  • The New Ministers Manual
    The New Ministers Manual Paul W. Powell Unless otherwise identified, scripture quotations are from the Holy Bible, King James Version. Scripture identified from the New American Standard Bible, Copyright the Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973,1975,1977. Copyright 1994 Paul W. Powell All Rights Reserved ii Dedicated to The Students of Truett Seminary and all other young people on whom the mantle of ministry will fall iii iv PREFACE Thomas Jefferson once described the presidency as “a splendid misery.” I think that is an apt description of the ministry. I know of no calling that is more rewarding, and at the same time, more demanding than being a minister. The modern minister faces a multitude of tasks that are both exciting and exacting. He must conduct funerals and weddings, often on the same day. He must be a scholar, a public speaker, an educator, a financier, a CEO, a personnel manager, a shepherd and a personal counselor. While still a student at Baylor University I became pastor of an open country church. I soon found myself confronted with many things I had seen and even been a part of in my home church, but to which I paid little attention until I was called on to do them myself. In the next 34 years I pastored churches of all sizes, my last church having more than 7,000 members. As I became pastor of larger churches I would ask young ministers to assist me in funerals, weddings, baptisms, so they could learn firsthand what to do. What I have recorded in this book are some of the things I tried to teach them.

  • 412 Stephen Spencer, Anglicanism
    412 Book Reviews / Ecclesiology 8 (2012) 389–420 Stephen Spencer, Anglicanism (SCM Study Guide Series, London: SCM, 2010). ix + 229 pp. £16.99. ISBN 978-0-334-04337-9 (pbk). When I was an English Anglican ordinand (late 1980s), I received four and a half hours explicit teaching on Anglicanism in three years full time train- ing. When I returned to teach at a theological college five years later, I was (I think) the first person appointed to an English Anglican theological col- lege with an explicit brief to teach Anglicanism. Since then there has been a modest explosion in the teaching of Anglicanism and in teaching resources. This latest resource, in the SCM study guide series, is a sign that teaching Anglicanism is now a mainstream commitment. There was once a deep reluctance to teach ‘Anglicanism’, partly because of significant scepticism that such a thing really existed – a scepticism which is still very much alive in England even if most of the rest of the Communion regards this scepticism as nonsensical – and perhaps also because we were anxious that actually trying to teach Anglicanism would expose its divisions and contradictions. However, certainly in England, we can no longer assume that students of Anglicanism are cradle Anglicans; we cannot assume that people will carry ‘proper’ Anglicanism in their DNA. If they are to live and minister fruitfully within the Anglican context, they must have an opportunity to study Anglicanism rigorously. Some of the ten- sions in the Anglican Communion and the Church of England are simply a result of unreflective assumptions about the content and methods of Anglicanism.

  • Guidelines for Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
    GUIDELINES FOR EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION The ministry of distributing Holy Communion is the responsibility of priests and deacons. It is understood that at regularly scheduled parish Masses, concelebrating priests and the deacons present and assisting at that Mass (unless impeded by physical reasons or other sufficient cause) will participate in the distribution of Holy Communion. If these ordinary ministers are not sufficient to distribute the Sacrament within a reasonable amount of time, then extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion may be invited to assist them. Canon 910.2: The extraordinary minister of Holy Communion is an acolyte or other member of the Christian faithful deputed in accord with Canon 230.3. Canon 230.3: When the need of the Church warrants it and ministers are lacking, lay persons, even if they are not lectors or acolytes, can also supply certain of their duties, namely, to exercise the ministry of the word, to preside over liturgical prayers, to confer baptism, and to distribute Holy Communion in accord with the prescripts of the law. The following policies are to be followed in the Archdiocese of New Orleans in regard to these extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion in parish celebrations. In instances other than parochial settings, the Office of Worship will be consulted. 1. Only adults (18 years and older) are to serve as extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. Special permission has been granted by Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond which permits High School seniors to serve as extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion after completing specialized training. This special permission expires upon graduation.

The Existence of Satan – There is scarcely a culture, tribe, or society to be found in this world that does not have some concept or fear of an invisible evil power. This has been attested by Christian missionaries and secular anthropologists alike. Witch doctors, shrunken heads, voodoo dolls, and totem poles all give dramatic evidence of this universal fear. One may well ask where this fear came from and of whom are they afraid. The study of the doctrine of Satan may not thrill the soul of man, but it will answer these questions. A. His existence is doubted by the world. 1. As shown by the typical “Walt Disney cartoon concept” – Most of the world today pictures the devil as a medieval and mythical two-horned, fork-tailed impish creature, dressed in red flannel underwear, busily pitching coal into the furnace of hell.

  • The Evangelical Theological Society and the Doctrine of the Trinity Kevin Giles
    EQ 80.4 (2008). 323-338 The Evangelical Theological Society and the doctrine of the Trinity Kevin Giles Kevin Giles served as an Anglican rector in Australia for 38 years. He now lectures, writes, travels and helps with grandchildren. This paper was read at the 2006 Evangelical Theological Society annual meeting in Washington, DC. KEY WORDS: Arianism, being, Christoiogy, Father, Wayne Grudem, George Knight Ill, role, Son, submission, subordination, Bruce Ware, women. In America the Evangelical Theological Society is a very significant organiza­ tion with over four thousand members. It claims to be the voice of conservative evangelical scholarship. In its Doctrinal Basis only two matters are made funda­ mental to the evangelical faith: belief in the inerrancy of the Bible in its original autographs and belief in a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three 'uncre­ ated' persons, who are 'one in essence, equal in power and glory'.! In the history of the ETS the first fundamental belief has caused many a painful disruption in the evangelical family, the second has not. In this paper I argue that critical consideration should be given to what several leading theologians of the ETS are teaching on the Trinity because it would seem to implicitly contradict what the ETS statement of faith says on the Trinity. ETS members are bound to believe that the three divine persons are one in essence and equal in power. To argue that the Son is eternally subordinate in authority to the Father, denies that he is equal in power with the Father and the Spirit and by implication, that he is one in es­ sencelbeingwith the Father and the Spirit.2 The novel post 1970s doctrine ofthe eternally subordinated Son In his highly influential book, New Testament Teaching on the Role Relationship The words on the Trinity were added in 1990 to exclude people with a high view of inerrancy who rejected the historic doctrine of the Trinity as spelt out in the Creeds and Reformation confessions.

Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore Published under “Spiritual Dynamics” at www.globalmissiology.org , October 2007 Love seems to be in the air for many of the red-shirted members of Hope Filipino. On this particular Sunday afternoon, the church-owned Nexus Auditorium, located in a shopping center in Singapore’s prominent Orchard Road, conveys the vibrancy of Valentine’s season. Instead of a familiar Christian song, setting the mood for the inflowing audience is one of Kenny G’s romantic hits, a tangible indication that this is not ordinary church. The Sunday service, redesigned for evangelistic purposes, expects a greater number of non-Christian visitors as a result of the pre- Valentine Matthew Care Group 2. With friends meeting and ushers greeting at the front door, the auditorium is in a warm atmosphere. A new form of Protestant Christianity is gaining influence in many parts of urbanizing Asia today. But it remains overlooked by the academe. Considering the rapid growth of many of these churches in America, Miller (1997) is convinced that this culturally adaptive form of Christianity is bound to shape the future of the faith. Precipitated by the global movement of believers and such cultural forms as music and literature it has influenced, the rise of new paradigm churches in many parts of the world – Asia included – becomes increasingly visible (see Miller 1997; Miller 1998; Connell 2005; Cruz 2006; Cornelio 2006).

  • Christianity and Culture J
    CHRISTIANITY AND CULTURE J. Gresham Machen This address on "The Scientific Preparation of the Minister" was delivered September 20, 1912, at the opening of the one hundred and first session of Princeton Theological Seminary. It is found in the Princeton Theological Review, Vol. XI, No. 1, 1913, p. 1. One of the greatest of the problems that has agitated the Church is the problem of the relation between knowledge and piety, between culture and Christianity. This problem has appeared first of all in the presence of two tendencies in the Church--the scientific or academic tendency, and what may be called the practical tendency. Some men have devoted themselves chiefly to the task of forming right conceptions as to Christianity and its foundations. To them no fact, however trivial, has appeared worthy of neglect; by them truth has been cherished for its own sake, without immediate reference to practical consequences. Some, on the other hand, have emphasized the essential simplicity of the gospel. The world is lying in misery, we ourselves are sinners, men are perishing in sin everyday. The gospel is the sole means of escape; let us preach it to the world while yet we may. So desperate is the need that we have no time to engage in vain babblings or old wives' fables. While we are discussing the exact location of the churches of Galatia, men are perishing under the curse of the law; while we are settling the date of Jesus' birth, the world is doing without its Christmas message. The representatives of both of these tendencies regard themselves as Christians, but too often there is little brotherly feeling between them.

  • Speech Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop MP US-Australia: The
    CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Speech Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop MP US-Australia: The Alliance in an Emerging Asia Washington DC, 22 January 2014 I’m delighted to be back in Washington just 2 months after our annual Australian-US Ministerial Dialogue with Secretaries Kerry and Hagel last November. Each time I come to Washington I am buoyed by the warm welcome – the kind of warmth that exists between trusted and long-standing friends. It reminds me of the story of Maie Casey – the wife of Richard Casey, Australia’s first Ambassador to the United States, who took up his position in February 1940. In the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt, Maie Casey was an intrepid aviator and often flew her own plane around the US. 1 CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY On one return flight to Washington, DC, Maie was coming in to land, but the control tower couldn’t understand her. After a few failed attempts to communicate, the control tower detected the Aussie accent and said, “I can’t understand a word you say Bright Eyes, but come on in anyway”. Now that’s trust. Ours is an alliance based on trust. An alliance that is both dependable and dynamic. We’re true friends who share common values, whose interests overwhelmingly align. In this year, a century on from the commencement of the Great War of 1914-18, we can reflect on the fact that over those 100 years the US and Australia have fought side-by-side in every major conflict in which either of us have been engaged.

  • “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia
    “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia By Frances Watson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Liberty University 2021 Table of Contents Introduction 2 Chapter One: Beyond Evangelical – Anglican Revivalists 14 Chapter Two: Beyond Tolerant – Spreading Evangelicalism 34 Chapter Three: Beyond Patriotic – Proponents of Liberty 55 Conclusion 69 Bibliography 77 ~ 1 ~ Introduction While preaching Devereux Jarratt’s funeral service, Francis Asbury described him thus: “He was a faithful and successful preacher. He had witnessed four or five periodical revivals of religion in his parish. When he began his labours, there was no other, that he knew of, evangelical minister in all the province!”1 However, at the time of his death, Jarratt would be one of a growing number of Evangelical Anglican ministers in the province of Virginia. Although Anglicanism remained the established church for the first twenty three years of Jarratt’s ministry, the Great Awakening forcefully brought the message of Evangelicalism to the colonies. As the American Revolution neared, new ideas about political and religious freedom arose, and Evangelical dissenters continued to grow in numbers. Into this scene stepped Jarratt, his friend Archibald McRobert, and his student Charles Clay. These three men would distinguish themselves from other Anglican clergymen by emulating the characteristics of the Great Awakening in their ministries, showing tolerance in their relationships with other religious groups, and providing support for American freedoms. Devereux Jarratt, Archibald McRobert, and Charles Clay all lived and mainly ministered to communities in the Piedmont area.
