What is the significance of the search for Indian Church? How far has it contributed to the betterment of both the Church and the nation? What are some of the challenges and possible responses the Church in India faces? These are some of the questions we ask ourselves in this special issue of Jnanadeepa: Pune Journal o f  Religious Studies.

Abstract:

Generally, a country’s government, as an umbrella-institution, accommodates state institutions like the judiciary, military, education, and finance and the non-state institutions like the family, church and mosque, among others. Also, the strength or otherwise of a country largely depends on the strength or otherwise of the subordinate institutions and vice versa; hence the popular negative notion of “strong individuals but weak institutions” in developing states like Nigeria. To this end, this paper sought answers to the following questions: Is there a significant relationship between the Nig

First, Fansur or Fahsur can also refer to a country in northwest India. Second, in the seventh century of our era there was not yet section of the Nestorian Church which was in full communion with Rome; thus the Nasara Nasathirah Church cannot be called a Catholic Church if

How does the Church relate to the larger world? What is the relationship between the “spiritual” Church and the “political” country? For a Christian there is a necessary connection (though not identification) between worldly progress and the ushering in of the salvation that Jesus has brought about.  So commitment to the country and devotion to the Church has to go hand in hand.  There can never be real tension between the two, as illustrated in the life, writings and vision of Prof Kurien Kunnumpuram, an eminent Post Vatican Council thinker.

The presence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate prompted national church figures to establish an independent (autocephalous) church to become a truly independent country without Russian oversight.

Abstract:

The singing of metrical psalms, canticles, some anthems and a few hymns in the ‘old way’ constituted almost the sole musical activity in English parish church services after the Restoration. By the start of the eighteenth century a reform was under way. Parish clerks ceased to line out the psalms for the benefit of congregations. As the clergy and gentry generally disdained to assist the improvement of music and only the wealthiest urban churches could afford organs, congregations took their lead from choirs trained by itinerant singing-masters.

As a historical reality, the Church has to search for a new identity as it enters a new century, a new millennium.

Some countries have chosen not to recognise church marriage and some countries have chosen to recognise church marriage. Church marriage is recognised by the state of Lithuania.

Abstract:

The religion of Christianity was firmly established in Kenya by European missionaries in AD 1844 and since then, it has grown to be the religion for 85.5% of the population. After Kenya gained political independence in AD 1964, numerous Christian denominations have established church congregations in all parts of the country and the competition for congregation members is high. The Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) and other mainline churches are experiencing declining congregations due to the entry of the Pentecostal churches but the earlier Pentecostal churches are also experiencing the same ph

Abstract:

Religiosity and spirituality have been considered to be protective factors of adolescent health-risk behavior (HRB). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between adolescents’ HRB and their religiosity, taking into account their parents’ faith and their own participation in church activities. A nationally representative sample (n = 13377, 13.5 ± 1.7 years, 49.1% boys) of Czech adolescents participated in the 2018 Health Behavior in School-aged Children cross-sectional study. We measured religious attendance (RA), faith importance (FI) (both of respondents and their parents), par

In 1932, Shirley Jackson Case, a recent president of the American Society of Church History, summarized the activities of the “The Church History Deputation to the Orient” by rehearsing some of the questions that the visiting scholars asked of their colleagues in Asia. Among those queries were these: “What service is the study of Church History as a whole rendering to Christianity today in your country? Could this service be improved, and, if so, in what practical way?” For Case and others, the study of church history was directly related to the practice of Christianity. To research, publish,

Abstract:

In 1 Corinthians 15:35–58, Paul combats disagreement in the Corinthian church over the nature of the resurrection. Paul’s argument for the physicality of the resurrection, and his location of the individual’s resurrection within a larger transformation and restoration of all creation, changes how the contemporary church understands and teaches Christian hope, sanctification, and mission.

Church bulletins often carry inserts describing various development projects in Third World nations which church members can assist. Favored projects include cooperative ventures such as village-owned wells or farms in sub-Saharan Africa or craft co-ops for oppressed women in South Asia. By making generous contributions to special denominational offerings, church members, sitting in their pews in this most developed of countries, can help poor unfortunate individuals in some backward Third World country.

This article examines the support that California's church groups offered to Japanese Americans during their resettlement after internment from 1945 to 1947, focusing on the hostels these groups opened to house, feed, provide storage, and assist with employment and long-term housing for their Japanese residents. It offers a narrative of California's church hostels, which have been overshadowed in the scholarship by those in the Midwest and East, which operated for nearly two years before the West Coast was reopened to internees.

Colombia remains one of the most religious countries on the continent, where the Catholic denomination prevails, and the Catholic Church is the institution with the most trust of the population, which allows it to influence the political landscape of the country, becoming a social regulator and moral guide of the nation, promoting a &quot;culture of peace&quot; as opposed to violence as the consequence of an internal armed conflict.

In 1868 Ulysses S. Grant remarked that there were three great parties in the United States: the Republican, the Democratic, and the Methodist Church. This was an understandable tribute, given the active role of leading Methodists in his presidential campaign, but it was also a realistic judgment, when set in the context of the denomination's growing political authority over the previous half century. As early as 1819, when, with a quarter of a million members, “the Methodists were becoming quite numerous in the country,” the young exhorter Alfred Branson noted that “politicians… from policy fa

Brazil's second largest Protestant body, the Congregação Cristã no Brasil, is one of the fastest-growing religious organizations in that country. It is also Brazil's most stable and harmonious church. Yet the Congregação Cristã no Brasil has only a bare minimum of formal organizational structure, no official mechanisms for proselytizing, and almost no written rules or policies. This paper is an effort to understand the apparent anomaly of an organization displaying parallel rapid growth and stability without explicit mechanisms to spur growth and to assure stability.

Abstract:

The Netherlands is a religious tolerant country; the Dutch are not very inclined to pay attention to the belief of politicians, and increasingly they prefer politics and religion to be separated. The picture of the developments in the past decades is mixed: clearly increased doubts about unlimited freedom of religion, a small drop in support for religion as a guide to political action, and a virtually unchanged support for denominational education. These findings suggest a growing awareness of potential negative aspects of religion, a declining role of religion in peoples own lives, and a stab
