The Greek word ''diakonia'' means service or ministry and is related to ''diakonos'', a servant or minister. Other New Testament images include the worker, herald, shepherd, steward, elder and ambassador. These images emphasize responsibility entrusted by God rather than personal status.<br /> <br /> Christian ministry has several closely related dimensions:<br /> <br /> * '''Ministry to God''' through [[Christian worship|worship]], adoration, thanksgiving, obedience and [[prayer]].<br /> * '''Ministry of the Word''' through reading Scripture, [[preaching]], [[teaching]], [[Bible study]], [[evangelism]] and [[apologetics]].<br /> * '''Ministry to the Church''' through discipleship, pastoral oversight, mutual encouragement, administration, care and the use of [[spiritual gifts]].<br /> * '''Ministry to the world''' through witness, mission, peacemaking, relief of suffering, care for vulnerable people and the pursuit of justice and reconciliation.<br /> <br /> Ministry is therefore larger than the work of clergy, employment by a church or activity inside a church building. A Christian may minister through family life, ordinary work, hospitality, art, healthcare, education, public service, advocacy, digital communication or practical acts of love. At the same time, most Christian traditions formally set apart certain people for sustained leadership, teaching and sacramental or pastoral responsibilities.<br /> <br /> ==Biblical foundations==<br /> <br /> ===Old Testament background===<br /> <br /> The [[Old Testament]] presents service to God through the whole covenant people and through particular callings. [[Priest]]s served in worship and taught God's law; [[prophet]]s proclaimed God's word; kings were accountable to govern justly; judges, musicians, artisans and wise leaders served the community in different ways. [[Moses]], [[Samuel]], [[David]], [[Elijah]], [[Isaiah]], [[Jeremiah]] and others illustrate both the dignity and the cost of divine calling.<br /> <br /> Israel was called to be a holy people and a priestly kingdom (Exodus 19:5–6). The prophets repeatedly insisted that worship could not be separated from justice, mercy and faithfulness (Isaiah 1:11–17; Micah 6:8). These themes prepare for the New Testament vision of a people gathered in Christ and sent to bear witness to God's reign.<br /> <br /> ===New Testament foundations===<br /> <br /> The [[New Testament]] grounds ministry in the person and work of [[Jesus Christ]]. Jesus called disciples to follow him, announced the [[Kingdom of God]], taught with authority, healed the sick, welcomed outsiders, confronted hypocrisy, forgave sins and gave his life for others. After his [[resurrection of Jesus|resurrection]], he commissioned his followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8).<br /> <br /> The book of [[Acts of the Apostles|Acts]] describes a Spirit-empowered Church devoted to apostolic teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer (Acts 2:42–47). The [[Paul the Apostle|apostle Paul]] describes varied gifts and ministries given for the common good (Romans 12:3–8; 1 Corinthians 12:4–27) and leaders given to equip the saints for the work of ministry and the building up of Christ's body (Ephesians 4:11–16).<br /> <br /> <div style="background:#fffaf0;border:1px solid #dec98f;border-radius:8px;padding:1em 1.2em;margin:1em 0;"><br /> <div style="font-size:130%;font-weight:bold;color:#6d521e;">Key biblical themes</div><br /> {| style="width:100%;background:transparent;"<br /> ! style="text-align:left;width:25%;" | Theme<br /> ! style="text-align:left;width:39%;" | Meaning for ministry<br /> ! style="text-align:left;" | Representative passages<br /> |-<br /> | '''Call''' || God takes the initiative and calls people to faithful service. || Exodus 3:1–12; Isaiah 6:1–8; Mark 1:16–20<br /> |-<br /> | '''Servanthood''' || Christian authority follows the self-giving pattern of Christ. || Mark 10:42–45; John 13:1–17; Philippians 2:5–11<br /> |-<br /> | '''Gift''' || The Spirit gives diverse abilities for the common good. || Romans 12:3–8; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; 1 Peter 4:10–11<br /> |-<br /> | '''Body''' || No member has every gift; ministry is interdependent. || 1 Corinthians 12:12–27; Ephesians 4:15–16<br /> |-<br /> | '''Witness''' || The Church proclaims Christ in word, life and suffering. || Matthew 5:13–16; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15–16<br /> |-<br /> | '''Stewardship''' || Ministers are accountable for what God entrusts to them. || Luke 12:42–48; 1 Corinthians 4:1–5; 1 Peter 5:1–4<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> ==The ministry of Jesus Christ==<br /> <br /> Jesus is the source, content and model of Christian ministry. The Gospels portray his ministry as proclamation, teaching, healing, deliverance, compassion, table fellowship, prayer, prophetic challenge and the formation of disciples. He announced good news to the poor and freedom for the oppressed (Luke 4:16–21), described himself as the [[Good Shepherd]] (John 10:1–18), washed his disciples' feet (John 13:1–17) and taught that the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).<br /> <br /> The [[crucifixion of Jesus]] reveals ministry as self-giving love, while the [[resurrection of Jesus]] establishes Christian hope and mission. The risen and ascended Christ continues his work through the [[Holy Spirit]] and the Church. Christian ministry is consequently not an attempt to replace Christ but participation in his continuing mission and dependence upon his grace.<br /> <br /> ==The ministry of the whole Church==<br /> <br /> The Church is a worshipping, witnessing and serving community. The New Testament teaches that all believers belong to the [[Body of Christ]] and receive gifts for mutual service. The doctrine commonly called the [[priesthood of all believers]] stresses the access of all Christians to God through Christ and their shared calling to prayer, witness, holiness and service.<br /> <br /> This shared ministry does not imply that every Christian has the same task or authority. Gifts differ, callings differ and communities need accountable leadership. Healthy ministry recognizes both truths: every member has a contribution, and particular leaders are appointed to equip, guide and protect the community.<br /> <br /> ===Women and men in ministry===<br /> <br /> Women and men served prominently in the biblical story and in the history of Christianity. The New Testament names women such as [[Mary Magdalene]], [[Priscilla]], [[Phoebe]] and [[Lydia]] as witnesses, teachers, patrons or servants of the Church. Christian traditions agree that women possess spiritual gifts and are essential to the Church's mission, but differ over whether particular ordained offices are open to women. An encyclopedia treatment should describe [[women in Christianity|these interpretations]] accurately, distinguish official denominational positions from individual opinion and avoid caricature.<br /> <br /> ==Ordered and recognized ministries==<br /> <br /> The New Testament refers to [[apostle]]s, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, teachers, [[elder]]s, overseers or [[bishop]]s, and [[deacon]]s. The precise relationship between these roles developed over time and is understood differently among Christian traditions.<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"<br /> ! style="background:#214f43;color:white;width:20%;" | Ministry or office<br /> ! style="background:#214f43;color:white;width:35%;" | Typical responsibilities<br /> ! style="background:#214f43;color:white;" | Related topics<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Pastor]] / shepherd''' || Preaching, teaching, spiritual care, leadership and equipping the congregation. || [[Pastoral care]], [[Sermon]], [[Church leadership]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Priest]] / presbyter''' || Word, sacrament, pastoral oversight and worship, especially in Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican traditions. || [[Ordination]], [[Eucharist]], [[Liturgy]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Bishop]] / overseer''' || Oversight of churches, clergy, doctrine, unity and mission; scope differs by tradition. || [[Episcopal polity]], [[Apostolic succession]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Elder]]''' || Spiritual oversight, teaching, governance and pastoral care, especially in Presbyterian and congregational settings. || [[Presbyterian polity]], [[Church government]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Deacon]]''' || Ministries of service, mercy, administration and sometimes liturgical or teaching responsibilities. || [[Diaconate]], [[Acts 6]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Evangelist]] / missionary''' || Proclaiming the gospel, forming disciples, planting churches and crossing cultural boundaries. || [[Evangelism]], [[Missionary]], [[Church planting]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Chaplain''' || Spiritual and pastoral care in hospitals, armed forces, prisons, schools, workplaces or other institutions. || [[Chaplaincy]], [[Hospital chaplain]], [[Prison ministry]]<br /> |-<br /> | '''Lay minister''' || Authorized or informal service by a Christian who is not ordained. || [[Laity]], [[Spiritual gifts]], [[Small group]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Titles should not be assumed to have identical meanings in every church.

Traditions differ concerning the number and theology of the sacraments, who may preside, and the form of worship. Despite these differences, Christian worship is directed to the Triune God and is intended to form the Church for faithful life and mission.<br /> <br /> ===Evangelism, mission and discipleship===<br /> <br /> [[Evangelism]] is the communication of the good news of Jesus Christ and an invitation to repentance, faith and discipleship. [[Christian missions|Mission]] is broader: it includes crossing cultural and geographic boundaries, forming Christian communities, translating Scripture, educating leaders and serving human need. [[Discipleship]] aims at lifelong transformation into Christlikeness, not merely the transfer of information or the securing of a decision.<br /> <br /> Christian mission should respect the dignity and freedom of every person. Coercion, manipulation, exploitation of material need and deceptive methods contradict the character of the gospel. Cross-cultural workers require humility, language learning, cultural listening, partnership with local Christians and awareness of the history of colonialism.<br /> <br /> ===Pastoral care and mercy===<br /> <br /> Pastoral care accompanies people through joy, suffering, decision, illness, conflict, grief and death. It may involve listening, prayer, Scripture, practical help, spiritual counsel and referral to qualified professionals. Ministers should recognize the limits of their competence: serious mental illness, risk of self-harm, abuse, medical emergencies and legal concerns may require immediate involvement of clinicians, safeguarding officers or public authorities.<br /> <br /> The Church's ministries of mercy include care for people in poverty, refugees, prisoners, people with disabilities, older adults, children and those affected by disaster or discrimination. Christian service joins compassionate action with respect for the agency of the people being served.<br /> <br /> ===Digital and media ministry===<br /> <br /> [[Christianity and the Internet|Digital ministry]], [[Christian radio]], television, podcasts, publishing, music and social media can extend teaching, worship and pastoral connection. They can also amplify error, personality cults, outrage and misinformation. Media ministers should verify claims, protect privacy, obtain permission for testimonies and images, respect copyright, disclose financial relationships and avoid presenting online engagement as a complete substitute for embodied Christian community.<br /> <br /> ==Calling, formation and discernment==<br /> <br /> Christians often use the word [[Vocation|calling]] for God's summons to faithfulness in a particular form of life or service. A perceived call to ministry normally requires testing rather than private certainty alone.<br /> <br /> <div style="background:#f4faf7;border-left:5px solid #286553;border-radius:7px;padding:1em 1.2em;margin:1em 0;"><br /> '''Discernment commonly considers:'''<br /> <br /> # conformity to Scripture and the character of Christ;<br /> # evidence of spiritual maturity and the [[fruit of the Spirit]];<br /> # gifts appropriate to the proposed ministry;<br /> # affirmation by a local church and mature Christians;<br /> # the needs of the community and opportunities for service;<br /> # willingness to receive training, correction and supervision;<br /> # sustainable responsibilities toward family, health and livelihood.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <br /> Preparation varies by role and tradition. It may include mentoring, supervised ministry, biblical and theological study, denominational formation, a seminary degree, clinical pastoral education, professional credentials and [[ordination]]. Formation should cultivate knowledge, practical competence, emotional maturity, prayer, humility, cultural understanding and ethical judgment. Education alone does not establish a call, but zeal without knowledge and accountability can cause serious harm.<br /> <br /> ==Character, ethics and safeguarding==<br /> <br /> The New Testament places great weight on the character of leaders (1 Timothy 3:1–13; Titus 1:5–9; 1 Peter 5:1–4). Public gifting does not excuse private unfaithfulness. Christian ministry should demonstrate truthfulness, humility, sexual integrity, financial honesty, hospitality, self-control, justice and concern for the weak.<br /> <br /> ===Power and accountability===<br /> <br /> Ministers often receive spiritual trust and access to people during vulnerable moments. This creates a power imbalance even when no formal authority is claimed. Healthy churches establish plural oversight, transparent decisions, financial controls, complaints procedures, external review and meaningful consequences for misconduct. Appeals to divine calling, forgiveness, loyalty or institutional reputation must never be used to silence legitimate concerns.<br /> <br /> ===Safeguarding===<br /> <br /> [[Safeguarding]] is the responsibility to protect children and vulnerable adults from abuse, exploitation and neglect. Ministry organizations should use appropriate screening, codes of conduct, training, safe-environment procedures, documented reporting routes and compliance with applicable law. Allegations of abuse should not be managed solely as private spiritual matters. Immediate safety, pastoral support for those harmed, preservation of evidence and reporting to the proper authorities take priority over protecting a leader or institution.<br /> <br /> ===Confidentiality and boundaries===<br /> <br /> Pastoral confidentiality encourages honest conversation but is not always absolute. Limits should be explained in advance, especially when there is risk of serious harm, abuse or a legal duty to report. Ministers should maintain appropriate emotional, sexual, financial, digital and physical boundaries. Dual relationships and conflicts of interest require careful judgment and supervision.<br /> <br /> ==Challenges and healthy practice==<br /> <br /> Christian ministers may face overwork, loneliness, unrealistic expectations, conflict, secondary trauma, financial pressure and [[Burnout|burnout]]. Ministry can also become distorted by celebrity culture, authoritarian leadership, institutional competition, theological imbalance or the pursuit of numerical success.<br /> <br /> Healthy patterns include:<br /> <br /> * sustained [[prayer]], Scripture reading and participation in worship;<br /> * shared leadership and clear accountability;<br /> * regular rest, [[Sabbath]] and realistic workload boundaries;<br /> * peer friendship, mentoring and spiritual direction;<br /> * continuing theological and professional education;<br /> * fair compensation and responsible stewardship;<br /> * attention to physical and mental health;<br /> * referral to qualified professionals when needs exceed one's competence;<br /> * evaluation by faithfulness, maturity and long-term fruit rather than visibility alone.<br /> <br /> Failure in ministry should be addressed truthfully. Repentance and forgiveness are central Christian convictions, but forgiveness does not erase consequences, automatically restore trust or guarantee return to leadership. Restoration to fellowship, restoration of reputation and restoration to office are related but distinct questions.<br /> <br /> ==Christian traditions==<br /> <br /> All major Christian traditions affirm that ministry belongs to the mission of the Church, but they organize and interpret it differently.<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"<br /> ! style="background:#214f43;color:white;width:22%;" | Tradition<br /> ! style="background:#214f43;color:white;" | Characteristic emphases<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]]''' || Holy orders of bishop, priest and deacon; sacramental ministry; communion with the bishop and the pope; extensive ministries by religious orders and laypeople.<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]]''' || Bishop, presbyter and deacon within apostolic succession; ministry rooted in the Divine Liturgy, Holy Tradition and the sacramental life of the Church.<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Anglicanism|Anglican]]''' || Historic threefold order of bishop, priest and deacon, together with diverse evangelical, catholic and charismatic expressions and extensive lay ministry.<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] and [[Reformed Christianity|Reformed]]''' || Centrality of the preached Word and sacraments; ordained pastoral ministry; strong accounts of vocation and the ministry of the baptized; polity varies.<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Baptist]] and free-church''' || Authority of the local congregation, believer's baptism, preaching, evangelism and mission; pastors, elders and deacons are ordered in different ways.<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Methodism|Methodist]]''' || Connectional ministry, preaching, disciplined discipleship, lay participation, holiness and social concern; ordained and licensed ministries vary by denomination.<br /> |-<br /> | '''[[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] and [[Charismatic Christianity|charismatic]]''' || Empowerment by the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, evangelism, healing prayer, church planting and participatory worship.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> These descriptions identify broad tendencies rather than uniform rules.

<p>Prab: </p> <hr /> <div>{{box | text=This page outlines the Statement of Faith for WikiChristian. To see how this fits with editing WikiChristian articles see [[Wikichristian:Page Layout|WikiChristian's Page Layout]] help page.}}<br /> {{rtoc}}<br /> ==God and the Trinity==<br /> <br /> There is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.<br /> <br /> God is simultaneously immanent and removed. He is omnipotent: He created everything that is and there is nothing which, by strength, He could not destroy. He is omniscient: He is everywhere, observing everything and is always able to intervene. He is all-knowing: His knowledge pierces every soul. He is holy: unable and unwilling to sin. God is mysterious: His power, knowledge, wisdom, holiness, and infinite Being transcends human understanding.<br /> <br /> However, He is love: He lay down His incarnate life for humankind. He is historical: He intervened on earth for our betterment. <br /> <br /> ==Jesus==<br /> <br /> Jesus Christ is fully God. Jesus is the Son of God, the mystery of God dwelling in flesh as a human. His conception was of the Holy Spirit and he was born of the virgin Mary. He lived a holy life without sin, and he died upon the Cross as the substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world. He arose from the dead and ascended into heaven from where he will return with power and glory. <br /> <br /> ==The Bible==<br /> <br /> The Bible is the authoritative word of God.<br /> <br /> The Bible was written by men with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and makes people "wise for salvation" and is "useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." Its contents are every book of the Protestant canon (at least). Every verse is of Truth. <br /> <br /> It must be understood in regards to the context of its human writers. Therefore, some verses are literal, some are figurative, some depend on culture, some on human personality. The Bible was written as a story of God's redemption of us and our response. Therefore, human's words and deeds are sometimes ideal, sometimes merely historical.<br /> <br /> ==The Believer==<br /> <br /> All are sinners and forgiveness of sins and justification are through repentance of sins and faith in Jesus Christ.<br /> <br /> God calls us to live holy lives. <br /> <br /> The Holy Spirit dwells in all God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him. <br /> <br /> There will be a bodily resurrection with eternal life for the righteous - those who have accepted Christ, and eternal separation from God for the unrighteous.<br /> <br /> ==Truth==<br /> <br /> Truth comes from many sources: the Bible, reason, experience, emotions, tradition, Creation, and people. However, the interpretation of these sources is always subject to human imperfection. God requires humility in understanding His Truth. "Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." ([[Proverbs 9:10]])<br /> <br /> {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -> [[Christian literature, art, music and media]] -> [[Christianity and the Internet]] -> [[Christian wikis]] -> [[Project:About|WikiChristian]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:WikiChristian Philosophy]]<br /> [[Category:WikiChristian]]</div>

<p>Prab: </p> <hr /> <div>Hi,<br /> <br /> I am a Christian believer by faith, physician practicing Internal Medicine and sleep medicine by profession located in Philadelphia, PA, USA. I am technology enthusiast, having taught myself many of the softwares involved in web building. Having started successful websites like [https://www.wikimd.com WikiMD.com], [http://www.believerscafe.com Believerscafe] and, [http://www.w8md.com W8MD.com], I strongly believe that a wiki is an ideal tool for people to work together on the internet to create and organize information. <br /> <br /> I started this website, along with some friends like [[User:Graham grove|Dr. Graham Grove]] from Australia, in order to build an [[open source]] [[Christian Encyclopedia]]. Our vision is to build a free Christian Encyclopedia, public domain wiki and Bible resource and a wiki Christian community representing the contemporary church thinking and philosophy.<br /> <br /> While there are many wiki's for secular information, we felt a need for a dedicated [[Christian]] wiki that will not only serve as a wiki community, but also serves as a source for information and an encyclopedia on [[Christianity]]. <br /> <br /> I strongly believe that there is strength in togetherness/unity and as a group, we can help build a free Christian Encyclopedia that represents the contemporary concepts in Christian [[Theology]] and Faith. You can reach me at ptumpati at gmail dot com. May God bless you all. <br /> <br /> Read a note from me in the [[Wikichristian.org:About|About]] page.<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> '''Declaration'''<br /> <br /> I declare that I do not have any commercial interest in this project and would keep the website not-for-profit. We may latter register it as a [[not for profit organization]], as we grow. If you would like to share your views on improving this project, please drop me a line at my email id or leave the message in the talk page here. If you are a committed Christian interested in becoming a wiki sysop, you may contact us for information on how to become a [[sysop]]. <br /> <br /> I strongly believe that Christians have to rise up and stand for the important issues in the society in a day and age where truth is blurred and falsehood and sin are exaulted. WikiChristian would serve as a forum to represent the current concepts and trends in [[Christian]] Community the world over and will serve as a source of information, fellowship and inspiration. As this is a collaborative effort, it can only be made possible by participation from users like you! <br /> <br /> Remember that "when you cast your bread on the waters with faith, it will return one day back to you with butter on top of it". May God Bless you for your hard work.<br /> <br /> May God Bless you richly!<br /> Prab R Tumpati, MD<br /> <br /> ''You can reach me at ptumpati at gmail dot com.''<br /> <br /> Also visit the WikiChristian [[Wikichristian.org:About|About]] page.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> I have been a bit busy with my rotations in the hospital but I am spending some time adding some links in the web directory. I think, wikiChristian should create an open source wiki directory of sites and links to the cream of the Christian web with useful reviews on websites so that it would help all of us. We do not have to reinvent the wheel by trying to write on things that are already written a lot about on the itnernet. Not to mean we are changing our focus from being an encyclopedia, but I think an encyclopedia is enhanced if it can lead to other sources of information on any given item or topic. <br /> <br /> Please share your views and add your 2 cents in building the best open source Christian web site directory. I am also spending some time in building a list of the best medical websites and resources in our other wiki site - [[https://www.wikimd.com wikimd.com]. I actually spend some time watching all the free CME videos on the internet. We can probabably do the same on wikichristian by compiling a list of [[free christian videos and webcasts]].<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> WikiChristian is growing everyday and so are the needs! We are looking for people that can keep the wiki organized by keeping an eye on dead end pages, by using proper categories, by creating appropriate templates and to come up with unique Christian collaborative project ideas! In order to help organize the wiki, please look at the special pages and visit the different pages there so you know what can be done to help improve some of the pages. Dead end pages are those that do not have a single wiki link! One easy way of avoiding the dead end pages is to create categories and templates and use them at the bottom so that the pages do not become dead end pages.<br /> <br /> March 22, 2005.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> ==Reply to sysop offer==<br /> I'd be most pleased to accept. :) It's one side of wiki's that I have not yet had the privilege of experiencing. --[[User:Mustaphile|Mustaphile]] 16:55, 6 May 2005 (PDT)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> ==New Logo==<br /> <br /> Created a new logo for wikichristian with a globe in the background, the Holy Bible in the center, Wikichristian at the top and The Free Encyclopedia in the bottom.
