When a person receives this sacrament they are first greeted by the minister. The liturgy of the Word is then held, which includes reading The Nicene Creed, Prayers of Intercession and Confession, and the greeting of peace. Then begins the liturgy of the Sacrament, which contains the Eucharistic Prayer and the receiving of the sacrament, in which the person receiving will eat bread and drink wine, which symbolize the body and blood of Christ. Although this is the way in which the Catholic Church has structured the spiritual/faith journey to guide a person, the artwork reflects the sacrament differently. The Last Supper shows the disciples having the bread and wine with Jesus; however the process of the sacrament is not shown.
Paul went on three missionary journeys, all of which he preached about Jesus’ teachings. On his first journey, he was accompanied by Barnabas and it ended when he had to return to Jerusalem for the Council. On his second journey, he travelled with Silas to Athens and Corinth where he preached at the Synagogue. His message was that all people, Jews and Gentiles were welcome in the Christian community. On his third journey, he revisited many of the communities he had founded or written to.
The essay topic that I will be writing about will be focusing on two parts that intersect. The essay will focus on Pope Urban’s reasons for the crusade and his aims and ambitions for the church. I will also be discussing the Popes use of exaggerating claims of christians suffering and being murdered and liberating the holy lands to gain support for the Crusade. I have looked at these sources and found some of these more useful than others in writing my paper. Pope Urban II’s call for a crusade:Four Accounts -This piece of work has four different accounts of one of the first sermons that Pope Urban gave about the crusade.
Barnes in Cooke, Barnes & Roberts (2003) writes that “sacraments take us out of ordinary or profane life to discover the drama or beauty of the divine” (p77) and thus experience Jesus. To understand the changes in sacramental theology and how it is impacted by Jesus’ presence, it important to examine the history of the church, it’s scriptures and the development of its traditions as these form the basis of the belief held by the Church and it’s followers (Boersma, 2011) . In the beginnings of our sacramental theology it was easy for believers to witness Jesus inthe sacraments. He participated in the lives of the community. He was “the sacrament of God.”(De Gidio, 1994,) The gospels and parables show how he led both his disciples and community by his example.
Evangelical Mega Churches and the Mobilization of Social Outreach Moral Ambition is a well written ethnography which delves into the realms of social outreach within Evangelical mega churches in Knoxville, Tennessee. Omri Elisha chose to observe two churches over an unspecified period of time gathering information on how social outreach is mobilized to the inner-city from mega churches located in the suburban muddle-upper class neighborhoods of Knoxville. The first was Marble Valley Presbyterian, a traditional protestant church with a two-hundred year past which maintains strong emphases on biblical instruction, pastoral leadership, and missionization. And secondly, he attended Eternal Vine Church which embraced an unconventional approach to Christianity; reshaping how the Gospel is presented to reach younger generations of religious seekers. The differing values of each church were beneficial for Elisha’s research as it expressed how social,

These two religion were similar in the belief of the way Communion should be run. They believe that the bread symbolizes the body of Christ. Also, they believe that the wine that is served to people as the blood of Christ. Both Churches had a different course after their split in 1054, but still intersected on their road. Both churches had a council to govern things accordingly after the split.
2a Explain how Peter carried out the role of leader in Acts. 35 marks Peter took on many different roles throughout the book of Acts, most notably the role as leader which I shall explain. Firstly looking at the day of Pentecost Peter can be seen carrying out the role of leader. The apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues which showed God speaking through them. This is the gift of the Holy Spirit that Jesus had promised them.
The record of the Lord’s Prayer has been recorded by Matthew and Luke in their account of Jesus Christ. This model of prayer has been part of Christian liturgy and tradition from the very beginning of Christendom. This model of prayer by Jesus Christ has been seen of underline the very theological mission and life of Jesus. Our Father who art in heaven The opening of the prayer, “Our Father who art in heaven” reflects Jesus’ own style of addressing God and which therefore also indicates Jesus’ intention that his disciples should share in his own sense of intimate sonship to God as Father. Jesus in the account of the four Gospels is seen to teach that God is our Father and seeks that kind of relationship with us.
