What is Confirmation? How can we celebrate our personal life of faith ? Liturgy and worship are very important to celebrate our personal life. We have many beginnings in our lives and we celebrate each beginning in our personal life of faith by acknowledging God’s initiative and our response. These two movements God’s action and our response are intertwined in such a way that we cannot examine them separately, they run together. You might be wondering where I am going with this.

the name "Catholic Apostolic Church (Catholicate of the West)." The name was used by an ecumenical prayer movement om the early 19th century. The movement included the Gifts in the Holy Spirit but it was suppressed by the local churches. Considered a “Forerunner of the Charismatic Movement,” Edward Irving was born in Scotland. A college graduate, he became a minister in the Church of Scotland, which was Presbyterian. In 1822 he was called to pastor Caledonia Church with about 50 members. He had

time. They required all Catholics pay tribute to the papacy and in return they were granted salvation. During this time there were little to no free thinkers, due to the fear brought about by the papacy. Only a few individuals dared to question the Church. Individuals like Martin Luther. Martin Luther was a Catholic

The English philosopher and Spiritualist Franciscan, William of Ockham, a contemporary of Marsilius, also sought shelter at the court of Luwdig. Unlike Marsilius or Dante, Ockham respected the institution of the papacy and believed it had an important spiritual role to play, however he rejected the idea of papal plenitude of power. He instead wished to clarify the nature of papal jurisdiction instead of completely denying it. Ockham regarded the pope’s nature as a spiritual agent in a similar way

The scene I found most significant in the Pope John Paul II movie was when Karol, aka Pope John Paul II’s name before he became a Pope, decided to become a priest. The reason being is because it was actually a huge change in his life. Deciding to become a priest affected many people in different ways, but specifically himself is what I’m talking here. There was so many things going on his life/ he had so much potential for many other things. But he ultimately chose to be a priest. Karol’s dad was

It is argued by some that religion is the belief in one god. Others argue that religion is the belief in several gods. Then there are those who classify religion as any belief an individual holds as faith. The reason why there are so many different definitions of religion is because the term means different things to different people.

I grew up in a small town where there was no pluralism, only Christianity. My town as well as the majority of Western Oklahoma might as well have had an established religion of Christianity. Because I have this background I can say that without a shadow of a doubt that if a political scientist were to survey the population of my town, the majority of the residents if not unanimously would concur that the only way our country can be saved is if we foster a more Christian-like atmosphere.

Anglican Church, more commonly known as The Church of England, exists worldwide and has been since 1534. The service of an Anglican Church communion can be witnessed at St Matthews Anglican Church, West Pymble, Sydney. What is also evident in this worship are the beliefs of Christianity. These beliefs include that Christ is fully divine and fully human, God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, there is one God, Jesus resurrected and his eternal life after death. St Matthew’s Anglican Church had an amazing

Claudius had taken to the traditions of drinking and the firing of cannons. A tradition of which Hamlet had not cared for; the way Martin Luther did not care for the teaching of the Catholic Church. They both felt as if other things were more appropriate. The people of Europe followed the teaching of the Catholic Church and the bible. They chose their actions and feelings based on those faith. They took to buying indulgences in the belief that they would spend less time in purgatory. Hamlet also shared
