2. Helping your grandmother sort through the contents of a trunk in her attic, you come upon a garment which says is a baptismal gown. Most likely, what colour is it?

Answer: white, for purity

A baptismal gown or christening gown is worn by an infant at or immediately after Holy Baptism. Such gowns are universally white. In most Eastern Orthodox churches, the white gown is placed on the baby immediately after it comes up out of the water. In Roman Catholic and Anglican (Episcopal) churches, these white gowns are often ornate, embroidered, and expensive. The gown used for the first child is often handed down and used for all children thereafter; it becomes an heirloom. Protestant baptismal practices vary.

3. What are the seats called in some churches?

Answer: Pews

Pews are usually found in older churches. Stone benches were used in the 13th century, but by the 15th century, wooden pews were more common. Many newer churches in Britain use chairs instead, and the pews in some older churches have been replaced with chairs, too.

7. As part of one's Christian theological education, one is sometimes required to take a course or a class in hermeneutics. What is "hermeneutics" in this sense?

Answer: methods of biblical interpretation

Hermeneutics has an application much larger than its narrower meaning in the context of interpreting biblical texts. Hermeneutics is properly discussed in law, philosophy, literature, history, psychology and other disciples. In its simplest terms, hermeneutics studies how texts (and other communicative media) have and convey meaning, how they are understood, and how what one brings to the experience of them impacts the resultant meaning. Hermeneutics is about methods of interpretation. The term derives from the Greek "hermenaia" meaning interpretation or explanation. Aristotle discussed it. Christian biblical hermeneutics asks how scriptures mean. St Augustine of Hippo discussed them. Broadly speaking, there are four hermeneutic approaches to biblical interpretation: the literal, the moral, the allegorical (or spiritual) and the anagogical. Mircea Eliade discusses this lucidly.

8. In liturgical Christian churches, when is Ascension Day celebrated?

Answer: Thursday, the fortieth day after Easter

The Feast of the Ascension commemorates the day on which the Risen Jesus Christ was lifted bodily up to Heaven from the Earth (Mark 16:19; Luke 24:51; Acts 1:2,9). The reckoning of the date of this feast is that it falls forty days after Easter Day, which fortieth day is always a Thursday. As this is inconvenient for some people, there is a trend toward moving the observance to the following Sunday, the Seventh Sunday of Easter Day, the Sunday next before the Feast of Pentecost. Preachers of a literary bent may quote William Blake's poem "'Twas on a Holy Thursday." In some churches with a rich musical tradition, Johann Sebastian Bach's "Ascension Oratorio" is performed in this day.

Question by player FatherSteve
9. Saint Nicholas, the basis for the modern day Santa Claus, is best described as which of these?

Answer: 4th century A.D. bishop in what is currently Turkey

He was an actual saint and is believed to have lived in the 300s as a bishop of Myra, in the region of Asia Minor that is now part of Turkey. One of the miracles attributed to him is resurrecting three children who were cut up into pieces by a butcher. Today he is the patron saint of Russia, Greece and Moscow, as well as being the patron saint of sailors and unmarried girls.

10. Jesus threw out those "robbers" in the temple called money changers. What did money changers do?

Answer: Convert money to local currency

Money changers took the cash people brought from their homelands and converted it to local currency. Jesus was angry with money changers and those selling doves and goods, because they were overcharging, and making an unjust profit in the temple, a "house of prayer". (Matthew 21:12,13)
