St. Basil the Great emphasizes the importance of both holy tradition and scripture in Orthodox Christian faith and practice. He notes that many traditions, such as making the sign of the cross and turning to the East for prayer, were not explicitly outlined in scripture but have been passed down through tradition. St. Basil also advocates for frequent reception of Holy Communion, stating that Christ said whoever eats His body and blood has eternal life, and sharing in life continually is the same as having life abundantly. He says the Orthodox at that time received Communion four times a week.
This document summarizes media coverage of Pope Francis and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby on issues related to poverty, women, homosexuality, and child abuse. It finds that both religious leaders receive significant press on their focus on poverty, but conservative views on women and homosexuality also receive coverage. Coverage of Welby's changing views on homosexuality over time is also documented. Criticism of both leaders for not going far enough in advancing social issues like women's rights and gay marriage is also presented.

This document discusses the need for church planting and evangelism in North America. It provides data showing that North America has hundreds of millions of non-churchgoers and is becoming increasingly post-Christian. New churches are the most effective way to evangelize as new believers often bring their unchurched friends. The Great Commission mandates church planting and multiplying disciples. Planting new churches expands God's kingdom and brings the heart of Jesus to more people in need. If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
Derrick Burrell: The Catholic Church Stands Strong in the 21st CenturyDerrick Burrell
The Catholic Church has stood strong through the 21st century despite challenges. While some see the Church's beliefs as outdated or misogynistic, the Church has been progressive in establishing institutions like universities and hospitals. The Church also developed concepts of justice, mercy, and generosity. Individual Catholics have also made significant artistic, literary, and architectural contributions. The Church continues to survive through its unbreakable lineage to Jesus Christ and by treasuring revelation, scripture, tradition, and reason - allowing it to adapt to modern beliefs while maintaining core teachings.
Christian movies can educate viewers about religious history and beliefs by portraying biblical stories and figures. Some films show investigative journalists challenging their non-religious views after loved ones find faith. Others depict families facing hardship during World War 2 and college professors debating God's existence with students. Many are biographical dramas about influential religious leaders like Martin Luther who sparked reforms.
The new church_repository_and_monthly_re_vol_i_1848Francis Batt
This document introduces a new periodical called The New Church Repository and Monthly Review. It aims to meet the needs of the growing New Church movement by providing a publication with wider scope than existing journals. Developments in science and philosophy are arousing public curiosity about Swedenborg's teachings. The editor believes this new journal can help satisfy inquiring minds and guide them to spiritual truths, addressing demands not met by existing Church efforts. It seeks to serve both New Church members and a wider audience interested in learning about Swedenborgian philosophy and theology.
Jesus outside the new testament; an introduction to the ancient evidence stud...Fabiano Dantas
This document discusses studying Jesus outside the New Testament. It was once thought Jesus could not be known historically or that such knowledge was not important for faith. However, over the past 20 years scholarship has made progress. Archaeological discoveries and studies of Jewish and Greco-Roman literature have provided new context. Jesus can now be understood historically and must be assessed to explain the period he lived in. Sources outside the New Testament, like classical and Jewish writings, shed light on Jesus, though they do not replace the Gospels. Studying these sources contributes to understanding Jesus and the development of early Christianity.

The passage describes how Satan attacked the early church in three ways after they received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost: physical persecution, moral corruption through Ananias and Sapphira lying about their gift, and finally distraction by trying to get the apostles focused on administrative tasks rather than prayer and preaching. Each attack was overcome as God judged Ananias and Sapphira, restrained further persecution under Gamaliel, and the apostles delegated administrative duties to allow their focus on ministry.
Unbelief is on the rise in modern secular society as skeptics become bolder and their influence grows in public institutions. Factors contributing to today's unbelief include biblical illiteracy, the church's weak adherence to scripture, the rise of humanism and other religions, and aggressive atheism. As God's word is marginalized, unbelief will continue to increase unless the church returns to preaching the absolute authority of the Bible and sharing the gospel message around the world. While unbelief and hostility toward Christianity will grow, Christians must remain steadfast in their faith and continue preaching the gospel in obedience to Christ's command.

Krindatch: 2010 Orthodox Census Power Pointjacobse
This document summarizes statistics and survey results about Orthodox Christianity in America, particularly the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (GOA). It finds that while the GOA has over 500,000 members, only about 23% attend services regularly. While many parishioners value the ethnic heritage, most clergy and laity are now born in America. Views on social issues are often more liberal than other Christian denominations. Retaining youth and developing clergy standards were top concerns.
This document contains announcements from St. Francis Church including information about new intercessory prayer and Bible study ministries. The intercessory prayer ministry will meet on Sundays at 9:30am to pray for the church service. The Laverde Casa Group Bible study meets the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 6pm to study the book of James. There is also a new flower chart sign-up posted for volunteers.
Welcoming the Stranger Presenter NotesMark Shenise
The document discusses the history of United Methodism welcoming strangers, beginning with John Wesley. It provides examples of how early Methodists, like Wesley, ministered to and helped strangers through preaching, social services, and societies like the Strangers' Friend Society. The document argues that by looking to this legacy, the United Methodist Church can continue its openness to all people through God's grace.
Leshan diocese is scheduled to ordain a bishop without papal mandate at the Our Lady of Rosary Church in Emeishan city in southwestern Sichuan province tomorrow, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul.
If Father Paul Lei Shiyin, the candidate to be ordained in Leshan, is a legal bishop under China’s regulation and policy as claimed by the “open” Church authorities, it means “the government is interfering into Church matters,” said a Church observer outside China today.
It also reflects a more restrictive policy imposed on the China Church and does not respect the observation given by the Church, he said, noting that there may be dozens more illegitimate bishops coming if the “open” Church is to fill 40 bishop vacancies.
The document discusses three theological challenges the church faces in engaging social media: 1) Be "reverse incarnational" by going to where people are online to share the gospel, 2) Maintain the importance of physical gatherings and sacraments while being present virtually, and 3) Promote counter-cultural spiritual practices like fasting from media in an online environment focused on constant connection. It provides examples of how churches can meet these challenges through their social media use and encourages the church to bravely enter online spaces to spread the gospel.
As a Catholic priest at the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Father Jeff Fasching ministers to the third-largest Hispanic population in the city. Previously a minister in Springfield, Missouri, and an associate pastor in Wichita, Kansas, Father Jeff Fasching is currently responsible for teaching, prison ministry, and exorcism ministry. In addition to these responsibilities, FR. Jeffrey offers Mass in Latin, the extraordinary form of the Catholic rite.

San Francisco priest, Father John Jimenez has served the community for over 20 years. Here is his homily from the Feast of St Francis 10/4/20 which can be seen on the St Mary's Cathedral livestream for their 1pm Spanish Mass
"Our readings today (Gal 6:14-18, Mt 11:25-30) reflect many of the virtues that Francis lived. When Jesus says, "Come to me all you who are burdened...for I am meek and humble of heart," we see in Francis how he grew in conforming himself to Christ in the service of the poor.
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.

Paul's theology was shaped by his missionary context in three key ways:
1. He targeted his message to the specific challenges facing each church community rather than presenting a systematic theology.
2. His theology was flexible, using a variety of metaphors and images from his cultural context to communicate the meaning of Christ's death.
3. While addressing each context, his message was rooted in the central gospel truths and challenged cultural practices that contradicted this.
Paul demonstrates that theology must be done missionally by engaging each culture but ensuring the gospel transforms rather than conforms to it. Effective missional theology requires contextualization without reducing Jesus to one cultural perspective.

The document provides an overview of the dark criminal history of many popes throughout history. It summarizes that popes were often decadent, savage military strategists, and engaged in trafficking of ecclesiastical appointments, deceit, scandals, immorality, aggression, fraud, murder and cruelty. It describes specific popes like Stephen VII who ordered a posthumous trial of a deceased pope and mutilated his body. It discusses the rule of the whores Theodora and Marozia who controlled the papacy in the 10th century and appointed lovers and relatives to the papacy. The true history of popes is far removed from their modern portrayal as devout and virtuous leaders.

This document contains the order of service for First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on April 3, 2016. It includes the sermon title "Courageous" based on Acts 4:1-14, announcements for upcoming events, and a weekly memory verse from Ephesians 4:32. It also contains commentary on Acts 4:1-14 from Jon Courson's Application Commentary on the New Testament discussing the opposition the apostles faced and their boldness in preaching about Jesus.
This presentation discusses the crisis in the Catholic Church, its causes, and its remedy. It asserts that the crisis was caused by liberalism, modernism, and errors that led to Vatican II. These resulted in a loss of vocations and the closing of churches and religious orders. The remedy is seen as restoring the traditional Latin Mass and Catholic traditions. The Society of St. Pius X is presented as upholding the traditional faith and mass, with over 600 priests and religious orders around the world. The motu proprio of 2007 allowing the traditional Latin mass more widely is discussed. Questions from the audience are invited on related topics and how to support the traditional restoration.

Torrential rains in Argentina caused widespread flooding that killed at least 31 people overnight, many of whom drowned after seeking shelter in their cars, and forced the evacuation of over 1,500 people. The floods also inundated the country's largest oil refinery, sparking a fire that took hours to control and led to the suspension of operations. This was described as the biggest weather-related disaster in Buenos Aires' history due to the intense rainfall over a short period of time.
This article discusses the appointment of Father Stephen Howell to the new role of director of ongoing formation for newly ordained priests in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Archbishop Cordileone created this position to provide additional support to priests in their first five years after ordination, which research shows is a critical time. Father Howell will work part-time in this role, mentoring new priests, while also serving as the new pastor of St. Philip the Apostle Parish in Noe Valley. The archdiocese already provides ongoing formation and each new priest chooses a personal mentor, but this additional role is meant to formally support the archbishop's relationship with and guidance of new priests.
Turning Points, chapter 13, Rise & Spread of Pentecostalismsandiferb
The document discusses the rise and spread of Pentecostalism in the 20th century, beginning with Charles Parham's teachings on spiritual gifts in the 1890s and the Azusa Street Revival in 1906, which sparked the global Pentecostal movement, resulting in over 500 million Pentecostal and Charismatic believers by 2000 as the movement continued its rapid worldwide growth.
John Paul II, the Pope from 1978 to 2005, led an extraordinary life that shaped his unifying legacy. He survived Nazi occupation in Poland and an assassination attempt. As Pope, he restored the Church's discipline and purpose, reasserting doctrines while pursuing reconciliation. His extensive foreign travel showed his care for people everywhere and advocacy for freedom, dignity, and justice. While his impact may not be clear for some time, he was undoubtedly a towering figure of the 20th century.
This document discusses the differences between Protestantism and Catholicism, specifically regarding their interpretations of biblical prophecy. It argues that Dispensational Futurism, which is widely accepted in Protestant circles today, is actually derived from Catholic traditions rather than the Bible.
The key points made are:
1) Catholicism bases its doctrines on extra-biblical church traditions, while Protestantism seeks to base doctrines solely on the Bible using the historicist method of interpretation.
2) The Reformers viewed prophecy as continually unfolding throughout history, not in disconnected future periods. They identified the papacy as the "Antichrist" foretold in the Bible.

This document discusses St. Francis of Assisi and how he created a popular expression of the Catholic Church through establishing a small fraternity of brothers who ministered directly to the poor. It highlights how Francis engaged in interfaith dialogue, cared for the environment, lived simply, and pioneered a nature-centered spiritual life. Pope Francis is quoted praising Francis for suffering accidents through engaging with people in the streets, rather than keeping the Church closed in on itself. The document poses questions about how Francis challenges perceptions of monasticism and calls Christians to form missional communities that incarnationally approach others.
A factual and balanced, non-judgmental investigation and exploration of certain Roman Catholic Church teachings in light of the Biblical Scriptures. The Difference - the eternal Protestant/Catholic tension - was something that the Chronicles clearly helped to define, and if you are interested in the uncompromising pursuit of truth, I know of no more better, readable and concise introductory work than Keith's series.
2 the catholic church background and overviewfasteddie
The document discusses the history and structure of Christianity and the Catholic Church. It describes how Christianity split into the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox branches. It outlines the Catholic Church's hierarchical structure headed by the Pope, and key events like the Great Schism of 1054 which divided Western and Eastern Christianity.
1) The document argues that recent Popes, beginning with John XXIII, have been satanic and heretical in promoting ecumenism and interfaith relations.
2) It provides examples of John Paul II engaging in activities with Hindus, Voodoo practitioners, and other faiths at Assisi that promoted syncretism and the "light of Lucifer."
3) The document strongly rejects the canonization of John Paul II and John XXIII, and views subsequent popes as apostates for destroying the true Catholic mass and further promoting heresy.

CDC: 80 percent of American adults don't get recommended exercisedisagreeablealc49
Only 20% of American adults meet the federal guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The guidelines recommend that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week along with muscle-strengthening exercises on two or more days per week. Inactivity and obesity have been linked to increased risk of several chronic diseases and conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.

Pope Francis And 'Cafeteria Catholics:' Can New Pontiff Draw In Unorthodox Believers?
1. Pope Francis And 'Cafeteria Catholics:' Can New Pontiff
Draw In Unorthodox Believers?
Will so-called "cafeteria Catholics" go hungry under Pope Francis?
The Guardian's Sam Jones lately wrote,
The challenge pertaining to Pope Francis is going to
be coaxing again individuals Catholics that go for by
themselves which in turn facets of church teaching
they accept. Could he obtain these errant types -
known disparagingly as à la carte or even cafeteria
Catholics - to always be able to dine in the fixed menu?
Senior Religion editor Rev. Paul Raushenbush and Christopher White, author involving "Renewal,"
joined HuffPost live host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani for you to discuss exactly what the new Pope
means for your Catholic Church.
Pope Francis has made waves for countless shocking statements, and often will that will get more
believers via your church door?
