Back then this was unthinkable‚ but now equality became a first right in our democratic societies. Right now‚ there is still much of change needed.

The East-West Schism The Filioque‚ or addition of the clause “and from the son” to the Nicene Creed‚ in the west brought the two halves of Christendom into conflict. Two issues were at stake- theology and authority. Was it theologically sound to state that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son as the west came to believe? If so‚ by whose authority could the Nicene Creed be altered? http://joshhatala.wordpress.com/history/the-great-schism-of-1054-an-historiographic-view-by-josh-hatala/

Leilani Hiciano Mrs. Magnan C period 22/3/13 Saint Teresa of Avila Judge and Decide 1. Discuss what Teresa is saying in the above prayer. How does this fit in with the image of the Church as the Body of Christ in the world? I think that Teresa is trying to say that we all have Christ within our hearts and we are him in a sense because we were made in the vision of God and he is God’s son.

When a believer gives their heart to Christ for the first time a process of sanctification begins. By definition sanctification is to be set apart‚ or made holy.

That’s why Paul writes believers should be a “…new creation”‚ or as Jesus said “…born again” (John 3:3) and begin

Beowulf is the stepping stone for the creation of many stories of good vs. evil‚ ending with the hero receiving unending praise and adoration. With that many of the people who read of the epic poem now relate to it on many levels‚ my belief is that the Christian elements throughout this poem make it more intriguing to the modern day peruser. The author of the poem is unknown but based on the style of wording used and the Paganistic elements it is believed to have originally been scribed by Christian
