Priest River

After collecting the total data it was then split into different social classes. As the records clearly displayed the parent’s profession, this was a simple task. A variety of classes were studied so the effects that famines and crises could be calculated across society in Marmande. It was also possible to track the upper classes as well. In order to distinguish a member of the upper classes, the priests used a number of status-specific job-titles. They used a variety of titles, from the common “sieur” or “demoiselle”, which equated to “master” and “mistress, to knights, viscounts, nobles, officers etc. These titles were signs of wealth and power within Marmande, and so these elites were grouped separately in order to possibly track if the upper classes committed infanticide against a different gender than the lower. Furthermore, this essay will also examine if the upper classes were affected by the numerous famines in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This will all be examined in Chapter…

BLOG POST Walking in the first day, I was very nervous but I felt very excited at the same time for my future. Me and my parents were welcomed into the James River Youth building by a crowd of sophomores that were chanting may name. I saw some familiar faces that i have met over the years and that made it all the more exciting for me. One of my best friends, Daneisha, was one of those faces and she took my picture for my student ID. This was her job because she was in the Communications…

Tale of Two Leaders The striking differences between a Catholic priest and a Christian pastor are nearly too numerous to count. Not only in the services they conduct, but their orientation into their field and the way they are taught to interact. The reality of the situation is the contrasts exist only to highlight to comparisons. Between Ronald Cobb, the Christion pastor in Horton Kansas, and Benjamin Tremmel, the Catholic priest of the Good Intent Parish, there exist some of the most uncommon…

If I wrote this paper 20 years ago while I was attending North Central Bible College, my thoughts on what I believed was the personal call on my life and of my plans for ministry after college would have created an essay that is significantly different than what I am writing here. My interpretation of a calling was probably like most of the students that attended NCBC, that it is a divine mission placed on your life, meaning that your life is dedicated to the furthering of the Gospel through…

Introduction William Willimon states in Calling and Character: Virtues of the Ordained Life: “this character, the cross, indelibly determines our character” (2000, p. 35). He connects how both the calling of the ordained and her/his character connect. Willimon addresses several things that I personally found beneficial as someone who is going into Christian Ministry. For example, he clearly addresses the need for unity between the professional and private life of a pastor. His goal is to inform…

This team only builds by only four people but they all have the passion beyond what they write and what related to this job. All the wants to do is give the justice back to this society.

****The short story below is part of a larger work that is, yet, incomplete. All events are true; the letter from my senior “pastor” is verbatim. There were certain names that were left out for privacy sake**** All the previous abuse culminated with a spiritual awakening. The Lord began to bring clarity to my heart. I realized that scripturally I needed to address the issues ongoing in my marriage. The abuse began to take a toll on my church life. I was so afraid of my husband that I avoided…

Usually a priest will lead the service but this was a special occasion because the bishop came. The bishop and the priest split the sections, since he was there. They read mostly from their holy liturgy book and the service was filled with the congregations responses to the priest’s and bishop’s readings from it. The interesting part was that they did not use just one language during the service, they used three; English, Arabic, and Coptic. As they read from the book, they would read it out…

For my pastoral interview, I choose to interview the Senior Pastor of Huntington Central Church (Disciples of Christ) Rev. Jacque Parlato. I started the interview by asking Pastor Jacque to describe her call to ministry. More precisely I asked her to describe her calling from the time she first received it up until now. During this question Pastor Jacque began by telling me about her background and early life. She informed me that she was born and raised in Santiago California, to parents that…

It’s no secret that priesthood is becoming a less popular occupational choice for those across the country. Men simply aren’t as interested in teaching scriptures as they used to. But why do we limit ourselves to male priests? Although many believe that females have a specific place in the church, the Catholic Church should allow females to be priests because some have already been ordained, it’s discriminatory, the Bible never states that a woman can not be a priest, there is currently a lack…
