Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apostolic Order and Unity In both those lands I found missionaries of non Episcopal Churches, in Great Britain and America, doing just as great and good a work for Christ as we were doing; and, so far from being able to look down on them as in any way inferior to myself, I esteemed it a privilege to sit at the feet of a Duff in Calcutta, a Wilson in Bombay, a Newton in the Punjab, and many others, and seek to learn of them the best means to win souls for Christ.

Download or read book The Apostolic Pattern written by Jim Rogers and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary source of disagreement in the religious world is a departure from the New Testament pattern given by the apostles, with churches relying instead on opinion for authority in religious practice and doctrine. By abandoning the apostolic original Christ's church has been left behind, producing today's debate and division. The only way to achieve the unity Christ prayed for is a return to the pattern He gave through His apostles. What is that pattern, how is it gleaned from scripture, and how is it applied in the 21st century? Rogers shows that by letting the Bible speak for itself, employing the same methods to interpret scripture that were used in New Testament times, a clear set of expectations emerges: a blueprint for the church's faith, practice, and purity. All who follow it will stand shoulder to shoulder with the first-century Christians: teaching for doctrine only what they taught, organizing as they were organized, and worshiping as they worshiped. The apostolic pattern is thus a blueprint for Christian unity, the only ground upon which everyone may stand with complete assurance that all they do is pleasing to God.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter iii the ministry of the apostles The Christian church, as it appeared in history for 1500 years, had for its officers bishops, priests, and deacons--these at least were the most important figures and they alone the constant figures in its ministry. And through all these centuries no serious question was raised about this threefold order of the clergy or about the obligation which lay upon every Christian to accept their ministrations--that is to say, to use the sacraments administered by them, and to receive their instruction in the word of God. Amidst much that is variable in the ancient and mediaeval catholic church, amidst many local and partial developments, there are, we may say, four institutions or elements which can claim a catholicity quite unrivalled--that is, the creed or summary of the Christian faith, the canon of sacred scriptures, the sacraments, and the ministry of bishops, presbyters, and deacons. This ministry, it was believed, Christ Himself had instituted and authorized when He instituted the church. He had instituted it in the persons of the apostles. And it was intended to perpetuate itself; and when it became evident that the first generation of Christians was not to see the end of the world, it did perpetuate itself by way of succession--by the transmission to a succession of persons down the generations of the ministerial authority first given by Jesus Christ to the apostles: they transmitted their authority, that is to say, in so far as their commission was not an extraordinary commission as the first founders of the church, but the ordinary commission of the pastors of the flock of Christ. I This has been the traditional view. But it has been vehemently opposed since the Reformation. The Reformation, in...

Download or read book Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification written by Lutheran World Federation and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents in English the official Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, confirmed by the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church in Augsburg, Germany, in October 1999. The result of decades of Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogue, this primary document represents an ecumenical event of historical significance. Included in the volume are the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification and the Official Common Statement with its Annex. These texts are recommended for careful study in seminaries and parishes and for reading by individual Christians. It is hoped that the Joint Declaration will deepen understanding of the biblical message of justification and also serve to further reflection within the wider ecumenical movement.
Download or read book The Vision of Unity written by John Meyendorff and published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Meyendorff, in his own words, "has dedicated most of this life to teaching and to investigating the past of Christianity, studying the ways in which the faith of the Church was confessed throughout the ages by the Fathers of the Church." It was during a more recent period -- from January 1965 to December 1984 -- that he was also editor of a church monthly, The Orthodox Church, in which he published signed editorials reflecting upon the growth and development of Orthodoxy in America. For him, this work was a blessed challenge. Indeed, he was forced to relate the permanent and unchanging faith of the Church to the changing circumstances of our recent history, and to the birth of a new Orthodox Church on the American continent. The editorials reprinted in Vision of Unity ask the question: Can we survive in chaos and disunity? They are presented in two sections: 1. the issue of Orthodox unity in America, and 2. the basic principles of Church structure. Throughout, the Church is revealed as a "conciliar" Church, the Church of all people, clergy and laity, old and young, men and women -- the "Catholic" Church, of all nations and generations.
