The article “Do We Put a Full Stop?” describes the development of digitalization within the Christian church, which was significantly accelerated by the impact of the crisis caused by Covid-19, based on several surveys conducted in Europe, including Latvia. The Covid-19 crisis has necessitated the rapid development of various digital formats of proclaiming the Gospel. They attracted more people than the previous analogue worship services. However, a distinction should be made between streaming analogue formats and creating a specific digital offer characterized by digital belonging, participation, and interactive relationships. It is not clear at this moment whether these formats have a sustainable character or whether they are a transitory phenomenon. The digitalization of church work has also raised issues such as digital Holy Communion, the advantages of a network of small, horizontally structured communities versus large, hierarchically formed congregations and churches with a large analogue infrastructure. The development of the digital church alongside the proclamation in analogue formats is inevitable. The future of the church is hybrid – analogue and digital. Digital formats will develop alongside analogue without replacing them, while the analogue church will be enriched by the influence of public digital church platforms. The digital church is not an adjunct, but an important and essential part of the work of the congregation and the church.

Pentecostalism as a new wave of Christianity became more pronounced in 1970's and beyond in Nigeria. Since then scholars of Religion, History, Sociology and Political Science have shown keen interest in the study of the Churches known as Pentecostals because of the impact they have made on the society. The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was established by Pastor Josiah Akindayomi in Lagos,Nigeria in 1952. After his demise, he was succeeded by Pastor Adeboye Adejare Enock. The problem of study of this research was an examination of the expansion of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to North America, Caribbean and Canada. The missionary activities of the church could be regarded as a reversed mission in the propagation of Christianity by Africans in the Diaspora. The methodology adopted was historical. The primary and secondary sources of information were also germane in the research. The findings of the research indicated that the Redeemed Christian Church of God was founded in North America by Immigrants from Nigeria. Pastor Adeboye Enock Adejare had much influence on the Church within and outside the country because of his charisma. The Church has become a place of refuge for many immigrants. They are also contributing to the economy of the United States of America. However, the members of the Church were faced with some challenges, such as security scrutiny by the security agencies. In conclusion, the RCCGNA was a denomination that had been accepted and embraced by Nigerians and African immigrants in the United States of America.

The impact of the Shoah on Christian biblical and theological studies has been significant. The Christian doctrine of supersessionism, the replacement of the Jews and Judaism by the Christian church, has come in for particular criticism. Some more traditional scholars have either ignored these critiques or suggested that they were shaped not by critical study of the biblical text but by Christian guilt. It is also argued that the supersessionist argument is so thoroughly woven into the Christian story that extracting it would destroy the story itself. For some, it appears that there is no Christianity without supersessionism. This paper argues not only that this challenge to supersessionism was indeed the result of post-Shoah reflection, but that such challenges were appropriate and necessary. It does this in part by considering the case of German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer whose early citations of the “teachings of contempt” were challenged by the violence of Nazis and the clarity of their intent to destroy both the Jews and, eventually, the church. A non-supersessionist Christianity is both possible and necessary, not simply to preserve the relationship between Christians and Jews, but to enable both communities to engage in the work of “consummation” and “redemption” that God has entrusted to them.

AbstractThis study examines such data as are available regarding the impact of the crisis which confronted Jewish communities in many parts of the Roman Empire during the reign ofGaius Caligula (3 7-41 CE). Particular attention is given to Antioch on the Orontes, and to the Christian community which emerged there and was to become a major force both in the spread of Christianity and in the conversion of Gentiles to a hitherto Jewish movement. It is argued that the crisis was a major catalyst in changing the character of the Christian church in Antioch, so that it acquired an identity distinct from that of the Jewish community. The reappraisal of eschatological expectations occasioned by the crisis led to the conviction that Gentiles must be included in the Church before the parousia of Christ.

With the increase of urban population around the world, the massive construction of urban infrastructure and residential housing is hard to avoid. Urbanization has become a major factor that influences carbon emissions instead of a secondary factor due to more and more energy consumption and carbon emissions caused by the economic activities related to urbanization. China is in a stage of rapid development of urbanization, and urban construction has a huge potential demand for steel and iron, cement, and other high energy-consuming products, and thus the development of urbanization in the future will bring great challenge to the realization of China’s carbon emissions peak. Through the exploration and the analysis of the mechanism of urbanization’s impact on carbon emissions and the experience of urbanization development in developed countries, this paper summarizes the general evolving rules of carbon emissions peak along with the development of urbanization, defines the present stage of our country and briefly analyzes the arrival of China’s carbon emissions peak in the future. During the process of China’s new-type urbanization development in the future, we should make a scientific planning integrated with low-carbon concept from the demographic, social, economic, spatial structure, technical, and other dimensions, in order to reduce the impact of urbanization development on carbon emissions and realize the carbon emissions peak of China early.

The Interval of Hope: Present and Future - Grundtvig’s Interpretation of the Concept of Hopeby Christian HøjlundIn his earlier sermons (1810-15) Grundtvig interpreted the Christian hope in the orthodox Lutheran way: hope was bound to the words of the Bible and not until these were finally fulfilled and the last days entered upon would the hope of Christ’s kingdom and eternal life also be fulfilled. Until then, the pilgrim on earth must be satisfied with allowing himself to be guided by the star of hope before him. In other words, hope was a purely future concept. This was also the case with the rationalists. But with them, the fulfilment was further conditional upon man’s own reason and virtue.When Grundtvig took over a living in Copenhagen during Advent 1822 he began to do serious battle with this theology. By letting reason be the only accepted way to the hope in the Bible the rationalists had gained a monopoly on the right way to interpret the scriptures. They had taken hope from the Church and made it a false hope dependent on man’s own efforts.His attack on the rationalists partly dealt a blow to Grundtvig’s own view of the scriptures. The authenticity of hope could no longer rest on one or other interpretation of the scriptures. Only the living gospel, which had sounded from generation to generation in the Church, witnessed the truth of hope. Without a living gospel there is no hope. The Holy Spirit was the Church’s own interpreter of the scriptures and the living word preached in the church was the right basis for hope.The way to the loud and clear words from the Lord’s own mouth through baptism and communion was now open for Grundtvig. Now hope was revealed as the hope of Christ and changed its course towards God’s kingdom inasmuch as the Jesus child was reborn in the rebirth of baptism and prayed alongside the child when it faltered over the Lord’s prayer. There the hope of the eschatological meal, which is anticipted in Holy Communion, will be fulfilled and the glorified Christ will be one with the baptised.The birth of hope, its growth and fulfilment thus for Grundtvig became bound up with the order of service from baptism to communion. He thereby achieved two things, I) Hope acquired a new dimension. From being solely a comforter for the future it brought the impact of God’s kingdom into the present as well, with peace and justice and joy experienced in the loud and clear address of the church service, II) He avoided a mere visionary proclamation of hope, which would force God’s kingdom forward and make itself master over it. Hope was Christ Himself, both in its origin and in its fulfilment.But when in the 1830’s Grundtvig unreservedly emphasized the created human life as the prerequisite and the linking-point for God’s saving address, hope became really ridiculous and indefensible in the eyes of the world. This was precisely the case with Jesus* birth as a human baby. And this was how it must therefore be with the rebirth of baptism. There and only there could God’s Kingdom begin to grow. Thus the Christian Church, in Grundtvig’s opinion, had to give up its role as guardian, forcing people to believe. It had to stick to the naked word of the gospel. Yet at the same time it was Grundtvig’s conviction that wherever this word met together in free interplay with created man in his local, human context, the true hope could and would be born, and God’s Kingdom could grow on earth - invisible but real.
