High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! En matiere politico-religieuse, un concordat (du latin medieval concordatum, « accord, traite ») est un traite signe entre le Saint-Siege et un Etat particulier (ou entre un souverain et le pape pour l'Europe pre-moderne) dans le but de definir les domaines respectifs et clarifier les relations entre l'Eglise et les autorites civiles du pays signataire (ou concordataire). Selon la situation politique du pays, et selon l'etat de ses relations avec le Vatican, le concordat peut comporter des clauses liberales et d'autres plus restrictives. Apres le Concile Vatican II, et surtout sa declaration sur la liberte religieuse Dignitatis humanae (7 decembre 1965), les concordats doivent s'en inspirer....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Confessions is the name of an autobiographical work, consisting of 13 books, by St. Augustine of Hippo, written between AD 397 and AD 398. Modern English translations of it are sometimes published under the title The Confessions of St. Augustine in order to distinguish the book from other books with similar titles. The work outlines Augustine's sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. It is widely seen as the first Western autobiography ever written, and was an influential model for Christian writers throughout the following 1000 years of the Middle Ages. It is not a complete autobiography, as it was written in his early 40s, and he lived long afterwards, producing another important...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Confession of 1967 is a confessional standard or guide of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) (short: PC(USA)). The Special Committee on a Brief Contemporary Statement of Faith began preparing the Confession of 1967 in 1958; the document was first published to the Presbyterian Church's General Assembly in 1965. The committee was chaired by Edward Dowey, Jr., professor at Princeton Theological Seminary.

The document is considered to be...

Confessional Lutheran is a name used by certain Lutheran Christians to designate themselves as those who accept the doctrines taught in the Book of Concord of 1580 the Lutheran "confessional" documents in their entirety, because they believe them to be completely faithful to the teachings of the Bible. While most Lutheran denominations find the basis of their faith in the Book of Concord, "Confessional Lutherans" maintain that faithfulness to it requires attention to how that faith is actually being preached, taught, and put into practice. Confessional Lutherans believe that this is a vital part of their identity as Lutherans.While the term "Confessional Lutheran" is sometimes used to refer exclusively to the more conservative churches...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Confession inscriptions of Lydia and Phrygia are Roman- era Koine Greek religious steles from these historical regions of Anatolia, dating mostly to the 2nd and 3rd centuries. They have provoked less discussion than one would expect. The new element that appears, the public confession of sin and the redemption through offerings, unknown to traditional Greek religion, has made scholars to name this social phenomenon as oriental. The religious thought and the use of vernacular Koine Greek, full of innovative orthography,syntax and grammar, suggests that they may also represent something at the root of religion in...

In this book I have attempted to chart a path for the reader toward understanding how rigorous empirical scientific thought and solid, informed as well as inspired religious faith are in fact congruent. The instruments that are used in this book to chart this path include: (1) the findings of scripture scholars regarding the Genesis creation narratives, (2) the basic biology of evolution and genetics, (3) the philosophy and theology behind the positions people take with respect to evolution and religious faith, (4) the basics of the science of complexity, (5) the evolutionary thought of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and (6) the evolutionary theology of John Haught. Out in the forest there are two clearwater streams that, at close range,...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The conflict thesis proposes an intrinsic intellectual conflict between religion and science. The original historical usage of the term denoted that the historical record indicates religion’s perpetual opposition to science. Later uses of the term denote religion’s epistemological opposition to science. Also denominated as the Draper–White Thesis, the Warfare Thesis, and the Warfare Model, the conflict thesis interprets the relationship between religion and science as inevitably leading to public hostility, when religion aggressively challenges against new scientific ideas — as in the Galileo Affair (1614–15).

This book researched six congregations to discover common characteristics of congregations who are accepting, welcoming, and supporting of people with chronic mental illness or diversity. Two attitudes were present in these congregations; (a) each person is a child of God, and (b) all people are gifted by God.

Congregational churches are Protestant Christian churches practicing Congregationalist church governance, in which each congregation independently and autonomously runs its own affairs. Many Congregational churches claim their descent from the original Congregational churches, a family of Protestant denominations formed on a theory of union published by the theologian Robert Browne in 1592. They arose from the Nonconformist religious movement in England during the Puritan reformation of the Church of England. In Great Britain, the early congregationalists were called separatists or independents to distinguish themselves from the similarly Calvinistic Presbyterians. Some congregationalists there still call themselves "Independents"....

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Congregationalist polity, often known as congregationalism, is a system of church governance in which every local church congregation is independent, ecclesiastically sovereign, or "autonomous." Among those major Protestant Christian traditions that employ congregationalism are those Congregational Churches known by the "Congregationalist" name that descended from the Anglo-American Puritan movement of the 17th century, the Baptist churches, and most of the groups brought about by the Anabaptist movement in Germany that immigrated to the U.S. in the late 18th century. More recent generations have witnessed also...

Conjuration in traditional and most contemporary usage refers to a magical act of invoking spirits or using incantations or charms to cast magical spells. In the context of legerdemain, it may also refer to the performance of illusion or magic tricks for show. The word conjuration can be interpreted in several different ways: as an invocation or evocation (the latter in the sense of binding by a vow); as an exorcism; as an act of producing effects by magical means. The word is often used synonymously with terms such as "invocation" or "evocation" or "summoning", although many authors find it useful to maintain...

Western Christianity is doctrinally and philosophically very different from traditional Japanese thinking, but in the domain of moral thought there are broad areas of fruitful dialogue, as Osamu Takeuchi's study demonstrates. Takeuchi puts the Japanese concepts of ryoshin (originally good heart/mind, or conscience) and makoto (sincerity, reality, integrity) into dialogue with historical and contemporary Catholic moral theology. Takeuchi demonstrates that traditional Japanese moral thought has much to contribute to Catholic theology, not only for Japanese Christians, but for the global church. It also demonstrates the ways in which the Confucian heritage of Japan continues to be a rich resource for the contemporary world.—Judith A....

The word "consecration" literally means "to associate with the sacred". Persons, places, or things can be consecrated, and the term is used in various ways by different groups. A synonym for consecration is to sanctify. An antonym is desecrate. The word "consecration" is used in the Catholic Church as the setting apart for the service of God of both persons and objects. The ordination of a new bishop is also called a consecration. While the term "episcopal ordination" is now more common, "consecration" was the preferred term in the centuries immediately preceding the Second Vatican Council. he life of...

Consubstantiation is a theological doctrine that (like transubstantiation) attempts to describe the nature of the Christian Eucharist in concrete metaphysical terms. It holds that during the sacrament, the fundamental "substance" of the body and blood of Christ are present alongside the substance of the bread and wine, which remain present. The doctrine of consubstantiation is often held in contrast to the doctrine of transubstantiation. The doctrine of consubstantiation, advocated by the medieval scholastic theologian Duns Scotus, is erroneously identified as the eucharistic doctrine of Martin Luther, who defined his doctrine as the sacramental union. While some Lutherans believe in consubstantiation, others reject the concept because...
