Is your church facing a period of change? Are you overwhelmed with too much to do? Or are you searching for a new vision? If you are looking to take your church in a new direction, then How to Develop Your Local Church can help you decide which path to follow. Written by an experienced practitioner, it will help you to understand your congregation better: how it operates, what its members take for granted, what their priorities are and what the 'character' of the congregation is. The book then explains some of the reasons for frustration and conflict in church life, and points to positive ways forward, giving guidance on planning and decision-making. Just as no two churches are the same, there is no 'one-size-fits-all' answer to how your church might develop. Rather, it is only by drawing upon the collective wisdom of the local congregation that worthwhile change will begin to happen.

(Second Edition) Since it began more than two millennia ago, Christianity has given birth to a wide range of traditions, covering most of the languages and cultures of the earth. Among the most ancients of these, the Syriac speaking churches occupy a special place: they alone are using what is considered to be the mother tongue of Jesus himself, Aramaic, which is also one of the two languages of the Old Testament. More than a source of mere linguistic curiosities, the Syriac churches have also preserved a precious variety of rites and prayers that form more than a set of scattered jewels: what they offer are a true way of life and, in particular, a life of prayer, which is not only rooted in a single theological vision, but also offer man a chance to reconcile his spiritual life with the cycle of nature that he experiences each day, week, month, or year of his life. The present book offers a translation of one of these traditions: the weekly prayer cycle of the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch, that is, the breviary gathering the text of the seven services of each day of the week, except for some of the services of the first day, whose text changes every week. The Syriac text is here first translated once in an interlinear form in order for the Syriac learner to be able to follow and understand the services without impediment, and it is translated a second time in plain English at the bottom of each page. Before the translation, an essay will show the link between the weekly prayer cycle and the cycle of nature which is displayed across the sky, tied to the movement of the sun for the days, the phases of the moon for the weeks and the months, etc. This reflection aims at the nurturing of a stronger bond with the sacred, through the conjunction of prayer with a deep awareness of the experience of the flow of nature. About the author: Antón Bousquet is an independent researcher specialized in the philosophy of language, the philosophy of religion, and comparative cultural studies. He holds a Master's degree in Linguistics from the University of Grenoble III in France and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies from Fujen Catholic University in Taiwan. A former teacher of French as a foreign language, he has worked in different parts of Europe, the Middle-East, and Asia.

The papers in this volume were presented at a conference held at the Roehampton Institute, London, in February 1995, and are concerned with either theological or literary issues related to the nature of religious language. The papers suggest further issues that are still unresolved about the nature of religious language, from its early usage in the biblical texts to its recent use in contemporary writing and religious discourse.

Church History in Plain Language makes church history clear, memorable, and accessible to every reader. Dr. Bruce Shelley makes church history come alive in this classic book that has become not only the first choice of many laypeople and church leaders but the standard text in many college classrooms. Church History in Plain Language treats history as the story of people—their motivations, the issues they grapple with, the decisions they make—and the result is that history reads like a story, almost as dramatic and moving as a novel. This fourth edition, revised by R.L. Hatchett, brings the story of Christianity into the twenty-first century, with detailed information on: Theology of the early church and Reformation Gnosticism and its ongoing relevance The rapid global extension and transformation of Christianity since 1900 The decline in traditional mainline denominations The influence of technology on the spread of the gospel How Christianity intersects with other religions in countries all over the world Church History in Plain Language makes history easy to follow and retain by dividing the Christian story into the great ages of the church. Its clarity, organization, and historical accuracy are part of what make this book a go-to resource for today's readers.
