Abstract:

Within days of the outbreak of COVID-19, the language of “essential work” and “essential workers” became commonplace in public discourse. “Church workers” and their in-person liturgical services were largely deemed “non-essential”, and most assemblies shifted worship to online platforms. While some reflection on this virtual “church work” has appeared in the intervening months, there has been less evaluation of the gathered assembly’s absence from the public square, along with the contribution its liturgical work might offer in interpreting the pandemic and its effects.

Abstract:

This article considers the response of the Korean church to the crisis of COVID-19, giving a theological reflection on worship, church, and mission. Through the various challenges and responses, the Korean church has come to rethink each of these topics. Though a gathering worship is still important, how to worship is more essential than where to worship. Church as God’s people is more important than church as its building or as its hierarchical structure. And in mission, wherever is more essential than whereto. These insights can contribute significantly to a deeper understanding of worship,

Abstract Martin Luther’s ideas about vocational identity were forged in the early years of the Reformation, but were nuanced and reshaped throughout his life as new challenges arose. In this article, I examine the ways in which his conflict with Andreas Karlstadt over the propriety of an academic lifestyle from 1523 to 1525 provided an essential element of Luther’s masculine identity, an element that he continued to draw on throughout his life of lecturing. By 1535, Luther had come to a fully-formed masculine vocational identity, and Karlstadt had become the foil against which Luther measured

Unity, holiness, catholicity and apostolicity, or in Latin known as Notae Ecclesiae, are formulations of faith regarding the Church, confirming her essential attributes that make the Church the Church.

Thus, evidently, presenting the Church’s mysteries in their essential aspects, these notae have flexibility to be used as theological instruments in dogmatics, catechesis, apologetics, and even in theological methodol

Dr. Reuel Almocera targets the Adventist populace in his presentation on the essentials for interpreting Ellen G. White's writings to an Asian audience. I understand this audience to be referring to the ordinary, yet important, members of our local churches. I believe Almocera assumes that most of our local church members, particularly in Asia, have very limited access to Ellen White's writings. Because of this, the problem of misuse, abuse, and misinterpretation is a reality. This therefore creates a need for local church members to have the basic knowledge and essential tools for making the

The phenomenon of media communication constitutes one of the essential characteristics of society. Without communication, society could not function.

I have become all things to all, that I may save some." (1 Cor 9, 22). Therefore, an essential aspect of media communication in the Church is to make ourselves understood by the audience as well as possible.

The church exists not for her own sake, but for the world for whom Jesus was crucified. This is the vantage point for a missionary church at the end of the Christendom paradigm.

To steer the Philippine Catholic Church towards synodality, I argue that imitating the first Christians is imperative for Filipino Catholics.

Passed in 1871, these canons, the most radical of which included a ban on the use of the cross, were used by evangelical pressure-groups to prosecute high-church clergy in the church courts.

Abstract:

In this paper, the author conducted a theological-ethical study of the Church's role against corruption. The research method in this article uses a descriptive qualitative study method with a library research approach. The practice of corruption is an act that is contrary to the will and character of God. If the behavior of corruption is not resisted, then corruption seems to be a natural act and is no longer seen as an act of crime and sin. The Church, as a religious institution, is also responsible for fighting corruption in Indonesia and providing a formula that can support minimizing corru

Abstract:

AbstractThe history of theology demonstrates that theological exploration, seeking to understand fully an already given theological concept, regularly brings forth unexpected insights. This article seeks to do just that. Reflecting on an ancient theological word, perichoresis, coined in its original Greek to express the intimate communion of, first, the two natures in the one person of Jesus and, second, the three persons in one God, the article seeks new theological insight into the communion that is essential in, first, Christian marriage and then, church. The analysis underscores communion-

Abstract:

The objective of this article is to investigate, albeit briefly, the cosmopolitics that animate Catholicism and the Church. It asks what their essential characteristics and forms are. The purpose of the text was to discuss, in introductory notes, the existence of these configurations in the identity of Catholicism and the Church. As a qualitative hypothesis, it is proposed that these essential characteristics and forms of cosmopolitics are derived from the relationship between the institution and religious expression (Catholics) during its historical existence.

Abstract:

The modern ecumenical movement is a part of a wider ecumenism which expresses the universal character of the Christian faith. It is an approach to faith which is aware of the world-wide context of church life and the variety of the cultures and communities where it is practiced. The Orthodox Church of Ethiopia shows the importance of ecumenism because here we find a style of worship and theology which has taken a very different character from other parts of the church, especially in its relations with other faiths. Ecumenical faith recognises and welcomes difference and always seeks fresh ways

Abstract:

Young Catholics have an important role to play in the Church as the next generation and agents of change. This was affirmed by Saint Yoanes Paul II who called them the future of the Church and a source of hope for society. The Church sees the importance of the physical and spiritual development of young Catholics so that they are ready to take part in the service of the Church. The active participation of the faithful, especially the youth, is essential in realizing the expectations of all Church members in seeing the Church flourish. Young Catholics are encouraged to participate in various ch

Abstract:

Three important and essential elements in the establishment of the religious rites within Islam and Christianity include the following: (1) a place to conduct these rites of worship, namely mosques and churches, (2) religious clerics or priests, and (3) ritual instructions. Of these, the mosque and the church hold great importance as the veritable cradle for the establishment of the religious rites and practices of these faiths. Hence, if we wish to understand what is transpiring today with regard to religious rites of Islam and Christianity, we must recognize the essential nature of the mosqu

Abstract:

Ever since Henry VIII, the law of marriage has occupied a special place in the relationship between the Church of England and the state. Changes made to the law since 1857 have raised far-reaching and difficult questions about the nature of this relationship, involving the status of canon law. Marriage in church has remained, perhaps even more than the other rites of passage, an essential point at which the Church of England still touches the lives of great numbers of the otherwise unchurched, and these questions have thus impinged on the practical reality of the Church's work.

This Grade 1-listed mediaeval church had a substantial Georgian reredos. It dominated the east end of the church, hiding three-quarters of the plain-glazed east window. In 2012 a faculty permitted its temporary removal to another location in the church while essential works were done to the chancel. Following this, the consequent increase in light coming from the windows was welcomed by petitioners, and fragments of medieval wall painting were discovered behind plasterwork which the reredos had previously protected. The petitioners now wished to make the temporary removal of the reredos perman

We can understand catholicity as a gift and task for the Church. In catholicity is written not only the diversity of charismas, spiritual and liturgical traditions, and ministries, but also the diversity of local Churches. It is obvious, that inculturation, catholicity, mission and ecumenism are interconnected. Catholicity is a feature of the Church that expresses the fullness, integrity, and whole life of Christ. It is the essential element of the communion, gathering all people, races and cultures in a community where the one Church of God is revealed and realized. The above issues were pres
