Design is allimportant in a banner for ecclesiastical use. The banner maker needs a sound knowledge of religious symbolism and iconography. There is also the question of its use i.e. indoor or outdoor. If outdoor it needs weatherproofing and must be able to be carried. Whether indoor or outdoor proper storage provision must be made. The types of material can vary from vinyl to cloth.In Christian theology ecclesiology is the study of doctrine pertaining to the Church itself as a community or organic entity and with the understanding of what the church is ie. its role in salvation its origin its relationship to the historical Christ its discipline its destiny see Eschatology and its leadership. It is therefore the study of the Church as a thing in itself and of the Churchs selfunderstanding of its mission and role.In addition to describing a broad discipline of theology ecclesiology may be used in the specific sense of a particular church or denomination’s character selfdescribed or otherwise. This is the sense of the word in such phrases as Roman Catholic ecclesiology Lutheran ecclesiology and ecumenical ecclesiology.Ecclesiology comes from the Greek sa ekklesia which entered Latin as ecclesia and which originally simply meant a gathering or a meeting. It is a compound of the Greek preposition ek which denotes origin and could be independently translated from and a kalo from uncontracted a kaleo meaning to call so that the compound word means a calling out and so a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place Thayers Greek Lexicon. While the term ecclesiology is today closely tied to the Christian Church its roots are therefore broader.
The Septuagint used to translate into Greek the Hebrew word meaning a congregation assembly company or other organized body BrownDriverBriggs Hebrew Definitions. Most Christian theologians do not regard the uses in the Hebrew Scriptures of this word as referring to the Church specifically in context they refer to a specific gathering for a particular circumstance though many of them consider the Jewish people as The People of God a community that understood itself to be defined by a unique covenant with God to be a foreshadowing a prototype or a sort of living prophecy of what would one day be the Christian Church.The Greek word is used in its generic sense in Acts once of a regular lawful assembly of the people verse and twice verses and of a riotous coming together of the townsfolk.Doctrine Latin doctrina is a code of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions taught principles or positions as the body of teachings in a branch of knowledge or belief system. The Greek analogy is the etymology of catechism.Often doctrine specifically connotes a corpus of religious dogma as it is promulgated by a church but not necessarily doctrine is also used to refer to a principle of law in the common law traditions established through a history of past decisions such as the doctrine of selfdefense or the principle of fair use or the more narrowly applicable firstsale doctrine.
