This is an overview of the second topic in the Edexcel Unit J Exam (which is on 18 May 2009), Catholic Christianity. It looks at four points you could make about each of the topics.
The Four Marks of the Church: One, Holy, Catholic, ApostolicDr. Poornima DSouza
1. The Church is “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.” These are the four characteristics or “marks” of the Church.
2. The Church is one because it is unique: Christ founded one Church, and fall members of the Church are united in his one body.
3. The Church has been afflicted by various schisms and divisions, but remains in essence one. All Christians are called to work toward greater unity with one another.

The Pontifical Assembly of the Whole Church is to examine divine revelation and how it is handed on. The synod takes its direction from the words of St. John: "We announce to you the eternal life which dwelt with the Father" (1 John 1:2-3).
In the beginning God created man in Christ, and through Christ man might have access to the Father and come to share in the divine nature (see Eph. 2:18; 2 Peter 1:4). In his goodness and wisdom God chose to reveal Himself and to make known to us the hidden purpose of His will. In Revelation, God out of abundance of His love speaks to men as friends and lives among them. This plan of revelation is realized by deeds and words having an inner unity. By this revelation then, the deepest truth about God shines out for our sake in Christ, who is both the mediator and the fullness of all revelation.
From the beginning God has kept the human race in His care, to give eternal life to those who perseveringly do good in search of salvation. Through the patriarchs and after them through Moses and the prophets, He taught this people to acknowledge himself as the one living and true God.
After speaking to men in many ways through the prophets, "now at last in these days God has spoken to us in His Son" (Heb. 1:1-18). For this reason Jesus perfected revelation by fulfilling it through his whole work of making himself present and manifesting himself.
In our Christian faith is an obedience by which man commits his whole self freely to God, offering the full submission of intellect and will to God who reveals. To make this act of faith, the grace of God and the interior help of the Holy Spirit must precede and assist, moving the heart and turning it to God.
A sacred synod has affirmed that God, the beginning and end of all things, can be known with certainty from created reality by the light of human reason. It teaches that it is through His revelation that those religious truths which are by their nature accessible to human reason can be know by all men with ease, with solid certitude.
In the beginning Jesus commissioned the Apostles to preach to all men that Gospel which is the source of all saving truth and moral teaching. This commission was faithfully fulfilled by the Apostles who, by their oral preaching, by example, and by observances handed on what they had received from the lips of Christ.
The Apostles left bishops as their successors, "handing over" to them "the authority to teach in their own place" (see 1 John 3:2). But in order to keep the Gospel forever whole and alive within the Church, they made bishops their successors. This sacred tradition, therefore, and Sacred Scripture of both the Old and New Testaments are like a mirror through which the pilgrim Church on earth looks at God.
The Apostles, handing on what they themselves had received, warn the faithful to hold fast to the traditions which they have learned either by word of mouth or by letter (see 2 Thess. 2:15). And so the apostolic preaching was.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
