Bishops' Bible

hospitality is where we are told that if we do not welcome the poor, the hungry and the needy we have not welcomed Jesus. I could go on and on in showing a scriptural basis for hospitality because it is a theme that runs throughout the entirety of the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. There are places where it works as it should and even places where it does not work well when the guest are not hospitable in return. We see from those scriptures that even though we are hospitable not everyone we welcome

The policies regarding appointment transition can be found on the Baltimore-Washington Conference website at http://bwcumc.org/toolbox/2015/04/27/transition-policies/. These policies are designed to aid the transitioning pastors as well as the congregation in having a smooth transition of pastoral leadership. These are particularly important as transitions can be very difficult especially if the congregation has formed a close bond with the outgoing pastor. These policies set the boundaries that

Protestants believed in sola scriptura; that the Bible and other holy texts had supreme authority. Firstly, one example that supports the interpretation that the scriptures were most important to Henry VIII’s government can be seen in Source D. This source is a speech by King Henry to the House of Lords from 1545, which makes it useful in analysing the beliefs of Henry VIII’s government in the period from 1538 to 1546. In his speech, Henry refers to the Bible as “that most precious jewel”, which clearly

In Willa Cather’s The Death comes for the Archbishop, Father Latour is clearly portrayed as a person with deep concern and understanding for the people and a desire that makes a lasting impact on the land that ultimately becomes his new home. He is committed himself to self-sacrifice for the sake of the people he seeks to serve and exhibits a strong sense of courage in setting his own needs aside. Father Latour’s influence on the people that he encounters makes him the heroic figure in the novel

All priests know the hassle they will face whenever they make even minor changes to congregational worship. They know they must inevitably endure bitter assaults on their character and motives. Just such an experience, shortly after I left St Timothy's, left Reverent Fran again feeling confused, hurt, and frightened. A few young people had requested a livelier brand of music in the liturgy instead of the staid old organ-based Elizabethan hymns the parish was familiar with. Immediately, she began

In a world context of ever-growing LGBT rights, since Pope Francis's election in 2013 there has been renewed hope that the Catholic Church is evolving towards greater tolerance of sexual minorities. Huffington Post published a story in August 2015 featuring a unique nun, known pseudonymously as Sister Monica, who claims that her God-ordained purpose is to provide religious guidance for transgender people (Gadoua). Although this article seemingly indicates a major shift within religious institutions

In James's time, it was a period where one of the most corrupt presidents of the century was in power and had high authority; Georges W. Bush. This resulted in the utter absence of spirituality and lead to brainwashing peoples' minds with false values and objectives/priorities. James lived in a rural middle class occupied area near Birmingham, Alabama. Life at the time was almost much about surviving, building careers, and taking care of meaningless responsibilities, very much comparable to today

For Video Reflection Paper Two, I decieded to watch and write about “Paradise Bent”. “Paradise Bent” follows Heather Croall learning about the Fa’afaine’s of Somoa everyday life, past, and place in their culture. Fa’afaine are Somoan boys who are brought up as girls, and act as girls in everyday Samoan life. The first aspect of the video I found interesting was how it seemed that the Fa’afaine are a new trend and sect of Samoan society. What I found interesting was how the arrival of the European

The Sister’s of Mercy live up to five critical concerns, which means that they have five focus points of which they feel are the strongest and most important issues to focus on. These topics include: Earth, Immigration, Racism, Women, and Nonviolence. While all five topics are important, the Sisters of Mercy work towards ending violence. The Sisters of Mercy focus on the violence of the community as well as how it surrounds school settings. Every day, a person is put into danger because of the place
