| ARTICLES RELATED TO Christian leaders | | | |  Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Primate religion - Roman Catholic ChurchIn the Western Church, a Primate is an archbishop (or rarely a suffragan or exempt bishop) of a see (called a primas) which confers precedence over the other bishops of his own province, or over a number of provinces (possibly part of a province), such as a 'national' church in (historical) political/cultural terms. This precedence gives no additional authority over these other bishops, such as that exercised by a Metropolitan bishop.
The term is generally found in the older Catholic countries, and is now purely honorific, enjo ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Presbyter - History The earliest organization of the Christian Churches in Judea was similar to that of Jewish synagogues, who were governed by a council of elders (presbyteroi). In Acts 11:30 and 15:22, we see this collegiate system of government in Jerusalem, and in Acts 14:23, the Apostle Paul ordains elders in the churches he founded. Initially, these presbyters were apparently identical with the overseers (episkopoi, i.e., bishops), as such passages as Acts 20:17, Titus 1:5,7 and 1 Peter 5:1f indicate ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Deacon - Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, & Anglicanism The diaconate is one of the three ordained offices in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches. The other two offices are those of priest and of bishop.
In Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox churches, deacons assist priests in their pastoral and administrative duties, but report directly to the bishop. They have a distinctive role in the liturgy, their main tasks being to read the Gospel and assist in th ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Duane Gish - Debates In his efforts to promote creation science, Gish has frequently debated prominent and well-known evolutionary scientists, with mixed results. Opponents object to the often unstructured nature of the debates, what they call a "shotgun" approach to presenting many arguments, each of which would require considerable time and information to refute, a technique which has been referred to as the "Gish gallop." Another objection from opponents is that creationists "load" the audience with supporters, leading to a tendency for the audience to have pre-conceived beliefs in favor of creationism, although Gish has also debated in fron ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Deacon - Church of Christ The role of deacons in this church is also widely varied. Generally they are put in control of various programs of a congregation. They are servants, as the etymology indicates, of the church.

In United Methodism, it is one of two ordained clergy offices, the other being that of Elder. Deacons are ordained to Word and Service and assist Elders (who are ordained to Word, Sacrament, and Order) in equipping the saints for ministry.

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Abbot - Protestantism In the German Evangelical Church the title of abbot (Abt) is sometimes bestowed, like abbé, as an honorary distinction, and sometimes survives to designate the heads of monasteries converted at the Reformation into collegiate foundations. Of these the most noteworthy is the abbey of Lokkum in Hanover, founded as a Cistercian house in 1163 by Count Wilbrand of Hallermund, and reformed in 1593. The abbot of Lokkum, who still carries a pastoral staff, takes precedence of all the clergy of Hanover, and is ex officio a member of the consistory of the kingdom. The governing body of the abbey consists of abbot, prior and the "co ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Charles Buell Anderson - Two more 'uncommon spiritual experiences'
Charles Buell Anderson - An experience of forgiveness.
In Anderson’s Forgiveness Week Invitation he also states that he had a second 'uncommon spiritual experience' in 1971 while lying on what he presumed would be his deathbed. Anderson describes this second uncommon spiritual experiences as experiences of "peace and happiness" during which he became aware that forgiveness was the only answer, that mankind had the ability to renew itself from the ashes of conflict and despair, and that he was to "teach o ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Abbot - Abbatial hierarchy In several orders, there exists a pyramidal relationship between a major abbey (often the old mother of several others, especially if it was the place from where a monastic reform was launched, which in other cases even lead to breaking away as a new order of congregation) and other ones (often younger daughters), even when these are not (or no longer) priories but have their own abbot. As a daughter could often become a mother in a next phase, the 'family tree' can become very complex, but often the grandmother remains the only one with ack ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Abbot - General Information Before the late modern era, the abbot was treated with the utmost reverence by the brethren of his house. When he appeared either in church or chapter all present rose and bowed. His letters were received kneeling, as were those of the pope and the king. No monk might sit in his presence, or leave it without his permission, reflecting the hierarchical etiquette of families and society. The highest place was assigned to him, both in church and at table. In the East he was commanded to eat with the other monks. In the West the Rule of St Bened ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Primate religion - Anglican Communion The title is often encountered in the churches of the Anglican Communion, which is divided into provinces each of which usually has a metropolitan. The senior metropolitan in the national church is called the primate, though this title was only in recent years added by the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.
In England, however, the metropolitans of the two provinces of Canterbury and York, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York, are Primate of All England and Pri ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Charles Buell Anderson - Beginnings of a student organization The next known account of Anderson’s life comes from early 1991 in which he is described as having found four students, and to have recently discovered the book, A Course In Miracles. Amongst Anderson’s first students were former fellow AA members that Anderson had sponsored while in that organization. According to writer Kaley Picone, it was Anderson’s discovery of the book, A Course In Miracles, that resulted in his first gaining of dozens, then hundreds of new students. Also in 1991 Anderson first began to acquire prop ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Charles Buell Anderson - Early teachings At about this time, Anderson’s students were informed that they should begin preparations to find local accommodations for approximately 10,000 students who were expected to arrive ‘soon’. They were told that 12 fully illuminated disciples would be chosen to establish 12 regional teaching centers throughout the world.
During these early formative years of Anderson’s organization, Anderson’s students were also first taught by Anderson of the existence of a certain list, which contained the names of certain students tha ...

| | | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Charles Buell Anderson - Hailed for removing ACIM copyrights In 1995 Anderson and his students became involved in a certain copyright litigation, disputing the validity of the copyrights to the book ACIM with the publisher of that work. This was a highly contentious litigation in which other students and student organizations of ACIM became involved, generally tending to align themselves with Anderson and against the publisher of that work. This litigation dragged on for eight years until in 2003 Anderson and his organization, backed by other students of ACIM, succeeded in overturning the copyrights t ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Charles Buell Anderson - Reports of former students Many of Anderson’s former students have expressed serious concerns about some of Anderson’s behavior as The Master Teacher, and also about some of the behavior of some of Anderson’s students. Allegations have been made that Anderson’s teaching methods have sometimes become physically violent, and at times have even bordered on the sexual abuse of his female students. Further allegations have been made that some of his students have engaged in similar types of abuse of not only adults, but of children as well. Many former higher level students are openly critical of Anderson. Other claims of v ...

| | | | | Christian leaders: Encyclopedia II - Charles Buell Anderson - Comparison of teachings to ACIM teachings Since the time of Anderson's earlier teachings, even though some minor terminology and secondary details appear to have made some slight shifts, still the underlying fundamental premesis of these teachings appears to have remained essentially unchanged. Should one wish to determine whether or not Anderson’s taechings accurately represent the teachings of A Course In Miracles, a comparison of these two teachings becomes necessary. In summary, Anderson appears to teach that he has a special mission to assist a select group of people to achie ...
