The Catholic Church has a magisterium - its teachings have a God-given authority that is equal to the authority of scripture. The Pope has even got the power to make infallible statements - statements that cannot be questioned. Within Protestant churches, the church has an advisory role. It can recommend one action over another, it can condemn certain actions entirely - you can even be kicked out of the church for certain actions. However, the individual is still left to decide where to stand in relation to church teaching.

There are various events in the Old Testament were there are gathering of God’s people. Churches today continue with one shift, now we don’t become Israelites we become Christians.

Assignment on Theology, church and worship Case study, ‘Assemble’ a gathering together of participating persons, constitutes the most basic symbol of Christian worship’ (Gordon Lathrop Holy people p. 21). How does the practice of Christian Worship express ecclesial identity? Introduction: Gordon Lathrop applies liturgical theology on his book Holy Things, giving much importance to all components of worship and how it is linked to the notion of ‘church’. As community and assembly are principally emphasized, Saint Augustine (354-430) does pronounce a sacrament to be a noticeable apparent outline of a deep concealed grace; also, the Eucharist appears to be the most fundamental sacrament given that Catholics regard it as a means of mercy and blessing to those who experience and accept the holy body and blood of Jesus through the bread and wine, also referred to as thanksgiving. In the story of Emmaus, two men identified Jesus as he broke the bread (symbolic action that represents his breaking body on the cross) before sharing it with the other disciples.

The Church adopted the term order from its use in the Roman Empire, where it referred to a governing group. In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, there are three degrees or "orders": bishop, priest, and deacon. The rite of ordination is the sacramental act that makes this possible. Ordination "confers a gift of the Holy Spirit that permits the exercise of a 'sacred power' …which can come only from Christ himself through the Church" (CCC, no.
The Catholic Church believes the sacrament of marriage is an opportunity designed to join two souls together and experience a sense of agape love; however the Catholic Church acknowledges a need for an annulment under certain circumstances. The research stated shows the views and understandings of the sacrament of matrimony, the circumstances and explanation of how and when an annulment would be seen as acceptable, then an explanation of an annulment and how a person who has filed for an annulment plays a role in the church and to the society as a whole. Throughout the Bible, there are constant references to marriage. From the first book, God made man and thought he needed a wife; he removed a vital part of the body, a rib, to
