Ecclesiology & Sacraments Rather than seven, as in Roman Catholicism and Orthodox expressions of the Christian Faith, most Protestant denominations have two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion. This brief paper will focus on these two sacraments as proper, examine their significance as means of grace, and declare their proper methodologies and details of their administration, answering the questions, "In what way do they communicate grace, by whom are they administered, to whom are they administered, and in what setting?"

Ecclesiology & Sacraments Throughout church history, the Lord's Supper has been a crucial aspect of Christian worship, yet the meaning of Christ's mighty words in instituting the sacrament has been widely disputed. Therefore, the practice of the Lord's Supper, following its varying interpretations, has also varied. This brief essay, composed of a historical narrative section and a case study, will examine these understandings, primarily focusing on the Reformation's practice and understanding of the Lord's Supper, as the Reformation Era represents many different positions on the sacrament.

Systematic Theology The communicatio idiomatum, or the communication of properties, is a vital doctrine of Christology that safeguards the unity of Christ's person while affirming the integrity of His two natures. It reflects a theological method rooted in Chalcedonian Christology and the Reformed tradition, both of which confess that Christ's natures are without change, confusion, separation, and division. This paper will approach this doctrine from a Trinitarian, Chalcedonian, and Reformed framework, defining it in light of its biblical and historical interpretation, defending it against historical and contemporary distortions, and declaring it essential to proper Christology and the Christian Faith.
