    The Free Church Tradition and Worship* I ~SSl!ME that it is corporate and pu~lic wor~hip that i.s primarily III nund. Our fathers used to call It "SOCIal worship" and r wonder whether any significance attaches to the fact Ijjhat we now caU it ." public worship." :At this point, as with our doctrinal in­ heritance, we are part of the fruit of the great RefoTInation mo~­ ment of the 16th century and the heirs not of one but of several of the great reformers of that century. Our heritage is a varied and complex one. It is this which accounts both for its strength and its weakness. First and foremost comes our debt to Luther. For 'IJhe mediaeval Church the Mass was the centre and climax of worship. It had become by the 16th century-in the words of W. D. Maxwell­ "a dramatic spectacle, culminating not in communion but in [lhe miracle of transubstantiation" (An Outline of Christian Worship, 1939 edition, p. 72). The service was said ~naudibly in a rtongue of which few even df the priests remained really masters. Many of the latter were illiterate and the sermon had long fallen into general disuse. The great contribution of the dynamic 'Luther was to restore the vernacular as the medium of worship. His German Bible and his German IMass sett the pattern for many other lands and races besides the German, among them our own. But Luther did more than Ithat. He revised the Roman service of Mass in the interests of gospel purity and then, perhaps less soundly in the long run, asa medium of instruction.

  • The Roles of Women in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Significance of Ellen G
    VIII THE ROLES OF WOMEN IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH SIGNIFICANCE OF ELLEN G. WHITE COUNSELS E. Marcella Anderson Preface Although the Seventh-day Adventist Church draws its faith and doctrine from the Bible only (sola scriptura), it sees the work of Ellen G. White as a particular fulfillment of the gifts of the Holy Spirit to the church and a special bestowal of the “spirit of prophecy” in the end of time. The fact that a woman—Ellen G. White—was chosen by God (after two men had declined the commission) to be His special messenger to the remnant, makes her writings on the roles for women in the church especially pertinent. No other person had a greater impact upon the form and character of this church. “In ancient times God spoke to men by the mouth of prophets and apostles. In these days He speaks to them by the Testimonies of His Spirit. There was never a time when God instructed His people more earnestly than He instructs them now concerning His will and the course that He would have them pursue.”1 So this paper draws heavily upon Mrs. White’s writings as it attempts to portray God’s twentieth century counsel on the roles of women in this church. It will consider God’s call of women to positions of trust; it will canvass similarities and differences between the roles of men and women in the church; it will draw together counsel regarding specific callings for women; and finally it will attempt a summary and conclusions.

  • The Development of the Church of God Abrahamic Faith
    6 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH OF GOD ABRAHAMIC FAITH The Development of the Church of God Abrahamic Faith: 1845-1921 JAN STILSON, B.TH., B.S., M.A.L.S. Introduction Gary Land of Andrews University wrote, “After Christ failed to come in 1844 the Millerites splintered into several groups.”1 It is with those groups that we wish to begin and one of those groups will be the focus of this article. The non-Millerite groups that emerged after the Bitter Disappointment were primarily those who had not attended the Albany Conference, called by William Miller to salvage the splintered Adventist movement. The people who formed these groups had been part of the Adventist movement, but now wished to disassociate themselves from it. It might also be noted that the Millerite movement did not fail because “Christ failed to come.” Christ had not failed; rather, men erred by setting dates for his return. What were these groups? Several historians have defined and discussed them2 but this article is principally interested in the emerging groups as detailed by LeRoy Froom. Froom identifies three movements arising out of the Adventist movement: 1. The inheritors of the Millerite tradition, the Advent Christians; 2. Extremists from New England who eventually disappeared; 3. The Seventh Day Adventists who gained strength through the visions of Ellen White. I contend that there is a fourth branch, which Froom alluded to but did not thoroughly discuss. This branch began as the Age to Come movement, also 1 Gary Land, “Strangers Together: Adventism’s American Experience,” Newsletter of the Adventist Movements Historical Association, Pilot Issue 1993, Morrow, GA: Atlanta Bible College.

No. 204839 (Eliseo F. Soriano v. People of the Philippines and Daniel Veridiano) - Eliseo Soriano is known as the supreme head of the Church of God International or Ang Dating Daan. One of his followers, Daniel Veridiano, who worked as the assistant general-secretary of said church, filed two criminal cases for Rape against him docketed as Criminal Case Nos. 06-3898(M) and 06-3899(M). However, on the date of the scheduled arraignment, Soriano did not appear. On June 2, 2009, the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Macabebe, Pampanga issued an Order for the cancellation and forfeiture of the cash bonds which Soriano posted, and for the issuance of a warrant for his arrest. Thereafter, Soriano moved to quash the two Informations on the grounds that: 1) the crime of anal intercourse, without consent, does not constitute the crime of Rape under Article 266-A of the Revised Penal Code (RPC); 2) the Informations violate the rule against duplicity under Section B, Rule 110 in relation to Section 3(f) of Rule 117 of the Rules of Court; and 3) the Informations violate his constitutional right to be informed of the charge against him. On August 3, 2009, the RTC issued another Order, this time, ordering the forfeiture of the cash bonds, denying Soriano' s motion to quash for lack of merit, and ordering the issuance of warrants of arrest.

Defining Lutheranism from the Margins: Paul Peter Waldenström on Being a “Good Lutheran” in America MARK SAFSTROM he histories of church institutions may often be written by the orthodox “winners,” but dissenters, protestors, and even her Tetics undoubtedly play important roles in giving direction to the parent institution’s evolving identity. Such voices from the mar- gins often set the agenda at crucial moments, prompting both the dissenters and establishment to engage in a debate to define proper theology and practice. Once a dissenting group has formally sepa- rated from a parent body, there is a risk that teleological hindsight will obscure the nature of these conversations, including the reasons for the ultimate separation and the intentions of both the dissenters and the establishment.

  • WHAT IS a "FREE CHURCH"?* There Are Two Misunderstandings of the Church Which Are Very Widely Encountered Today
    1 * WHAT IS A "FREE CHURCH"?* There are two misunderstandings of the church which are very widely encountered today, misunderstandings which confuse almost ©very discussion of the church, her discipline and Indiscipline. Indeed, to raise the very question of church discipline in some circles Is to invite the charge that one represents the "sect-type" or favors the "sectarian Protestant" view of the alternatives, Hear the way in which Professor Max Weber defined the alternative church t$?pe8i "The church is an institution, a sort of establishment of faith ... for the saving of the soul of the individual. The individual is born into it, and is dependent upon it because of the dispensing power of Its office and position. In contrast, a sect is a voluntary association of individuals qualified solely by religious traits, in which the individual freely decides to become a member and the group freely de­ cides whether to accept him or not."* We are reminded immediately of the typology which Weber*s colleague, Professor Ernst Tree Its eh t popularized in The Social Teaching.of the. Christian Churches. *The first of five addresses on this general theme» delivered as the H#ff Lectures at Bethany Theologies! Seminary, Lombard, Illinois , October 15-17, 196 3, by Dr. Franklin H. Littell, Professor at Chicago Theological Seminary. —2 The "church type" represents a kind of continuum of Christ and culture, in which "the church" and "the world" speak the same language. There is no discontinuity of social and educational and religious and polit­ ical values. In effect, the church has consecrated the high places and now serves as one of the mainstays of society.

Parameters of free speech, press, and assembly are frequently drawn, challenged, and recast. Few issues are argued more keenly than those involving reli­ gion: the constitutionality of creches on Christmas, school prayer, Sunday closing laws-even the propriety of having a preacher for president. The Supreme Court's docket is liberally sprinkled with petitions calling for renewed interpretation of the religion clauses.

  • The Early Apostolics and the Trinity
    Chapter 3 The Early Apostolics and the Trinity The Tenets of the Apostolic Church begin with the Trinity (a feature which curiously sets them apart from most other evangelical and Pentecostal state- ments of faith).1 While most other evangelical and Pentecostal movements commence their doctrinal statements with reference to Scripture, the Tenets do not mention Scripture until the eighth position (between the Sacraments and Church government, and thus firmly within the context of ecclesiology). This primacy of the Trinity in the order of the Tenets was not accidental. Rath- er, the early leaders of the Apostolic Church were making clear their firm belief that the doctrine of the Trinity was the doctrine upon which all others rest and from which all others derive their meaning. Hence, unsurprisingly, some of these early leaders devoted significant reflection to the doctrine of the Trinity. 3.1 D.P. Williams and Thomas Rees: The Trinity and the Trinitarian Undergirding of All Theology In 1939 D.P. Williams wrote a two-volume work entitled The Trinity.2 The draft was intended as the first in a series exploring the Tenets of the Apostolic Church. However, due to the outbreak of war, it was never published, and when, after the war and ensuing paper shortages concluded, a series of works on the Tenets was finally published, the volumes included in the series were much less substantial. In fact, these works were not published until after the death of Williams, and thus without any contribution from his pen. When a volume on the Trinity was eventually published in the series of ‘Te- net Booklets’, it was a very short work by Thomas Rees.3 However, this work by 1 The statements of faith of the Elim Pentecostal Church and AoG (the other two indigenous British Pentecostal denominations) both commence with a statement on Scripture.

  • Appendix B: Methodology for Estimating Christian Movements
    95 GLOBAL CHRISTIANITY Appendix B: Methodology for Estimating Christian Movements In many countries, censuses and demographic surveys do not include the detailed denominational affiliation and religious self-identification measures necessary for determining the size of global movements within Christianity (such as evangelicalism, pentecostalism and the charismatic movement). The figures on Christian movements in this report were commissioned by the Pew Forum from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass. CSGC researchers generated their estimates based in large part on figures provided by Christian denominations and organizations around the world. CSGC has obtained denominational membership information from about 41,000 organizations worldwide.24 The Center for the Study of Global Christianity’s estimates for the number of pentecostals worldwide are based on membership data from historically pentecostal denominations, such as the Assemblies of God and the Church of God in Christ. Pentecostal denominations emphasize the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues, divine healing and prophecy. (For more details, see Defining Christian Traditions on page 38.) The pentecostal estimates also include denominations and independent churches that have pervasive pentecostal characteristics or practices but are not considered historically pentecostal.25 Charismatic Christians engage in spiritual practices associated with pentecostalism, such as speaking in tongues and divine healing, but belong to Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or other denominations in which a minority of congregations have pervasive pentecostal practices. (For more details, see Defining Christian Traditions on page 38.) The Center for the Study of Global Christianity’s estimates of the size of the charismatic movement are based on statistics from denominational groups, relevant survey data and questionnaires distributed to key religious leaders.
