Greek Orthodox Church

exact. The Church I attended on Sunday the 23rd of October is called St. Michaels Archangel Church in downtown Greenville. Their religion is Coptic Orthodox and in comparison to my own church, it was very different. The Coptic Orthodox Church I attended was very traditional and so much was happening. To compare their Church to my own church, I will briefly describe the procedures and beliefs of my own. There are usually 2-3 services offered every Sunday and sometimes people in church will get…

18-e Today we want to look at the Decline of the Medieval Church. We will also cover a time that the Catholic Church had three popes at the same time. http://andnowyouknowmore.blogspot.com http://andnowyouknowmore.blogspot.com As the Roman Church assumed spiritual its authority and used it unmercifully against straying church members, and against other bishops. The height of arrogance and assumed authority was in 1054 A.D. when Pope Leo IX issued the Bull of Excommunication against the…

and elderly people (35%). It was nice to see a lot of children and young adults in church, it meant to me that the Greeks and other minorities value their traditions and show on their own example how important that was. I could easily detect some Ukrainian and Russian female parishioners, as they…

Roman-Byzantine Empire with the headquarters in Constantinople. Eastern Orthodoxy regards its self as the True Church, being rooted in Christianity. Eastern Orthodoxy places great value on the doctrine and holds the Bible to be the sacred text. They use the Septuagint, or the Greek Old Testament. The movement also emphasizes the Creeds and the seven ecumenical councils. In fact, the church often refers to itself as…

In the beginning of the church, not many people adapted to the change. The first idea of the Christian Church was when the apostles or followers of Jesus, who was the Son of God, spread around Asia, Europe, and North Africa to teach others of Jesus’ teachings of God. Jesus, who was born and preached in Judea, was sent by God to preach his good news. He was later crucified by the Romans and rose from the dead three days later. After his ascension to Heaven, his apostles traveled around, preaching…

disagreements were bound to occur. One argument resulted in the divergence of two different branches of Christianity. Formally known as The Great Schism or The East-West Schism, rising tensions and differing ideologies led to the development of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Many factors led to the Schism, including opposing cultural, political, social, and theological viewpoints. Ranging from the 9th to the 15th century, the Schism was not a clean break, but was a slow course of disaffection…

plagued with corruption on a large scale. The Catholic Church was suffering in a state of uncertainty and lack of a strong foundation and person of authority. The Great Schism of 1054 greatly affected Europe and the rest of the modern world. This great rift between the Eastern and Western Churches caused the rapid development of each side in different ways. What were the effects of this schism on the Eastern part of Europe? The Eastern Catholic Church refers to the Eastern Christian culture,…

wrongful. Those that claim there was justification view the actions of the Crusade as holy. Scholars recognize that crusaders saw the Sack of Constantinople as an opportunity to bring the state into Roman obedience and also to bring honor to the Church. In “Vows and Contracts in the Fourth Crusade” , Thomas Madden who has analyzed personal statements from the Fourth Crusade shows that in the clergy to Crusaders, they were told “that this war is right and just, and if you have a right…

at inspiring, because I could smile and follow directions. I think each summer I picked up another skill off the what social management looks like. I began to be more confident in myself and my team. I began to find out more information about each church to know how to make the situation better. I learned that forming a relationship first and then trying to change was much better approach to being a catalyst for change. This past summer, one church’s Bible school was very disorganized and the…

Lincoln Cathedral is without a doubt a very well-established building which has received centuries of admiration, but perhaps generically towards its size and impressive dating alone. My subjective experience of the space both internally and externally made me realise that my appreciation and warming towards the structure was provoked from a relational feeling as if the cathedral possessed life-like qualities itself. The visual expression of structure, use of living materials, the sound it…
