question was very popular and the answer with great confidence and near unanimity, ‘because there were so many of them’. The existence of people whose religious convictions differed from those approved by the church was in itself the cause of the persecution. The diffusion of their teachings and the appearance of their organization in the Rhineland, the Low Countries, the Languedoc and the cities of Lombardy and Tuscany during the eleventh and twelfth

While N.T Wright’s book, Simply Christian is composed of three main parts, the focus that answers the question is predominately in part II. Wright has a pattern of simplifying Christianity, increasing its clarity and accessibility. In that manner, the value of Jesus’s resurrection dates long before he was crucified, or even born, or even before his immaculate conception—in the promise and will of God. One could argue that the Bible itself is the story of who God is through his son, Jesus, and the

“Every child has a different learning style and pace. Each child is unique, not only capable of learning, but also capable of succeeding.” This quote, spoken by Robert John Meehan, presents the idea that every individual learns differently, and expanding on this idea, even different age groups learn variously. Statistics show that teenagers are more likely to attend some sort of worship service over adults (“What”). Our generation is slowly getting back into church and the youth is finding their

For my second Observation Report, I visited the church of St. Charles Borromeo in Arlington. Every Wednesday, the church holds what they call the “P3” service for Young Adults. It was my second time visiting this church and the impression was the same as the first time: admiration for the many young adults that participate in this type of service in a church. Again, the church location is great because the area is very active and there are a lot of young people around. “P3” started at 6:30pm, this

The more we are close to God, then we should get rid of our all the wrong things that we are not asked to do. Most of the Christians do not take into consideration most of the teachings of Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount. His teachings are more abstract to many people in the world. The fire in his speech could only turn the expectations about life and not the way of living
