Counselling Approach

Each region certainly has its own past stories in the early church. In this case, the individual or group begins to remember something that happened in themselves and he can do memory activities while talking, listening and many other ways of remembering. Congregations in the current era, in understanding the meaning of togetherness in allied life, have begun to erode and fade. The purpose of this study is to describe the collective memory heritage of the congregation and to develop a counselling approach to promote congregational development. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical pattern. From the results of the research, the authors see that the church today is in dire need of counselling assistance in church development. The integrity of a congregation is highly expected for every individual and group through fellowship that is carried out within the scope of the church and society in increasing harmonious and peaceful life. AbstrakSetiap daerah tentu memiliki cerita-cerita masa lalu tersendiri pada jemaat mula-mula. Dalam hal ini, individu atau kelompok mulai mengingat-ingat sesuatu yang terjadi dalam diri pribadinya dan ia dapat melakukan aktivitas mengingat-ingat ketika sedang berbicara, mendengarkan dan masih banyak lagi cara mengingat-ingat lainnya. Jemaat di era saat ini, dalam memahami arti kebersamaan dalam hidup bersekutu sudah mulai terkikis dan memudar. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan warisan memori kolektif jemaat Adang dan mengembangkan pendekatan konseling untuk meningkatkan pembangunan jemaat Adang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan kualitatif dengan pola deskriptif-analitis. Dari hasil penelitian penulis melihat bahwa jemaat Adang saat ini sangat membutuhkan pendampingan konseling dalam pembangunan jemaat. Keutuhan suatu jemaat sangat di harapkan bagi setiap individu maupun kelompok melalui persekutuan yang dilakukan dalam lingkup gereja maupun masyarakat dalam meningkatkan hidup rukun dan damai.

How did the church building become sacred space? This chapter examines the second model: sanctity as represented by the presence of relics or the tombs of martyrs and saints. The popularity of the refrigerium in the fourth century provides ample testimony to the attraction of the tombs of saints and martyrs to the early church. And although the official celebrations ad sanctos were terminated by the end of the century, the cult of saints continued, finding an outlet in the practice of pilgrimage and the veneration of relics. While both were accepted customs, neither was officially sanctioned by the church. They may be best understood as manifestations of popular piety or of private devotion, satisfying the spiritual needs of the individual.

The Construction of Paul’s Self in His Writings: Narrative Identity, Social Memory and Metaphorical Truth

The article aims to investigate – in two autobiographical fragments of the Pauline writings (1 Cor. 15:8-10 and Gal. 1:13-24) – how the narrative mode enables the apostle to grasp the continuity and coherence of his identity, while integrating in the construction of his self disparate and discordant elements (like the Damascus event) which continually threaten the “narrative unity of a human life” (MacIntyre). Furthermore, since “collective memory” precedes and shapes the individual representation of the past (Halbwachs; Assmann), the article also examines how Paul integrates and negotiates in his construction of self-identity the “communal memories” shared by his social group, and in particular his past as persecutor of the Church. Finally, we shall describe the integration of these autobiographical fragments within their respective literary contexts and explore the “metaphorical truth” – or the “refiguration” of reality – which is produced by these different “configurations” of Pauline identity (Ricoeur).

Part I, on patristic theologies of salvation, covers Origen, Irenaeus, Augustine, Athanasius, and the Cappadocians. This overview chapter demonstrates that although the patristic era of the church never produced a unified or systematic theory of salvation, the ancient writers were diligent to articulate pastoral and practical doctrine helpful to their congregations, which certainly included teaching about salvation. Williams overviews the differing approaches regarding salvation early theologians constructed, while explaining how the early church writings focused primarily on the giver of salvation through Christ rather than on the receiver of salvation in the individual.

Поводом к написанию статьи послужил наблюдающийся в последнее время возросший научный интерес к человеческой личности. Поскольку одним из главных условий становления личности является ее пребывание в общении, в статье рассматриваются условия и возможности такого общения в церковной общине и в светском обществе. Одновременно анализируются характерные черты обеих общественных структур, особенности церковного и светского понимания личности и возможности взаимодействия Церкви и общества в решении проблем воспитания подлинной личности. The reason for writing this article was the growing scientific interest in the human person observed recently. Since one of the main conditions for the formation of a personality is its stay in communication, the article examines the conditions and possibilities of such communication in the church community and in secular society. At the same time, the author analyzes the characteristic features of both social structures, the peculiarities of the ecclesiastical and secular understanding of the individual and the possibility of interaction between the church and society in solving the problems of educating a true personality.

Much recent scholarship on the period of the Investiture Struggle and the reform of the Church in the eleventh and twelfth centuries has suggested that the origins of these reforms lay not merely in the desire for moral regeneration, but in the conscious wish to return to the antique, Biblical, patristic, and Roman models of the Christian life represented by the early, pre-feudal Church. What modern historians have sometimes called ‘Germanic Christianity’ or ‘feudal Christianity’ was felt to be a pattern of institutions which had at least partly corrupted the life of the early Church. This explains the great concern of the Hildebrandine Party to rid the Church of those abuses which they felt had grown ‘especially since the time when the government of our church passed to the Germans. … But we, having searched out the Roman Order and the ancient custom of our church, imitating the old Fathers, have ordered things to be restored as we have set out above.’ The reaction against the immediate past in favor of a more perfect antique model manifested itself in the notion, expressed throughout the period, that custom must always be judged by natural law and by truth: ‘the Lord said: “I am the Truth.” He did not say: “I am the custom”; but “I am the Truth.” The reformers became impassioned to restore the ancient discipline, to rediscover the ancient laws of the Church, to bring monasticism back to its original purity, and in all this to use what they believed to be the ancient forms of the Christian life as a model by which to compare and criticize the Christianity of their own times. An extensive and varied literature appeared dealing with the problem of what the ancient ideal of the Christian life had been, a literature which began both to speak frequently of the ecclesia primitiva, and to use this idea as a model by which to reform the Church. Often this literature passed beyond the use of the idea of the ecclesia primitiva as a tool of reform to the use of the idea as a basis for the discussion of the more basic problem of what the perfect form of the Christian life had been or should be. In this regard, ‘reform’ signified not only the restoration and reestablishment of the forms of the Christian life of the past, but also the search for the continuing perfection of both the individual and the Church. The nexus of ideas associated with the Augustinian reformatio in melius was in this respect close to the idea of ‘renewal.’ Men not only returned to the forms of the past, but also explored ways of introducing new structures and forms of life into the Church.

ABSTRACT One characteristic of church growth is the increasing number of churches. Churches take a variety of ways to increase the number of their congregations. Some are in a biblical way and some are not. Methods or methods which are not biblical are known as means of baalism. And the church often uses these methods. Therefore, the authors conduct research related to this so that churches use biblical methods in their implementation. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach and an approach that is taken from examples in the Bible relating to church development. From the results of this research, it is hoped that churches will make efforts to increase the number of their congregations in biblical ways and not using Baalism.

Setiap orang percaya di panggil Allah untuk melayani. Pelayanan merupakan bagian hidup dan kewajiban mutlak bagi setiap orang percaya. Ketaatan dan kesetiaan dalam melayani Tuhan merupakan salah satu sikap yang terpuji dari kehidupan jemaat mula-mula. Dalam situasi dan kondisi yang sulitakibatpenghambatan dan penganiayaan yang diderita, jemaat tetap melakukan tanggungjawab untuk memberitakan Injil. Penganiayaan tidak membuat jemaat berhentibersaksi, bersekutu dan melayani dengan kasih. Pengembangan gereja sangatlah dipengaruhi oleh orang-orang yang ada didalam gereja tersebut yaitu jemaat, majelis dan hamba Tuhan. Jika sistem gereja berjalan dengan baik, maka pelaksanaan perkembangan gerejaakan berjalan dengan baik dan yang paling penting adalah tetap adanya hubungan yang intim dengan Allah dan kerjasama satu dengan yang lain maka akan terlaksana setiap rencana dalam pengembangan gereja. Panggilan gereja yang sejati ialah menjadi garam dan terang bagi Bangsa-bangsa. Gereja terpanggil untuk menjadi agen-agen pewartaan kabar keselamatan kepada semua manusia. Sehingga salah satu panggilan gereja ialah memuridkan semua jemaat Kristus untuk menjadi seorang murid dan pelaksana pemberitaan Injil. Gereja haruslah menjadi perpanjangan tangan Allah dalam melaksananakan dan penggenapan visi Allah bagi dunia. Allah menghendaki gereja menjadi sumber dan sinar kemuliaan dan kasih Allah bagi dunia. Dalam pelaksanaan penggenapan visi Allah, gereja diperhadapkan dengan sebuat tantangan dan kekuatan kuasa-kuasa gelap, sehingga gereja harus tetap konsisten dan tetap berdiri teguh dalam mengahadapi tantangan demi pencapaian kasih Allah bagi dunia melalui gereja dan semua orang percaya. Gereja yang kuat adalah gereja yang melaksanakan Mandat Agung Tuhan Yesus, sebab penyertaan Allah tersedian bagi gereja dan mereka yang bersedia melaksanakan Mandat Agung Allah. Every believer is called by God to serve. Service is a part of life and an absolute obligation for every believer. Obedience and loyalty in serving God is one of the praiseworthy attitudes of the lives of the early church. In situations and conditions that are difficult due to obstruction and persecution suffered, the congregation continues to carry out the responsibility to preach the gospel. Persecution does not cause the church to stop witnessing, fellowship and serve with love. Church development is greatly influenced by the people in the church, the congregation, assemblies and servants of God. If the church system goes well, the implementation of church development will go well and the most important thing is that there will still be an intimate relationship with God and cooperation with each other will carry out every plan in church development. The true calling of the church is to be salt and light to the Nations. The church is called to be agents of proclaiming the message of salvation to all humans. So one of the calls of the church is to make disciples of all the congregations of Christ to become disciples and administrators of evangelism. The church must be an extension of God in carrying out and fulfilling God's vision for the world. God wants the church to be the source and light of God's glory and love for the world. In the fulfillment of God's vision, the church is confronted with a challenge and the power of dark powers, so the church must remain consistent and remain firm in facing challenges for the achievement of God's love for the world through the church and all believers. A strong church is a church that carries out The Great Mandate of the Lord Jesus, because God's inclusion is available to the church and those who are willing to carry out the Great Mandate of God.

Sierra Leone has seen the rise of Charismatic movements that are bringing about greater levels of co-operation with the state. This new church development aims at renewing the Christian faith and projecting a more proactive role towards public governance. This ecclesial development shows that African Pentecostal/Charismatic theology appears to be moving away from the perceived isolationist theology that once separated the church from involvement with the rest of society. By reapplying the movement's eschatological beliefs, Charismatics are presenting themselves as moral crusaders who regard it as their responsibility to transform public governance. The article probes this relationship so that the Charismatic understanding of poverty, prosperity, good governance and socio-economic development in Sierra Leone can be more clearly established.

The “individual” in Johann Friedrich Overbeck’s and Franz Liszt’s Seven Sacraments

In the preface to his Septem sacramenta (1878–1884), Franz Liszt acknowledged its stimulus — drawings completed in 1862 by the German painter J. F. Overbeck (1789–1869). This essay explores what Liszt likely meant by his and Overbeck’s “diametrically opposed” approaches and speculates on why the composer nonetheless acknowledged the artist’s work. Each man adopted an individualized treatment of the sacraments, neither in line with the Church’s neo-Thomistic philosophy. Whereas the Church insisted on the sanctifying effects of the sacraments’ graces, Overbeck emphasized the sacraments as a means for moral edification, and Liszt expressed their emotional effects on the receiver. Furthermore, Overbeck embedded within his work an overt polemical message in response to the contested position of the pope in the latter half of the nineteenth century. For many in Catholic circles, he went too far. Both works experienced a problematic reception. Yet, despite their works’ reception, both Overbeck and Liszt believed they had contributed to the sacred art of their time. The very individuality of Overbeck’s treatment seems to have stimulated Liszt. True to his generous nature, Liszt, whose individual voice often went unappreciated, publicly recognized an equally individual voice in the service of the Church.
