Leadership and church identity
2018
This article discusses how the theological-spiritual dimension, which has to do with the specific identity of the church, has implications for and partly determines the application of leadership theories and tools in the local church. The article also examines how leadership research can provide the means to realize a church’s theological or spiritual identity or its true nature. This implies a two-directional relationship between theology and leadership. On the one hand, theology should influence how churches are led, and on the other hand, leadership may facilitate the realization of the theological-spiritual dimension.
 There are a number of important articles on the theology of lea…
Rozwód w prawie Polskiego Autokefalicznego Kościoła Prawosławnego: ewolucja instytucji w XX wieku

Christian religions are differ significantly in their approach to termination of marriage by means of divorce. The Orthodox Church, accepting the sacramental character of marriage, allows for divorce and agrees for marrying again. An important role in shaping of religious norms is played by the autocephalous system within the Church. In accordance with it, the church canons based on the dogmas of the Orthodox Church must be interpreted with respect to the situation of the local church and with respect to the particular point in history. The legal perspective determined in that way indicates the sensitivity of the Church for social changes, which also influence the way termination of marriag…
How Can Strategic Leadership be Applied to the Development of the Local Church? A Discussion of Content and Process
2019
Whether you want to or not, strategies are formed. Increased awareness of strategic choices increases the chances that one arrives where one intends to. This is probably an important reason why some local churches work to develop and implement strategies. At the same time, the discussion in this article shows that there is very little research literature that provides a guide to how strategic leadership can be done in a good way in a local church. In this article, it is argued that the strategic leadership ideas developed in businesses can be used in the local church, taking into account the church’s peculiarities. The church’s theological-spiritual dimension must provide guidelines on how …
Historia Kościoła – jedną z dróg rozwoju wiary
2022
Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie pogłębionej refleksji nad historią Kościoła. Wielu ludzi sądzi, że przeszłość niewiele może ich nauczyć w kwestii życia i wiary. Jednak wszystko, co wyjaśnia wiarę i poszerza jej horyzont, ma wpływ na nasze sądy dotyczące teraźniejszości. Historia jest przecież nauczycielką i wychowawczynią życia; ma nam dostarczać rzetelnej wiedzy o rodzinie, ojczyźnie, Kościele, zarówno o wydarzeniach zwycięskich, jak i tych trudnych, jednak prawdziwych, bo i one wpływają na naszą rzeczywistość. Kto nie posiada żadnej wiedzy o przeszłości, jest dzieckiem, a w ścisłym znaczeniu tego słowa – człowiekiem niedojrzałym. Kto nie zna swoich korzeni, gubi swoją tożsamość i godność. P…
Trynitarny wymiar komunijnej struktury Kościoła w ujęciu Josepha Ratzingera - Benedykta XVI
2015
The Church is a community that has its origin in God. He himself, being the relationship of Three Persons since the beginning of the world calls people to a relationship with him. This community has its fulfillment in the community initiated by the apostles, who following in the mission of Christ are preaching salvation in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The church, besides its spiritual, divine origin also has a temporal dimension expressed in its structure of the local Churches, hierarchy or the implemented mission. Even what in Church is most external and human has its trinitarian representation. The whole Church with all its elements is immersed in the trinitarian r…
