Garlinda Case

In the same way, Wanda does not have to completely leave her style of music and unlearn that. She can keep it as a reserve and use it when she is asked to conduct a concert. Since some churches like holding traditional styles of concerts, she can use that style of music when she is required to do so and she can also use it for prelude or processional hymns and, she can adapt herself to the demanded style of music. If the congregation favors the contemporary style of music, she can most possibly work in agreement with other church musicians, if the church is in a position to do so. If the congregation is comfortable with the idea of Wanda been given another chance, she can serve as the pianist or keyboardist, depending on the hymns. Also, each …show more content…
This would avoid a certain degree of conflict and theologically speaking would be relative to Matthew 7:19 that states “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” As one of the moodle reading mentions that “ideas for new artifacts are fragile,” and given that Wanda has been serving the church for twenty years, she deserves another chance. If I were in Garlinda’s shoes, I would be concerned what other churches are thinking of the music at Garlinda’s church. Also, since I have served at this church as a pastor for five years and, I am a cooperator and harmonizer, it would make sense that I share a “relational covenant” among the parishioners, staff members and myself. If most of the people inside as well as outside this church think that this church is experiencing “disconfirming forces,” as has been mentioned in Thompson’s article, I would be very serious minded about bringing about a change that involves transformation for the church, Wanda and myself. …show more content…
On another note, we together as the body of Christ can introduce the idea of what worship means for us, which might remove the obstacles that exist as conflict in the background of the meeting. The task is to know who we grow with each other and be nurtured as members of the body of Christ, help each other experience God’s grace and the Spirit of God moving in our lives. We would see that in our lives, in the meeting and through our mutual decision that might involve conflict to some extent but not to an argumentative level. As Eversit expounds on conflict as something that exists naturally, I would like to help the church personnel committee be patient in this decisions making process so that we respect each other’s voice and do not dominate any certain agenda that is

The notion of Ecumenism then developed into a movement. The last 60 years have seen an effort to unite Christian denominations. Ecumenicalism has been an important feature of Christianity in the post war era for a range of reasons. Both the W.C.C and UAC aim to achieve the same results and this is evident through their involvement with the Australian community.…

    Chapter six of Practicing Christian Doctrine, by Beth Felker Jones, chiefly discusses Christology and the various heresies that have surrounded it over the years. Christology, which is the study of Christ, helps one to learn more about Jesus and his identity and how to live a good Christian life by forming a relationship with the Lord. In order for Christology to work, the person of Jesus must be known and a major idea discussed in this novel is homoousios, Jesus is full and truly God. Two other important characteristics of God found in this chapter are immutability¬¬ and impassibility. Immutability means that God is unchanging and impassibility states that He is never overwhelmed by emotion.…

    Pia Desideria (Part 2) – Having covered the problems in the Lutheran church in Part 1 of this work, Spener now moves on to say that they should demand better things and behavior from themselves, since God means for the earthly church to be better than what they currently are. There will come a time, he says, when the Roman church will fall and many of the Jewish people will convert to Christianity, and that will be accomplished with or without help from the Christians (or more specifically the Lutherans in Spener’s area). Spener argues that their job is not to sit around and wait for these events to take place, but rather take any and every possible action they can to bring these events about. He also makes the case that the Early Church is the best model to copy, mainly in the areas of church discipline, everyday…
