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.

These types of people's roles and responsibilities are nearly the same in all the denominations and churches. Though some will differ at particular levels, some of the most common roles involve: maintaining coordination in the church, provision of guidance and ensuring smooth running of the administration, leading different ceremonies, leading prayers and providing encouragement to different groups of 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.

Some churches have set some specific procedures that you will have to comply with for you to be given a certain responsibility. These churches have different categories which help in serving the church. These will include the likes of bishops, priest, and deacons among others. Some of the churches with this kind of categories will include the likes of Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Lutheran churches, and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

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.

The organizational structure of the church has been changing over time. The structure that was found in the past periods has changed by a big margin. In the northern Europe, the clergy had different role from the role he currently has. He/She was mandated to carry out the different roles within the church. He/She had the ability to offer sacramental services in the church. Inheritance of the roles in the church was common, this is not the case currently.

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.

Ministers within the church are supposed to carry out various activities. These includes, officiating worship rituals and also leading some of the church ceremonies. These will include baptism, confirmation, anointing of the sick, and providing divine services among others.

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.
