Confirmation and Commitment to Christian Service

Introduction

The Church has a special predilection for the term and office of pastor. Among Protestants this is the generic name of all the clergy. Church lives in relation to the world, it saw within itself. And it's the same term that is used to tell the two complementary realities. This is a very telling sign of any true ecclesiology.

The church should be like an extended family or tribal family that provides the requirements for a harmonious growth of each family and also for those without family. The same dynamic of the life of the church in its organization of programs and activities should put the emphasis on "the church as a family" with time, meals, excursions, holidays and all kinds of meetings and gatherings that enable an intimate communion and mutual aid of all with all or at least made possible with the neediest .
