	Ecclesial Movements-response of the Holy Spirit
		Notable among the characteristics of missionary commitment found in ecclesial movements and new communities is the indisputable ability to awaken the apostolic enthusiasm and missionary courage of the laity.
		In this way the movements and new communities are responding to one of the most urgent needs of the Church today, which is the catechesis of adults, understood her as an authentic Christian initiation manifesting the value and beauty of the sacrament of baptism.
		John Paul II never tired of insisting that the ecclesial movements and new communities are called to take their place "humbly" in dioceses and parishes, serving the Church with an attitude wholly devoid of pride or superiority with regard to other realities and with a true spirit of sincere collaboration and ecclesial communion.

		Because of such abuses, the Agape gradually fell into disfavor, and after being subjected to various regulations and restrictions, was finally dropped from the liturgy of the Church between the 6th and 8th centuries.
		The cup may be communal with the priest wiping the lip of the cup with a cloth after each person receives.
		Methodists hold, however, that the grace of God communicated through the Eucharist is powerful and sustaining as well as (potentially) converting; thus the sacrament is viewed as an evangelical sacrament.

	CIN - Reconciliatio et Paenitentia - On Reconciliation and Penance - Pope John Paul II
		At the basis of this dialogue with the other churches and Christian communities and with the other religions, and as a condition of her credibility and effectiveness, there must be a sincere effort of permanent and renewed dialogue within the Catholic Church herself.
		Catechesis on the concrete circumstances in which reconciliation has to be achieved (in the family, in the civil community, in social structures) and particularly catechesis on the four reconciliations which repair the four fundamental rifts: reconciliation of man with God, with self, with the brethren and with the whole of creation.
		This regards the many different needs inherent in the life of the human community, in relationships between individuals, families, groups in their different spheres and in the very constitution of a society that intends to follow the moral law, which is the foundation of civilization.

	“A FIRE STRONG ENOUGH TO CONSUME THE HOUSE:" THE WARS OF RELIGION AND THE RISE OF THE STATE”
		Religion is a universal essence detachable from particular ecclesial practices, and as such can provide the motivation necessary for all citizens of whatever creed to regard the nation‑state as their primary community, and thus produce peaceful consensus.
		Furthermore the virtues are acquired communally, within the practices of a disciplined ecclesial community which, as the Body of Christ, retains the authority to tell vice from virtue, or violence from peace.
		In contrast, as some Latin American churches have shown us, the Christian way to resist institutionalized violence is to adhere to one another as Church, to act as a disciplined Body in witness to the world.

		Third, I will suggest that some of the base ecclesial communities may be enacting Christianity as a form of resistance to capitalism that is better suited to the "signs of the times," that holds more promise in a postmodern age.
		<5> It appears that some of the base communities are, in the words of Leonardo Boff, "reinventing the church," generating a new practice of faith that neither heeds the modern boundaries between religion and politics nor succumbs to the allure of the state (1986; cf.
		Among some base communities there is a growing sense of the futility of relying on the state to insure "capitalist development for all" (Gallardo 1994: 21) or "capitalism with a human face" (Tamayo: 78).

		In contrast both denominations and sects are in the minority, with recruitment by conversion or family membership.
		On the one hand the sense of community in the church can be very attractive to outsiders, on the other the tendency for each group to become exclusive, cliquey and even an homogeneous social or ethnic unit, can present a great barrier to the newcomer.
		Communication and culture always involves much more than words, and in the inner city where the written and abstract forms of language are not much used other channels of communication are a vital part of worship.

	Initiation
		For example, he contrasted the faithful with "uninitiated catechumens." The postbaptismal catecheses (380-390) traditionally ascribed to Cyril in Jerusalem (but more probably delivered by his successor John) style themselves "mystagogic" catecheses -- instruction inspired by the mysteries, possible only after the celebration of the baptismal rites.
		Once again, the descriptions of baptismal liturgies of the period are quite detailed, and it seems clear that the fathers understood the entire baptismal complex as initiation into the Christian mysteries, notably the celebration of the Eucharist.
		Those who have not been confirmed are ineligible to enter a seminary, to be ordained, to enter into the novitiate of a religious community, and to perform the role of godparent at baptism and sponsor at confirmation.

	Eucharist
		Many Protestant traditions refer to "Communion", a term used abundantly in Catholic and Orthodox circles as well.
		A.D. : "...no one else is permitted to partake of it, except one who believes our teaching to be true...." In those ecclesial communities, communion is therefore closed, in that people who are not members of the church are asked not to participate.
		Denominations that practice closed communion will only share the Eucharist with members of their own church and with members of churches they consider to be in full communion with themselves.

		The Jewish communities in the Diaspora, being deprived of any national political authority of their own, became increasingly distanced from one another, and it was the institutional priesthood, which found itself charged with the preservation of unity.
		The community on whose behalf the High Priest interceded is referred to by different metaphors, which stress its organic unity: a vine (Isa 5:7; Ps 80:9-17), a tree (Ez 17:23), a city (Isa 26:1-2; Ps 46:5), a flock (Ps 95:7; Ez 34).
		The communities which preserved and cultivated the Johannine traditions differed on many points from those in which the Synoptic traditions were expressed: their Christology strongly and explicitly affirms the divine sonship of Jesus and even his divinity, their pneumatology is detailed, and eschatology is often presented as already realized.

		It also enabled them to draw from it a fresh impulse for the Christian life And Apostolate, That reflection was further deepened in the more immediate preparation for the work of the synod, thanks to the instrumentum laboris which was sent in due course to the bishops and their collaborators.
		The church is reconciling inasmuch as she proclaims the message of reconciliation as she has always done throughout her history, from the apostolic Council of Jerusalem(36) down to the latest synod and the recent jubilee of the redemption.

		The Anabaptist model of engaging the powers is through nurturing their distinctiveness as a church or "contrast society" (Clohfink 1984, 122-132) from the wider society and its powers.
		We shall resist social injustice and the disintegration of community if justice and mercy prevail in our own common life and social differences have lost their power to divide (Berkhof, 51).
		Fears or biases can be projected out onto the community and be called "territorial spirits," instead of going through the process of careful discernment through a wide variety of spiritual disciplines.

	U.S. Catholic Bishops - Office for the Catechism
		It is not a matter of adding together all the riches scattered throughout the various Christian Communities in order to arrive at a Church which God has in mind for the future.
		"Ecclesial communities derived from the Reformation and separated from the Catholic Church, ‘have not preserved the proper reality of the Eucharistic mystery in its fullness, especially because of the absence of the sacrament of Holy Orders.' It is for this reason that Eucharistic intercommunion with these communities is not possible for the Catholic Church.
		Albeit in an invisible way, the communion between our Communities, even if still incomplete, is still truly and solidly grounded in the full communion of the saints--those who, at the end of a life faithful to grace, are in communion with Christ in glory.

	Sandra M. Schneiders: Evangelical Equality: Religious Consecration, Mission, and Witness
		Monarchical forms of government also appeared increasingly problematical in a community of co-disciples and ministers, so religious began the arduous task of developing truly collegial ways of ordering their lives together.
		The Church which would trace its origin to the itinerant preacher from Nazareth is a community of equal disciples, called first to solidarity in friendship among themselves, then to the evangelization of the world.
		Religious undertake to live their baptismal vocation in celibacy freely chosen for the sake of the Reign of God and in the particular kind of ecclesial community that shared celibacy and ministry create.

		The basic document of the Synod (also called the Lineamenta), which was prepared with the sole purpose of presenting the theme while stressing certain fundamental aspects of it, enabled the ecclesial communities throughout the world to reflect for almost two years on these aspects of a question--that of conversion and reconciliation which concerns everyone.
		But the message of reconciliation has also been entrusted to the whole community of believers, to the whole fabric of the Church, that is to say, the task of doing everything possible to witness to reconciliation and to bring it about in the world.
		In that passage the sin that leads to death seems to be the denial of the Son,[85] or the worship of false gods.[86] At any rate, by this distinction of concepts John seems to wish to emphasize the incalculable seriousness of what constitutes the very essence of sin, namely the rejection of God.

		The second part is concerned with relationships between the Roman Catholic Church and other Churches and ecclesial communities.

		Elsewhere, in various “ecclesial communities” there may be elements of grace and truth, but these derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church.

	WESLEYAN FAITH SEEKING BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING
		This is to be contrasted to historical criticism and the inductive method, both of which were supposed to challenge the circular reasoning thought to be endemic in a scholastic approach (Hartley, 58: Munn.
		This grounds Scripture in an anthropology wherein the community s self-identity is paramount rather than in a theology wherein God’s initiatives and claims on the community of faith are paramount.
		This is why the church not only seeks to pursue the nature of the one divine reality among the various biblical voices, but also wrestles theologically with the relation between the reality testified to in the Bible and the living reality known and experienced as the exalted Christ in the present (Childs 86).

		Concrete situations are unfavourably contrasted with the precepts of the moral law, nor is it any longer maintained that, when all is said and done, the law of God is always the one true good of man".
		This witness makes an extraordinarily valuable contribution to warding off, in civil society and within the ecclesial communities themselves, a headlong plunge into the most dangerous crisis which can afflict man: the confusion between good and evil, which makes it impossible to build up and to preserve the moral order of individuals and communities.
		At least for many peoples, however, the present time is instead marked by a formidable challenge to undertake a "new evangelization", a proclamation of the Gospel which is always new and always the bearer of new things, an evangelization which must be "new in its ardour, methods and expression".
