On August 17, 1961, Pope John XXIII appealed to religious communities in the United States to send ten-percent of their personnel to assist the Church in Latin America. Thousands answered his call. This unprecedented effort drew four members of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon to the village of Tamshiyacu in the jungles of Peru from 1966 to 1973. The purpose of this thesis ls to examine the experience of the sisters within the context of the total missionary effort and the religious changes affecting the Catholic Church in the United States and Latin America during the 1960/s.

The challenges of evangelizing the African Christian family in the light of 'Familiaris consortio'.

Bhasera, Michael D. January 2003 (has links)
This thesis falls under Missiology. Its main objective is to investigate the challenges of evangelizing the African Christian Family in the light of'Familiaris Consortio. J The thesis is unique by virtue of its contextualization. It targets the people who occupy Gokwe diocese, one ofthe eight dioceses in Zimbabwe. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The First Chapter looks at the location and family life in Gokwe diocese. In this chapter, special attention is given to the inhabitants of Gokwe diocese themselves, their social life, marriage, the influence of modernity on marriage and family life, the economic life of the people, their political life and some rituals which include belief in the veneration ofancestors and the kurova guva (bringing home) ceremony. It is in this same chapter that most of the challenges to evangelizing the African (Shona) Christian family in Gokwe diocese come out. Some of these include: polygamy, divorce, bridewealth, poverty, belief in ancestors and the kurova guva ceremony. The Second Chapter gives what the Church teaches on the theology of marriage and family life. It is in two main sections. The first section highlights some important points on God's plan for marriage and family life. The second and largest section emphasizes the role of the Christian family which is realized by fulfilling four main tasks, namely: forming a community of persons, serving life, participating in the development of society and sharing in the life and mission ofthe Church. The Third Chapter is an evaluation of the similarities and disparities between the theological! ecclesiological stance and the real family situation in Gokwe diocese. In a nutshell, it compares and contrasts the first and second chapters, bringing out the similarities and differences existing between the two. Community spirit, value of life, communion between the living and the dead, ethics and morality are among some notable similarities, whilst polygamy, divorce, position of women and attitude towards health and sickness are among the major disparities. The Fourth Chapter is practical in the sense that it seeks to offer some envisaged pastoral solutions and proposals to the already highlighted challenges and problems. Closest attention to the solutions is given to the available resources in the diocese of Gokw.e especially in the areas ofstages, structures and agents ofpastoral care for the family. The Fifth Chapter is a conclusion of the whole thesis. Basically it looks at what I have discovered throughout the whole thesis and offers some general conclusions according to 'Familiaris Consortio. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2003.

"Same country but different levels of church" : a comparative study of Christian missions in Zambia

Chishimba, Celestino Diamond 31 January 2007 (has links)
The thesis' discussion is by comparing Roman Catholic local Evangelisation in Western and Northern Provinces of Zambia with the focus on the Capuchins and White Fathers. Thus the thesis asserts with pastoral and missiological evidences that missionary activities carried by the capuchins and White Fathers occurred in a certain geographical, religious and sociological context. Hence faith encountered the culture of the Lozi and Bemba peoples in their given contextual milieu. As such this contextual milieu influenced their way of accepting Catholic faith inculcated in them by the early missionaries. As a matter of fact the two peoples received their catholic faith differently with the pointer to the way they responded to the teachings and doctrine of the church. This is exemplified in their levels of faith with the local church of Kasama having more Catholics compared to the local church of Mongu. Conclusively, early missionaries who came to evangelise Lozi and Bemba peoples had their original missionary impulse influenced by the Theology of mission, and to implantation of the church and the Church's teaching on missions. This theology contributed to the way they approached their evangelisation. Suffice to mention is the missionaries' differences in mentalities and cultural upbringing, compared to local people whom they encountered. White Fathers and Capuchins in their early evangelisation planted the seed of faith which has been received differently with the purpose and goal of making Christ and his message of, and invitation to, total human liberation known in both local churches of Kasama and Mongu. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.
