The Catholic Christian church has a hierarchical system of governance. The pope is the head of the church and is assisted by cardinals. Bishops help lead local churches and priests deliver sermons. The system aims to encourage moral behavior among followers and unity within the faith. It also establishes certain rights and responsibilities for individuals, though the governance has sometimes negatively impacted people of other religions through violence.

Religions around the world
The document discusses the influence of Catholicism in Latin America and Asia. It notes that while Catholicism in Latin America focuses on belief in God, some Asian religions view Catholicism negatively and believe it worships the devil. The author aims to compare Catholicism and Buddhism, how Buddhism focuses on karma and reincarnation while Catholicism believes in God and saints. The conclusion is that religions can help people with life's problems and bring communities together.
Models of the church
The document discusses Cardinal Avery Dulles' models of the Church, including the Church as Institution, Communion, Sacrament, Herald, Servant, and Community of Disciples. Each model emphasizes different aspects of the Church such as structure, community, sign of God's presence, proclamation, service, and imitation of Christ. Taken together, the models provide a more complete understanding of the Church and how it spirals deeper into the mystery of Christ through its foundation, community, beliefs, mission, and discipleship.

This document provides background information on Christ Church United in Lowell, Massachusetts and its denomination, the United Church of Christ. It discusses how Christ Church United and the UCC have historically adjusted their mission and practices to meet the changing needs of their communities. The UCC was formed through mergers between Congregational and Reformed denominations in the 1950s in order to better serve people. Both the church and denomination focus on social justice issues, inclusiveness, and welcoming all people regardless of differences.
Project john varela
The emerging church movement aims to make churches more relevant and address why many young people are leaving churches. It discusses three factions within the movement - Reconstructionists who want to reform church structure but keep conservative theology, Relevants who aim to modernize worship styles but keep traditional theology, and Revisionists who want to challenge traditional theology. The document expresses a desire to see churches become true communities that bring generations together and welcome diversity, and to separate conservative political issues from Christianity in order to focus on Jesus' message of love.
How Any Church Can Be Missional
The document discusses the declining state of churches in Western societies and proposes that churches adopt a missional approach to remain relevant. It notes that church attendance has dropped significantly in recent decades in America, Britain, and Australia. Additionally, the majority of remaining churches are plateaued or declining. The document argues that churches should focus on building local relationships through activities like neighborhood mapping and missional communities in order to introduce more people to Christianity. Adopting this missional lifestyle of engaging with neighbors is presented as a key way for churches to reverse attendance trends.
Faith based community organizing (fbco)
Faith-based community organizing (FBCO) has its roots in Saul Alinsky's organizing work in 1930s/40s Chicago, drawing on the Jewish community. Following Alinsky's death, Ernesto Cortés, Jr. explored integrating faith traditions into organizing itself. FBCO is unique in that it organizes at the institutional level of congregations, grounds action in religious values and traditions, prioritizes relationships over issues, intentionally mobilizes multiple racial/ethnic groups, and builds power through alliances across faith communities. FBCO uses professional organizers to cultivate democratic participation by training community members to take public action. Studies show FBCO remains active across America through local organizations in many states.

The document discusses the need for Basic Christian Communities (BCCs) in parishes. It provides background on BCCs, noting they became popular in Latin America in the 1960s-70s and were known as "communidades de base." The purpose of BCCs is to read and discuss the Bible, pray, celebrate, and discuss/plan actions. BCCs are characterized by Christian fellowship and serving the poor. Leadership typically involves lay people and priests in an advisory role, with leadership transitioning to the local community over time.
Secularisation in America
Bruce argues that America is becoming increasingly secular based on three pieces of evidence: declining church attendance, secularization from within religious institutions, and growing religious diversity and relativism. He cites studies showing that reported church attendance rates have remained steady at 40% but have actually been declining based on churches' own records. Additionally, American religion has become more psychologized, focused on personal improvement rather than salvation, and less committed to traditional beliefs. Religious views have also become more relativistic and accepting of different beliefs.
9 reformation chart
The document summarizes some of the key differences between Protestant and Catholic theology and practices during the Reformation period. The Protestant view emphasized salvation through faith alone, access to God for all believers without priests, and interpreting scripture independently. The Catholic view maintained that good works and the priesthood were necessary along with faith for salvation. Catholics saw scripture and tradition as revealing doctrine, while Protestants viewed the Bible as the sole source. Other differences included the number of sacraments, whether communion represented a repeated sacrifice, and the concept of predestination.
Pope Francis: an ecclesial renewal which cannot be deferred
Pope Francis calls for an ecclesial renewal that places evangelization above self-preservation. He advocates for a "missionary option" that makes pastoral structures and activities more inclusive, open, and focused on going out to others. While the parish is a flexible institution that can take on different forms, it must truly be in contact with people's lives and not become disconnected. Other Church groups can enrich the Church when they maintain contact with local parishes and participate in overall pastoral work, rather than focusing only on parts of the Gospel or becoming rootless.
7 christian witness in the postmodern world (2)
The document discusses Christian witness in a postmodern world. It summarizes several resources that address this topic, including works by George Carey, Roger Lundin, Lieven Boeve, and David Smith. Some of the key themes discussed are finding new frontiers for witnessing, emphasizing service over power, and how to approach truth and interpretation in a postmodern context. The resources explore how Christianity can adapt to postmodernity while maintaining its core teachings, and how the church can engage in mission through dialogue, contextualization, and working for justice.
Project 2 slideshow (2)
The document discusses the history and current state of religion in America. It begins with how religion first emerged among human societies and then formally in America in the 1600s as colonists arrived seeking religious freedom. Today, around 77% of Americans identify as Christian and religion remains an important part of life and society for many, though over 16% do not affiliate with any religion. The document also examines functionalist and conflict perspectives on the role and influence of religion.
Sunday Worship
The document describes Sunday worship in Christianity, focusing on communion. It explains that communion commemorates Jesus' last supper and sacrifice, with bread and wine symbolizing his body and blood. It signifies core Christian beliefs like the incarnation and redemption and brings individuals and the community together through prayer, ritual, scripture, and sharing a sacred meal as commanded by Jesus.

The document discusses the structure and practices of the early Apostolic Church based on examples from the New Testament. It describes how the Antioch church became a prototype with evangelistic activity, scripture teaching, generosity, and leaders meeting together. Apostles in the NT had a wide meaning and included Jesus, the Twelve, Paul and Barnabas, Titus, and Junias. Apostles were called and sent out voluntarily with the laying on of hands and an egalitarian spirit. The priority was receptivity to the gospel. Sacraments represented, sealed and applied grace but did not convey it directly. The ministries of the church included meeting, worship, outreach, reconciliation and evangelism as the Body of Christ with

The document provides a brief overview of several major world religions including Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. It appears to be an outline or table of contents for a course on religious education that will cover these five faiths at a high level.
Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue
The document discusses the Catholic Church's views on ecumenism and relations with other Christian traditions and religions. It emphasizes that:
- The Church seeks the unity of all Christians and sees other Christian traditions as imperfectly sharing in communion;
- Dialogue and cooperation with other groups can help foster greater unity based on shared values and gifts;
- While the Catholic Church professes itself as the one true Church, it acknowledges positive elements in other religions and that people of good faith in other traditions can be saved through Christ without explicit knowledge of the Church.
Christianity
Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. It recognizes Jesus as the promised Messiah and Savior who established God's kingdom through his resurrection. The New Testament contains the canon of the Christian faith which is spread by churches. According to the Christian faith, God revealed himself through history and Jesus Christ fulfilled this revelation. Christianity is now the largest religion in the world with over 2 billion adherents divided among Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy.

Major branches of judaism
There are four main branches of Judaism described in the document: Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist. Orthodox Judaism is the most traditional and focuses on strict interpretation of rituals and moral obligations. Conservative Judaism incorporates some modernization while still emphasizing traditional practices. Reform Judaism revolves around personal faith and beliefs with less emphasis on strict rituals. Reconstructionist Judaism believes Judaism is constantly changing and embraces change and liberal beliefs.
The New Evangelization in a Digital Culture
The document discusses the impact of digital culture on the Catholic Church's efforts towards the New Evangelization. It notes that digital culture has fundamentally shifted communication patterns in a similar way as the printing press centuries ago, challenging established hierarchies and democratizing access to information. The Church must adapt to this new environment by fostering online relationships and embracing a "hyperlinked parish" model where community leaders act as connections between the Church and those interacting with it digitally.
Ecumenism examples and impact
Christian ecumenical movements in Australia have had a significant impact by promoting unity among denominations and addressing social issues. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity brings together different Christian churches in prayer and worship. The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ecumenical Commission advocates on indigenous rights and policy through a united Christian voice. The Uniting Church of Australia, formed through church union, continues ecumenical work through theological dialogue with other denominations.
Sports and Religion
This document discusses the relationship between religion and sports. It covers how sports have both conflicted with and been integrated with various religious traditions over time. For example, it describes how sports were initially denounced by some Christian groups but later became more widely accepted. It also examines how sports and religion share similarities as forms of communal ritual and experience. The document explores perspectives on whether sports can be considered a type of popular religion or if they are completely separate spheres.
Sport & religions
This document discusses religion and sports from sociological perspectives. It explains that from a social constructionist view, religions and sports are cultural practices that are socially constructed and take different forms based on social and historical contexts. They are not essential or unchanging, but rather are defined and practiced in ways that reflect the social conditions in which they exist. The document provides examples of how Protestant values were linked to the development of capitalism, demonstrating how religions can influence and be influenced by broader social and economic forces.
Social change essay
1. Scholars debate whether religion hinders or promotes social change.
2. Functionalists like Durkheim and Parsons believe religion maintains social stability, while Marxists like Marx argue it hinders change by legitimizing inequality.
3. Weber believed religion could act as a catalyst for change by shaping cultural and economic systems, as seen with Calvinism and capitalism.

Religion
This document discusses sociological perspectives on religion. It covers topics like defining religiosity, types of religious organizations, trends in religion in the US, and how religion affects both individuals and society. It also explores theoretical perspectives on the functions and dysfunctions of religion from a sociological standpoint.
Religion
The document discusses sociological perspectives on religion from theorists such as Durkheim, Marx, and Weber. Some key points:
- Durkheim viewed religion as a social construct that binds society through shared beliefs and rituals. It represents a collective conscience that exists beyond individuals.
- Marx saw religion as promoting false consciousness and acceptance of unequal conditions, especially among the working class. It encourages resignation to earthly suffering.
- Weber linked the rise of Protestantism to the establishment of modern capitalism, as its doctrine of predestination influenced values like hard work and thrift.
Who Runs Your Church
This lesson, written by Chuck Webster, gives an overview of the organization of the New Testament Church. It is the 8th lesson in the Lads to Leaders PEARLS book.
Theories of Religion
This document discusses several theories of religion, including substantive, functional, and social constructionist definitions. It outlines Durkheim's functionalist view that religion serves to reinforce social solidarity and the collective conscience. Durkheim believed worship of sacred symbols and totems represented worship of society. The document also discusses Marxist views that religion acts as an ideology used by the ruling class to oppress workers, and feminist perspectives that see religion as reflecting and perpetuating patriarchal social structures and the subordination of women. Criticisms of several of these perspectives are also presented.
Sociology of Religion
This document discusses several key topics related to the sociology of religion:
1) It defines religiosity and the different ways people can express or experience religion.
2) It outlines Ernst Troeltsch's typology of religious organizations as ecclesia, church, sect, and cult. It then describes the characteristics of each type.
3) It discusses some of the major theoretical perspectives in sociology on how religion affects society and individuals, such as the functionalist, conflict theory, and rational choice perspectives. Religion can both unite and divide society.
Unit 3 Sociology: Beliefs in society
Religion plays complex and varied roles in society according to different sociological perspectives. Functionalists view religion as primarily serving conservative functions by promoting social solidarity and stability. However, Marxists see religion as an ideological tool used by the ruling class to legitimate inequality. Feminists argue that most religions reflect and reinforce patriarchal values and the subordination of women. Some sociologists such as Weber view religion as capable of driving social change, while others see it more as a conservative force seeking to maintain traditional beliefs and social structures. Debates also exist around secularization and the declining importance of religion in modern societies.
Sociology and relgions
Religion plays an important role in society according to sociological theories. Marx saw religion as an ideology used by the ruling class to justify social inequality and oppress the working class. It creates false consciousness and masks the real issues of exploitation under capitalism. Durkheim viewed religion as an integrative force that provides meaning, social solidarity, and shared values in a society. People often change religions due to outside societal forces such as changes in education, marital status, geography, and generational assimilation rather than purely personal choice.
Religion and society revision
The document discusses several religious and ethical issues:
1. It addresses different Christian views on the authority of the Bible and how it is used to make moral decisions.
2. It examines the role of the Church and whether Christians should always follow their conscience or the teachings of the Church.
3. It explores the concept of situation ethics and whether Christians should base their decisions on producing loving outcomes in a given situation rather than following absolute rules.
Chapter 14 religion
This document discusses sociological perspectives on religion. It explains that sociologists study religion's social dimensions and influence on society rather than its spiritual aspects. Three main sociological perspectives are discussed: functionalism views religion as creating social order and unity; conflict theory examines how religion affects social change; and symbolic interactionism sees religion as providing symbolic meaning. Religious organizations such as churches, denominations, sects, and cults are also analyzed. Finally, the document reviews dimensions of religious commitment and trends in religion in the United States.
Chapter14
- Religion is defined as a set of beliefs in supernatural forces that help people make sense of the world and solve problems.
- All societies have some form of religion which typically includes rituals, beliefs about the soul and life after death.
- Religions can range from individualistic cults with no specialists to ecclesiastical cults with full-time priests in more complex societies.
Gender comm project
This document discusses religion as a social institution that constructs and constrains gender. It examines how religions assign gender roles and participate in defining concepts of sex, gender, and sexuality. While religions often justify social inequalities, they have also empowered marginalized groups and been a force for liberation. The complex interplay between religious institutions and social constructs of gender is explored through various historical examples.
LGBT Spirituality
This document discusses LGBT spirituality and religion. It begins by defining key terms like LGBT and spirituality. It then discusses the relationship between spirituality, religion, and LGBT identity, noting that one can be both LGBT and spiritual/religious. The document outlines various faith traditions and organizations that are working to be more inclusive of LGBT individuals. It provides examples of LGBT-focused religious groups that have formed in response to exclusion. Finally, it raises discussion questions about religious intolerance faced by the LGBT community.
Religion as a social institution (educ)
Religion is a social institution involving beliefs and practices based on conceptions of the sacred and profane. It involves rituals and ceremonial behavior but cannot be scientifically validated since it relies on faith rather than evidence. Sociology can study religion's social consequences. Durkheim viewed religion as society's symbolic power over individuals, maintaining social cohesion, control, and meaning. Marx noted religion legitimizes inequality and the status quo. Weber's Protestant ethic thesis showed how religion can promote social change like capitalism. Religions differ in their integration into society from churches to sects to cults.

Bosch chapter 12
The chapter discusses shifts in the paradigm of mission theology, including understanding mission as the church-with-others, as missio Dei (God's mission), as mediating salvation, as the quest for justice, and as evangelism. Key points are that mission is the essence of the church, the local church is fundamental to mission, and the church must hold the tension between being called out of the world and sent into the world.
LGBT Spirituality
This document discusses LGBT spirituality and religion. It defines key terms like LGBT and spirituality. While some faith traditions have excluded LGBT people, others have become more inclusive by creating space for LGBT members and reconsidering scripture. The document explores LGBT participation and advocacy groups within various religions like Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Native American traditions, Unitarian Universalism and Paganism. It acknowledges that for some, spirituality and religious community remain important despite lack of acceptance.

It provides examples of LGBT-affirming religious organizations within Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Native American traditions, and Paganism. The document advocates for greater religious acceptance and inclusion of LGBT people.
“Should we accept any human tradition in the Lord’s church?” Reviving the con...
Human traditions have widely opened the gates for several innovations. These innovations have eroded and altered the government of the church and also the doctrinal foundational elements of the church. With respect to the effects of the changing world, the lord’s church is being handled without the full consideration of the New Testament’s doctrines. It is very clear that the doctrines are the foundational underpinnings that hold the church in its form. On the one hand, there are aspects of these directional doctrines that demand the method of the (constituents of the church) Christians. On the other hand, there are certain principles that provide (fixed /unchanging) directional guide that are used to help steer and in the administration of the church. But these doctrines are being tampered with, as human traditions or ideas or directives are held in primary order and thus these doctrines being secondary. This work brings to light the nature and thus revival of the doctrinal concept of the autonomy of the local congregation. The paper establishes theoretical claim and facts with references to the scriptures that there is no revelation of an organization of churches tied together under any kind of ecclesiastical government. As the work explains indepthly, local congregations are independent from each other, but not providing a shield for doctrinal error and thus can be rebuked by other local churches if it goes wayward. There is no provision for universal officers under Christ in the church on earth. Any form of body of people who decides for a group of churches in the form of mass organization is a step in the APOSTATIC direction as against the doctrines of Jesus Christ. However this work does not reject the idea of one church providing a helping hand to other local congregation.
