Which term is another name for the Church meaning 'assembly'?

• A. The Church
• B. Ecclesia
• C. Grace
• D. Sacrament

Answer: (B)

This question tests understanding of church terminology and where the word for the Church comes from. Ecclesia comes from Greek ekklesia, meaning “assembly” or “those called out together.” In the New Testament, this term is used to refer to the people of God gathered by Christ—the Church as a community—more than a physical building. Because the clue points to the sense of “assembly,” Ecclesia is the exact term that fits best. The other options describe different concepts: Grace refers to a divine gift or favor, Sacrament is a sacred rite, and The Church is the common English name for the community but does not itself mean “assembly” in the original sense. So Ecclesia correctly captures the meaning described.
