| 释义 |
In theological usage, the German word Gemeinde ({{IPA|ɡəˈmaɪndə|lang}}; plural: Gemeinden) refers to a group of people attached to a specific house of worship, usually a church building or a synagogue. The word can be used to mean a parish assembly, in the sense of a group of people physically present for a service or other function, or be used in the sense of the Greek term {{lang|he|koinonia}}, a general fellowship of believers. In these senses, the word has no direct English equivalent except among Mormons, who call it a ward. Among the Amish, the word can also refer to the Amish community, interpreted as a corporate body politic, as a whole.[1] See alsoChurch (congregation)References1. ^{{cite book | last=Hostetler | first=John Andrew | title=Amish Life | publisher=Herald Press | isbn=9780836133264 }} {{religion-stub}} 2 : Christian terminology|German words and phrases |
