Pentecostalism has always been regarded as a movement that does not have all the ecclesiastical qualities that qualify it to be called a fully-fledged tradition alongside other major streams of Protestantism. Contrary to popular theologies that undermine the great role that the Pentecostal tradition can play in the global church, modern Pentecostal theologies agree that most of the misconceptions and assumption are misplaced because the Pentecostal tradition is a rich tradition with vital elements and symbols necessary to advance the ecumenical goal of unity and reconciliation. Based on this perception that Pentecostal ecclesiology is ecumenical, this research critically analyses Pentecostal ecclesiology as portrayed by Kärkkäinen in order to determine its ecumenicity or relevance to the ecumenical goals of unity, tolerance and reconciliation. This research confronts the paternalistic assumptions and misconception that regard Pentecostalism as simply a superstitious and naive sect which is only relevant to the lower class by bringing out the different elements and symbols within the tradition that are vital for the success and development of the global church in a modern global context. Some of the critical elements and symbols within the Pentecostal tradition that are explored within this study include÷ unity in diversity, the mission nature of the church, experiences of the Spirit as portrayed in its Pneumatological Christology and Soteriology, its rapid adaptation to new global south contexts and critical elements of inclusivity and plurality as portrayed in the foundations of the tradition. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology

A partir da contextualização do desenvolvimento da reflexão teológica ecumênica latino-americana e brasileira, liderada por setores do protestantismo histórico de missão, este trabalho pretende analisar as razões que proporcionaram o nascimento de uma nova linguagem teológica protestante neste contexto. Esta linguagem teológico-ética, radicalmente moderna, histórica e secular, tornou-se responsável por impulsionar setores do protestantismo à afirmação de um projeto político-religioso alternativo, voltado para a tarefa de humanização da vida. As lutas pela humanização da vida eram entendidas, do ponto de vista teológico, como manifestações, configurações históricas da forma (Gestalt) da graça. Nesta tarefa analítica, especial atenção é dada à teologia ética de Richard Shaull. Esta linguagem teológica, construída a partir da contextualização das discussões em torno à temática da responsabilidade social promovidas pelo Conselho Mundial de Igrejas (CMI), deu lugar a uma nova forma de relacionamento entre religião e sociedade, fé e política. Foi a partir desta história ecumênica que surgiram organismos ecumênicos como o movimento Igreja e Sociedade na América Latina (ISAL), o Centro Ecumênico de Informação (CEI), e o Centro Ecumênico de Documentação e Informação (CEDI). Estes organismos foram uma consequência, em maior ou menor grau, direta desse movimento de renovação teológica. Neste sentido, eles são representantes de uma práxis ecumênica ampla, que se compromete com os desafios da sociedade e com a tarefa de construção democrática do Brasil.

From the contextualization of Latin American and Brazilian ecumenical theological reflection development, led by sectors of the historical Protestantism of mission, this work aims to analyze the reasons that contributed to the birth of a new Protestant theological language in this context. This theological-ethical language, radically modern, historical and secular, became responsible for promoting sectors of the Protestantism to the affirmation of an alternative political-religious project, aimed at the task of the humanization of life. The struggles of the humanization of life were understood, from the theological point of view, as manifestations, historical configurations of the form (Gestalt) of grace. In this analytical task, particular attention is given to the ethical theology of Richard Shaull. This theological language, constructed from the contextualization of discussions around the theme of social responsibility, promoted by the World Council of Churches (WCC), has given place to a new form of relationship between religion and society, faith and politics. It was from this ecumenical history that ecumenical organizations like the movement of Church and Society in Latin America (ISAL), the Ecumenical Information Center (CEI), and the Ecumenical Center of Documentation and Information (CEDI) emerged. These organisms were a direct consequence, to a great or less extent, of this movement of theological renewal. In this sense they are representatives of a broad ecumenical praxis, which is committed to the challenges of society and with the task of the democratic construction in Brazil. This research, rescuing the unfolding history of the birth of a critical Protestant consciousness, is an analysis of the Brazilian ecumenical praxis and its theological elements in which it is based.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This study entails an historical investigation of how the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) has addressed the ecumenical tension between ecclesiology and ethics in its history between 1963 and 2013. The study is arguably the first comprehensive analysis of the history of the AACC focussing on ecclesiology and ethics and will therefore make an original contribution to ecumenical theology in Africa in this regard. The study argues that the tension between what the church is (read: ecclesiology) and what it does (read: ethics) has undeniably been present in the ecumenical movement in Africa. The study is situated within two concentric contexts. Firstly, it is located within the context of the WCC study project on ecclesiology and ethics that was conducted during the period 1992 to 1996 and will contribute to wider discourse in this regard. The WCC project was an attempt to bridge a deep divide in the ecumenical movement between those who emphasise that the way to unity is through doctrinal agreement and those who believe that “doctrine divides” while a common moral cause (service) may unite. Secondly, this study is aimed at discerning how the AACC has addressed the relationship between the theological quest for unity (read: ecclesiology) and the social responsibility of the church (read: ethics). The study examines how the AACC assisted its member churches to respond to contemporary challenges in three distinct periods in recent African history, namely the periods of decolonisation (1963-1974), development (1975-1992) and neo-liberal globalisation (1993-2013). The hypothesis of this study is that these periods correlate with the AACC’s ways of negotiating the tension between ecclesiology and ethics. The study argues that although the AACC has privileged the social agenda of the church in society (read: ethics), the ecumenical quest for ecclesial unity (read: ecclesiology) has not been completely absent. While the study acknowledges that the tension between ecclesiology and ethics is not easily resolved, it affirms that these two ecumenical concerns are inseparable. The study therefore suggests an appropriation of the African notion of ubuntu as a horizon for ecclesiology and ethics. The intuition behind the proposal is that ubuntu resonates with biblical notions of koinonia and diakonia and is thus an apt notion for an articulation of the interconnectedness between ecclesiology and ethics. The study is divided into two parts, comprising eight chapters. The first part covers four chapters in which I offer an historical background to the modern ecumenical movement, an analysis of the ecclesiology and ethics debate in the wider ecumenical context and a brief institutional history of the AACC. The second part of the study comprises three chapters. Therein, I present a critical analysis of the AACC’s handling of the tension between ecclesiology and ethics in the period 1963-2013. Each chapter describes and analyses the various ways in which the AACC addressed the tension between the theological quest for the visible unity of the church on the one hand (read: ecclesiology) and the social responsibility of the church (read: ethics) on the other in specific socio-historical contexts. The hypothesis of the study is confirmed on the basis of such analysis. This study contributes to discourse in African theology on authenticity (read: ecclesiology) as expressed in theologies of inculturation and indigenisation and on social relevance (read: ethics) as expressed in theologies of liberation and reconstruction. It further contributes to academic reflection on the history of the ecumenical movement in Africa and the quest for an appropriate ecumenical vision on the African continent amidst the tensions between mainline churches, independent churches (AICs) and a variety of Pentecostal churches and the many social challenges that churches have to address. / Sakupapa, T.C.

本論文旨在通過以合一運動視角詮釋香港基督教史，輔以八十年代香港教會使命諮詢會議之個案，分析香港基督教在建構香港身份認同過程的參與與貢獻，以說明香港基督教為香港社會的重要成員，香港基督教史研究亦為幫助我們了解香港歷史不可忽視的重要領域。 / 本研究說明基督教與香港社會、政治、經濟及地理等因素的互相摩擦與接觸，使基督教在香港歷史發展上，進入一個既交錯又融匯的混雜局面，並期望通過歷史研究，發掘普世教會合一運動的基督教傳統與本土香港基督教相遇的過程，從而綜述其中的變化與香港基督教教會本土化的獨特經驗。 / 本文以八十年代香港教會使命諮詢會議為個案進行研究。該個案承繼了香港社會及教會在六、七十年代的種種發展，又延伸了香港社會及教會在九十年代甚至二十一世紀的各項討論，實有承先啟後的重要作用。並且，該個案其中的歷史變化及特點，均深刻地反映了香港對國際社會與中國的回應，饒有研究價值。二十世紀八十年代，香港社會急劇轉變。1984年中英聯合聲明草簽，九七主權轉移問題隨即成為香港人的核心討論。香港人心主權誰屬還是一個不確定的疑問。 八十年代的香港，無論在政治、經濟以及社會等方面，都進入空前特殊的時代。本研究即以香港基督教協進會所主辦的八十年代香港教會使命諮詢會議作為一個瞭解八十年代初香港教會的窗口。 / 在1980年11月17-20日，約有120位教會代表參加「八十年代香港教會使命諮詢會議」，除了會員教會和機構派員參加外，還有天主教及福音派教會和團體的代表參與，顯示該會議促進合一的努力和特性。各工作小組就每一項宣教議程進行商討及思考，然後提出建議，以供各教會參考之用。五項議程為向低薪市民傳福音、向學生傳福音、對國內基督徒關懷、對公共政策釐訂的參予及對市民心態的影響。由於1984年中英聯合聲明簽署，九七問題的迫近，協進會突破十年一次舉行香港教會諮詢會議的常規，提前在該會三十二週年的紀念日，即1986年1月19至22日舉行「八十年代中期香港教會使命諮詢會議」，不單視為八十年代諮詢會議的延續和檢討，更是對九七問題的急切回應，可見諮詢會議為香港教會和香港社會、政治、經濟合一的媒介之一。通過以上的會議，我們從香港教會普世合一運動的高峰、福音派和主流派的合作和了解、與殖民政府和中國關係的改變，以及教會對公共事務的實際參與等方面，來刻畫八十年代初香港教會與社會的面貌，從而說明教會普世運動在香港發展的獨特性，以及香港在回應國際與中國之際的本土社會變化。 / 最後，本研究從殖民、中國人、基督徒以及香港人等四個身份，說明香港基督教在建構香港身份認同過程中的角色與意義，以論證香港基督教在香港社會為不可或缺的部份，而香港基督教歷史研究亦是香港研究中不容忽視的部份。 / The thesis of my research is to articulate the crucial role of Christianity in the development of Hong Kong society through the reinterpretation of the history of Hong Kong Christianity in the ecumenical perspective. / Hong Kong church is an impetus for the sustainable development of Hong Kong society. The guiding principles of the ecumenical theology are one of the facilitators for the church to react with the political, economic and social development of Hong Kong. In my research, I will scrutinize the special ecumenical way of thinking. From that knowledge and sense of right and wrong, the church accelerated a lot of critical and significant decisions all the way through the history of Hong Kong. Prominently, it is a brand new perspective to study the role of church in Hong Kong history. There is no other work had been done on the history of Hong Kong Christianity in the ecumenical perspective. I aspire that we could gain a lot of new knowledge and ideas from this ecumenical perspective. / My research will examine the history of Hong Kong in the eighties in particular. Hong Kong went through drastic changes in the period. Politically, we faced the issue of sovereignty handover. Economically, we met the gigantic development in the property and stock market. Socially, we encountered extreme disparity between the rich and the poor. We are in the kairos (decisive moment of our time) of the history. The Hong Kong Christian Council had launched series of seminars and conferences throughout the eighties. The most influential conference is the mission consultation conference of the church in Hong Kong in the eighties. My research will examine this conference deeply and analyze the relationship between the church and the development of Hong Kong. I endeavor to give the reader a point of view of this rich and condense Hong Kong history in the eighties. / Nowadays, Hong Kong is in the very moment after the return to China. We are still searching for Hong Kong identity. We are still struggling for the better and more suitable way of living politically, economically and socially. Our history is our power. History is a mirror serving as an insight for us to measure our future. My research is intent to shine the Hong Kong history in an alternative perspective. I believe that we will lost in reflection from our heritage and empower for our future. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 湯泳詩. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 137-179). / Electronic reproduction.

Text in German / The present work deals with the historical and theological foundations of radical evangelicalism and places it within the context of theologies which influenced it and are similar to it. Radical evangelicalism integrates insights from various theological roots into a evangelical basal concept. Radical theology succeeded, through its contextual outworking, in overcoming the narrow focus of European evangelical theology and yet it remains genuinely evangelical. It is in the position of breaking through the sterility of academic theology and the dualistic worldview which is peculiar to wide parts of the evangelical movement by a world view that is turned towards the world. Thus it is proving itself to be a highly relevant theology for the needs of a divided world. The work develops in three steps. First of all the historical development of radical evangelicalism will be traced, from its beginning at the Congress for world evangelism in Lausanne in 1974 to the present day. Thus it will become clear that in the 30 years since Lausanne radical theology has entered the mainstream of evangelicalism. There follows in a detailed section a setting out of the theology of radical evangelicalism by means of several chosen themes. It will deal with radical hermeneutics, eschatology, salvation, the meaning of mission and evangelism and the relationship between Gospel and culture. Finally the social action of radical evangelicalism will be set out and it will be demonstrated that its energetic theology is at its basic level in fact a driving sprituality. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th.

Annotation: The thesis Roman Catholic Church and the ecumenical movement since the end of II. World War II until the end of the pontificate of John Paul II. discusses the efforts that were made in Roman Catholic Church toward the ecumenical movement after World War II. The content of this thesis describes different pontificates, characteristics of popes and their impact on ecumenism. It also gives the definition of the ecumenical movement and its development. In the third chapter, this thesis analyzes II. Vatican Council and its ecumenical approchement with the terms of the Roman Catholic Church with other Christian churches.

L’affirmation de l’Église « Une » comme une réalité présente dans l’histoire fait partie de la tradition catholique. Après la naissance du mouvement œcuménique, Yves Congar (1904-1995) introduit dans la théologie catholique le principe ecclésiologique de l’œcuménisme. Il s’agit de penser la vie chrétienne des autres baptisés à partir de leurs Communions. Pour mettre en évidence ce principe herméneutique, cette thèse étudie sa portée théologique dans l’œuvre congarienne (1931 à 1954), se penche sur sa réception dans le décret sur l’œcuménisme Unitatis Redintegratio (1964), dans l’encyclique Ut Unum Sint (1995) et dans quelques documents récents, avant de proposer son inscription dans une théologie de l’ Église structurée à partir de l’institutionnalité de la grâce, située dans une perspective eschatologique. / The assertion of the Church as “One” present throughout history is part of the Roman Catholic tradition. After the appearance of the ecumenical movement, Yves Congar (1904-1995) introduces the ecclesiological principle of ecumenism in catholic theology. The idea is to think of the Christian life of the other baptized based on their Communion. To emphasize this hermeneutics’ principle, this thesis studies its theological impact on the congarian work (1931-1954) and ponders over its reception within the decree on ecumenism Unitatis Redintegratio (1964), within the encyclical Ut Unum Sint (1995) as well as in recent documents. It will also lead on to suggesting its recording in one theology of the Church structured by the institutionalization of grace in an eschatological perspective.
