The Church Of The Martyrs

The religious contributions of the early fathers of the Coptic Church have remained unnoticed and sometimes have been ascribed to the Greeks, until the relatively recent rediscovery of the Copts and their heritage. During the first four or five centuries of our era, Egypt produced some of the most illustrious names in Christian annals. Men such as Origen, Athanasius, Cyril the Great, St. Anthony, St. Pachomius, Shenute the Great, and many more have left their mark on the history of Christian civilization both within and outside

One of the many things the settlers of New France bought with them from France into North America was religion. Historians have argued that the church played huge part in the lives of the people in New France. Despite being far away from the leaders of the church and thus not directly under their control, the church still played a role in the lives of the people of New France. By the 1600s Jesuit missionaries had entered New France and started their attempts to convert the First Nations people. As more settlers moved into New France it was more difficult for the church to keep its status. They attempted with various methods to convert more First Nations and keep the European settlers in the church. However, post 1663, after the creation of the Royal Colony, the issues regarding religion and the issues it was causing did not decrease.

“According to the history of Orthodoxy, the first who came in the Greek territory to preach Christianity was Saint Paul in 49 AD. Although many people converted to Christianity in the centuries that followed, this didn 't become an official religion until the Emperor Constantine the Great established Christianity as the official religion of the Byzantine Empire (Greeka, N.A)”.

The Church of San Vitale is an historical building that should be considered to be turned into an art museum. The building itself is very beautiful on the outside and having replica of this building would bring beauty and individuality to Stillwater. This oddly shaped church that was built in Ravenna, Italy over 1,000 years ago, should be considered to be used as an art museum.

One of the issues of the Medieval church was that they were worried that their pastorate were not sufficiently concentrating on otherworldly matters and were concentrating a lot on material riches. This was created generally as a result of a development of riches inside of the religious communities and inside of the individual coffers of the church. With this came a rot of general ethical quality, displayed by the ascent of indecencies, for example, insatiability, lack of restraint, and savagery. The Church looked to defeat these indecencies essentially by expulsion and execution. The Reformation of the sixteenth century was not a surprise. Reformers inside of the medieval church, for example, St. Francis of Assisi, Valdes, Jan Hus, and

Did you know that Saint Anthony of Padua was not born Saint Anthony? Instead, he was born Fernando Martins de Bulhões. He also was the son of Martin and Mary who were part of a very prominent family in Portugal. He was born in 1195 and fun fact it was 13 years after Saint Francis. Additionally, he was sent to a monastery at the age of 15, but he was constantly experiencing heated political debates with his friends who would come visit. Because of this, Fernando was transferred to another monastery in the St. Augustine order where he learned Latin and theology.

Christ the King Catholic Church is located at 8005 Dorset Drive in Oklahoma City. The Catholic denomination is the oldest branch of organized Christianity. Being a member of the Catholic church means being a devout follower of God. It means that you believe in the the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and accept him as your lord and savior. Catholics are a part of the Church that Christ established and entrusted to Saint Peter and his successors, the popes. I attended the 10 a.m. mass at Christ the King on July 12, 2015. The service was a little over an hour long and it was an immensely different and interesting experience.

The St. James the Apostle Catholic Church in McDonough, Georgia was my second church visit. I visited the Catholic Church on Sunday, November 15, 2015 at the eleven o’clock service. The church is located on 1000 Decatur Rd. McDonough, GA 30253. I assumed that the Presbyterian Church was very different from my community church but the St. James the Apostle Catholic Church experience was no comparison to the Covenant Presbyterian Church whatsoever.

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher ca. 345 CE Jerusalem, Israel. It was erected on the site of the hill of Calvary (also known as Golgotha), where Christians believe that Jesus was crucified. It also contains Jesus’s tomb, in which He was buried until His resurrection. The church has been damaged and restored several times, with the current main dome dating to 1870. Even though the structure today is not from Constantine’s era (it was destroyed, rebuilt, and expanded and embellished), one can still see the parts of the church that owe their design to Roman architectural models: a basilican plan is combined with a domed space that recalls the Pantheon in Rome.

The history of the Ecumenical Patriarchate Church (EPC) began with the ancient patriarchy in five major cities. The first three large cities were Rome, Alexandria, Antioch and the following two Constantinople and Jerusalem played a significant role during the split of Christianity. St. Peter was centred in Rome first; however, after the split, he was also in Antioch. St. Mark was

As a licensed minister of the Church of the Nazarene, I am part of a tradition deeply rooted in the acknowledgement of the sanctifying, equipping, and calling work of the Holy Spirit. The unique marriage of Pentecostals and Methodists at the birth of the Nazarene church results in a manual of church practices which incorporates the dichotomy of the freedom of the Holy Spirit regulated by methodical standards of church polity. For this reason in the Nazarene church ministerial orders are first are instilled by the calling of the Holy Spirit, then recognized by the local congregation, and finally completed by the ordination of denominational officials. In order to understand the ministerial orders of Nazarene ministers, we will first the hierarchy of ministerial positions in the Nazarene church, discuss the qualifications and requirements of ministry, and finally review the mutual ministerial relationship between Nazarene congregations and their pastor.
