T‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍HIS PAPER NEEDS TO BE 1,500 WORDS NO FORMAL REFERENCES PLEASE INCLUDE BIBLIOGRAPHY You have been talking about Christian faith with a friend. (S)he has emailed you to say she wants to live as a follower of Jesus. Then she asks, ‘Do I have to go to church if I want to be a Christian?’ Write an email back, answering her question. Your email should show what you understand the church to be and do by reference to the Bible and to Christian doctrine. This really can be an email which begins ‘Dear XXX’, so it doesn’t have to appear like an essay at all. It doesn’t need formal references – but you could say as part of the email, ‘I have been reading a book called YYY, which was written by ZZZ, and in it I found this quotation: ‘……’. If you do that, it would still add greatly to the quality of your assignment if you add a bibliography at the end so that the marker can see what you have read as part of your study. First of all, here is what not‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ to do: Don’t write, ‘Oh you would love my church because it’s got incense and really great music and home-made cake.’ All those things may be true, but if you read the question carefully you will see that it is asking for you to give a more theoretical answer. Rather, this is what you should do: Use what you leant in session five to explain what the church is and does. The church isn’t a building (in spite of the way we describe churches in conversation). So what is it? How does the Bible describe the activities of the church? In what way might that be enriching for someone who wants to be a follower of Jesus? What do the creeds say that the marks of a church are (and what does that mean)? What does a church do – in sacraments, in mission, as a community together? Remember that your friend has asked you a question, so you need to answer it. There is no definite right or wrong answer to that question that every Christian in the world will‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ agree on. So answer it sensitively.
