12. Group 1 The 1 st Century Casey, Kirsten, Andrew & ? In the early Christian communities many types of ministries were present Men and women performed specific duties or a particular charism which means a person has a gift or talent for this role It became common to elect a leader to coordinate activities. Bishops became “overseers” Deacons or “servants” assisted the bishops From the beginning a SHARED MINISTRY

13. Group 2 2 nd Century to 6 th Century Amber, Brooke, Kathryn, Austin Church leadership became more specialized Ordination rites developed for each type of ministry By the end of the period priests and bishops gained more power Role of deacon was absorbed into the functions of the priest Priestly ministry became more associated with worldly power Bishops were delegated more responsibility to keep priests in order Priests acted like judges and counselors in the Roman government

14. Group 3 The 6 th Century to the Reformation The class of the clergy Emily, Val, Feda, Ma’Rae Bishops and priests became set apart from the rest of the church The priesthood began to mirror monastic life More sacraments became under the realm of the clergy. The laity become more passive observers in public worship

15. Group 4/Reforms with the Council of Trent Anthony I, Arianna, Will, Mikaela The priests and bishops were corrupt After the Council of Trent they had better educated clergy. Seminaries were established Bishops had to live in their diocese

16. Vatican II/1960s Service was stressed over power and authority Mutual decision making between clergy and community Shared responsibility between clergy and lay people..work together Permanent deacon role was revived and now open to married men

17. Broadening of Ministries of the Church Roles traditionally filled by priests are now being done by nuns, deacons, lay people. Does not dimish the role of the priest which is to teach, preside at the sacraments and govern in the name of Jesus.
