This study describes and analyses lay training programmes at Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation (MEF) with emphasis on: Women's Training; Conference, Research and Development; and Youth Leadership. Mindolo is seen as an expression of the church's presence in society and a symbol of hope, peace and reconciliation. Lay training programmes at Mindolo aim at equipping Christians to act as 'leaven', salt and 'light' in society. The values and morals of the African people could be the basis of such teaching. The study discusses how the term 'laity' has negative implications such as regarding the laity as non-competent or specialist because they are not priests or theologians. It illustrates that although the majority of Christians are women, leadership in the church is dominated by men. The study illustrates how critical it is for Mindolo to evaluate its original vision in light of current challenges and promises. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / MA (Religious Studies)

This City should be inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, in accordance with SDG11. In this way, this work proposes to analyze the evolution of the right to housing, from the right to human settlements to the right to the city, through the analysis of the three UN-Habitat Conferences, which deal with the subject, and the deployment of these Conferences in Brazilian legislation, with a special focus on the My House My Life Program, the main Brazilian housing policy, which was the basis of a comparison between the Brazilian reality and the international legal order on housing. / Com o advento da Nova Agenda Urbana, a Organiza??o das Na??es Unidas (ONU) passou a tratar a moradia n?o somente como o espa?o f?sico que abriga uma fam?lia, mas como o espa?o f?sico inserido em um contexto maior: o contexto da cidade, consolidando, assim, o direito ? cidade. Cidade essa que deve ser includente, segura, resiliente e sustent?vel, nos termos do ODS11. Dessa forma, esse trabalho se prop?s a analisar a evolu??o do direito ? moradia, desde o direito a assentamentos humanos at? o direito ? cidade, por meio da an?lise das tr?s Confer?ncias da ONU-Habitat, que tratam sobre o tema, e os desdobramentos dessas Confer?ncias na legisla??o brasileira, com especial enfoque para o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, principal pol?tica habitacional brasileira, que foi base de uma compara??o entre a realidade brasileira e o ordenamento jur?dico internacional sobre moradia.

In order to reach this goal, the text presents an overview of the socio-political-economic-ecclesial elements encountered in the two Conferences of the Latin American Episcopate. At the same time, the research focuses on the content of the final documents of these Conferences. Aware of the context and content of the documents of the two conferences it is reported what appears to them as guidelines for the use of the Bible. It also presents how these orientations reverberate ideas that, ultimately, go back to Vatican II. Finally, a parallel between the two is sought to give evidence of the continuity and discontinuity regarding guidelines for the use of the Holy Bible. The perspective of this research approach is of literature review. The text is written trying to contribute historical and theological elements implicit presents in the conclusions of Medellin and Puebla conferences with the purpose of consummating the proposed parallel / A presente pesquisa faz um paralelo entre as Conferências de Medellín e Puebla no que diz respeito ao uso pastoral da Bíblia. Para atingir esse objetivo o texto apresenta uma panorâmica dos elementos sócio-político-econômico-eclesial que secundavam as duas Conferências do Episcopado Latino Americano. Ao mesmo tempo a pesquisa detém-se em apontar o conteúdo dos documentos conclusivos das Conferências. Cientes do contexto e do conteúdo dos documentos das duas conferências é relatado o que delas depreende-se como orientações para o uso da Bíblia. Apresenta-se, ainda, como essas orientações fazem reverberar ideias que, em última análise, remontam ao Vaticano II. Faz-se por fim, um paralelo entre ambas buscando evidenciar continuidade e descontinuidade no que diz respeito as orientações para o uso da bíblia. A perspectiva de abordagem desta pesquisa é a de revisão de literatura. O texto é escrito tentando aportar elementos históricos e teológicos implícitos nas conclusões de Medellín e Puebla com a finalidade de consumar o paralelo proposto

[pt] O trabalho apresentado nas páginas seguintes é o resultado de uma pesquisa sobre as Conferências Internacionais sobre População e Desenvolvimento (Cairo, 1994) e sobre o status da mulher (Beijing, 1995). Para melhor entender os discursos proferidos pelos atores internacionais nos dois eventos, apresento uma breve discussão histórica sobre a mulher. Inicio o trabalho pela Idade Média, quando a religião servia de fundamento para a exclusão da mulher do plano político. Abordo também o período renascentista, em que Estado e conhecimento racional eram usados como justificativas para o afastamento da mulher do espaço público. Descrevo, ainda, de maneira sintética, os diferentes fundamentos teóricos do feminismo. Trato da globalização da vida social como um fator que aumenta a participação das mulheres na arena política. O feminismo internacional é abordado no contexto da globalização a partir das duas Conferências Internacionais que analiso. Dessa forma, ao analisar a interação das feministas com os demais atores políticos no espaço internacional, pretendo apresentar o feminismo como uma relevante dimensão da política internacional contemporânea. / [en] The work presented in the following pages is the result of a Research on the International Conferences on Population and Development (Cairo, 1994) and on Women (Beijing, 1995). In order to provide a better understanding of the discourses by international actors in both Conferences, I present a historical overview on the category of -woman-. I start in the Middle Age, when the religion was the foundation for excluding woman from the political space. Then, I talk about Renaissance, when - State- and -rational knowledge- were used to put women aside from political action. I also present a brief description of the different approaches on feminism.I discuss the globalization of social life as factor that increases women`s participation in the political arena. So, I analyse the feminism movement in the context of the International Conferences of Cairo and Beijing. By doing this work, I intend to contribute to the understanding of international politics nowadays, as well as to point the relevance of feminism as an international actor.

Aquesta Societat volia assolir l'objectiu d'incloure Barcelona i per extensió tota Catalunya dins dels circuits europeus de turisme. Creia que el turisme era una forma de modernitzar Catalunya, a més d'una manera d'enriquir-la cultural i econòmicament. I naturalment el referent era Europa perquè representa el desenvolupament industrial, i molt particularment França, que es el mirall on es vol que Catalunya es vegi reflectida, ja que era un dels països que més es preparava pel foment del turisme. Això provocà que conflueixin en aquesta Societat personatges molt compromesos amb aquesta idea de modernització i que bastants estiguessin propers a l'ideari de la Lliga Regionalista de Catalunya. La rellevància d'aquesta Societat es fomentar el turisme quan pocs creien en aquesta activitat, quan tot estava per fer, i emmarcar-la dins d'un projecte més global de modernització de l'economia catalana. / This society aimed at including Barcelona and, by extension, all of Catalonia, within European tours. It believed that tourism was a way to modernise Catalonia in addition to enriching it financially and culturally speaking. It goes without saying that the referent was Europe, envisaged as a symbol of industrial development, and particularly France, which became the mirror on which Catalonia wanted to reflect its own image as it was one of the countries that was already excelling in tourist promotion. This would explain why the society gathered together a number of important people that showed a commitment towards this idea of modernisation, some of them with ideas particularly close to the ideology of the Regionalist League of Catalonia. The importance of this society was the role it played in tourist promotion at a time when only a few believed in the power of this relatively-new practice and to include it within a more general project of modernisation of the Catalan economy.

This study attempts to be an exhaustive analysis of the dynamics of developing sustained church planting movements in Asian nations, based on lessons learned in the 2004-2005 NEXT conferences in East Asia. Principles are being discovered and methodologies developed in East Asia on how to build sustained church planting movements around the world. To understand these, consolidate learning, and apply that learning in a variety of crosscultural ministry contexts, a series of conferences were hosted by my wife and myself. Eight week-long ”NEXT conferences” were held, consisting of sixty experienced strategy coordinators plus eleven regional supervisors, to wrestle with these issues. This paper is based on the findings of these conferences; specifically, that there are divine principles and particular methodologies which enable missionaries to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in developing sustained church planting movements that saturate ethno-linguistic people groups and cities of Asia, and ultimately, the rest of the world. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology) / M.Th.

The research problem is whether and how they contribute to guarantee public involvement in the management of the Defender, taking into account the study on the implementation or not of guidelines developed by the population during the conduct of I, II and III Cycles of Conferences and understanding the different voices that the actors have in relation to the Conferences. The conclusion is that the Conferences were not absorbed evenly by the institution as an important mechanism guiding institutional priorities, able to vocalize people's wishes, airing the institution, and collaborating with the construction of public policies aligned to the demands of the population. It´s musty to be agreed and clarified the nature of the proposals made in the Conferences (deliberative or consultative) under penalty of participatory mechanism in question losing the popular adherence. / O objetivo desta dissertação é estudar os Ciclos de Conferências da Defensoria Pública do Estado de São Paulo para entender qual papel eles desempenham em relação a participação popular na gestão da Defensoria Pública. O problema de pesquisa consiste em verificar se e como elas contribuem para garantir a participação social dentro da gestão da Defensoria, levando em consideração o estudo sobre a implementação ou não das diretrizes elaboradas pela população durante a realização dos I, II e III Ciclos de Conferências e a compreensão das diferentes falas que os atores tem em relação aos Ciclos de Conferências. A conclusão é a de que os Ciclos de Conferências não foram absorvidos de forma homogênea pela instituição como um importante mecanismo orientador das prioridades institucionais, capaz de vocalizar os anseios da população, arejando a instituição, e colaborando com a construção de políticas públicas alinhadas às demandas da população. É necessário que seja pactuado e esclarecido o caráter das propostas elaboradas nas Conferências (caráter deliberativo ou consultivo) sob pena do mecanismo participativo em questão perder aderência popular.

Most recent studies of Cassian and his writings have examined the monk’s historical contexts, the theology expressed in his texts or his role in the development of monasticism. This dissertation examines the spirituality of Cassian and assesses its value to contemporary Christian communities. By applying a hermeneutical approach to the study of Cassian’s texts, the investigation distinguishes between the spirituality of Cassian, the historical person; the spirituality Cassian conveys in his writings; and Cassian’s spirituality as lived experience. The dissertation argues that Cassian’s spirituality as lived experience, as elicited by Gadamer’s hermeneutical model of conversation between text and interpreter, is valuable to contemporary Christian communities. It offers a spiritual ‘route map’ that can inspire, encourage and guide members of such communities on a spiritual journey that leads to greater intimacy with, and faithfulness to, Christ. The hermeneutical process necessary to appropriate the spirituality of Cassian as lived experience has the potential to dismantle prejudgements and attitudes of superiority and triumphalism often displayed by Christian communities and encourage fresh engagement with the history, traditions and Scriptures of the Church. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.

The purpose of this Programme is to encourage educational experiences that will help prepare for a qualitative leap in the creation of principles directed at preserving the environment. The programme proposes to construct a permanent environmental education process in public schools through a range of actions, with emphasis on the organization of Conferences on Environmental Education for Children and Youths. The third edition of this conference, held in Ceará in 2008, along with the delegates representing Ceará during the regional, national and international stages, is the main object of the study. We investigated how the students have assimilated skills and experiences in environmental education and increased their representativeness in their respective schools and communities. Their observed involvement in environmental education activities reflected the importance of the Programme to their learning process. Our approach was qualitative in order to relate events to human processes, highlighting potential interactions. With the help of questionnaires, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and free observations, information was collected and entered in a field diary. The results were analyzed using collective subject discourse in order to evaluate the representativeness of the children and adolescents in their respective schools and communities. Our study revealed changes in the studentsʼ attitudes towards their daily routine and their interaction with others and the environment as a result of their participation in the Programme. / A presente pesquisa avalia os efeitos do Programa do Ministério da Educação e do Meio Ambiente: Vamos Cuidar do Brasil com as Escolas, que foi lançado em 2004, visando estimular a realização de experiências que promovam um salto qualitativo na formação de princípios direcionados à preservação do meio ambiente. Referido programa se propôs a construir um processo permanente de Educação Ambiental na escola através de várias ações com destaque para a realização das Conferências Infanto Juvenis pelo Meio Ambiente. A III Conferência é o principal alvo dessa pesquisa, focada na atuação dos delegados que representaram o Ceará nas fases Estadual, Nacional e Internacional. O foco foi investigar como estes jovens percorreram os caminhos da Educação Ambiental, buscando uma trajetória de representatividade junto a sua escola/comunidade. A observação do engajamento desses jovens em projetos e ações de Educação Ambiental mostrou o quanto o programa em análise contribuiu para a sua caminhada. Quanto à metodologia, trabalhou-se com a abordagem qualitativa, tendo em vista que esta busca relacionar os acontecimentos aos processos humanos numa relação de interação entre as partes. Foram usadas diferentes estratégias, como o questionário, a entrevista em profundidade, o grupo focal e a observação livre, utilizando como instrumento o diário de campo. As informações foram analisadas a partir do método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, na tentativa de se perceber a representatividade desses jovens junto a sua escola/comunidade. Os resultados apontam mudanças de atitude por parte dos jovens no seu cotidiano, na convivência com as outras pessoas e com o meio ambiente, mudanças estas, influenciadas pela sua participação no programa.
