For an organization or church to run effectively, different groups of people should be available. The different groups of people undertake offering of spiritual guidance to the congregation. Those involved are responsible for offering guidance in various ceremonies including baptism, wedding, and others. Their most important role is providing guidance.
The roles and responsibility of these people will vary but also match in some aspects. Some of the roles and responsibility of the church ministers will include: ensuring coordination within their church, providing guidance and support in the general administration services, conducting different ceremonies, participating in welfare and community service, conducting prayers while providing encouragement among others.
Different denominations have different training and qualification levels for one to be named a minister. A sense of calling is mostly a requirement for all those who want to engage in providing ministerial services. Some denominations will emphasize on natural gifts while others will emphasize on advance qualification. This may include tertiary education from either a seminary, university or a theological college.
In most of the churches including the likes of Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, among others, emphasize on only ordained clergy when it come to conducting church matters. Even at points where politics is concerned, they will only use the ordained people/personnel/clergy. These churches have the following people: Bishop, Priest and deacons.
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 organizational structure of the church has been changing over time. The structure that was found in the past periods has changed by a big margin. In the northern Europe, the clergy had different role from the role he currently has. He/She was mandated to carry out the different roles within the church. He/She had the ability to offer sacramental services in the church. Inheritance of the roles in the church was common, this is not the case currently.
The likes of the Swedish's empire including Finland have preserved the catholic manner in a more resilient form. Only small aspects have changed. This will prove how the different role of clergy in different parts of the world has changed when compared to other regions.
The different orders/ministers in the church have from tradition had the responsibility of officiating over acts of worship, rituals, and ceremonies. Some of the important ceremonies which they conduct include baptism, confirmation, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and divine services among others. Over time, different groups of people have been incorporated into the church. This will include the like of pastors.
This term is usually used to refer to a shepherd. In the New Testament, it has been used severally to refer to the church workers. Chaplains and padres have also been included in the modern period. This term is used to refer to a minister who has a different target group compared to the parish congregation. The term padre is a Spanish term which is used to refer to a military chaplain. There has also been the emergence of different types of ministries in non-denominational churches. This includes the likes of youth ministry, campus ministry, and married couple ministry among other ministries.
