This survey focused on mapping and acquiring a deeper understanding of the possibilities of promoting a long-term vision for the development of future care for people in the pre-terminal and terminal stages of the disease and for the dying. Conclusion: Similar surveys may provide relevant and inspiring stimuli for additional and novel specific surveys, studies and analyses, as well as scientific and professional discourses regarding the importance of establishing inspiring long-term visions for the development of future care for the dying.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Primarily under the Home and Community Care program, these offer a range of services with the aim of maintaining independence and preventing premature admission into long-term residential care. To gain access, each service conducts an assessment—some of which have been shown to be lengthy and detailed, with some bordering on invasion of privacy. Research has shown that multiple assessment of clients by multiple agencies can be threatening to the client and can give them the feeling they are being judged. Further, there appears to be poor coordination and liaison between service agencies which exacerbates the problems inherent in multiple assessment, and provides an avenue for overservicing. This paper presents a solution to these problems. A pilot project is foreshadowed whereby the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) undertakes all assessments and enters the details into a communal database for access by all care providers via computer network. The paper suggests that such a multiscreen database with service provider access codes to ensure confidentiality would markedly reduce client stress. It is shown that community service administrative costs would be reduced enabling funds to be directed to actual field hours. Some redefining of staff roles and redeployment of staff would be necessary and these issues are discussed. The writer recognises that the proposal is somewhat idealistic. However it does address some significant problems with the current methods of client assessment. Potential solutions are offered and may provide a useful basis for future development.

Autor wprowadza czytelnika w sytuację polityczną cesarstwa na przełomie V i VI wieku. Następnie prezentuje odprawianie mszy pod koniec VI wieku i w wieku VII. W dalszej części artykułu wymienione są źródła z tego okresu: Sacramentarium Veronense, Gelasianum Vetus, lekcjonarze i psałterze. Artykuł kończy opis celebracji liturgii według Ordo Romanus primus.

Issues that initiated the beginning of this movement in 19th century, introduced new knowledge about the essence of liturgy, the continuity between liturgy and church music, out of which were drawn various program proclamations, affections and impulses that can be found in the present liturgy of 21st century after The Second Vatican Council. In particular, such diverse drives were first evident in the personal shapes of the representatives of cecilianism, therefore this article deals mainly with the representatives and the principles of this movement and tries to focus on what could help to improve church music of that period. It is a pity that nowadays the movement of cecilianism is not very well comprehended just because of a lack of knowledge of its primary and final causes and intended consequences for the liturgy.

This sentence characterizes the basic archeological attitude towards the burial and all the related activities in the Christian antiquity. Natural desire of a human being that memory of him could be preserved in the next generations is visible in the methods of burying of the dead. In the burial places we find the archeological testimonies of the natural historical and religious environment where a human person – a Christian – lived, prayed and worked.

This identity is preserved until modern days through several historical problems. It was a nation which survived many difficult times in history. It was mindful of its situation in its own environment. Some historical excellence of Israel meant the task that the Jewish people was separated to some extent but not divided from other nations. If we want to look at the ancient liturgical texts mentioning the Jewish people in the changes of Syrian liturgy, it is necessary to perceive their continuity and historical aspects of the view in the geographical environment of the ancient Syria. This study wants to show the specifications and historical development of the texts of the Syrian liturgy from the viewpoint of the recent scientific information and research of the author. It confronts the available resources related to the research of the historical environment and texts ...

They become tomorrow’s lunch or next week’s garbage. Sometimes leftovers are even better the second time around – the flavors have had more time to blend together for an even more pleasing eating experience. In today’s gospel story about multiplication of loaves and fish to feed the hungry crow – about food and leftovers – Jesus does far more than satisfy physical hunger and provide tomorrow’s lunch for the disciples. He foreshadows the gift of His very self as the Bread of Life.

It presents to readers the historical development of Eucharistic ministers from the ancient times up to the present recalling the newest Church documents on this subject. The aim of this study is to give an exact and fitting review of the history and of the present regulations for ordinary and extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist.

Contribution brings us near to the ways of expressing the liturgy from the early times of the Church history to date, describes the liturgical answers. The liturgy like the honoring of obligatory cult for God is also evolving the word statements which are portending the message of redemption. These short statements are the stable part of all types of the worships and very often are connected with the historical origin. In the sphere of the religious profession is also added to them contextual exactness which renders to the acclamations practically the merit of the verification. From among the fundamental acclamations, which have the origins already in the beginnings of Ecclesia, this is the contents of this contribution.

They are the liturgical traditions of the Church, which preserves the continuity of the Christian liturgical tradition from the perspective of historical context in the environment where Christians live. Despite the glory of Constantinople, the Eastern Churches have preserved their own liturgies and rites. Although they are in smaller number, they are nonetheless still preserved in the liturgy despite circumstances hostile to Christianity and the influence of Islam. Local traditions in the West were gradually vanishing and the Roman liturgy had to confront life in Gallia. The celebration of the liturgy in the West according to the Roman model in the city of Rome and in areas under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Roman was preserved in the Latin Church until the beginning of the eighth century. Then there came a very important breaking point when the focus of the cultu...
