牧师与牧师
Pastor and Reverend are two of the Christian honorifics and titles that show some difference between them in usage. Once you are inside a Church, how do you decide what the title to be used for a particular person belonging to the clergy? They are all men of religion, chosen to serve in different capacities in a church, aren’t they? But the nomenclature used for people being members of clergy keeps confusing an ordinary person. If you too do not know how to address people inside a church or how is a pastor different from the reverend, read on as this article attempts to highlight their differences.
信徒们有明确的分裂基督教between the clergy and laity. Men of religion or those chosen to serve the religion inside a church are referred to as clergy while the remaining faithfuls form the laity. In罗马天主教会,神职人员又有一个区别。那些属于低阶的泥泞很简单牧师while those belonging to the higher order arePriest.
Who is a Pastor?
Pastor is a title that is reserved for the leader of a church. It is a title used for a member of the clergy, who is in-charge of a congregation. The term pastor actually originated from the Latin word pastor that means shepherd. Pastor being the head of a church ensures that it runs in a proper way.
If the church is a small one and has just one priest, he is normally the pastor. If the church is large with many priests, the priest in charge is called the pastor. Priests belong to the higher order of clergy but one rung below the Bishops.
谁是牧师?
Reverend is used just as an形容词to refer to any member of the clergy whether higher or low in the hierarchy. The term reverend is not a title like the term pastor. You simply refer a cleric as reverend when talking to him inside a church. But, you also include the name of the cleric when talking about him with another person inside or outside the church. Reverend is just to show respect to a member of clergy. You can call any priest inside a church as reverend.
由于牧师是一种地址,因此牧师或牧师有可能被称为牧师。在此形容词之前,还有其他资格,例如正确的牧师或最牧师。在解决牧师或牧师时使用牧师只是意味着表现出对人的尊重。这类似于将教皇称为他的圣洁。
We mainly see the term reverend being used as a term to address the clergy of Christianity. However, clergy of other religions can also be called by using the term reverend. For example, the clergy ofBuddhism也可以使用“牧师”一词来解决。
牧师和牧师的区别是什么?
•牧师和牧师的定义:
• Pastor is the head of the church and when there is just one priest, he is the pastor too. In a large church with many priests, the priest who is in charge is called the pastor.
• Reverend is not a title that shows power in the church hierarchy but an adjective to show respect to a member of the clergy.
•参考谁:
• You can use pastor to refer to the head priest of the church.
• You can use reverend for any ordained clergy or minister and certainly for the pastor too.
• Church Hierarchy:
• Pastor is a title that is used to show church hierarchy.
• Reverend is a term that does not show any church hierarchy. That is why you can use it without any problem to address any priest.
• Religion:
•我们只在基督教中找到牧师。
• However, the term reverend can also be used to refer to members of clergy in other religions too.
As you can see, both pastor and reverend are terms used to address the clergy. However, pastor is a term that can be used only for a certain type of priest. However, reverend can be used for any priest without a regard to his position in the church.
