In the belief of different religion some people are chosen to provide guidance by partaking in different spiritual functions. The chosen people are supposed to offer spiritual guidance to the congregation or the gathered group of people. Some of the functions that they perform will include leading services like baptism, wedding, and so on while still 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.
In order for you to attain the position of being a minister in different churches, you will have to have attained a certain level of qualification. Different denomination will place emphasis on different levels of qualifications. Some require certain level of educational qualification e. G. Seminary education or theological qualification. Some will pay close attention to the natural gifts of a person. This too may differentiate who is to give which role but the most important factor is that the person must have a calling.
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 hierarchical order is as follows. The bishop usually offers sacraments and is also involved in the governing of the church, priest usually administer sacraments and also assist in leading the congregation. They don't have the ability to consecrate buildings or ordain clergy. Deacons are involved in providing assistance to the church; they have no authority to offer a sacramental role in the church.
The different religions over time have changed in the structure of management and also how they conduct their daily routines. Before reforms in the Northern Europe area, the clergy was the person with most authority to carry out different roles in the church. Currently this is not the case. At some point in time, hereditary roles in different churches was possible. This is not the case as of now.
Countries in the part of the Swedish empire, including Finland and Baltic have a more preserved catholic tradition. This is not the same with countries in different regions within the world. Due to their resistance to reforms, the roles of priest, bishops and deacons are clearly outline.
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.
There has been involvement of new groups of people in the management of the present church. This include pastors, chaplain, and also padres. Pastors are mandated with the responsibility of preaching the gospel. Chaplain and padres will offer guidance to different groups of congregation including the military and some specific groups. There has also been the emergence of different types of denominations; this will include the likes of Youth ministry, campus ministry and married couple ministry among others.
