Communion: Encyclopedia II - Baptist - Worship style

The focus of Baptist church services is the sermon. This can be seen in traditional Baptist church architecture--the pulpit, which is symbolic of proclamation of the Word of God, is the largest piece of furniture and centered on the platform, while the communion table placed below it in a symbolically "subservient" position (in sharp contrast to the Roman Catholic church which places the communion table at the center of the platform, since communion is the focus of its services, while the pulpit is off to one side). However, some of the mode ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Priest - In Christianity

In the Christian context, some confusion is caused for English speakers by two different Greek words traditionally translated as priest. Both occur in the New Testament, which draws a distinction not always observed in English. The first, presbyteros (πρεσβυτερος), Latin presbyter, is traditionally translated priest and the English word priest is indeed etymologically derived from this word; literally, it means elder, and is used in neutral and non-religious contexts in Gr ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Eucharist - Ritual and liturgy

Eucharist - The Agape feast. The Agape feast was the Eucharistic celebration of the early Christians. While centered on the ritual of the bread and wine, it also included various other ritual elements, including elements of the Passover seder and of Mediterranean funerary banquets, also termed Agape Feasts. Agape is one of the Greek words for love, particularly applied to selfless love. Such meals were widespread, tho ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Eucharistic discipline - Catholic practice

Sufficient spiritual preparation must be made by each Catholic prior to receiving Holy Communion. A Catholic guilty of mortal sin should first make a sacramental confession: otherwise that person commits a sacrilege. Also, Catholics must abstain from food and drink (except water and medicine) for one hour before receiving, and must, of course, have a true belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The official regulations of the Catholic Church are to be found in Book IV, Part I, Title III, Chapter I, Article 2 (Participa ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Eucharist - Christian Theology

The Eucharist has always been at the center of Christian worship, though theological interpretations vary. In general, the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox traditions see the Eucharist as the fulfillment of God's plan for the salvation of humanity from sin (the "Divine Economy"), a commemoration and making present of Jesus' Crucifixion on Calvary and his Resurrection, the means for Christians to unite with God and with each other, and the giving of thanks for all these things. Differences in Eucharistic theology tend to be related ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Christian monasticism - Protestant Monasticism

The tradition of monasticism in the Protestant tradition remotes from John Wyclif who organized the Lollard Preacher Order (the "Poor Priests") to promote his reformation views. During the Reformation the teachings of Luther led to the end the monasteries, but a few Protestants followed monastic lives. Christian monasticism - Anglican Communion. A small but hugely influential aspect of Anglicanism is its religious orders of monks and nuns, Brothers and Sisters. Shortly after the ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - New Apostolic Church - Doctrine

The New Apostolic Church sees herself as the salvation work of Jesus Christ and is strongly expecting the return of Jesus Christ in the near future, aiming to be led into heaven when Jesus Christ returns on earth. The base of this faith is found in the Bible. The New Apostolic Church knows three sacraments: New Apostolic Church - Holy Baptism with water. In the NAC is the Holy Baptism with water part of the spritual rebirth and a prerequisite for receiving the Holy Spirit. Everyone can be baptised, both children and adults. The baptism ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Eucharist - Eucharist in the Bible

The three synoptic Gospels (Matthew [7], Mark [8], and Luke [9]) as well as Saint Paul's first Letter to the Corinthians [10] contain versions of the Words of Institution spoken by Jesus at the Last Supper: "Take, eat, this is my body ... Take, drink, this is my blood ... Do this in remembrance of me." All subsequent celebration of the Eucharist is based on this injunction. John 6 is also interpreted in connection with the Eucharist: " For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him."

It is the Eastern Orthodox churches' work to embrace estranged communions as (possibly former) beneficiaries of a common gift, and simultaneously ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Priest - In Judaism

In Judaism, the Kohanim (singular Kohan or Kohen, whence the family name Cohen) are hereditary priests through paternal descent. These families are from the tribe of the Levi'im (Levites) (whence the family name Levy), and are traditionally accepted as the descendants of Aaron. During the times of the two Jewish Temples in Jerusalem, they were responsible for daily and special Jewish holiday offerings and sacrifices within the temples known as the korbanot. Since the demise of the Second Temple, it has been the rabbis who became the most im ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Excommunication - Christianity

Excommunication - Anathema. The biblical form of excommunication is to declare one anathema. The difference between an anathema and excommunication is that generally excommunications are pronounced by the Catholic Church, which has created a ceremony that corresponds to them. This ceremony is proper only to Bishops and other prelates, and is contained in the Pontificale Romanum, a liturgical book of the Roman Rite which contains all of the sacraments and other ceremonies a Bishop might perform. Anathemas were emp ...

Communion: Encyclopedia II - Eucharist - Alleged pre-Christian origins

Some scholars note the connection of the idea of feeding on the life-force of a mystical entity being characteristic of the central rites of Greco-Roman and Near-Eastern mystery religions, the context in which the acts and ordinances of Jesus and his apostles came to be memorialized. In a spiritual sense, Christianity promoted the idea that their "unbloody mysteries" [cf. Basil the Great (c. 329-379), John Chrysostom (c. 347-407), Council of Trent (1546-1563), Theses of Bonn(date?)] conveyed in actuality the purported mystical benefits of fl ...
