A corroboree is a ceremonial meeting of what group of people?
"Corroboree A corroboree is an event where Australian Aboriginals interact with the Dreamtime through dance, music and costume. ""Their bodies painted in different ways, and they wore various adornments, which were not used every day."" The word ""corroboree"" was coined by the European settlers of Australia in imitation of an east coast local Aboriginal Australian word ""caribberie"". In the northwest of Australia, ""corroboree"" is a generic word to define theatrical practices as different from ceremony. Whether it be public or private, ceremony is for invited guests. There are other generic words to describe traditional public performances: ""juju"" and ""kobbakobba"" for"
"Concelebration In Christianity, concelebration (from Lat., ""con"" + ""celebrare"",to celebrate together) is the presiding of a number of presbyters (priests or ministers) at the celebration of the Eucharist with either a presbyter or bishop as the ""principal celebrant"" and the other presbyters and bishops present in the chancel assisting in the consecration of the Eucharist. The ""concelebrants"" assist the principal celebrant by reciting the Words of Consecration together with him, thus effecting the change of the eucharistic elements. They may also recite portions of the Eucharistic Prayer. Concelebration is often practiced by ministers/priest of Churches that are in full communion"
"example. In the Pilbara, corroborees are ""yanda"" or ""jalarra"". Across the Kimberley the word ""junba"" is often used to refer to a range of traditional performances and ceremonies. Corroboree and ceremony are strongly connected but different. In the 1930s Adolphus Elkin wrote of a public pan-Aboriginal dancing ""tradition of individual gifts, skill, and ownership"" as distinct from the customary practices of appropriate elders guiding initiation and other ritual practices. Corroborees are open performances in which everyone may participate taking into consideration that the songs and dances are highly structured requiring a great deal of knowledge and skill to perform.

"Colloquy (religious) A religious colloquy is a meeting to settle differences of doctrine or dogma, also called a colloquium (meeting, discussion), as in the historical Colloquy at Poissy, and like the legal colloquy, most often with a certain degree of judging involved. Religious colloquies are relatively common as a means to avoid calling full synods and avoiding out-and-out breaches leading to schisms. Colloquy may also be defined as the conversation of prayer with God, a private opportunity with God the Father, to plead one's need for assistance, reassurance or forgiveness. St. Gregory of Nyssa is quoted as saying ""Prayer is"
"Sometimes the word jamborette is used to denote smaller, either local or international, gatherings. A similarly used word ""Camporee"" in the Scouting program is also reflective of the older English style of use. ""Camporee"" today reflects a local or regional gathering of Scouting units for a period of camping and common activities. Similar to a camporee, a jamboree occurs less often and draws units from the entire nation or world. Jamboree In Scouting, a jamboree is a large gathering of Scouts who rally at a national or international level. The 1st World Scout Jamboree was held in 1920, and was"

"Colloquy (law) In law, a colloquy is a routine, highly formalized conversation. Conversations among the judge and lawyers (as opposed to testimony under oath) are colloquys. The term may be applied to the conversation that takes place when a defendant enters into a plea bargain and the judge is supposed to verify that the defendant understands that he is waiving his right to a jury trial. In criminal court, a colloquy is an investigation within a defendant's plea to reassure that the plea was given ""knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently"".

"at the showground site because it was a traditional location rather than for access to blankets. The available evidence suggests that the gatherings served a much more significant purpose than the acquisition of blankets. The visits of large numbers of Aborigines from distant areas and the holding of corroborees are recorded in connection with the 1859, 1861 and 1862 gatherings. Local tradition maintains that corroborees were held on the current showground reserve around this time. Indeed, the reserve was the site of the last Aboriginal corroboree held in the Queanbeyan district in 1862. Held over many weeks, the corroboree was"
"Quorum A quorum is the minimum number of members of a deliberative assembly (a body that uses parliamentary procedure, such as a legislature) necessary to conduct the business of that group. According to ""Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised"", the ""requirement for a quorum is protection against totally unrepresentative action in the name of the body by an unduly small number of persons."" The term ""quorum"" is from a Middle English wording of the commission formerly issued to justices of the peace, derived from Latin ""quorum"", ""of whom"", genitive plural of ""qui"", ""who"". As a result, ""quora"" as plural of"
"Session (Presbyterianism) A session (from the Latin word ""sessio"", which means ""to sit"", as in sitting to deliberate or talk about something; sometimes called ""consistory"" or ""church board"") is a body of elected elders governing each local church within presbyterian polity. These groups of elders make decisions for the local parish through a ruling body called the ""Kirk session"" (Latin. ""sessio"" from ""sedere"" ""to sit""), sometimes the ""Session"", ""church session,"" or (in Continental Reformed usage) ""consistory"". The members of the session are the pastor (Teaching Elder) of that congregation, and the other ruling elders (sometimes called ""lay elders""). Elders are"
"Audience (meeting) An audience is a formal meeting that takes place between a head of state and another person at the invitation of the head of state. Often, the invitation follows a request for a meeting from the other person. Though sometimes used in republics to describe meetings with presidents, the term is more usually associated with monarchs and popes. In the past, rigid dress codes had to be followed by those granted a papal audience. Although no longer mandatory, the traditional dress code was quite strict. For a general audience, smart business professional attire (i.e. a suit and tie"

Additionally, Orders are typically dated in history as older than Congregations. A group of people assembled for religious worship. The Catholic congregation in the Roman Curia is the most notable congregation. These Christian institutes, in accordance with the intentions of the Founder or by reason of legitimate tradition, are governed by clerics, assume the exercise of sacred Orders, and are recognized by the Church as clerical Institutes.

"Camporee A camporee is a local or regional gathering of Scouting units for a period of camping and common activities. Similar to a camporee, a jamboree occurs less often and draws units from the entire nation or world. It should not be confused with the Australian term jamborette. The Pathfinder Club also promote large camps called ""camporees"". These camporees are divided into four levels: Area, Conference, Union and International (Held in Oshkosh,Wisconsin every five years). The camporees are the biggest events of interaction between Pathfinder clubs around the world. In the Boy Scouts of America, districts or councils may hold"
"Congregation (university) A congregation is a formal meeting of senior members of a university, especially in the United Kingdom. Examples include Regent House at the University of Cambridge and the House of Congregation and the Ancient House of Congregation at the University of Oxford. In recent times, very few congregations have actually been held, with most important business conducted by postal ballot of its members. The main exceptions are those held to formally award university degrees; stemming from this tradition, in some universities a graduation ceremony is known as a congregation even if the ceremony is not a meeting of"

The Conference of Restoration Elders (CRE) represents the body of the Restoration Branches that to date only are authorized to ordain men called of God to the offices of Elder, Priest, Teacher, and Deacon. The CRE will not organize "" The Church"" until they strongly receive ""Revelation"" and confirmation from the Lord. Their standpoint is The Church is the Church of Jesus Christ, and he will organize his Church as He sees fit. Ordinances"

The members of the session are the pastor(s) of that congregation (sometimes referred to as a teaching elder) and the installed ruling or canon elders (""ruling"" or ""canon"" because they are responsible for ""measuring"" the spiritual life and work of a congregation). In some Continental Reformed churches, deacons are members of the consistory; others, such as the Christian Reformed Church in North America, distinguish between the consistory, comprising the pastor and elders, and the council, which comprises the pastor(s), the elders,"
"Celebrancy Celebrancy is a movement to provide agents to officiate at ceremonies often reserved in law to clergy or officers of the courts. These agents, generally referred to as ""celebrants"", perform weddings, funerals, and other life ceremonies for those who do not want a traditional religious ceremony. Civil Celebrancy for independent community based officiants with ideals of meaningful ceremonies started in Australia due to the initiative of the Australian statesman and Attorney-General Lionel Murphy in 1973. He had very clear ideas on how secular people were entitled to ceremonies of equal dignity and substance as those enjoyed by religious people."
"Convocation A convocation (from the Latin ""convocare"" meaning ""to call/come together"", a translation of the Greek ἐκκλησία ""ekklēsia"") is a group of people formally assembled for a special purpose, mostly ecclesiastical or academic. A synodical assembly of a church is at times called ""Convocation"" The Convocations of Canterbury and York were the synodical assemblies of the two Provinces of the Church of England until the Church Assembly was established in 1920. Their origins date back to the end of the seventh century when Theodore of Tarsus (Archbishop of Canterbury, 668-690) reorganized the structures of the English Church and established national"

Curia Curia (Latin plural curiae) in ancient Rome referred to one of the original groupings of the citizenry, eventually numbering 30, and later every Roman citizen was presumed to belong to one. While they originally likely had wider powers, they only came to meet for a few purposes by the end of the Republic: in order to confirm the election of magistrates with imperium, to witness the installation of priests, the making of wills, and certain adoptions. The term is more broadly used to designate an assembly, council, or court, in which public, official, or religious"
"Coroner's jury A coroner's jury is a body convened to assist a coroner in an inquest, that is, in determining the identity of a deceased person and the cause of death. The laws on its role and function vary by jurisdiction. In the United Kingdom, all inquests were once conducted with a jury. They acted somewhat like a grand jury, determining whether a person should be committed to trial in connection to a death. Such a jury was made up of up to twenty-three men, and required the votes of twelve to render a decision. Similar to a grand jury,"

A camporee is a district- or council-wide event where several units camp and engage in activities, Scoutcraft competitions and learn specialized skills. The national Scout jamboree usually occurs every four years, and draws more than 30,000 Scouts from across the country and the world. The last jamboree took place in 2017 at The Summit in West Virginia. The Summit is to be a permanent place for the Jamboree and an opportunity to construct a new high-adventure base. The"
"Meeting (parliamentary procedure) According to ""Robert's Rules of Order"", a widely used guide to parliamentary procedure, a meeting is a gathering of a group of people to make decisions. This sense of ""meeting"" may be different from the general sense in that a meeting in general may not necessarily be conducted for the purpose of making decisions. Each meeting may be a separate session or part of a group of meetings constituting a session. Meetings vary in their frequency, with certain actions being affected depending on whether the meetings are held more than a quarterly time interval apart. There are"
"held their ceremonies under and in the vicinity of this tree"". These ceremonies celebrated important events, told traditional stories and promoted unity between communities, and are commonly known by the generic term, corroboree, or ngargee in the local language. The site continued to be used, both for ceremonial purposes and as a fringe camp, for some years after British settlement in 1835, as is evidenced by Jacob Miller who told his son how he had witnessed the remnant Kulin population ""perform their dancing about the old tree"" after moving into the area during the 1850s.

"the peace who performs acts of marriage or civil union. Their main responsibility is to witness the consent of the intended spouses for the wedding license and hence validate the marriage or civil union for legal purposes. Officiant's duties and responsibilities, as well as who may be an officiant vary among jurisdictions. In the United States, Canada and several other countries around the world, a celebrant is a person who performs religious or secular celebrancy services for weddings, funerals, child namings, coming of age ceremonies, and other rituals. Most Celebrants are ordained clergy (such as a Christian pastor), while some"
"Revival meeting A revival meeting is a series of Christian religious services held to inspire active members of a church body to gain new converts. Nineteenth-century Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon said, ""Many blessings may come to the unconverted in consequence of a revival among Christians, but the revival itself has to do only with those who already possess spiritual life."" These meetings are usually conducted by churches or missionary organizations throughout the world. Notable historic revival meetings were conducted in the US by evangelist Billy Sunday and in Wales by evangelist Evan Roberts. A revival meeting usually consists of several"
"Claque A claque is an organized body of professional applauders in French theatres and opera houses. Members of a claque are called claqueurs. Hiring people to applaud dramatic performances was common in classical times. For example, when the Emperor Nero acted, he had his performance greeted by an encomium chanted by five thousand of his soldiers. This inspired the 16th-century French poet Jean Daurat to develop the modern claque. Buying a number of tickets for a performance of one of his plays, he gave them away in return for a promise of applause. In 1820 claques underwent serious systematization when"

He applied the same rule to concelebration of the Eucharist (at that time in use only at ordination to episcopacy and to priesthood) in his talk of 22 September 1956. Traditionally concelebration was not practiced or at all permitted in Anglican churches. However, recently, the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States's prayerbook directs other clergy to ""stand with the celebrant at the altar, joining in the consecration of the gifts, breaking the bread, and distributing communion."" Concelebration In Christianity, concelebration (from Lat., ""con"" + ""celebrare"",to celebrate together) is the presiding of a"
"Consolatio The Consolatio or consolatory oration is a type of ceremonial oratory, typically used rhetorically to comfort mourners at funerals. It was one of the most popular classical rhetoric topics, and received new impetus under Renaissance humanism. The ""Consolatio"" literary tradition (""consolation"" in English) is a broad literary genre encompassing various forms of consolatory speeches, essays, poems, and personal letters. This literary tradition flourished in antiquity, and its origins date back to the fifth century BC. Orators in antiquity often delivered consolatory speeches to comfort mourners at funerals or in cases of public mourning. Friends wrote personal letters consoling each"
"Meeting for worship A meeting for worship is a practice of the Religious Society of Friends (or ""Quakers"") in many ways comparable to a church service. These services have a wide variety of forms, creating a spectrum from typical Protestant liturgy (one extreme of programmed worship) to silent waiting for the Spirit (called unprogrammed worship). A Meeting for Worship may start with a query; something to think about during Meeting. The query is most of the time based on one of the Quaker testimonies. Meeting will then sit in silence for varying amounts of time, but usually from twenty minutes"
"convene on an optional basis in order to increase public confidence in the coroner's finding where there might otherwise be a controversy. In practice, coroner's juries are most often convened in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety by one governmental official in the criminal justice system toward another if no charges are filed against the person causing the death, when a governmental party such as a law enforcement officer is involved in the death. Serving on a jury is normally compulsory for individuals who are qualified for jury service. A jury is intended to be an impartial panel capable"

"Jamboree In Scouting, a jamboree is a large gathering of Scouts who rally at a national or international level. The 1st World Scout Jamboree was held in 1920, and was hosted by the United Kingdom. Since then, there have been twenty three World Scout Jamborees, hosted in various countries, generally every four years. The 24th World Jamboree is to be held in North America in 2019. There are also national and continental jamborees held around the world with varying frequency. Many of these events will invite and attract Scouts from overseas.

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) identifies it as coming from American slang, identifying a use in the New York Herald in 1868 and in Irish writings later in the 19th century. Within a half century, the meaning outside the Scouting program was becoming lost. For example, Robert"
