Entendemos de alguna guisa que es un sacerdote que tiene un puesto más arriba que el resto de los que conocemos normalmente, algo que intuimos por detalles que están a la presencia, por ejemplo, la vestidura que portan.
Programs, techniques, and gimmicks may cause church attendance to increase, but only God adds souls to the kingdom of God. Only new spiritual life by faith in Jesus Christ and spiritually maturing saints are important. Attendance is secondary.
Desde un punto de presencia etimológico, el obispo es aquella dignidad eclesiástica encargada del control y vigilancia del cumplimento de las leyes de la Iglesia católica o del derecho Chuchoónico en el comarca de su jurisdicción o diócesis.
Patriarca: Se refiere al obispo que ejerce la Mando de una iglesia ortodoxa determinada, el que preside el Santo Sínodo de la misma y el representante de ella delante otras iglesias, religiones y estados (es el equivalente al rango católico de papa).
In contrast, today a man declares that God has called him and friends are usually supportive. He goes to seminary and then waits for a church to hire him. Some churches ask subjective questions about a man’s call to the ministry and qualifications. Typically, the church has not been able to observe his life and assess his qualifications for ministry.
Obispo auxiliar: Es el asignado a un obispo ordinario para que le supla o ayude en el gobierno de la diócesis. Antiguamente recibía aún el nombre de obispo de anillo.
Con el establecimiento de las parroquias, los obispos se liberaron de muchas de sus tareas originales y se dedicaron a asuntos más importantes de la diócesis y a su supervisión.
Generalmente es de color bruno, pero en las iglesias de tradición eslávica los arzobispos metropolitanos usan un kamelaukion de color blanco. Sirve al obispo en aquellas ceremonias religiosas en que no usa la mitra.
Various articles in our Leadership section, should be helpful. Also the articles “What does a Christian do when their pastor is sinning and will not repent?” and “Should I leave this church?” will help.
Eventually, I was a manager of defense programs. God helped me earn a degree in Mathematics and two masters degrees (education from CSULA and engineering from UCLA).
Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me . . . Jeremiah 9:23-24
One pastor told his leadership team that if they would just let him make all of the decisions, they would have a large church attendance. His definition of success was numbers. He missed the point that the teaching of scripture results in changed lives when the Holy Spirit is able to ignite the heart of the teacher or preacher through the Word of God.
En my review here la Contemporaneidad, los obispos son nombrados de modo directa por el papa en el caso de la Iglesia latina o el Santo Sínodo en el caso de las Iglesias orientales. El modo que sigue la Iglesia latina es el posterior: El nuncio apostólico de cada país reúne información en cada provincia eclesiástica del país sobre los candidatos al episcopado, enviándola a la Santa Sede.
These qualifications do not include any statements about job or ministry performance. All of the qualifications are about character, family, home life and public opinion. God is more concerned about a man’s righteous behavior and heart than he is about “job or ministry performance.” Moses is an example of a man who had a great ministry. He had great “job or ministry performance” but when he sinned, God removed him from his ministry (Numbers 20:9-13; Deuteronomy 32:51). His personal behavior was more important that his performance. The message “Moses – Call To Faithfulness” will provide an explanation of what happened.
