesiology shaped in a time of division is likely to be entirely satisfactory, the Joint Commission in its Nairobi Report of 1986 ('Towards a Statement on the Church') began exploring 'ways of being one Church' that might obtain in the case of reunion, and the goal of the Methodist / Catholic dialogue was formulated as 'full communion in faith, mission and sacramental life'; and so it has remained, although 'governance' should probably be added as a fourth element in communion. By the time of the Seoul Report of 2006 ('The Grace Given You in Christ: Catholics and Methodists Reflect Further on the Church'), the Commission decided to face head-on the need for 'a mutual reassessment' in the 'new context' set by the ecumenical movement: each partner would look at the other with the eye of faith for what could be discerned there as 'truly of Christ and of the Gospel and thereby of the Church'. The way was thus opened for an 'exchange of gifts' on the road to 'full communion'. The dialogue continues to confront long-standing questions on what may be called 'the instrumentality of grace' as the Joint Commission prepares a Report for Durban 2011 on 'Encountering Christ the Saviour: Church and Sacraments'. The classic Faith and Order themes of baptism, eucharist and ministry remain in need of full settlement, and an ecumenical confession of 'the faith of the Church' would be welcome. Meanwhile, the Joint Commission has produced – under the title 'Together to Holiness'- a thematic synthesis of the first eight rounds of dialogue (1967-2006).

The Charity Commission for England and Wales published an updated list of the questions to be included in the 2018 Annual Return for registered charities. The trustees of charities excepted from registration with the Commission – which include a considerable number of church congregations – are not required to submit an annual return; but an increasing number find that they must do so because when an excepted charity's annual income exceeds £100,000 it loses its excepted status. The previously expressed intention to require every charity trustee to provide an e-mail address has been abandoned; instead, the Commission intends to ask all trustees either to supply an e-mail address or to confirm that they do not have one – which looks very like a welcome climbdown. The Commission's on-line Annual Return Service opened for submissions on 20 August.

A relation between the state and catholic church in Poland was regulated in 1989 as a result of long negotiations between communist authorities and church representatives. The legislator could not disregard the issue of property lost by church, in particular the property lost during communist time. In post-communist period 1989 Law on State Relation to Catholic Church was to some extend amended to reflect the interests of the Church. The Law of 1989 provides for two ways of resolving the church property status. If a property remained in church legal person’s possession then, in cases described in Law of 1989, title to such property (right of ownership) is granted to that person. Another way is a return of lost church property in cases specified in Law of 1989. Decisions in that matter are issued by a body called Property Commission established only for that purpose which is composed of representatives of state and church according to equality rule. Legal status of the Property Commission, various circumstances in which church was deprived of title to property, conditions of restitution of church in ownership and property are presented in details in the article. The author compares Law of 1989 with similar legal regulations adopted for other denominations in the nineties. Earlier regulations connected with return of church property are also mentioned and discussed. Author indicates and explains constitutional issnes related to this regulation.

Habits and institutions gradually emerged in earliest Christianity. They were soon enrolled in the Roman empire and subsequently into various forms of Christendom. The English Christendom lasted many centuries and in the period of empire planted the Anglican Church in Australia. This Christendom model was fractured decisively in New South Wales in the first half of the nineteenth century. The recent Royal Commission into abuse in institutions has brought to light serious abuse in the Church and associated it with a form of clericalism. The Commission identifies this issue but does not offer any analysis of its character or causes, which has the effect of diminishing the contribution that the Commission might have made to addressing the problem. A preliminary attempt is offered in this article.

ABSTRACTFor more than twenty years the subject of authority has been in the forefront of discussions in the Anglican Communion and in ecumenical conversations. Authority in the Church was treated by the first Anglican Roman Catholic Commission. Both Communions recognized convergence in the Commission's reports but asked for further work. The most recent report, The Gift of Authority, is still being studied. It contains sharp challenges to both churches about their own exercise of authority. It is one thing to agree ideal statements about authority. It is quite another to move into visible unity with another church whose exercise of authority appears at odds with the ideal. If the two Communions can respond to these challenges then the suspicions that each has of the other will be alleviated and the move to visible unity made more possible. This article examines the content of the ARCIC reports and the challenges put to both Communions, arguing that there is much at stake in this conversation both for the internal life of the two Communions as well as for a life of communion in the future.

At the end of the 19th century archival commissions as historical societies began to work in the provinces of the Imperial state. The application about opening of Katerinoslav province scientific commission was prepared in 1902. It was signed by famous elective district council members, public figures, cultural and educational leaders. The society of historians, archivists, ethnographers, archeologists and specialists in regional studies worked in Katerinoslav in 1903?1916. The author shows history and activity of the library of a local society as a province centre of local lore history. The printed editions of the society called “Chronocles” (volumes I?X) which contain proceedings of the commission meetings were the main source of research. The library collected works on history, archeology, ethnography and historical geography of Katerinoslav province. From the beginning of the library foundation it played an important part in the development of the society. The members of the society paid great attention to forming of book collections on regional history. From the first years of its activity the commission constantly supported book exchange with other institutions and organizations which favoured the spreading of knowledge and exchanging of experience. The sources contain information about people who gladly gave necessary and useful literature to the commission. Professors, teachers of local educational institutions, museum workers, cultural and educational leaders of Ukraine were among the members of the commission. In 1910 the commission totaled 11 honoured and 54 full members. Local activists paid special attention to keeping of church archive. In particular, D. I. Yavornitsky defended the thought about studying of archival documents as written evidence on the history of Ukrainian people. The library collection according to its content, subject, and chronology is considered in the article; authors groups are analyzed. Donations from different organizations and private persons were a valuable source of supplement of the commission’s book stock. The members of the commission had the opportunity to work with scientific editions of Kharkiv, Lviv and Odessa universities. The article reveals the role of A. S. Sinyavsky, V. O. Bidnov and I. Y. Akinfiev in the process of formation of readers’ tastes, scientific interest and professional level of Katerinoslav inhabitants at the beginning of the 20th century. Library activists maintained an active position in the activity of the society. For the period of existence 6 surnames of persons who took an active part in the commission’s librarianship are known.

When the young Augustinian friar, Martin Luther, affixed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church on October 31, 1517, calling for the reform of the church, he could hardly have anticipated the succession of events that would lead to the division of Western Christendom. Luther had no intention of creating a “Lutheran” Church, nor could he have foreseen that his initiative would give rise to an ecclesial divide that would persist for half a millennium. The Second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism, which acknowledged the need for continual reform and renewal in the church, created the conditions for the Catholic Church to enter in earnest into a dialogue “on equal footing” with other Christian communities. The Lutheran-Catholic Commission on Unity, as it is known today, was established in 1967 and was the first commission for official bilateral dialogue. Thus, as we commemorate five hundred years since the Reformation, we also mark with gratitude fifty years of official dialogue and growth in communion.

The National Liturgical Architecture and Art Council (NLAAC) is an advisory body to the Bishops’ Commission for Liturgy of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, mandated to provide advice in the areas of liturgical architecture, art and heritage. The Council has prepared guidelines for use throughout the Catholic Church in Australia. The most recent of these documents, Fit for Sacred Use: Stewardship and Renewal of Places of Worship (2018) focusses on existing church buildings with particular reference to cultural heritage, and is the subject of this paper. Vatican II sought the full and active liturgical participation of all the people and so existing churches were reordered to foster inclusion. It is timely to consider questions around what constitutes our heritage and how it is valued. Fit for Sacred Use sets out the liturgical and heritage principles which are fundamental to conserving, renovating and reordering a church building. Its holistic approach considers how we renew our churches while honouring our heritage.

In recent years social work has increasingly focused on spirituality and religion as key elements of cultural competency. The Joint Commission—the nation's largest health care accrediting organization—as well as many other accrediting bodies require spiritual assessments in hospitals and many other mental health settings. Consequently, specific intervention strategies have been fostered in order to provide the most appropriate interventions for religious clients. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the fourth largest and one of the faster growing churches in the United States. In an effort to facilitate cultural competence with clients who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ, a brief spiritual assessment instrument was developed. This mixed-method study asked experts in Church culture (N = 100) to identify the degree of cultural consistency, strengths, and limitations of the brief spiritual assessment instrument. Results indicate that the framework is consistent with Church culture and a number of practice-oriented implications are offered.

One of the main areas of concern highlighted in the Faculty Jurisdiction Commission Report (C.I.O. 1984) was the need for clear public accountability by the Church for changes and alterations to its buildings. Whereas parish churches are covered by the faculty jurisdiction, no comparable mandatory system exists for cathedrals. In order to remedy that the FJC proposed changes. Chapter 8 recommended that the Cathedrals Advisory Commission should be placed on a statutory basis and that proposals by cathedral chapters should be referred to the CAC where they involved “any significant work or works to preserve, alter or add to the building or its contents which would materially affect the architectural, artistic, historical or archaeological character of the Cathedral.”

The GMIM Synod Youth Services Commission is part of the ministry of the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa in the Province of North Sulawesi. In its service under the auspices of the Evangelical Christian Church in Minahasa (GMIM) the Youth Services Commission specializes in providing services to teenagers aged 12-16 years according to the administration of the GMIM church. With the current technology, the GMIM Synod Youth Services Commission has developed a sistem to assist the implementation of each activity or program implemented in the form of an Integrated Activity Information Sistem (SIKAT). The development of this Information Sistem has not been widely known by adolescents and youth coaches so that in practice there are still congregations or coaches who have not used this sistem. Therefore, the development of this information sistem needs to be followed by training on how to use an integrated activity information sistem (SIKAT), so that in the implementation of the GMIM Synod Youth activities all can be recorded properly through the sistem that has been built. Activity Output: Integrated Information Sistem Application for GMIM Synod Teens.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally scholars distinguish English Anglican cathedrals of ‘old’ foundation and those of ‘new’, but since Henry VIII a further category has arisen comprising those established in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to serve newly created dioceses. These are often referred to as parish-church cathedrals because they mostly remained parish churches even after their elevation. Their new status raised various architectual and organisational problems, and this essay concentrates on the latter, illustrating them with select examples. These problems deserve examination because there is little recent literature on them and some passing references may tend to mislead.Two events define the period. In 1836 the first modern parish-church cathedral was created at Ripon. In 1931 the Cathedrals Measure provided for revision of all cathedral statutes within general guidelines, the outcome of a commission of enquiry which Church Assembly had launched in 1924 and which had reported in 1927. Moreover by 1931, albeit then unperceived, an era had ended in another respect because after a surge of creations in the 1920s, no more new bishoprics have been erected in England by the Anglican Church (despite various plans), though some territorial adjustments have been made between dioceses, notably the transfer of Croydon from Canterbury to Southwark. Throughout much of this period popular odium surrounded cathedral establishments, a residue from radical attack in the 1830s and 1840s upon all ecclesiastical corporations whose wealth, admittedly often maladministered, critics had hoped to appropriate to other uses, whose neglect of duties had become scandalous, and whose quirky and outmoded ways Trollope gently satirised in his Barchester novels. The period saw a piecemeal and relatively unco-ordinated response to the problems which creation of these cathedrals involved, and that Church Assembly commission explicitly deplored the ‘anomalous and confused’ situation which had arisen.

Abstract The Bessarion chapel in the church of Santi Apostoli represents a new chapter in the study of the Roman Quattrocento. Its frescoes, painted by Antoniazzo Romano between 1464 and 1467, are a fundamental example of the Roman artistic taste in the early Renaissance. This essay examines unexplored aspects surrounding the origin of the chapel by understanding how Romano obtained this commission and how much he used visual solutions borrowed from the past. In addition, this investigation sets out to reconsider the artistic influence of the Bessarion commission, focusing on the paintings which have recently been discovered in the Orsini church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Formello (Italy). The questions concerning the Bessarion chapel raised in this study will lead to a more exhaustive understanding of this commission and will shed light on the complexity of the early Renaissance in Rome, where tradition and innovation masterfully coexist.

Full textAbstract:
During the war with Shining Path (1980–2000) violence in Peru was brutal and extensive. Massive violations of human rights were common, with victims from all regions and social classes, but were particularly intense in rural areas like Ayacucho where the insurgency began. The churches supported and defended rights by providing organizational space, legal defense, publicity (through their radio networks) and by remaining among populations in danger, working with them and often sharing their fate. Important elements in the churches including leaders, priests, members of religious orders, sisters catechists, and ordinary people working through church organizations, were prominent among the victims. They were attacked both by Shining Path (who saw them as competitors) and by army and police forces, who saw their commitment to social justice and collective action as subversive. The choice to defend human rights in theory and action is rooted in a long term process of transformation in the church which drew strength and inspiration from the “option for the poor” articulated at the Catholic bishops meetings in Medellin (1968) and Puebla (1979), and in numerous statements and organizational efforts since then. The process of violence in Peru and the role of the churches is documented in the reports of the Peruvian Commission for Truth and Reconciliation and others from the Peruvian church as well from as regional and local groups.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTJames Gibbs's church of St Mary-le-Strand has often been interpreted as an expression of his training in Rome, his Tory politics and his Roman Catholic faith. These factors, as well as the growing clout of the Palladian movement, all supposedly contributed to the architect's dismissal from the Commission for Fifty New Churches. In fact, the design was discovered slowly and by compromise, and Gibbs's dismissal was brought about by a change of monarchy, the demise of his original patrons and by the cost-cutting agenda of the new Whig regime. Rather than recent Italian sources, St Mary-le-Strand derives many of its features from the architecture of London, particularly St Paul's Cathedral. The siting of the church on the royal processional way from Westminster to St Paul's Cathedral explains many of Gibbs's design choices. Queen Anne, under whose reign the church was conceived, used the route frequently.

This paper discusses the conference of the Churchmen’s Union held at Girton College in 1921 which proved a controversy in the wider Church of England on account of the views of some speakers, particularly Hastings Rashdall and J. F. Bethune-Baker, on the nature of Christ’s divinity. It argues that although there was little that was novel in the opinions expressed at the conference, it nonetheless provided the main impetus towards the setting up of the archbishops’ Doctrine Commission. Against the background of a triumphalist Anglo-Catholicism, the Commission developed a theory of truth that made liberalism less a method shared across the Church than a distinctive party, thereby reducing its general appeal.

The Church's position toward the EC, placing local communities as prime actors in dialogue with European institutions, reflected the sensitive nature of religion during the Cold War.

Two years later, Pope Francis introduced guidelines to be observed universally whenever cases are reported, and these addressed many of the commission's recommendations.

AbstractThe article takes the form of a report on the current state of the international Anglican–Orthodox theological dialogue. It offers a critical reading of the Church of the Triune God: The Cyprus Agreed Statement of the International Commission for Anglican–Orthodox Theological Dialogue, 2006, outlining the major issues considered, together with points of convergence and continuing disagreement. Starting from acknowledged areas of previous agreement on questions of the Triune God and the nature of the Church, the statement gives special consideration to the issues arising from the ordination of women in provinces of the Anglican Communion. It considers the historical practice of ministry in both churches and the possibility of reception of new expressions of ministry. The theological question at the heart of these considerations is whether the ordination of women constitutes a church dividing matter. For this reason the statement gives some consideration to the terminology of heresy, schism and reception.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractConstructive comparative ecclesiology is the method used by the Faith and Order Commission in its transdenominational documents. The method aims at characterizations of the Church that are inclusive of as many churches as possible. These interpretations thus represent an existential ecclesial existence that is shared by Christians across the churches. This common existential ecclesial existence can be the basis for partial communions among churches, that is, communions that recognize common ecclesial bonds despite substantial ecclesial differences that prevent full communion. The thesis of this essay, then, is that the usefulness of constructive comparative ecclesiology lies in its encouragement of partial communion among the churches.

Full textAbstract:
The article attempts to analyze the regulation of situations in which, for the commission of the sacrament of baptism and other church demands, persons of Orthodox confession were forced to turn to the priests of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and persons of the Armenian confession to the Orthodox priests. However, it was not a question of a change in religion. It was established that such situations occurred due to forced circumstances and often entailed negative consequences of state-legal, church-canonical and domestic nature. For example, the fact that an Armenian priest baptized a child born to Orthodox spouses was regarded as "seduction from Orthodoxy", even if it was caused by a dangerous disease of a newborn. The baptism of an Armenian child in the Orthodox rank led to intra-family religious strife: the child was now considered a member of the Orthodox Church, while his parents continued to belong to the Armenian Church.
It is concluded that, firstly, the entry of Eastern Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church into Russia played a significant role in the emergence of church-practical situations and the need for their regulation by Russian law and the governing bodies of both Churches. Secondly, the decree of the Echmiadzin Synod of 1854 granted the Armenian priests the right to perform all church sacraments in respect of children baptized in their infancy in the Orthodox rite, provided that the parents, being of Armenian religion, did not give a written obligation to raise their children in the Orthodox religion. Thirdly, the patronizing policy of the empire regarding Orthodoxy and the dominant position of the Russian Church led to a complication of relations between the Orthodox clergy and the clergy of the Armenian Church. In cases where representatives of both Churches had equal initial rights to perform public church actions (for example, the rite of blessing of water on the feast of the Epiphany within the same city), primacy, and in some cases (as, for example, in 1858 in Astrakhan) exclusive right granted to the Russian Church.

Second Vatican Council took over from the first Vatican Council the doctrine on infallible teaching of the Bishop of Rome, approved it and presented in more complete context. It is the teaching of Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen gentium on infallibility of bishops when together with the pope they exercise the Church's Magisterium, and on supernatural sense of faith of all people, thanks to which they cannot get lost in faith. International Theological Commission issued “Sensus fidei” in the life of the Church, a document which deals with the issue of supernatural sense of faith of all people of God. This document presents sufficient theology of sensus fidei and therefore it is possible to attempt to place the dogma about the pope’s infallibility into more complete context which sensus fidei is a part of. Three carriers of infallibility in the Church: the pope, the college of bishops and sensus fidei are complementary to one another when it comes to explanation and defence of the divine Revelation. None of them can form anything new in relation to the Revelation. All together serve infallibility given to the Church by the Spirit of Truth.

One of the plots in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church of the time of Patriarch Tikhon is considered, when in 1924 the renewal group “Living Church” headed by priest V. D. Krasnitsky had a try to join the supporters of the patriarch. It was established that this plot was repeatedly considered in literature, but its comprehensive study became possible only after the publication of materials from the Anti-Religious Commission under the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the investigative case of Patriarch Tikhon. Based on the analysis of these historical sources the article concludes that the initiators of the annexation of the “Living Church” to the patriarch were the Anti-Religious Commission and the OGPU. Their goal was to exacerbate the struggle between different parts of the Russian Orthodox Church and thereby discredit it in the eyes of ordinary believers. This paper introduces into scientific circulation and publishes a leaflet with a “Memo for Churchmen”, prepared for publication in 1924 by the renovation Altai diocesan administration. It was identified in a single copy in the State Archive of the Novosibirsk Region. The author takes into account the small circulation of 150 copies and the purpose of the church document and assumes that it was preserved only in this archive. Apparently this leaflet was a response of the Altai Renovationists to the messages in May 1924 in the central Soviet newspapers about the joining to the Patriarch Tikhon of the schismatic group “Living Church”, which was not included in a single renovation Church. This historical source testifies that not only the metropolitan, but also the Siberian dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church took part in the new round of struggle of the renovationist schismatics and supporters of Patriarch Tikhon inspired by the OGPU.
