Encountering the Mbuti Pygmies : a challenge to Christian mission in the Democratic Republic of the CongoMusolo W'isuka Kamuha 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis explores the Mbuti Pygmies, a sub-group of the Pygmy peoples, one of the
main ethnic groups of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The Mbuti
Pygmies are settled mostly in the Ituri rainforest, and are, with regard to Christian
mission, still unreached and unchurched. The oversight of the churches vis-à-vis these
people is highlighted, through this thesis, as a challenge to Christian mission. This
challenge is a result of the way Christian mission is understood and undertaken in
DRC, namely in the selective and exclusive way of missioning, according to which
some peoples are targeted and others forsaken.
Churches in the DRC shy away from the Mbuti Pygmies probably because, on
the one hand, these forest dwellers belong to the group of Pygmies whose existence as
full human beings is enigmatic and very controversial. Because of the uniqueness of
the Pygmy peoples in terms of physical features, culture, and way of life, on the other
hand, the non-Pygmy peoples, including Christians, suffer from a kind of complex of
superiority that creates in them a spirit of discrimination against the Mbuti Pygmies.
As the Mbuti Pygmies are discriminated against even by Christians, it is very difficult
for them to be taken into account within the mission agendas of the churches. This
challenge to Christian mission is highlighted by two facts. Firstly, Christian mission is
designed for all the nations to which the Mbuti Pygmies belong. Secondly, the
churches, with their missional mandate to all the nations, shy away from the Mbuti
Pygmies as if these people were outside the scope of Christian mission and, thus,
unworthy of God’s grace and love.To remedy this challenge, with the aim of implementing Christian mission in
the DRC, this study suggests a missional encounter as a way forward to addressing the
Mbuti Pygmies. In practice, this may be implemented through the missionary
conversion, the right perception of the Mbuti Pygmies as being fully made in the
“image of God” and fully part of the “all nations”, promoting formal education among
the Mbuti Pygmies, and sustaining the churches by an integrated theological
education. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)

The challenge of industry challenges : the uneasy encounter between privacy protection and commercial expressionMiller, Danielle 09 1900 (has links)
En s’inspirant de l’exemple des défis corporatifs, c’est-à-dire, des initiatives déployées par les sociétés pour rendre le marché de l’emploi plus accessible aux membres de groupes perçus comme marginalisés, ce mémoire cherche à analyser le conflit qui pourrait surgir au Québec entre le droit à la vie privé, protégé notamment par la Loi sur la protection des renseignements personnels dans le secteur privé et la Loi sur la protection des renseignements personnels et des documents électroniques et le besoin croissant de l’entreprise d’utiliser les données privées de leurs employés pour vendre leurs biens et services.
Dans un premier temps, ce mémoire effectue un survol des régimes de protection de la vie privée des pays qui ont le plus influencé le droit québécois et canadien soit l’Europe, les États-Unis et le Royaume Uni en soulignant leur influence sur le régime en vigueur au Québec. Dans un second temps, il soulève les entraves que posent la LPRPS et la LPRPDE à la participation de l’entreprise aux défis corporatifs. Dans un troisième temps, il explore des pistes possibles à la fois interprétatives, législatives et contentieuses afin de rendre ces lois plus accommodantes aux besoins de l’entreprise. / This essay uses the example of Industry Challenges - a technique deployed by companies to promote the hiring and advancement of certain members of society - to explore a conflict that could arise in Quebec between the individual’s right to privacy as protected by An Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information In the Private Sector and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act , and that of an organisation to use personal information relating to its workforce to market itself. It briefly reviews privacy protection in jurisdictions with the greatest legal influence on Quebec and Canada: the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom (Chapter 2). It demonstrates how a blend of these influences is reflected in the Quebec and Canadian approaches to privacy and how existing privacy legislation might prevent a company from effectively and efficiently responding to Industry Challenges (Chapter 3). Finally, the last two chapters respectively explore the interpretive and legislative amendments that could be made to PPIPS and PIPEDA to enable companies to respond to Industry Challenges (Chapter 4) as well as the possible legal action a company could take on the ground that Quebec’s privacy legislation violates its right to express itself commercially under s. 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Chapter 5).
