Critical Issues For Torah Communities

435 Words2 Pages

Through the study of Critical Issues for Torah Communities, two questions have come to my mind: How should the church body act and should we act as a Community or a Congregation? Many do not ask these questions because they do not know the difference between a community and a congregation. I did not understand the meaning of this question and how important my answer would be. So, what is the difference between a community and a congregation? According to Mr. Tim Hegg, in his article A Community or a Congregation, “a ‘congregation’ is primarily concerned with the present and near future; a ‘community’, while concerned with the present, always has a generational element at its core.” Are churches today following the community mindset or

    Throughout the Nazi regime in Europe from 1943 to 1945, many Jews opposed Hitler’s policies by engaging in acts of physical, mental and spiritual resistance. Many non-Jews also stood by the Jews in opposing Hitler’s government and his policies. These people helped many Jews escape ghettos and concentration camps. However, there were also many Jewish people who did not resist the Nazi’s and fell victim to their rule. Many non-Jews did not help the Jewish people and simply followed the regime by ignoring the atrocities that the Jews faced throughout the Nazi regime.

  • Religions: The Basics Summary Nye

    In the article “Religions: The Basics” by Malory Nye talks about female writers, inequality and the distinction between males and females. In the article it mentioned how the term Androcentricism assumes that the male’s perspective and experiences are the most vital and key point of reference. I agree with Mary Daly that the concept of belief in a male deity leads to profound sexual inequalities. The reason I agree with Mary Daly is due to the fact there is a lot of gender differences and that women are viewed as inferior, while men are more superior. It is surprising that in western culture, they can’t go a day without woman-male distinction.
