Schedule for June & July 2010:


Priesthood of all Believers

by John Chong Ser Choon

Dates: June 27, July 3,11,18 2010

Synopsis:

The Brethren as a denomination holds as one of its key fundamentals the priesthood of all believers. But what does this term mean? Where and when did this term become part of Christian usage and understanding? Are there valid scriptural references to substantiate this teaching?

Other denominations that hold to this view include the Baptists and the Presbyterians. The Brethren movement especially was emphatic about having no distinction between the clergy (priesthood) and the laity (the general Christian populace).

This four part series introduces the key aspects of this teaching and its biblical basis. We will also do a brief survey to see how this teaching has developed since the Reformation (16th century). Lastly, we will examine how the Brethren applies this teaching in their church life: the strengths, weaknesses and potential dangers and abuses as translated into its form of brethren governance.

Time: 11.55am to 1.00pm
