Kehadiran gereja

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas
Kebanyakan umat Kristen menghadiri pelayanan gereja pada Malam Natal, sebuah upacara yang merayakan kelahiran Yesus.[1]

Kehadiran gereja adalah sebuah praktek keagamaan utama bagi kebanyakan umat Kristen. Beberapa denominasi Kristen, seperti Gereja Katolik, mewajibkan kehadiran gereja pada Hari Tuhan (Minggu). Pengakuan Iman Westminster diadakan oleh Gereja-gereja Reformasi dan mengajarkan Sabatarianisme hari pertama,[2] sehingga memenuhi kewajiban ibadah publik sesuai dengan Sepuluh Perintah Allah.[3]

It is quite normal to go to church on Christmas Eve, and many people like to celebrate a christening or wedding in church. The Church is especially important at the end of a life; by far the majority of funerals are still conducted in a church by a minister.

Following the formulation of the Westminster Confession, fully fledged Sabbatarianism quickly took root too, being embodied in an Act of 1661, then spreading northwards and westwards as the Highlands were opened up after the '46, during which time the doctrine lost its original force and vigour in the Lowlands.

The Westminster Confession urges a strict observance of the Lord's Day as a day of rest and worship, away from "works, words, and thoughts" about "worldly employments and recreations." The whole time is to be devoted to "public and private exercises of [God's) worship, and in duties of necessity and mercy" (BC 6.119). In the United States, many "blue laws" relating to Sunday originated from this general prescription observed by American Puritans of the Reformed tradition.
