Why It Is Important To Go For Spiritual Guidance In Life

By Lelia Hall


For an organization or church to run effectively, different groups of people should be available. The different groups of people undertake offering of spiritual guidance to the congregation. Those involved are responsible for offering guidance in various ceremonies including baptism, wedding, and others. Their most important role is providing guidance.

Different religion and churches have assigned these people with different responsibilities. These responsibilities across a specific religion will match but also differ in some ways. Some of the role and responsibilities assigned to these groups of people will include, spearheading coordination in different church activities, ensuring that administrative functions are running smoothly; providing necessary guidance and coordination support, being involved in community services, being the pillar to lead in prayers while providing guidance and support to people.

To be anointed or appointed as a minister, you will have to have attained the specific qualification of the different denominations. Some of the denominations will pay close attention to the advanced qualifications one is supposed to achieve while others will mostly consider the natural gifts one possesses. An important point to note is that the most important factor in all the denominations and churches are the fact that you must have a calling to partake in the different guidance within the church.

In most of the churches including the likes of Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, among others, emphasize on only ordained clergy when it come to conducting church matters. Even at points where politics is concerned, they will only use the ordained people/personnel/clergy. These churches have the following people: Bishop, Priest and deacons.

The bishop is involved in administering sacraments and also governing the church. Priest is involved in administering sacraments and also leading the congregation, they usually have no authority to ordain clergy or consecrate buildings. Deacons are mostly involved in providing assistance in the church. They cannot play a sacramental role.

There have been changes within the management of the church. The structures involved in the management have over time changed. In northern Europe, clergy was mandated to carry out some of the functions that are now carried out by the bishops and also the priest. There was also the allocation of hereditary positions within the church. Most of these scenarios have changed over time.

The likes of the Swedish's empire including Finland have preserved the catholic manner in a more resilient form. Only small aspects have changed. This will prove how the different role of clergy in different parts of the world has changed when compared to other regions.

The church is usually mandated to carry out some of the very important ceremonies. This includes the likes of baptism, confirmation, anointing the sick, holy order, and divine services. The ministers in the churches are the ones who will be mandated to carry out the different functions.

With the changing world, different groups of people have been incorporated into the church; these groups of people will include the likes of pastors, chaplains, and padres. They are mandated to carry out various activities within the church. The emergence of different types of ministries has been witnessed and married. This includes the likes of youth ministry, campus ministry and married ministry among others.
