This thesis is a contribution to the scholarly debate on how African Independent Churches (AICs) relate to outside partners. It is a case study from the perspective of the periphery of Ethiopia, which explains the origins of the Mekane Yesus Church in Kambata Hadiya The diachronic structure of the study with a focus from 1944 to 1975 highlights how a group of Christians reacted to cultural pressure and formed a local independent church, the Kambata Evangelical Church 2 (KEC-2). The KEC-2 established relations with external partners, like a neighbouring mainstream conference of churches, a neighbouring mainstream church, an international organisation, and a mainstream overseas church and its mission. These relations influenced the KEC-2 to develop into a synod of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY). The diachronic approach is augmented by synchronic structural analyses, illustrating how aspects in the independent KEC-2, like polity, worship, doctrine and ethos were changing. The study contends that "Ethiopian Evangelical Solidarity" was a crucial factor in the development of the independent KEC-2 into a synod of the EECMY. As this factor helped the Ethiopians to transcend barriers of ethnicity, social status and denominationalism, it is not unreasonable to assume that the study has relevance for a wider African context.

Os conflitos comunitários e Sinodais e a formação e consolidação da IECLB: as trajetórias da Associação Evangélica de Comunidades e do Sínodo Evangélico-Luterano até a sua fusão e constituição do Sínodo Evangélico-Luterano Unido em 1962Joel Haroldo Baade 01 March 2011 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Esta tese de doutorado é uma análise da formação do Sínodo Evangélico
Luterano Unido (SELU), em 1962, a partir da fusão da Igreja Luterana no Brasil
(1905) e do Sínodo Evangélico de Santa Catarina e Paraná (1911), mormente
chamados de sínodos. As trajetórias dessas duas instituições foram marcadas em
boa medida pelo combate mútuo, sendo que as origens destes conflitos estão em
divergências comunitárias preexistentes bem como em diferenças teológicas e
confessionais que remetem às histórias das instituições de procedência de pastores
e membros que integram os dois sínodos. Os nacionalismos do final do século XIX e
primeira metade do século XX determinaram a história dos sínodos. Principalmente
com o desfecho da Segunda Guerra Mundial, o ideal de edificar a Igreja a partir de
uma matriz étnica se revelou inválido, levando os sínodos à continuidade do diálogo
iniciado sob a germanidade, mas com um discurso novo, marcado por uma
reorientação teológica. Esta nova ordem ganhou expressão formal com a
constituição da Federação Sinodal (FS)/Igreja Evangélica de Confissão Luterana no
Brasil (IECLB), em 1949. Do compromisso com a nova ordem estabelecida decorreu
a necessidade de reestruturação dos dois sínodos, que haviam experimentado um
desenvolvimento paralelo, embora coexistindo num mesmo território. A constituição
do SELU é um marco fundamental na consolidação da IECLB como uma igreja de
Jesus Cristo no Brasil. / This doctoral dissertation is an analysis of the formation of the Sínodo
Evangélico Luterano Unido (SELU) [United Lutheran Evangelical Synod], in 1962,
stemming from the fusion of the Lutheran Church in Brazil (1905) and the Evangelical
Synod of Santa Catarina and Paraná (1911), normally called synods. The trajectories
of these two institutions were marked in good measure by mutual combat, being that
the origins of these conflicts are in the pre-existing congregational divergences as
well as in theological and confessional differences which remit back to the history of
the institutions as to the origins of the pastors and members who make up the two
synods. The nationalisms of the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th
century determined the history of the synods. Mainly with the result of the Second
World War, the ideal of edifying the Church based on an ethnic matrix was revealed
as invalid, leading the synods to continue the dialog that had begun under their
condition of Germanity, however now with a new discourse, marked by a theological
reorientation. This new order gained formal expression with the constitution of the
Federação Sinodal (FS) [Synod Federation]/ Igreja Evangélica de Confissão
Luterana no Brasil (IECLB) [Evangelical Church of Lutheran Confession in Brazil], in
1949. From the commitment with the new established order there arose the need for
restructuring the two synods, which had experienced a parallel development even
though co-existing in the same territory. The constitution of the SELU is a
fundamental marking point in the consolidation of the IECLB as a church of Jesus
Christ in Brazil.

The mission of the church as family: implementing the ecclesiology of the African Synod (1994) in the Catholic Diocese of MasvingoBasera, Michael 02 1900 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves 221-244 / The purpose of this thesis is to examine the mission of the ‘Church as family’ and to explore
its implications in terms of levels of inclusion and participation of church members in the
Catholic Diocese of Masvingo. The background of the study is the 1994 African Synod that
suggests the ecclesiology of the mission of the ‘Church as family.’ The study helps the
Catholic Diocese of Masvingo to evaluate the implementation of the ideal of the mission of
the ‘Church as family’ and draw implications for nuclear, single parent, child-headed,
reconstituted and extended families within the church. The study explores Shorter’s culture
model to examine how cultural practices, symbols, values and belief systems can be used as
an analytic framework for the human dimension of the church. A qualitative research
methodology that involves 36 participants in semi-structured interviews, three focus group
discussions in urban, semi-urban and rural parishes and participant observation was used to
collect data from parishioners, priests and religious of the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo. The
study reveals that each family type contributes to Evangelisation as proclamation of the Good
News and inculturation differently thereby enriching the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church
as family.’ Furthermore, the study shows that guilds, associations and commissions help to
strengthen families through spiritual, psychological, social and economic support. Findings
also indicate that the Trinity is the theological foundation of the family and it finds
acceptance in African communal setup. Family types in Masvingo Diocese are analysed
using the notion of the Trinity to show that dignity, equality and respect among family types
can be used to strengthen the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family.’ At pastoral level,
economic, social and cultural obstacles to family ministry stand as a challenge to the full
implementation and realisation of the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family’. In the
light of the research, recommendations for mission strategies were suggested at different
levels that involve Diocesan administration, priests, religious, catechists and parish leaders.
Recommendations for further researches were also suggested for areas that seem to be
important yet outside the scope of this study. The theological, pastoral, and cultural issues
raised in this study combine to help the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo to become an
authentic expression of the mission of the ‘Church as family’ of God. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)

Towards a new model of Diocesan management structures and proficiency in the Post-Vatican two Roman Catholic ChurchSlanders, Christopher Michael January 2009 (has links)
The topic of diocesan Church management structures which I present
in this research emerges from concerns concerning the comprehensive
implementation of the Second Vatican Council in this regard. It is an
attempt to examine, comprehend and present the responses and
opinions of members of a diocesan Church in a systematic, clear and
simple manner to concerns such as: should diocesan Church
management structures change? If so, how should diocesan Church
management structures change? What should be the main focus and
priority of diocesan Church management structures? Do the current
management structures of the diocesan Church respond adequately to
the needs of the People of God? Since the Catholic Church has a
complex management structure, the entire examination thereof is
beyond the scope of this research. However, the aim of this
investigation is to critically examine the diocesan management
structures of a contemporary local Church. The challenge of this
research is to ascertain how ecclesial management, as a vital aspect in
the Church, is responding to the challenges of the Second Vatican
Council to make the Church not only relevant, but allowing full
participation and representation of her members in the management
of the diocesan Church. / Department of Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / D.Th (Practical Theology)

Racism as a contradiction of the official social teachings of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (Anglican) and in particular the diocese of Johannesburg from 1948 to 1990Molipa, Thato Paul 11 1900 (has links)
Racism as legislated by the government of South Africa, found its way into every sphere of
South African life, political, social, economic and religious. Racism became another culture.
It was in this culture that the Church of the Province of Southern Afiica (Anglican) and the
diocese of Johannesburg found itself.
To be credible and true to its calling, this church in its social teachings taught against racism
on the grounds that it is anti-Christian and denies the essential truths of the gospel. However
a contradiction in its teachings presented itself. Racism came to be found to be alive in its life
and structures. The church came to not practice what it preached. Its practice did not follow
its theory.
For this church to be the church, racism needs to be purged from its life, practice and
structures. A new way of life in the church has to be created and followed. / M.Th. (Systematic Theology)

Confessionalidade a toda prova: o sínodo evangélico luterano do Brasil e a questão do germanismo e do nacional-socialismo alemão durante o governo de Getúlio Vargas no Brasil / Confessional at all costs: the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Brazil and the issue of Germanism and the German National Socialism during Getúlio Vargas government in BrazilMarlow, Sergio Luiz 09 August 2013 (has links)
A tese objetiva analisar a forma como o Sínodo Evangélico Luterano do Brasil (hoje Igreja Evangélica Luterana do Brasil), proveniente do Sínodo de Missouri dos Estados Unidos, se posicionou em relação a assuntos em evidência da década de 1940 no Brasil, como questões envolvendo o Germanismo e o Nacional Socialismo Alemão presentes entre teuto-brasileiros. Além disso, o Sínodo necessitou adaptar-se às novas imposições da Campanha de Nacionalização do Governo de Getúlio Vargas, que visava o abrasileiramento de todos os imigrantes e seus descendentes residentes em solo brasileiro. A análise dos pressupostos do Sínodo a respeito destas questões compreende a premissa da Confessionalidade Luterana que, no entender do Sínodo, expressa uma necessária separação entre Igreja e Estado. Através de um processo judicial que envolveu dois pastores do Sínodo, presos e condenados no que ficou registrado na história como a Trama Nazi-integralista de Cruz Alta, resgatamos a visão que as autoridades brasileiras da época possuíam do Sínodo Evangélico Luterano do Brasil, especialmente no que tange ao Germanismo e ao Nacional Socialismo. / This dissertation aims at analyzing the way in which the former Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Brazil (now Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil), originating from the Missouri Synod of the United States, took a stand in the 1940s as regards the then-current issues in Brazil, such as matters involving Germanism and the German National Socialism among Teuto-Brazilians. Besides that, the Synod needed to adapt itself to the new impositions of the Nationalization Campaign ordained by the government of Getúlio Vargas, which was meant to brazilianize all immigrants and their descendants living on Brazilian soil. The analysis of the assumptions held by the Synod on those issues encompasses the premise of Lutheran Confessionalism which as the Synod sees it spells a necessary separation of Church and State. Also, by looking into a lawsuit involving two Synod pastors who were arrested and convicted in what came to be historically termed as the Nazi-Integralist Plot of Cruz Alta/RS, we have retrieved the viewpoint Brazilian authorities of that time had on the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Brazil, especially concerning Germanism and the National Socialism.
