Christian Mentorship for Embracement of the Sacrament of Marriage in Ogembo Town Catholic Church, Kenya

This study focuses on the role of Christian mentorship in embracing the sacrament of matrimony in Ogembo Town Catholic Church. The study argues that today, in the church membership, there is a serious inconsideration of the institution of marriage as a sacrament to a height that some even opt to substitute it with temporary arrangements (cohabiting) for living together without officially being married in church. Such temporary arrangements can be dissolved whenever either party desires. Many Christians seem to have lost commitment to conducting church marriages. A triangle theory of love and social capital theory was used to enucleate the arguments of the paper. The target population of the study was 400 participants. However, the actual sample size of 120 participants (comprising 2 priests, 4 catechists, 6 married Christian couples, 6 Christian counselors, 93 cohabiting Christians, and 15 local church leaders from all the 15 local churches that compose Ogembo Town Catholic Church) was used to collect data using a questionnaire, interview schedules, and Focused Group Discussions. The study found that: The response of young Catholic Christian couples to mentorship marriage programs was not appealing to many of them, Christian role models are wanted in the church such that the young couples have no admirable lived experience of role models that encourage them to regularize their marriage in church The study recommended that the Catholic Church should emphasize a lived marriage faith that is not only for those married but also for future church marriages; those leading marriage programs to be people of real marriage sacramental life.

CIVIL GUARANTEE OF THE CHURCH'S MARRIAGE

Marriage has existed as a method of regulating relations since the beginning of humanity. In Latvia, marriage can be concluded at a registry office or by the clergy. During the study it was found out that concluding a marriage in church and civil marriage is contradictory. It is possible that a married couple that concluded their marriage in church get divorced in accordance with the civil law, but in accordance with the canon law they are still married.

Marriage after divorce: The challenge for the church of England

The decision of the Church of England to permit the further marriage in church of people who have been previously divorced was taken after much reflection and debate. This paper offers a brief outline of the key issues that had to be faced, addressing questions arising from New Testament material, the tradition and context of the Church of England itself, and ways that doctrine has been formulated and has then evolved. In particular the question of the sacramentality of marriage is considered, because it is those with a ‘high’ view of marriage as sacrament who adopt the view that marriages cannot be dissolved. Some discussion is included regarding Anglican theological method, whereby scripture, tradition, reason and experience are brought to bear on the discernment of God's will for the Church. I conclude that recent changes allowing further marriage do not equate to encouraging divorce.

The Church of England and the Law of Divorce since 1837: Marriage Discipline, Ecclesiastical Law and the Establishment

Ever since Henry VIII, the law of marriage has occupied a special place in the relationship between the Church of England and the state. Changes made to the law since 1857 have raised far-reaching and difficult questions about the nature of this relationship, involving the status of canon law. Marriage in church has remained, perhaps even more than the other rites of passage, an essential point at which the Church of England still touches the lives of great numbers of the otherwise unchurched, and these questions have thus impinged on the practical reality of the Church's work.
