Abstract:
This article is a case study of one minister's effort at congregational renewal in a small-town, mainline Protestant church that had persistently lost members as the congregation aged. Although the article describes the minister, his efforts, and his church, the main goal is to show how we may view organizations as subcomponents of the communities in which they exist. The article explicitly conceptualizes this church renewal effort as an example of an organizational type first proposed by Janowitz in describing the community press in urban settings. To move beyond the business model of organizations in analyzing nonprofit organizations, we need to find conceptual models that represent clear alternatives. We also need case examples that clearly illustrate those conceptual alternatives. This case is offered in that spirit.

Abstract:
Domestic Violence (KDRT) can happen anywhere and to anyone, including the congregation. The research objectives to be achieved from this study are to describe the role of the church in congregational domestic violence victims and to describe the study of pastoral counseling for victims of domestic violence. The method used in this study is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. In writing this research the author wants to explain the role of the church in the congregation to help victims of domestic violence, with several forms that the church does, namely: first: paying attention to victims and visiting victims in giving care in the sense of hearing complaints and strengthening and providing input that can help a victim (pastoral counseling). Second: providing assistance in the form of medical treatment and psychological (mental) treatment. So the role of the church is also to help victims of domestic violence that can happen to the congregation, and the church can build a Christian family based on belief in Jesus Christ.

Abstract:
The existence of the Jawi Wetan Christian Church (GKJW) began with a number of people who claimed to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior and the first holy baptism on December 12, 1843 in Surabaya, East Java. Since that time their number increased and a fellowship of believers was formed, namely a fellowship of brothers in faith which then united themselves into one ecclesiastical fellowship on December 11, 1931. The formulation of the problem in this research were: 1) How was the development of the GKJW Madura Ethnic Congregation inSumberpakem village in 1945-2022 ?; 2) How was the religious life of the GKJW Madura Ethnic Congregation in Sumberpakem Village in 1945-2022? The results of the study show that the formation of the Madurese Christian Congregation originated from overseas or migration of Madurese living on Madura Island to East Java. The factor that drives them to migrate is the economic factor. At that time the condition of the land in the areas of Madura Island was barren so that their fields could not be planted so that they had difficulty meeting their daily needs. The organization of worship is a congregational assembly led by the local Pastor, another Pastor during service exchanges, or congregational assemblies taking turns according to the schedule. Worship at Greja Kristen Jawi Wetan Sumberpakem uses Madurese or Indonesian according to the schedule made by the relevant commission, namely the Theological Commission.

Abstract:
The background of the process of implementing church discipline in GKII Petleng Alor Baru Region is that GKII Petleng Alor Baru Region has its own church discipline rules, namely there are congregations who sin, are not reprimanded first, but are directly subject to church discipline. This process of implementing church discipline is not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible in Matthew 18:15-17. This study aims to explain the evaluation of the process of implementing church discipline in GKII Petleng, Alor Baru Region based on Matthew 18:15-17. The method used in this study is qualitative with a type of evaluation research to evaluate the problems that occur and compare the problems with existing theories. To obtain the data the author conducted interviews with the Congregational Pastor, the Congregational Governing Body, the disciplined congregation and the Deputy Regional Chairperson. Based on the results of research that the author has conducted at GKII Petleng, Alor Baru Region, the author finds that GKII Petleng Alor Baru Region has not carried out the process of applying church discipline based on Matthew 18:15-17. Latar belakang proses pelaksanaan disiplin gereja di GKII Petleng Daerah Alor Baru adalah GKII Petleng Daerah Alor Baru memiliki aturan disiplin gereja yang tersendiri yaitu ada jemaat yang berbuat dosa, tidak ditegur terlebih dahulu, namun langsung dikenakan disiplin gereja.

Abstract:
The Glorious Revolution encouraged Presbyterians to hope for comprehension within the Church of England. The failure of those hopes led them to co-operate more closely with their Congregational brethren. In London the earliest practical outcome of this increased co-operation was the Common Fund, which held its first meeting in June 1690. Controlled by managers drawn from both denominations, the Fund was established to offer financial help to poor ministers, congregations, and students who lived in the provinces. A scheme for uniting the two ministries, the Happy Union, set out in the ‘Heads of Agreement’, was adopted a year later on 6 April 1691, but within months this union had dissolved amidst bitter dissension. In less than four years all the schemes for co-operation between Presbyterians and Congregationals had collapsed in London. Nevertheless, co-operation between Presbyterians and Independents, and even the ideals of the Happy Union, continued in the provinces long after the failure in London. In part this was because the desire for a union between the two denominations was widely held throughout the country; indeed the earliest agreement was made by an Assembly of West Country ministers at Bristol in June 1690, nearly a year before the ‘Heads of Agreement’ were adopted in London. Moreover, in many localities following toleration, Presbyterians and Independents still came together in one meeting as a result of the earlier persecution and because of their loyalty to a particular minister. Where dissent was strong, such as in London and the major towns, separate congregations for Presbyterians and Congregational were likely; but where dissent was weaker, particularly in the countryside, congregations included members from both denominations. In these circumstances, members had to accept a minister who did not necessarily share their own denominational preferences. During the first two decades of the eighteenth century the majority of these joint congregations were to divide, as (in most cases) the smaller body of Congregational supporters withdrew to establish their own meetings. There had, however, been more than twenty years of co-operation in many areas in the period following the collapse of the Happy Union in London, and in a few cases such arrangements even continued until the early nineteenth century. There is evidence from at least two congregations, at Leicester and Chesterfield, of a formal agreement to settle the differences between the two denominations. The Happy Union and its failure in London has been the subject of a number of studies, but by contrast the continuing co-operation between Presbyterians and Independents in the provinces has received little detailed attention.

Abstract:
"In Vadász, Arad County, in the second third of the 18th century, the statue of Moloch in the village church caused a conflict, as the local Reformed minister had had it destroyed around 1769. At first glance, the situation seems simple since it is not customary in Reformed churches to have the decoration typical of Catholic churches, so it is not surprising that the minister removed it. Yet the situation is not clear-cut because we do not know why it had not bothered anyone in the two hundred years since the Reformation began. In our study, we describe – through the example of the statue destruction in Vadász – what Reformed identity was like in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 18th century. In our analysis, we find that the development of Reformed conscience was delayed compared to the western half of Europe. The same is demonstrated in the 18th-century Reformed Church history writings, as the events of the Reformation had not been put on paper in most congregations up until then. Most congregational histories are based on oral traditions, with little historical literature being used to support them. Keywords: collective memory, Reformed church, oral tradition, historiography, Calvinist identity, history of reading, idol demolition, history of Reformation, Hungarian Kingdom "

Abstract:
The Particular Baptists of England emerged in the middle of the seventeenth century around the time of the Revolution. The first half of this thesis looks at the history of the first two London Particular Baptist Confessions of Faith written in 1644 and 1689. It examines the history behind the making of both Confessions as well as the sources from which they drew their material. The second half of the thesis is a comparison study. Firstly, the two Baptist Confessions are compared with each other in the areas of the atonement, baptism, the Church, and religious liberty, to see if Particular Baptist beliefs had changed. Secondly, the 1689 Baptist Confession is compared with the two leading English Calvinistic Confessions of the seventeenth century, the Presbyterian Westminster Confession and the Congregationalist Savoy Declaration, in order to see their similarities and differences in the same four areas.

Abstract:
The essay traces the salient historical steps of the Jesuat congregation, highlighting its genesis and development up to the year of its suppression (1668). The focus is on the dynamics triggered by the born of the Jesuat congregation, who grew on the border between the “church of the religious” and the “church of the laity”, and on the use of intellectual energies of the Jesuat friars, because they were directed towards defining and safeguarding their own religious identity. The latter had two focal points: the example of Giovanni Colombini, its first “father”, and, at the same time, the defence of the autonomy necessary to move interstitially between institutions, groups and movements. The historical parable of the Jesuats, in fact, clearly shows the importance assumed by the network of social relations for the constitution of the movement and for its progressive normalisation.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the ‘church life’ of the Congregational meeting at Bedford during the two decades following the death in 1688 of its most famous pastor, John Bunyan, and the passing of the 1689 Toleration Act. It examines the difficult experience of pastoral transition facing the church under the early leadership of Bunyan’s successor, Ebenezer Chandler: the first pastor to be appointed from without the congregation since its establishment in the early 1650s, but about whom almost nothing has been written. This chapter addresses matters at the heart of the relationship between Dissenting pastors and their congregations in one of the most prominent and well-documented Congregational churches of the era, and during a key period in the transformation of English Dissent: from the seventeenth century to the eighteenth century, and from persecution to toleration, via the short-lived ‘Happy Union’ of Presbyterians and Congregationalists in the early 1690s.

Abstract:
This chapter describes four catalysts for planting new congregations that seem driven more by terrestrial chance and happenstance than celestial directives. The first of these, difficulties on the job market, not only is a catalyst for the decision to start a new congregation but is claimed as the God-influenced rationale for doing so. The second social catalyst, congregational conflicts and division, is a common dynamic of established congregations that has a common but unexamined outcome: the birth of a new church. In the third social catalyst for church planting, being “pushed out of the nest,” leaders of parent congregations encourage their associate ministers to plant a new church. The final phenomenon, the evolution of a parachurch ministry, is the most serendipitous catalyst for finding oneself in a founding pastorate. These entrepreneurs set out to create parachurch organizations, usually for Bible studies, with no interest at all in starting a formal church.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the issue of absenteeism in seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century gathered churches through their manuscript church records. Absenteeism was the offence most frequently cited in disciplinary meetings, yet some members who were censured for absence were active supporters of their churches in other ways. This chapter focuses on those members who were never under a sentence of excommunication but who had ceased to be involved in church life and to take communion. It examines the question of Dissenting identity through lay participation, the reasons why men and women ceased to come to church, and what prompted them to seek reconciliation, sometimes decades after their first admission. Evidence is taken from manuscript church records belonging to Congregational, Particular Baptist, and General Baptist churches, spanning the period c.1640 to c.1714.

Abstract This chapter examines the manuscript works of the Cambridge and London dissenting minister Joseph Hussey (1660–1726). Such archival documents help reassess the transformation of Calvinistic culture after the Toleration Act, but this chapter argues that they also contain evidence for the history of literature. Joseph Hussey’s unpublished works first question the nature of pastoral diaries, sometimes called ‘church books’, but also give detailed accounts of the practice of conversion narratives in early eighteenth-century Congregational churches. After rehearsing the complex nature of Hussey’s diary, and the problem of denominational identity among Presbyterians and Congregationalists, I turn to Hussey’s presentations of oral and written conversion narratives given in his congregations. The rich vocabulary of emotions that both applicants and hearers were expected to encounter shaped the delivery of the narratives at times along gender lines.

Abstract The story of a modern urban Holiness congregation is presented here to serve two purposes. First, the overview of a local church whose congregational history spans the greater part of the twentieth century should help to corroborate at least a few of the general insights and issues presented in this study as characteristic of the exilic motif in African American religious life. Second, this account illustrates some of the practical concerns and challenges engaged by pastors of Holiness-Pentecostal people whose worship and work is informed by the call to be saints–“in the world, but not of it.” The Third Street Church of God had its earliest origins in the Christian witness of a family who migrated to Washington, D.C., from Charlotte, North Carolina, during the first decade of the twentieth century: Sister Minnie Lee Duffy; her brother, Elder James E. Lee; her sister, Sister Viola Lee Cyrus; her mother, Sister Cherry Lites Lee Johnson; and her aunt and uncle Brother and Sister Doc Lites. This first Church of God mission in the nation’s capital was established in 1910 in a small room in the home of Sister Cherry Lites Lee Johnson on Six and One-Half Street, Southwest. They held church in their home and invited ministers passing through Washington to speak to their small but growing congregation. On one such occasion, Elder Charles T. Benjamin, a traveling evangelist based in New York, was invited to return and subsequently became the shepherd of that small flock.

This chapter tackles the features of the buildings along the Near West Side, Garfield Park, and Humboldt Park. Even though the buildings are out of the Chicago Loop, geologists can still sense one of the city's chief architectural glories by referencing the design ethic called Grand Art Deco Formula. The Richardsonian Romanesque style of the Church of the Epiphany provides the most immediate and sustained geological gratification, which is an architecture's highest calling. The chapter explains that the First Baptist Congregational Church is a time capsule of Chicago's architectural history prior to the Great Fire. It also considers the geologic features of the Humboldt Park Boathouse.

Abstract:
During the 1620s the colony faced various challenges, some centering on a settlement to the north that came to be dominated by Thomas Morton. Morton was accused of selling guns and liquor to Natives and carrying on revels around a maypole he had erected. Plymouth sent Myles Standish and a small armed force to arrest Morton, and they sent him back to England. In 1628 the first settlers of what was to be the Massachusetts Bay Colony arrived in Salem. These puritans were not separatists but turned to Plymouth for advice on how to organize their religious life. Samuel Fuller, Plymouth’s physician and a deacon of the church, visited Salem to aid those suffering from scurvy, but also persuaded John Endecott, the settlement’s leader, of the congregational principles on which the Plymouth congregation was based. The Salem settlers thereafter drew up their own covenant and subsequently chose their own ministers.

Abstract:
The task of the article is to provide an insight into the oldest printed texts of laws in the Latvian language: the research examines the printed law texts from the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century. The oldest legal texts in Latvian preserved in Latvian libraries are several criminal laws issued in Swedish Livland in the 17th century. In the 18th century, laws and other normative acts were published in Latvian in various sectors: including, for example, the first printed road traffic regulations. The laws were translated from German into Latvian by Baltic German priests, who also read them to the congregations during church services. At the beginning of the 19th century, the first commentary on the laws was published in Latvian, explaining the law on the liberation of peasantry from serfdom in Kurzeme. In 1824, the first newspaper in Latvian was released, which in some ways can be considered the official gazette – “Vidzemes Latviešu Avīzes”.

Abstract:
While the appeal of ‘civilisational dialogue’ is on the rise, its sources, functions, and con- sequences arouse controversy within and between faith communities. Some religious lead- ers have attempted to clarify the religious foundations for such dialogue. Among them are Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Britain and the Commonwealth, Edward Idris, Cardinal Cassidy of the Catholic Church, and Fethullah Gülen. The paper compares the approach of these three religious leaders from the Abrahamic tra- dition as presented in their scholarly works – Sacks’ The Dignity of Difference, Cardinal Cassidy’s Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue, and Gülen’s Advocate of Dialogue. The discussion attempts to answer the following questions: Can monotheistic traditions accom- modate the dignity of followers of other monotheistic and polytheistic religions as well as non-theistic religions and philosophies? Is a belief in the unity of God compatible with an acceptance of the religious dignity of others? The paper also explores their arguments for why civilisational and interfaith dialogue is necessary, the parameters of such dialogue and its anticipated consequences: how and how far can dialogue bridge the claims of unity of God and diversity of faiths? Islam’s emphasis on diversity and the Quran’s accommodation of ear- lier religious traditions put Islam and Fethullah Gülen in the best position to offer a religious justification for valuing and cherishing the dignity of followers of other religions. The plea for a dialogue of civilizations is on the rise among some policymakers and politi- cians. Many of them believe a dialogue between Islam and the West has become more urgent in the new millennium. For example following the 2005 Cartoon Wars, the United Nations, the Organization of the Islamic Conferences, and the European Union used a joint statement to condemn violent protests and call for respect toward religious traditions. They pled for an exchange of ideas rather than blows: We urge everyone to resist provocation, overreaction and violence, and turn to dialogue. Without dialogue, we cannot hope to appeal to reason, to heal resentment, or to overcome mistrust. Globalization disperses people and ideas throughout the world; it brings families individuals with different beliefs into close contact. Today, more than any period in history, religious di- versity characterizes daily life in many communities. Proponents of interfaith dialogue claim that, in an increasingly global world, interfaith dialogue can facilitate mutual understanding, respect for other religions, and, thus, the peaceful coexistence of people of different faiths. One key factor for the success of the interfaith dialogue is religious leaders’ ability to provide an inclusive interfaith theology in order to reconcile their commitment to their own faith with the reality of religious diversity in their communities. I argue that prominent leaders of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) are already offering separate but overlapping theologies to legitimize interfaith dialogue. A balanced analysis of multi-faith interactions is overdue in political science. The discipline characterises religious interactions solely from the perspective of schism and exclusion. The literature asserts that interactions among believers of different faiths will breed conflict, in- cluding terrorism, civil wars, interstate wars, and global wars. According to this conven- tional depiction, interfaith cooperation is especially challenging to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam due to their monotheism; each claims it is “the one true path”. The so-called “monothe- istic exclusion” refers to an all-or-nothing theological view: you are a believer or you are an infidel. Judaism identifies the chosen people, while outsiders are gentiles; Christians believe that no salvation is possible outside of Jesus; Islam seems to call for a perennial jihad against non-Muslims. Each faith would claim ‘religious other’ is a stranger to God. Political “us versus them” thinking evolves from this “believer versus infidel” worldview. This mindset, in turn, initiates the blaming, dehumanizing, and demonization of the believers of other reli- gious traditions. Eventually, it leads to inter-religious violence and conflict. Disputing this grim characterization of religious interactions, scholars of religion offer a tripartite typology of religious attitude towards the ‘religious other.’ They are: exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism. Exclusivism suggests a binary opposition of religious claims: one is truth, the other is falsehood. In this dichotomy, salvation requires affirmation of truths of one’s particular religion. Inclusivism integrates other religious traditions with one’s own. In this integration, one’s own religion represents the complete and pure, while other religions represent the incomplete, the corrupted, or both. Pluralism accepts that no religious tradi- tion has a privileged access to religious truth, and all religions are potentially equally valid paths. This paper examines the theology of interfaith dialogue (or interfaith theology) in the Abrahamic religions by means of analyzing the works of three prominent religious lead- ers, a Rabbi, a Pope, and a Muslim scholar. First, Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Britain and the Commonwealth, offers a framework for the dialogue of civilizations in his book Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations. Rather than mere tolerance and multiculturalism, he advocates what he calls the dignity of difference—an active engagement to value and cherish cultural and religious differences. Second, Pope John Paul II’s Crossing the Threshold of Hope argues that holiness and truth might exist in other religions because the Holy Spirit works beyond the for- mal boundaries of Church. Third, the Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen’s Advocate of Dialogue describes a Muslim approach to interfaith dialogue based on the Muslim belief in prophecy and revelation. I analyze the interfaith theologies of these religious leaders in five sections: First, I explore variations on the definition of ‘interfaith dialogue’ in their works. Second, I examine the structural and strategic reasons for the emergence and development of the interfaith theologies. Third, I respond to four common doubts about the possibility and utility of interfaith di- alogue and theologies. Fourth, I use John Rawls’ overlapping consensus approach to develop a framework with which to analyze religious leaders’ support for interfaith dialogue. Fifth, I discuss the religious rationales of each religious leader as it relates to interfaith dialogue.

Abstract:
This report analyzes data collected from 2700 churches of the Center for Congregations in Indianapolis through the Connect Through Tech grant program between 2020-2021. This report analyzes data gathered from applications to the CTT grant and final reports submitted by these churches, in order to learn how churches understand and perceive the role of churches, technology, and their relationship changed during the first two years of the pandemic as they incorporated digital media into their ministry work. The “Mission to Serve Tech” report explores three key themes: (1) how leaders understanding of the mission of the church may have changed during the pandemic, (2) the general understanding of how churches conceptualize the relationship between church and technology before and then later during the pandemic, and (3) the ways technology created both unique opportunities and new challenges that cause churches perceptions and actions to shift in new ways. Important findings of this report include that most churches (84.7%) used their grant funds to purchase live-streaming services and camera/video equipment (82%).
