Circumstances (ideal/current) There are a huge variety of circumstances in churches across America and this world. Circumstances of a ministry can greatly impact the health of an organization and its success. The circumstances can also heavily impact the morale and emotional stability of a leader. There are ideal circumstances and then there are the actual circumstances. The ideal are those that the leader performs the best in. The actual are the circumstances the leader is currently dealing…

The question I will be answering is the one concerning journeys. We have read and discussed in class a few stories that deal with journeys. The three that I will be looking at are, Asleep in the Lord, Artificial Nigger, and Remains of the Day. The story Asleep in the Lord follows a man named Mitchel, who traveled to India to help in a Mother Teresa house. He is a man that has been traveling for some time trying to find a place where he can feel like he is making a difference and belongs. In the…

land a lord would own and compensate living there through farming, milling, taking care of cattle, or even sewing clothes. A widely known place that did this was called Wharram Percy. In the article Wharram Percy Deserted Medieval Village by English Heritage, in the history section it discusses that this village was occupied for 600 years (starting in around the 9th or 10th century) and was passed down through the Percy Family (thus the name of the village) as they the passing of being lord that…

The Vassals commitment to fight was one of the most important parts of a feudal system. Without a military, a manor, village or town is useless, and it all starts with the Vassal showing his military service to the superior lord. A summon or announcement was raised when a lord wanted to start an army. This gave soldiers and vassals the ability to gathers weapons and prepare accordingly. Most of the army fell into two categories. There were the elite, prestigious knights that usually fought…

of Feudalism. It was based on a set of rights between a lord and his serfs. The Manor System was happening during the time of Feudalism and was a way of earning money and having power. The system was very one sided money wise. Between the lord and the serfs, the lord would benefit the most. The Manor System was a way to compromise all the “lands, buildings, and individuals” that belonged to a lord (Streissguth). The system worked by a lord giving out “housing, farmland, and protection from…

were still tied to the land. They essentially had nothing to claim as their own possession. As Ian Mortimer states in The Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England, these peasants “own nothing but their own bellies” (p. 49). They were under their lords’ jurisdiction and if asked to jump, their reply would have been “how high?”…

remained obedient to God’s will for his life. He grew in his personal relationship with the Lord and the relationships within his family. Joseph’s life is an excellent example and motivation of how Christians today should stay humble and trust that God is in control, no matter what may be awry. Staying steadfast for God in times of darkness will be rewarded with love and light, and most of all, the pleasure of the Lord. God tested his faith, and Joseph had stayed strong and even grew in his…

In the middle ages, the way that land was ruled and controlled is very different from the way our land is organised in the present day. They had something called the Feudal system, which is basically a series of grants of land in return for a service and supplies. The Feudal System started with the King, who owned a lot of land. Naturally, he couldn’t control and farm it all, so he granted some of it to the highest ranking of his nobles and church members- barons, bishops etc. In return, these…
