High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The name Reformed Baptist refers both to a distinct Christian denomination, and to a description of theological leaning. Not all churches or individuals that are Calvinistic in doctrine identify themselves as Reformed Baptist. Reformed Baptists are Baptists that hold to a Calvinistic Soteriology, and typically adhere to the 1644 or 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. They can trace their history through the early modern Particular Baptists of England. Reformed Baptist churches quite often adhere to either the First or Second London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1644 (modified in 1646 and again in 1651) and 1689 respectively. These two statements are usually not considered exhaustive or...

Le refoulement est "un processus suppose par moi et je l'ai considere prouve par l'existence indeniable de la resistance" ecrivait Freud dans son livre Cinq lecons sur la psychanalyse. Pour la psychanalyse, le refoulement est vu comme un mode de defense privilegie contre les pulsions. Le refoulement est l'operation par laquelle le sujet repousse et maintient a distance du conscient des representations considerees comme desagreables, car inconciliables avec le Moi. Il ne faut pas confondre : Repression : Un desir vient de l'inconscient, passe dans la conscience et est renvoye dans l'inconscient....

Reginon or Regino of Prum (died 915) was a Benedictine abbot and medieval chronicler.According to the statements of a later era, Regino was the son of noble parents and was born at the stronghold of Altrip on the Rhine near Speyer at an unknown date. From his election as abbot and from his writings, it is evident that he had entered the Benedictine Order, probably at Prum itself, and that he had been a diligent student. The rich and celebrated Imperial Abbey of Prum suffered greatly during the ninth century from the marauding incursions of the Normans. It had been twice seized and ravaged, in 882 and 892.

Regular clergy, or just regulars, is applied in the Roman Catholic Church to clerics who follow a "rule" (Latin regula) in their life. Strictly, it means those members of religious orders who have made solemn profession. It contrasts with secular clergy.The observance of the Rule of St. Benedict procured for Benedictine monks at an early period the name of "regulars". The Council of Verneuil (755) so refers to them in its third canon, and in its eleventh canon speaks of the "ordo regularis" as opposed to the "ordo canonicus", formed by the canons who lived under the bishop according to the canonical regulations.

Regular Baptists are a diverse group of Baptists in the United States and Canada. The presence of the modifier "Regular" in their names attests to the strong influence of the early Regular Baptists on the growth of Baptists in North America. Two strains of Baptists emigrated from England to America — the General Baptists and the Particular Baptists. The near extinction of the General Baptists, coupled with the expansion of Particular Baptists, especially through the labors of the Philadelphia Baptist Association (org. 1707), probably gave rise to the Particulars becoming the Regular Baptists.

At first, the Christian church was centered in Jerusalem, in an "upper room" perhaps where the Cenacle is today, and leaders included James, Peter, and John. The major primary source for the Apostolic Age (c.30-c.100) is the Acts of the Apostles, but its historical accuracy is disputed. Following the Great Commission, the missionary activity of the Apostles, including Paul of Tarsus, spread Christianity to cities throughout the Hellenistic world, such as Alexandria and Antioch, and also to Rome and even beyond the Roman Empire. The term "Christian" was first applied to members of the church at Antioch according to Acts 11:26. The New Testament includes letters written by Paul to churches, such...

Health Care is a relational activity but in the contemporary setting this relational dimension often takes second place to technological possibilities, professional expertise and economics. In this context the vulnerable person at the heart of health care may be lost. This book brings theology and health care into dialogue to advance the conversation between these two disciplines that serve persons at their most vulnerable points. Drawing on the work of John Macmurray and Emmanuel Levinas, 'Relational Health Care' provides a conceptual framework based on understanding persons in relational terms. A number of controversial cases are investigated to demonstrate the need for relational health care. Re-conceiving the human person in this way...

It is impossible to “have church” without good music. For the African, music is just something that he/she cannot go without. Music is to worship as breathing is to life. It is the most permanent characteristic of the heritage that blacks possess. It permeates the entire African life and thus continually ministers to the whole person. It is even believed among the African that the Spirit will not descend without a song. Worship without the Spirit is non-worship. Vocal music and not necessarily the drums that accompany it, plays a vital role in the evocation of the Spirit and it intensifies the power of the Spirit’s presence with the people. While the early white settlers placed a heavy emphasis on the words with the music being...

The role of Religion in community development cannot be over emphasized. Throughout history the Catholic Church has participated in and initiated social change in various communities. Evangelization cannot occur occur without initiation of justice and peace. True justice must inculcate the traditional practices of the indigenous people. This is according to the understanding of the church against the backdrop of contemporary African social-economic,cultural,religious and political realities. This book therefore, uniquely explores the contribution of the Catholic Church to social change. The study was based on the Biblical principle that a Christian should have concern for the needy and under-privileged as a sign of Jesus Christ's mission...
