I attended the church called a Family Of God Baptist church in Panama City Florida. During my spring break, I went to Panama City Florida on my last day there I started my observation. This particular morning around 8:30am on March 26, I went to observe the Sunday worship service on the west campus of this church. I chose the 8:30am service because I'm used to early morning things. I pulled up to the church at least fifteen minutes before worship and there were a lot of cars there. This church…

Introduction According to Warren & Bennis (2010), “The constancy of change that drives efforts to reinvent government bureaucracies, church hierarchies, and business practices call for audacious leaders who take a stand for what they believe in” (p.29). As a practicing Catholic, I have noticed that the Church is continuously challenged to redefine the role of the Church in our ever changing society under the leadership of Pope Francis. While it is relatively easy to appreciate the public…

What are you beliefs on female ordination? And why? Catholic Church should progress to including women in the clergy. I do support female ordination in the Catholic Church for these 3 reasons.One, females are just as competent and able to perform the duties of the clergy as males are. Also females make up 50% of a population so it makes sense that females also take part in this profession. Finally, we 're happy to have Female doctors, lawyers, dentists, astronauts, so there is no reason why we…

The Protestant Reformation is often indicated as just the Reformation. It was the major disagreement within Western Christianity started by Martin Luther. Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses in hopes of just starting a debate between the church, but ended up setting the religious world aflame. In his document, he started by criticizing the selling of indulgence, demanding that the pope had no authority over purgatory and that the Catholic doctrine of the merits of the saints had no foundation in…

two groups of individuals, secular and spiritual, are different and entirely separate. Not only do the Romanists believe in the separation of the spiritual and the secular, but they also believe that those who make up the Spiritual Estate, popes, bishops, and other religious clergy, are far superior to those of the Temporal power, therefore establishing a sense of inequality within the Church. Luther addresses the hypocrisy of this statement by bringing forth testimony and evidence that greatly…

Seen in these two letters, Clericis Laicos and Unam Sanctam, are what would seem to be the culmination of all this history: the responses of Pope Boniface VIII to the continued pressures of secular rule and its jurisdiction in relation to the Church and its functioning. With the Church’s rapid increase in size and influence over the past several centuries,…

Authority in Early Modern France The way power is wielded has changed over time, and constantly shifts. The same holds true or the Early Modern Period as the idea of authority and state underwent transformation. As the authority of the Roman Catholic Church waned, European power consolidated with a number of centralized states. Authority manifested itself in different ways; leaders displayed acts of absolute authority under a single monarch in places such as France, but as time progressed the…
