Book Description
Churches today are characterized by problems, errors, and frustrations resulting from misunderstandings, misinterpretations, negligence, ignorance, and naiveté. It is a lack of protocol within the church itself as well as the body of Christ that has weakened the church in this way. Wouldn’t it be great if we could minimize these types of problems? That is sure to happen with the assistance of Pastor Mesa. Ministry Protocol is a gold mine of valuable guidelines, including many “nuggets of truth,” for the church and its members to help both restore and maintain order—God’s order. From finances to etiquette to respect, Diego Mesa imparts wisdom from his thirty years’ pastoral experience. Church members will learn to improve relationships, and have understanding, accountability, and responsibility. The church will gain productivity, a firm direction, and a unified purpose. That ultimate purpose is to tear down the kingdom of darkness and win souls for Christ.

The Orders of Ministry in the United Methodist Church
Author: John E. Harnish
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
This volume is a collection of essays by leading United Methodist scholars about the implications of the revised orders of ministry in The United Methodist Church. Eagerness to effectively communicate the gospel has driven an approach to ministry that is fundamentally pragmatic and functional. In approaching the question of the role of ordained ministry within the overall calling of the people of God, Methodists have traditionally asked "What works?" and then gone on to reflect theologically on the approach they are considering. In 1996, UM General Conference enacted sweeping changes regarding the offices of deacon and elder. The decisions of General Conference have raised a number of questions that we are just now beginning to explore. This book addresses major recent changes within the denomination and explores these changes from a historical, theological, and practical point of view. It helps readers understand the dynamics of and the reasons for the new order of ministry and helps them understand the implications of the changes for the denomination and for individuals.

Two Views on Women in Ministry

Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310864518
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
The role of women in positions of worship and church leadership is one of the most divisive and inconclusive biblical debates. Two Views on Women in Ministry furnishes you with a clear and thorough presentation of the two primary exegetical arguments so you can better understand each one's strengths, weaknesses, and complexities. Egalitarian - equal ministry opportunity for both genders (represented by Linda L. Belleville and Craig S. Keener) Complementarian - men and women fill distinctive ministry roles (represented by Craig L. Blomberg and Thomas R. Schreiner) This revised edition brings the exchange of ideas and perspectives into the traditional Counterpoints format. Each author states his or her case and is then critiqued by the other contributors. The fair-minded, interactive Counterpoints forum allows you to compare and contrast the two different positions and form your own opinion concerning the practical and often deeply personal subject of women in ministry. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
