This chapter recounts the theology of the sacraments of the post-Enlightenment Reformed theologian, philosopher, and pastor Friedrich Schleiermacher, who is often considered the father of modern liberal theology. He was unique in that rather than rooting his theologies of the sacraments in a “magical” or “empirical” approach, Schleiermacher advocated a “mystical” approach, grounded in “the religious affections of the Christian community” united in its redemption through Jesus Christ. Baptism and Eucharist are therefore “actions which establish and preserve communion of life with Christ in the present day.” His approach to the theology of the sacraments was quite ecumenical, for while disagreeing with Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli he accepted their views as equally valid, rather than reasons for division in the church.

The Way

This chapter considers the role that the sacraments of baptism and Eucharist play in fostering a proper attitude of intellectual humility within Christian community. The sacraments dramatically enact the union with Christ that we have argued in previous chapters to define Christian intellectual humility, embodying the truth that our intellectual identities are not autonomous, but are dependent upon the constitutive identity of Jesus Christ and are located within the community of the church. Both baptism and Eucharist are understood within the New Testament to communicate the eschatological identity of the church, and therefore the distinctive character of our relationship to the reality of evil. The chapter will pay particular attention to the way that Paul directs his readers to think differently in response to the significance of the sacraments. It will also consider the close connection of the command to ‘love one another’ to the sacraments.

Martinho Lutero a partir da sua ênfase na justiça passiva tocou emdiversos temas caros à igreja de seu tempo. Um desses temas é o sacerdócio.Seu posicionamento ficou conhecido como a defesa do Sacerdócio Geral detodos os crentes. Foi um parecer um tanto quanto conflituoso em seu tempohaja vista a comum separação entre o clero e o laicato (povo). Essa separação,bem como a compreensão do sacerdócio, é oriunda de uma progressivacompreensão acerca das funções eclesiais e sua relação com a comunidadecristã. No entanto, Lutero, enquanto biblista, questiona esta posição progressivaresgatando aspectos que julga terem sido esquecidos pela sua igreja e quevieram somar à esta em prejuízo. Defende que todas as pessoas cristãs sãosacerdotes por estarem inseridas por meio do batismo no ministério de JesusCristo. Isso se desdobra no fato de que cada pessoa cristã é responsável echamada a servir neste e por este sacerdócio na igreja e, concomitante, porsua vocação, no mundo.Palavras-chave: Sacerdócio. Martinho Lutero. Vocação.Abstract: From his emphasis on passive righteousness, Martin Luther has approachedseveral valued themes to the church of his time. One of these themesis the priesthood. His positioning became known as the defense of the Priesthoodof all Believers. It was a conflicting view for his time due to the commonseparation between the clergy and the laity (people). This separation, as well asthe understanding of the priesthood, stems from a progressive understanding ofecclesial functions and its relationship with the Christian community. However,Luther, as a professor of Bible, questions this progressive position by rescuingaspects that he believes were forgotten by his church and ended up bringing lossto it. He argues that every Christian is a minister due to the fact that this personis inserted through baptism into the ministry of Jesus Christ. This emphasizesthe fact that every Christian is responsible and called to serve in the ministryand, ultimately, for his vocation in the world.Keywords: Priesthood. Martin Luther. Vocation.

Generally, Christian prayer is related to the prayer taught by Jesus Christ, namely the Lord’s prayer. Christian community practices the Lord’s prayer in their worship, either in their family or in the Church. The question is “Do Christians understand and know the deep meaning of the prayer very well?” This question is important because the prayer talks about the intimate relationship between God and the believers. In this article, the writer tries to scrutinize the spiritual expressions of the prayer and to find the essence of the prayer that describes the manifestation of the believer’s love to God.

The increase in migration at the international level also increases the number of religiouslymixed marriages. The Catholic Church advises against entering into such marriages because thisissue refers to the laws of God and the question of preserving faith. The Catholic Church approvesof mixed marriages in terms of nationality or race because belonging to the Church is primarilydetermined by faith in Jesus Christ and baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity. Independentlyof canon law, progressive social secularization is noticeable on that subject matter.

 In recent years social work has increasingly focused on spirituality and religion as key elements of cultural competency.  The Joint Commission—the nation's largest health care accrediting organization—as well as many other accrediting bodies require spiritual assessments in hospitals and many other mental health settings. Consequently, specific intervention strategies have been fostered in order to provide the most appropriate interventions for religious clients. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the fourth largest and one of the faster growing churches in the United States.  In an effort to facilitate cultural competence with clients who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ, a brief spiritual assessment instrument was developed.  This mixed-method study asked experts in Church culture (N = 100) to identify the degree of cultural consistency, strengths, and limitations of the brief spiritual assessment instrument. Results indicate that the framework is consistent with Church culture and a number of practice-oriented implications are offered.

In what ways are the Johannine Epistles a response to empire ideology and propaganda? These Epistles proclaim a more complete and correct cosmology, a greater Savior and soteriology, a better pedagogy, a truer doctrine, a sounder koinōnia, and a more nurturing paterfamilias; moreover, they do so while indicting schismatics, who, in the view of the elder, represent the face of the empire. Although the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ drive the elder’s witness and ministry, he must still shape his message to counter the encroachment of empire in the church and on the mission field.

"The Beginning and Spread of Christianity in Rome. Christianity was preached in Rome since its very beginning. Among those who were baptised on the Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem there were some citizens of Rome. These were some of the Roman Jews, who has thirteen synagogues in the capital of the Empire, but there were also some of the pagans living in Rome. They were the first preachers of Christianity in Rome, who managed to lay the foundation of the Church from the capital of the Empire. A great number of the seventy Apostles of Jesus Christ came and preached Christianity in Rome. Their activity was intense and fruitful because in 57 or 58 A.D when Saint Apostle Paul wrote in Corinth the Epistle to the Romans, he is happy about the christians from the church of Rome: “First, I want to thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world. For God is my witness.” Rom.5,8. Christianity in Rome spread even more with the arrival of the Saints Apostles Peter and Paul. They consolidated and organized the Church from the Capital of the Empire and so, through their arrival, Christianity moved from Jerusalem to Rome. Key words: Jesus Christ, Peter, Paul, Church, Christianity, Apostles, Gospel, Rome."
