Abstrak:Pandemi Convid-19 telah mengubah peradaban manusia. Pandemi ini bukan lagi hanya sebatas penyakit yang melanda umat manusia. Pandemi ini menjadi momentum bagi manusia untuk mengupayakan perspektif baru tentang kehidupan. Hal itu juga yang terjadi bagi gereja. Pandemi Covid-19 telah menggoncang kemapanan bergereja seperti ini, seperti fenomena ibadah rumah yang menggantingkan ibadah di ruang gereja. Tidak hanya itu saja, pertemuan ragawi digantikan oleh pertempuan virtual. Karena itulah, gereja perlu menampilkan wajah baru akibat pandemi Covid-19. Wajah baru gereja itu diupayakan terhadap pemaknaan Perjamuan Kudus, sebab Perjamuan Kudus tidak hanya ritus dalam gereja. Perjamuan Kudus menjadi rujukan nilai dalam mengupayakan pola bergereja yang aktual dan otentik di dunia ini.Kata Kunci:Perjamuan Kudus, Pandemi Covid-19, Gereja Abstract:The Convid-19 pandemic has changed human civilization. This pandemic is no longer just a disease that afflicts humanity. This pandemic has become a momentum for humans to seek new perspectives on life. That is also the case for the church. The Covid-19 pandemic has shaken the establishment of churches like this, such as the phenomenon of house worship which has replaced worship in church spaces. Not only that, physical encounters were replaced by virtual clashes. For this reason, the church needs to put on a new face due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The new face of the church is sought for the meaning of Holy Communion, because Holy Communion is not only a ritual in the church. Holy Communion becomes a reference value in pursuing an actual and authentic church pattern in this world.Key words:Holy Communion, The Covid-19 Pandemic, Church

AbstractThe following paper depicts the history of Saint Simeon Stylites Uniate Parish in Rachanie since it became known in historical sources until 1811- that is the time it ceased to be an independent church unit. The introduction of the article contains the geographical location of the parish, its size and the position within the hierarchical structure of the Church. Having analysed post-visit inspection protocols left by Chelm Bishops, the appearance as well as fittings and ancillary equipment of the church in Rachanie in that particular period are reported. Moreover, the list of 4 local clergymen is recreated and their benefice is determined. As far as possible, both the number of worshipers and the number of Holy Communion receivers is determined.

This chapter maps the essential contours and points of dialogue or contention pertaining to the sacraments among Presbyterian denominations. First, the chapter examines the distinctively Presbyterian understanding of sacraments in general. The chapter then explores in detail the theological meaning and practices of the two Presbyterian sacraments: baptism and Holy Communion. For Presbyterians, baptism serves as the rite of Christian initiation. The chapter also explains why Presbyterians practice paedobaptism. While baptism is for Presbyterians the sacrament of initiation into the church, the sacrament of Holy Communion is at the core of the church’s corporate life and work. The chapter next examines several contemporary issues related to the sacraments for Presbyterians. In the spirit of “the Reformed church always being reformed according to the Word of God,” the chapter concludes by posing several provocative questions for Presbyterian denominations and the sacraments in the digital age.

In February 1889 Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln, appeared before the court of the Archbishop of Canterbury charged with illegal practices in worship. The immediate occasion for these proceedings was the manner in which he celebrated Holy Communion at the Lincoln parish church of St Peter at Gowts on Sunday 4 December 1887. He was cited on six specific charges: the use of lighted candles on the altar; mixing water with the communion wine; adopting an eastward-facing position with his back to the congregation during the consecration; permitting the Agnus Dei to be sung after the consecration; making the sign of the cross at the absolution and benediction, and taking part in ablution by pouring water and wine into the chalice and paten after communion. Two Sundays later King had repeated some of these acts during a service at Lincoln Cathedral. As well as its intrinsic importance in defining the legality of the acts with which he was charged, the Bishop’s trial raised issues of considerable importance relating to the nature and exercise of authority within the Church of England and its relationship with the state. The acts for which King was tried had a further significance since the ways in which these and other innovations in worship were perceived, as well as the spirit in which they were ventured, also reflected the fundamental shifts which were taking place in the role of the Church of England at parish level in the second half of the nineteenth century. Their study in a local context such as Lincolnshire, part of King’s diocese, provides the opportunity to examine the relationship between changes in worship and developments in parish life in the period.

Eucharist for believers - Age does not matter - And alcohol? For centuries the church accepted the principle that the Holy Communion is meant only for adult believers. This view changed fortunately. The other assumption remains, namely that wine, and to be more precise, alcoholic wine, is to be used. Understandably there would be parents who are of the opinion that they don’t want to expose their children to alcohol. How constitutive is wine - and alcoholic wine in particular - then for the Eucharist? This article argues that the presence of Christ should be sought in the faithful use of the elements, in communion with other believers.

This chapter focuses on worship and liturgy in the Church of England. It first considers the form of liturgy used by the Church of England before discussing the performance of regular services in the Church. It then examines Church practice with regard to baptism, confirmation, confession, and holy communion including reservation of the sacrament. It also explains the Church policy with respect to holy matrimony, with particular emphasis on marriage by banns and by licence, superintendent registrar's certificates as a means of authorising a wedding, solemnisation of marriage, marriages in chapels, further marriage of divorced persons, and same-sex marriage. The chapter concludes by analysing how the Church conducts burials and funerals and looking at other church services such as daily offices, visitation of the sick, and exorcism.

A more meaningful evening service We inherited the practice of the evening service (evening prayer), and with it the problem of its diminishing importance. Various factors contributed to this state of affairs. Guidelines for a more meaningful evening service, are: » It must be a genuine church service » It must have a different character from the morning service, and as such a freer character. » The form should be varied and can have alternatively different accents: an ordinary morning service, a service with holy communion, a service with the accent on teaching, prayer, song, the main lines of the church work, confession and witness, discussion or fellowship/koinonia. The watch word is proper preparation, good control, variation and responsibility.

The following paper explores the sanctity of the late eighteenth-century High Church Anglican layman, William Stevens (1732—1807), as seen through the eyes of his biographer, Sir James Allan Park (1763–1838). A largely unstudied figure, Stevens, a prosperous London hosier who dedicated most of his adult life to philanthropic, theological and ecclesiastical concerns, arguably represents one of the most important figures within pre-Tractarian High Churchmanship. Park was a close friend of Stevens. A judge of the Common Pleas and a founding member of Stevens’s ‘Club of Nobody’s Friends’, Park shared Stevens’s interest in theology and church-related concerns, even publishing in 1804 a short discourse directed towards young people, on the need for a frequent reception of Holy Communion. In focus here is a facet of Stevens’s life that came to be closely associated with his many achievements as a lay divine and activist within the pre-Tractarian Church of England, namely, his personal sanctity; this was marked by a close connection between faith and works, a strict dedication and devotion to the Church of England’s services and sacraments, and a rejection of’enthusiasm’ in its pejorative sense — all of which he held while maintaining a strong sense of cheerfulness and zeal. A portrait of sanctity that conforms to what is known about pre-Tractarian spirituality, the Memoirs may additionally be viewed as offering a representative understanding of what constituted holiness for this Anglican tradition.

Five hundred years after the Reformation, it is tempting to celebrate this influential and significant event. The Reformation, however, as an incident which also tore apart the Church, should be commemorated, but not celebrated. What can be commended, however, is the courage shown by those involved in the Reformation, especially as seen in the figure of Martin Luther. In this contribution, I will examine the courageous voices of the Reformers, who confronted the status quo of their day in order to also draw some guidelines for a similarly courageous and prophetic theology in the present day. The concept of community and Holy Communion will especially be stressed in this regard.

The division of family responsibilities, which are designed for each house­hold member and harmonious family relationships are one of the most important keynotes of St. John’s Chrysostom preaching. In order to explain this issue he wrote homily on the Epistle to the Ephesians. According to it, the role of father in household is based on following Christ. Husbant’s relationship to his wife, especially respect for her, should be built by analogy to the relationship between Christ and the Church. The author calls the family a “small church”, comparing it to the Church as the Mystical Body. Living of the “small Church” is permeated with prayer and Holy Scripture reading. Firstly husband – the head of the family, performs the following Christian actions: reads inspired texts, strengthens himself by the sacrament of the Eucharist (that is , he takes the Holy Communion). And thanks to that going to church and celebrate the Lord’s Day, are the usual practice of all members of the parva Ecclesia.
