De tout temps et dans toutes les sociétés l’homme dès qu’il accède à un emploi, organise sa vie pour acquérir des biens mobiliers et immobiliers afin d’en jouir de son vivant et de pouvoir les transmettre ensuite à ses héritiers après sa mort. Au CONGO le droit de succéder au de cujus était d’abord réglé selon les coutumes ; dans la partie Nord l’héritage se transmettait en se fondant sur le patriarcat qui reconnaissait la qualité d’héritier aux enfants, tandis que dans le Sud du pays où l’on pratiquait le matriarcat, les enfants considérés comme étrangers à leur père étaient exclus de sa succession. Ces règles ont survécu à l’influence du colonisateur si bien qu’après l’indépendance les congolais avaient une option entre le droit coutumier et le droit moderne français. Mais cette dualité a été une source de difficultés. Dans un souci de cohésion nationale le législateur congolais a unifié le droit successoral dans la Loi n° 073/ du 17 Octobre 1984 portant Code de la Famille. Nous traiterons ce sujet en trois parties : la première partie examinera les dispositions relatives à la dévolution de la succession, la seconde partie analysera les règles qui régissent la transmission et la liquidation de la succession et enfin la troisième partie montrera les problèmes rencontrés dans l’application du Code de la Famille. / All the time and in all societies when man accesses a job, he organizes his life to acquire movable and immovable property. In order to enjoy his life and then to bequeath to his heirs after his death. In CONGO the law to succeed to the deceased is first governed according to the customs. In the northern part, inheritance was passed on the basis of patriarchy recognized children as heirs. Whereas in the south the matriarchy was practiced, children was considered as foreigner to their father, they were excluded from the succession. These rules have survived the influence of the colonizer, after independence Congolese had a choice between the customary law and modern law. But this duality has been a source of difficulties. With a view to social cohesion the Congolese legislator unified the law of succession in the public law 073 of October 17, 1984 concerning family code. We will treat this subject in three parts: the first part will examine the provisions for the devolution of the estate, the second part will analyze the rules that govern the transmission and liquidation of the estate. Finally the third part will show the problems encountered in the implementation of the Code of Family.

The scope of this thesis is the investigation of the nature and purpose of Christian worship with specific reference to its development in the Southern Congo United Methodist Church. The study combines three main sources of information - namely, the study of key theological concepts (chapter 3), the Holy Bible (chapter 4), and the investigation by questionnaires (chapter 6) - in order to address the issue of improving the worship and Christian life style for the contemporary Christian church within the Congolese context. Christian worship has been defined as a twofold event involving God's initiative in and through Jesus Christ, and men and women's response towards God's saving acts through the same Mediator, Jesus Christ. Seeing that the unchangeable Gospel relates to each culture, it is argued in this thesis that Congolese cultural values (local clergy, local languages, art forms, and other cultural elements) could be an integral part of worship. This long and slow process of incarnating the Christian message into the Congolese context could result in finding original and meaningful expressions of the Christian faith in the African context. Insights are drawn from the research to offer theological and pragmatic guidelines. In fact, it is suggested that the integration of Congolese cultural elements should be monitored by a Theological Commission at the congregational level, the district level, and the Annual Conference level. Furthermore, the last section of the last chapter provides helpful suggestions in dealing with practical issues with regard to the overall management of the Southern Congo United Methodist Church.
