particular church

Examples of particular church in the following topics:

• The Ecclesia

  • Churches typically tolerate no religious competition, and serve as the guardians and guides of spiritual life for a particular group of people.
  • Ecclesias are also typically not the sole religious body in a particular societal space.
  • The Anglican Church of England, for example, is a state church that does not have the adherence of all English citizens.
  • Although the word "ecclesial" itself stems from the Greek word for "church" or "gathering," ecclesias are not necessarily churches.
  • In Catholic canon law, a particular church is an ecclesial community headed by a bishop or an equivalent figure.

• Career Development: Vocation and Identity

  • This idea of vocation is especially associated with a divine call to service to the Church and humanity through particular vocational life commitments, such as marriage to a particular person, consecration as a religious, ordination to priestly ministry in the Church, and even a holy life as a single person.
  • In the broader sense, Christian vocation includes the use of one's gifts in their profession, family life, church, and civic commitments for the sake of the greater common good.

• Ecumenism

  • Within this particular context, ecumenism refers to the idea that Christians should literally unify under a single Christian church.
  • The Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox churches are two distinct bodies of local churches.
  • Within each body, the churches share full communion, although there is not official communion between the two bodies.
  • Within the Anglican Communion, each member church is allowed to make its own decision with regard to intercommunion.
  • They do not want the Orthodox church to play a part in this more general movement.

• Erasmus

  • Erasmus of Rotterdam was a renowned humanist scholar and theologian who wrote several important texts criticizing the superstition and formalism of the Church while upholding its core spiritual values.
  • Erasmus lived against the backdrop of the growing European religious Reformation, but while he was critical of the abuses within the Catholic Church and called for reform, he kept his distance from Luther and Melanchthon and continued to recognise the authority of the pope, emphasizing a middle way with a deep respect for traditional faith, piety and grace, rejecting Luther's emphasis on faith alone.
  • Erasmus remained a member of the Roman Catholic Church all his life, remaining committed to reforming the Church and its clerics' abuses from within.
  • His revolt against certain forms of Christian monasticism and scholasticism was not based on doubts about the truth of doctrine, nor from hostility to the organization of the Church itself, nor from rejection of celibacy or monastical lifestyles.
  • One of Erasmus's best-known works is In Praise of Folly, a satirical attack on superstitions and other traditions of European society in general and the western Church in particular, written in 1509.

• Religious Denominations

  • In Christianity, non-denominational institutions or churches are those not formally aligned with an established denomination or those that remain otherwise officially autonomous.
  • Some non-denominational churches explicitly reject the idea of a formalized denominational structure as a matter of principle, holding that each congregation is better off being autonomous.
  • It is used predominantly with reference to Christian denominations and churches separated by doctrine, history, and practice.
  • Within this particular context, the term ecumenism refers to the idea of a Christian unity in the literal meaning: that there should be a single Christian Church.

• Norse Timber Architecture in the Early European Middle Ages

  • A stave church is a medieval wooden church with a post and beam construction related to timber framing.
  • Archaeological excavations have shown that stave churches descend from palisade constructions and later churches with earth-bound posts.
  • These churches gave an impression of a basilica.
  • The specialist knew a particular type of building so well that he could systematize its elements in a slightly different way from previous building designs, thus carrying developments a stage further.
  • Example of a Norwegian wooden stave church: Stave church in Lom.

• Norman Architecture

  • In particular, the term "Norman architecture" is traditionally used to refer to English Romanesque architecture.
  • The Church of Saint-Pierre is another prime example of Norman architecture.
  • The eastern apse of the church was built by Hector Sohier between 1518 and 1545.
  • A Norman arch with zig-zag mouldings above the church doorway at Guiting Power, Gloucestershire
  • The Church of St.

• The Christian Church

  • The Christian Church is the assembly of followers of Jesus Christ; in Christianity, a church is the building where its members meet.
  • The Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodoxy each claim to be the original Christian Church.
  • The Eastern Orthodox Church bases its claim primarily on its traditions and beliefs of the original Christian Church.
  • By contrast, the Catholic Church teaches in its doctrine that it is the original Church founded by Christ on the Apostles in the 1st century AD.
  • Churches of Christ are autonomous Christian churches associated with one another through common beliefs and practices.

• Architecture in the Early Byzantine Empire

  • Like most Byzantine churches of this time, the Hagia Sophia is centrally-planned, with the dome serving as its focal point.
  • The dome of Hagia Sophia has spurred particular interest for many art historians, architects and engineers because of the innovative way the original architects envisioned it.
  • The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (527-536), known today as "Little Hagia Sophia," was probably a model for the actual Hagia Sophia.
  • After the restoration of his title, Justinian commissioned Isidorus of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles to construct the church as a gesture of thanksgiving.
  • When the church was built, it shared its narthex, atrium and propylaea with another church.

• The Medieval Church Modes

  • (As of this writing the site Ricercares by Vincenzo Galilei had a list of the "ethos" or mood associated with each medieval mode. ) The names of the church modes were even borrowed from the names of the Greek modes, although the two systems don't really correspond to each other, or usemay have sounded more like some of the traditional raga-based Mediterranean and Middle Eastern musics (see below) than like medieval Western-European church music, and to avoid confusion some people prefer to name the church modes using Roman numerals.
  • Notice that no church modes began on A, B, or C.
  • After the middle ages, modes beginning on A, B, and C were named, but they are still not considered church modes.
  • This is another reason that modes sounded very different from each other, although that particular difference may be missing today when chant is sung using equal temperament.
  • These modes are part of the same theoretical system as the church modes, but they were not used in the middle ages.
