Hi everyone and welcome to today's revision lesson on Christian practises.

My name is Mrs Day, and I will be taking you through some of the key content that we have learned in Christian practises.

So for this lesson what you need is a pen or a pencil, some paper to write on and a different coloured pen to Mark your work.

If you don't have any of this, I would recommend pausing the video now and going to get it so you are ready to start.

So in today's revision lesson, we are going to be going through some of the key topics that we have looked at so far.

So firstly, this is church life.

So different styles of worship and church buildings.

Secondly, we have key Christian practises.

So those are practises such as baptism, Eucharist, confession, pilgrimage.

And then finally, we have Christian ethics.

So how do Christians make decisions? What do they consider when they are doing this? So that is what we are covering in today's lesson.

And this lesson will give you an opportunity to recap lots of the key information and to make sure that you really understand some of these topics.

So let's begin, please be aware that in this lesson we revise abortion and euthanasia along with issues about animal testing.

So if this is a sensitive topic for you, we recommend checking with a trusted adult before starting the lesson or doing the lesson with a trusted adult nearby.

So the first thing that we are going to think about is church life.

And we're going to start by looking at styles of worship.

So firstly, you will notice that these are the four different styles of worship that we looked at.

So we had liturgical worship, liturgical worship follows a set structure is generally, quite traditional and the same thing will happen at every service.

Non-liturgical is more informal and while it does normally, follow a structure that can change if the minister decides.

Private worship is worship, that happens alone.

This could involve personal prayer or worship and Roman Catholic use rosary beads to help them do this.

We said, those are little beads in which they touch different beads when they pray for different things.

And finally public worship.

And that is just any worship with other people.

So that can be liturgical it can be none liturgical.

It can happen on a Sunday or any other day of the week.

So what I would like you to do is to fill in the missing words from the slides.

So I will go through these and I would like you to tell me what is missing so you can either write it down or you can say it out loud.

Writing it down is a really good way to make sure that you commit to an answer.

So I would encourage you to write it down.

So for example, I will give you your first one.

So you can see that there are two gaps here and I would like you to write down the two definitions that are missing.

So we're missing the definition for liturgical and the definition for private.

You can pause the video if you want, or you might already have it by now.

Well done, so liturgical follow set structure and private is to worship alone.

So liturgical set structure, private to worship alone.

Let's try the next one.

So now you're missing two key words and one definition.

So two key words and one definition.

So you're missing the definition of non-liturgical and the key terms that describe worship alone and worship with others.

Again, you can pause it or you might already have your answers done by now.

Really well done.

So none Liturgical is more informal style of worship to worship alone is private worship and worship with others is public worship well done.

So now you're missing two key words and two definitions.

So again, write down the words that you think are relevant here.

So we're missing the key terms for follow set structure are more informal and we are missing the definition of private worship and public worship.

So hopefully, you have these done by now.

You can pause it if you need to good work.

So your answers are liturgical full of set structure, non-liturgical, more informal, private is to worship alone and public is to worship with others.

You should now feel really confident on those four key styles of worship and their definition.

So what I would like you to do now is to complete this table.

So you need to pause the video here and to draw out this table by yourself.

So for each of the styles of worship, you are saying, what is the definition or the explanation and give an example of this happening.

So that could be the type of church or the denomination that practises that style or it could be a specific example of something they do.

So pause the video here complete the task.

and when you're finished you can press resume and we will go through the answers together.

Really well done let's go through these answers together.

So let's start with liturgical.

So the definition of liturgical worship is follows a set structure, more traditional.

Your example could be Church of England or Catholic services.

They generally, follow the set structure and do the same things using set prayers, set readings et cetera.

Then non-liturgical.

So this is more informal.

The structure can change and it's more personal.

So if someone prays they might say more personal things.

Example is a lot of Protestant services are non-liturgical and you could use the Baptist Church as an example.

Private worship is worship that is carried out alone and it can be liturgical or non-liturgical.

So people can follow set readings if they want, but they can also say what they want and be more personal.

An example of this could be in the Catholic Church, the use of the rosary beads.

Remember we said they use the beads and work through them as they pray for different things.

And then finally, public worship.

The definition is this is carried out with others.

Usually it's on a Sunday service and again can be liturgical or non-liturgical.

And an example of this is any Sunday service or any event where Christians meet together that could be midweek services as well.

So really well done on that.

What I would like you to do is to pause the video here and use your different coloured pen and just add anything extra that you think might be useful.

Okay, really, really well done.

So press resume when you have finished doing that and we will carry on to look at our next topic.

So now we are going to look at the different items in the church.

And the church that we are looking at is a traditional Church of England church.

But we're going to look at some of the key items that make up the interior of this church.

So as you can see we have the altar.

You might remember that this is where communion is taken from and is usually placed at the front of the church.

Then we have the stained glass window.

And you might remember that we said that yes, this looks really nice, but it is also there because originally, not everyone could read.

So people thought they could put the stories of Jesus on the windows to help people understand the life of Jesus and the Christian faith.

Then we have the font and this is the baptismal font.

So people are baptised here, usually with the sprinkling of water on their forehead and this font sets at the entrance to the church.

And then we have the lectern and this is a reading stand where the Bible is read from.

And again, it was usually at the front of the church.

So what I would like you to do is I'm going to take away some of these words and I would like you to write down the correct name.

So let's do the first one together.

So now you have two key terms missing.

I would like you to write down the two key words that are missing.

So what are the names of the items that are missing? Really well done they are the stained glass window and the lectern well done.

Let's try another one.

So the other two are now gone.

Can you remember what they're called? So it was the communion table and the baptismal items so where baptism takes place.

Three, two, one, the altar and the font really well done.

Now all four of these are missing.

So can you write down what all of these items are called? I will give you another second or two.

This should now be quite quick.

Let's go three, two and one.

We have the altar where the communion is taken the stained glass windows that tell the story of Jesus, the font, where people are baptised and the lectern where the Bible is read from really well done.

So now we're going to move on to look at Christian practises.

So we have six different key topics here that we are going to consider.

So they are baptism, Eucharist, confession, pilgrimage, festivals and service and evangelism.

And so we're going to do some quick recap on all of these topics and make sure that we revise the key things in these topics.

So firstly, let's start with baptism.

So there are two different forms of baptism.

There is Believer's baptism, which is the picture on the left and infant baptism, which is the picture on the right.

Why do Christians do baptism? Firstly, Jesus told them to, he told them to go and make disciples and baptise them.

Secondly, Jesus himself was baptised.

So he was baptised by his cousin, John the Baptist.

So how does that work today in these two different forms? So some churches believe that babies should be baptised.

For example, the Catholic Church believe that everyone has this problem of original sin.

So they believe when you are baptised, it cleanses you of sin which is why they believe in infant baptism, which is when water is sprinkled on the head of the baby.

Lots of other churches believe in Believer's baptism, such as Baptist Churches.

And this is when an adult makes a public declaration of their faith so they might go up to the stage, give a little testimony, talk about what Jesus means to them.

And then they will be fully immersed in the water.

So go and below and back up again to signify this idea of new life.

So that is baptism so why does it happen? Jesus told them to Jesus did it himself.

What are the different types? Infant baptism and Believer's baptism.

Then let's think about the Eucharist.

So the Eucharist is another word for communion.

And the first example of this was the last supper.

The night before Jesus's crucifixion when him and his disciples sat down to have this meal and Jesus broke bread and drank wine and said, this is my body broken for you do this in remembrance of me.

So Jesus instructed his followers to do this and Jesus did it himself.

So what does the Eucharist remember? So the Eucharist remembers Jesus's sacrifice on the cross.

It remembers Jesus's death in order to save Christians.

So what are the two different understandings of the Eucharist? So some Christians believe that this is just a remembrance meal.

So Protestants believe that nothing special happens as Christians take this but is to help them remember Jesus's death.

Catholics on the other hand believe in transubstantiation.

Let me say that again, transubstantiation.

This means that the substance changes from bread and wine to the body and the blood of Jesus.

So there's a literal change to the body and the blood of Jesus.

Obviously, for them this means that the Eucharist is very significant.

So that is the Eucharist.

And then we have confession.

So you might remember that when we talked about confession, a lot of people picture an image like this and confession happens in this form in the Catholic Church.

Where Christians will go along and confess what they have done wrong, this is an order for the priest to forgive them and then they will go away and make amends for what they have done.

There were three main steps to confession.

There's contraction which is them showing their sorrow at disobeying God, there's confession number two, where they tell the priest what they've done wrong and there's penance number three, where they make amends for what they've done.

So they go and perform good acts to make up for what they have done wrong.

How does confession work in the Protestant church? So they don't believe they need to go and confess to a priest, but they will still confess their sins to God.

And they will be accountable to other Christians and encourage each other to live a life that obeys God.

So what I would like you to do now is to complete the worksheet that you can download.

You can then complete it by hand or on your computer.

And is about Baptism, Eucharist and Confession.

And as you complete this, I would like you to write down the explanation of each a Bible passage or a verse that you can use to talk about it.

One understanding of this and then another understanding.

So usually that might be Protestant and Catholic, but it does not have to be so two different understandings of the practise.

So please, can you pause the video for 10 minutes and complete this worksheet, please try your best and include as much detail as you can think of.

And when you're finished, press resume and we will go through lots of these answers together.

So let's go through these answers together.

So let's start with baptism.

So your explanation of baptism is that it is the practise of sprinkling or immersion in water.

A passage or verse that you could use is quite simply the example of Jesus's baptism.

So you can talk about that.

One understanding is infant baptism, and this is the baptism of a baby.

This cures original sin.

Another understanding is Believer's baptism.

And this is a public declaration of faith.

Then let's think about the Eucharist.

Explanation, it's an act of eating bread and drinking wine.

The Bible passage or verse you can use is simply the last supper.

One understanding is transubstantiation.

And this is the Catholic belief that bread and wine literally turn into the body and the blood of Jesus.

Another understanding is remembrance.

This is the Protestant belief that communion is a remembrance meal.

And finally confession.

Explanation is acknowledging your own sins, Bible passage or verse.

He will forgive us our sins.

One understanding is the Catholic belief in confession to the priest.

And another understanding is the Protestant belief in personal confession to God and accountability to others.

So you can pause the video here and with your different colours pen, you can add some extra points around your table and when you're ready to press resume, please do that.

And we will continue to look at the other practises really well done.

So now let's talk about pilgrimage what is a pilgrimage? Firstly, it is a religious journey or a journey to a place of religious significance for religious reasons.

So we learn about 2 main places where Christians go on pilgrimage and they are Lourdes in France and Iona in Scotland.

Let me remind you quickly why Christians go there.

So Lourdes France is famous for healings and it is where in the past St.

Bernadette was said to have had visions of Mary, the mother of Jesus or the Virgin Mary.

And when she did this a well with Holy water was said to appear, and this Holy water healed people.

So people today still go there to be healed and spend time with God.

Then let's think about Iona in Scotland.

So Iona used to be a Monastery where monks spent their life devoted to God and Columba was the monk who's really famous and Iona and Christians today go to Iona to spend time with God, to get away from the distractions of life, to learn more about their faith and it's also said to be this place where the veil is very thin between heaven and earth.

So a lot of Christians say that due to the natural beauty of the landscape they can sense God's presence really closely.

So what I would like you to do now is to pause the video here and just draw a little table and write everything you can remember about Lourdes and Iona.

They should take you about five minutes add as much detail as you can and When you're finished you can press resume.

Really well done.

Let's go through some answers together.

So Lourdes it is in France it is famous for healings and venerating Mary.

What does venerating mean? To highly respect yes, respecting Mary it's most attended by Roman Catholics and it's famous for St.

Bernadette.

She was the one who was said to have these visions and to have met Mary.

Iona then is in Scotland, it's a place of worship learning and connecting to God and it was a Monastery.

So again, you can pause the video here and take down any of this information that you would like.

Now let's quickly, remind ourselves of the festivals of Christmas and Easter.

So what is Christmas? It's the story of Jesus's birth.

When Joseph and Mary went from Nazareth to Bethlehem because of the census where they had to return to Joseph's birth time to be counted when they got to Bethlehem there was no room in any of the Inns.

So they stayed in a stable and that's where Jesus was born.

He was visited by the shepherds and by the wise men.

So Christians still remember this today through a range of things they give presents, they go to church, they sing Carols, they go to midnight mass.

So there's a whole range of things that they do today to remember this.

And then let's think about Easter.

So Easter remembers the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus.

So we have some key events and they lead up to that.

So Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a Donkey then the last supper, when there was a meal that took place with Jesus and his disciples, and this is where the first Eucharist or communion happened.

And then we have the crucifixion on Friday and the resurrection on Sunday.

So how do Christians remember this today? Again, they go to church, they pray, they meet with other Christians, but they also give Easter eggs and they take part in lighting the paschal candle.

And this is on Easter Sunday to signify hope and new life and joy.

So that is the festivals.

Let's then quickly go over service and evangelism.

So what is service? It's doing things to help others.

And what service did we look at? We looked at food banks and street pastors.

So there are two examples of local service.

Food banks provide food for those in need and street pastors help those who are trying to get home after being out in the evening.

And why do they do this? Well, because Jesus said love your neighbour as you love yourself.

He commanded people to show love to each other.

What then is evangelism? It is telling others about your faith.

And it happens locally and globally.

Locally, we looked at alpha and this is when Christians might invite their friends along, there's a meal, there's someone who does a talk on Christianity and then they discuss it.

Mission is globally and this is where people leave, where they're from they travelled to somewhere else in the world to share the stories about Jesus.

So now we are going to have a little quick fire quiz to see what you remember about festivals and service and evangelism.

You can write down your answer or you can point at the screen.

Number one, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus.

Is that true or false? Five, four, three, two, one.

That is of course true.

Number two Jesus was born in Jerusalem five, four, three, two and one that is of course false.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

The crucifixion took place on a Saturday true or false? Five, four, three, two and one.

This is false the crucifixion took place on a Friday.

The Paschal candle is lit at Easter is this true or false? Five, four, three, two and one that is true.

Christmas trees have religious meaning.

Is that true or false? Five, four, three, two and one that is false.

Christmas trees have nothing to do with the Christmas story.

Number seven, Food banks and street pastors work in local communities.

Is that true or false? Five, four, three, two and one that is of course true.

Alpha gives people an opportunity to explore the Christian faith.

Five, four, three, two and one that is true.

Remember people go along and discuss their faith.

Christians practise both service and evangelism.

Is that true or false? Five, four, three, two and one that is of course true.

And finally, Jesus told Christians, that service was more important that evangelism.

Is that true or false? Five, four, three, two and one that is of course false.

Jesus taught the importance of both service and evangelism through out his life.

Now let's have a look at our final topic, Christian beliefs about ethics, human and non-human issues.

So let's firstly, remind ourselves some of these key definitions.

So stewardship is a job of supervising or taking care of something.

So Christians believe that they are stewards over this world today because God created it and left them in charge.

Situation Ethics it's an ethical theory that's based on the idea of doing the most loving thing in every situation.

So Joseph Fletcher came up with this theory and he said that Christian should do the most loving thing in every situation.

And finally the sanctity of life.

And this is the idea that all human life is valuable because it is created in the image of God.

So every single human life is valuable because it is created by God and in the image of God.

And let's also look at our two medical definitions.

So Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy and Euthanasia the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma.

So remember Abortion deliberate termination of pregnancy, Euthanasia is when there's, painless killing of a patient who has an incurable disease.

So both of these are about when does life begin and when does life end.

Then we looked at animals.

So we looked at animal animals and medical testing and animals in cosmetic testing.

So let's quickly do some quick fire questions on our three approaches to ethics.

So which approach focuses on the most loving thing to do? Is it situation ethics, is it sanctity of life or stewardship? Five, four, three, two and one it is of course situation ethics.

It focuses on doing the most loving thing in any situation.

which approach focuses on caring for the world? Is it situation ethics, is it the sanctity of life or stewardship? Five, four, three, two and one it is of course stewardship.

It says that humans are stewards of the earth because God created it and created them to rule over it.

Which approach focuses on the value of human life? Five, four, three, two, and one it is of course the sanctity of life.

The sanctity of life says that all human life is valuable because it is created by God and in the image of God.

Now what I would like you to do is to pause the video and complete this table.

So I want you to list everything that you can remember about stewardship, about situation, ethics and sanctity of life, including their views on human ethical issues and non-human ethical issues.

So human is Abortion and Euthanasia, Non-human is animals and medical testing and cosmetic testing.

So this should take you about 10 minutes and you can press resume once you've finished.

And we will go through these answers together.

This is the last task of the day so try your best.

Really well done.

Let's go through some of these answers together.

So stewardship let's start with it.

So stewardship is looking after the world.

It would not allow cosmetic testing as that does not look after the world and might allow human testing, I think that should say medical testing as it is using resources widely.

So it wouldn't allow cosmetic testing, but it would allow animal testing for medical reasons.

So no cosmetic testing but yes to medical testing, as that might be using resources wisely.

Situation ethics then is doing the most loving thing.

It might allow abortion and euthanasia, and if that is required so if that is more loving, so if it is more loving, it would allow abortion and euthanasia.

Then it would allow animal testing because it is loving for humans.

So largely, situation ethics would be okay with animal testing because it is loving for humans.

Then the sanctity of life, the value of human life, because it is made by God in the image of God.

And it would usually disagree with abortion and euthanasia because they both don't regard human life as extremely valuable in all situations.

So sometimes it would agree with abortion, but sometimes it would let abortion happen if the mother's life is at risk.

But it would always disagreed with euthanasia because even if someone is suffering or not as capable as they used to be, this theory would still say that their life is valuable.

And finally, it would agree with the animal testing if that helps humans.

So if medical animal testing for medical reasons is helping humans, the sanctity of life is going to be okay with it.

So you can pause the video here and take down any of this that you need.

I hope you really enjoyed this topic.

It's quite an interesting one to think through.

Please do share some of the great revision that you've done today with Oak National.

If you'd like to please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter and tag @OakNational or #LearnwithOak.

It has been great to see you today.

Thank you so much for joining in today's lesson.

And I'm sure you now, feel like an expert on Christian practises, which is great and it would be great if you could now attempt the summary quiz to see what you have learned.

I will see you again soon.
