Text in English / This thesis is an attempt to investigate how local churches (re)define their international orientation in response to the shockwaves of globalisation and their interpretation of the signs of the times. The analysis is guided by the key dimensions of interdependence, responsibility, and partnership. The local church is expected to have reached an increasing awareness of interdependence in her international relationships by the emergence of the postmodern systemic paradigm as never before in the history of the ecumenical movement. Consequently, this results in a sense of responsibility developing directly from a prophetic reading and an interpretation of the signs of the times as well as in a receptivity to be fertilised by international impulses. The local church is perceived by both individual Christians and pastors as direct platform for international responsibility. The wounds of the world, the needy and the suffering are suggested as inviting primary responses of local churches in the North. International church partnerships are investigated as practical attempts to live out interdependent relationships, to translate the sense of responsibility into action, and to receive fertilisation from the partner churches. Qualitative case studies from Reformed, United (Lutheran/Reformed) and Free churches present a status analysis of churches regarding the points under discussion. The tendency is observed that pastors inc~easingly look for ways alternative to the old ecumenical structures, which are characterised by rich/poor and donor/recipient relationships, thus operating their churches with free initiative and association. Studies regularly narrow down topics to interdependence, postmodernism, development, development politics, church development services, international partnerships, ecumenical learning, etc. Often recommendations for action are made based on the one single area of research presented. In this study, however, it is argued that pastors and churches do not derive their decisions and programmes from considerations of one single area, but they consider all these areas together. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.

Vivir la Gracia de Dios: Un compromiso social metodista permanente. Contribuciones para la identidad del metodismo peruano. La primera parte aborda la manifestación de la Gracia de Dios en la teología wesleyana, sus aspectos centrales y como ésta va delineando la identidad metodista. La segunda parte pregunta por lo que caracteriza a la identidad metodista marcada por las obras de piedad y misericordia y que siendo medios de gracia, señales exteriores, Dios nos provee de ellas para nuestra formación espiritual personal y comunitaria. Como característica también es abordado el espíritu evangelizador como respuesta al mandato dado por nuestro Señor Jesucristo de ir y predicar el Evangelio a toda criatura. La tercera parte aborda la presencia metodista en el Perú. Desde sus orígenes, en el Siglo XIX con la presencia de las Sociedad Bíblica Británica y la Americana, el envío de misioneros colportores; el primer intento de establecer la Misión Metodista con William Taylor (1877-1887); el segundo y definitivo intento por establecer la obra metodista con Francisco Penzotti (1888-1889), el trabajo realizado por el Dr. Thomas B. Wood y la organización de la Misión Metodista, su aporte en el campo jurídico y educacional; el trabajo realizado por los primeros pastores metodistas peruanos como: José Q. Illescas, Manuel Noriega y Adolfo T. Vásquez. La organización de la Obra Misionera del periodo 1904-1939, el auge y desarrollo de la obra en el periodo 1940-1969. La autonomía de la Iglesia en 1970, realizándose cambios en la estructura de la misión y llegando a la Primera Asamblea Constituyente con la elección del primer obispo peruano, el Dr. Wenceslao Bahamonde. El auge de una iglesia autónoma que aprende a caminar con pies propios pero que no siempre vive la Gracia de Dios y entra en crisis de identidad y testimonio. La última parte finaliza con las contribuciones de la Iglesia Metodista para la sociedad peruana hoy a través de la obra educativa, la obra social, el compromiso ecuménico y los desafíos que como iglesia cristiana tenemos para la transformación de la sociedad peruana. Vivir la Gracia de Dios es un compromiso social metodista permanente y la Iglesia Metodista del Perú está llamada y desafiada a transformar la sociedad peruana, a compartir esa Gracia que recibió con aquellos que viven en desgracia, con aquellos a los que se les niega la Gracia de Dios diariamente. Vivir y compartir la Gracia de Dios hoy en el Perú es una misión impostergable. / Living the Grace of God: A permanent Methodist social commitment. Contributions to the identity of Peruvian Methodism. The first part addresses the manifestation of Gods Grace in Wesleyan theology, its core aspects and the way Grace delineates Methodist identity. The second part deals with the question of what characterizes the Methodist identity marked by charitable deeds and works of mercy, and the way these, as means of Grace and external signs, are provided by God for our own and our communitys spiritual formation. Another characteristic that is also addressed in this part is the evangelizing spirit as a response to the mandate given by our Lord Jesus Christ to go out and preach the Gospel to all creatures. The third part addresses the Methodist presence in Peru. From its origins in the Nineteenth Century with the presence of the British and American Biblical Societies, the sending of Colporteur missionaries; the first attempt to establish the Methodist Mission with William Taylor (1877-1887); the second and final attempt to establish the Methodist work with Francisco Penzotti (1888-1889), the work done by Dr. Thomas B. Wood and the organization of the Methodist Mission, his contribution in the legal and educational fields; the work done by the first Peruvian Methodist ministers such as José Q. Illescas, Manuel Noriega and Adolfo T. Vásquez. The organization of the Missionary Work during the 1904-1939 period, the full expansion and development of the organization during the 1940-1969 period. The churchs autonomy in 1970, with the first changes in the structure of the mission up to the holding of the First Constituent Assembly with the election of the first Peruvian bishop, Dr. Wenceslao Bahamonde. The heyday of an autonomous church that learns to walk on its own but not always lives the Grace of God and goes through a crisis of identity and testimony. The last part ends with the Methodist Churchs current contribution to the Peruvian society through educational and charitable work, as well as ecumenical commitment and the challenges that we are forced to face, as Christian church, for the transformation of the Peruvian society. Living the Grace of God is a permanent Methodist social commitment and the Methodist Church of Peru is called and challenged to transform the Peruvian society, to share the Grace that it received with those who live in disgrace, those who are denied the Grace of God on a daily basis. Living and sharing the Grace of God today in Peru is a mission that cannot be put off

A dissertação Fides ex auditu (Romanos 10.17) Primeiro a propaganda depois a fé O marketing interno como instrumento de missão na Igreja Evangélica de Confissão Luterana no Brasil (IECLB) surge a partir da inquietação oriunda do dia-a-dia de um obreiro do ministério pastoral. As assim chamadas Igrejas históricas, das quais a IECLB faz parte, enfrentam grandes dificuldades em manter o seu quadro de fiéis. Esta dificuldade em manter o quadro de fiéis é o assunto do primeiro capítulo. Através de duas pesquisas realizadas no âmbito da IECLB a suspeita de estagnação numérica, com forte tendência ao decréscimo, é comprovada. Os dois trabalhos analisados apontam a mesma direção, embora um apresente a questão em um âmbito nacional e outro traga índices de uma pequena cidade do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. A busca por ajuda chega ao campo do marketing. Desfazendo-se de preconceitos, busca-se uma aproximação com esta área do conhecimento humano. No entanto, antes de iniciar o diálogo é necessário que se respeite a cultura organizacional da instituição a qual ações de marketing possam vir a ser úteis. O segundo capítulo apresenta assim os pilares da Teologia Luterana. Sobre estes pilares está alicerçado o modo de ser Igreja da IECLB. Preconizando comunidades adultas, ações de marketing interno surgem com ações mais eficazes no momento. O terceiro capítulo apresenta o marketing enfocando de forma especial o marketing interno. Buscando avaliar a comunicação interna na IECLB, tema que o marketing interno reflete, foi realizada uma coleta de dados com lideranças desta Igreja. Os dados revelados são apresentados, bem como sua fundamentação e avaliação, no quarto capítulo. Igreja e marketing é um desafio! No diálogo bem orientado, com a ajuda oferecida pelo marketing, a Igreja pode tornar-se mais eficaz no modo de transmitir o que lhe é mais caro: o Evangelho do Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo. / The dissertation Fides ex auditu (Romans 10:17) Propaganda first, faith after The internal marketing as instrument of mission in the Evangelical Church of the Lutheran Confession in Brasil (ECLCB) arises from the uneasiness of the daily life of an Ordained Minister. The so called Historical Churches, to which group the ECLCB belongs, are facing great difficulties to keep their members. These difficulties to keep members is the issue of the first chapter. Through two researches taken in the ECLCB, the suspicion of numerical stagnation, even with strong tendency towards lowering numbers, is confirmed. The two researches analyzed point to the same, although one presents the question in a national view and the other brings numbers of a small town in the open country of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The search for help comes to the field of marketing. While taking out prejudices, we seek to draw nearer to this field of human knowledge. Yet, before we begin the dialog, it is necessary to respect the organizational culture of the institution to which marketing action might become useful. The second chapter presents, therefore, the pillars of the Lutheran Theology. It is on these pillars that the way of being of the ECLCB is laid upon. Thinking on adult congregations, internal marketing actions arise as the more efficient actions at the moment. The third chapter presents the theme of marketing, looking specially to internal marketing. Seeking to analyze the internal communication in the ECLCB, theme that the internal marketing reflects, it was collected information with various leaders of this church. What this data collection revealed is presented, along with its explanation and analysis, in the forth chapter. Church and marketing is a challenge! In a well directed dialog, with the help offered by the marketing, the Church can become more efficient in its way to communicate what is most precious: the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

[pt] A tensão já e ainda não em Oscar Cullmann e suas implicações e possibilidades para a missão da Igreja caracteriza-se por um trabalho de pesquisa que se desenvolve em perspectiva de diálogo entre a Escatologia e a Missiologia. O objeto principal de análise é o paradoxo temporal clássico da teologia conhecido por já e ainda não do Reino de Deus. O trabalho parte da pergunta pela natureza temporal da esperança do povo de Deus. Ele começa na Escritura, passa pela trajetória da Igreja através dos séculos e chega até os tempos atuais. Percebe-se como a expectativa pelo cumprimento das promessas de Deus alternou-se ao longo da história. Às vezes, a orientação pendia para uma ênfase futurista e celestial. Outras vezes, ela se concentrava em questões contemporâneas e terrenas. A reflexão descobre então, em Oscar Cullmann, uma proposta significativa para resolver o problema da polarização da temporalidade escatológica. Cullmann, a partir de sua exegese do Novo Testamento, vê como o Reino de Deus e suas promessas reivindicam uma dupla aplicação temporal, um aspecto já inaugurado na pessoa e obra de Jesus Cristo, já presente entre nós, e outro ainda não consumado, o qual é esperado para o futuro, para a parusia. Nascia o insight já e ainda não. Em seguida, esta dissertação vai mostrar como a tese escatológica de Cullmann foi recebida e reverberada por outros teólogos de seu tempo. E por último, esta reflexão conduz ao subtítulo deste trabalho, o qual busca explorar como a tensão já e ainda não informa a mensagem e afeta a postura missional da Igreja. / [en] The tension already and not yet in Oscar Cullmann - possibilities and implications to the mission of the Church – is a research that proposes a dialogue between the Eschatology and the Missiology, in which the main goal is to analyze the classic paradox in theology known as the already and the not yet of the Kingdom of God. The essay starts by exploring the question about the temporal nature of the hope that God s people have nurtured. It begins in the Scripture, passes through different epochs in the record of the Church up to the state of the issue in our days, perceiving how the people s expectation for the fulfillment of God s promises has alternated throughout history. Sometimes it displayed a more futuristic and celestial emphasis. In another period, it pointed to a more present-day and worldly orientation. The research discovers then, in Oscar Cullmann, a significant proposal to solve the dilemma of any eventual polarization. Cullmann, from his exegetical work in the New Testament, see how God s Kingdom and its promises have a double timing application: an aspect already inaugurated by the person and work of Jesus Christ, already present among us, and another not yet consumed, which is still awaited in the future, in the breakthrough of the parousia. Afterwards, this dissertation will show how Cullmann s thesis was received and reverberated across the thought of various theologians. And lastly, this reflection will focus in the dissertation subtitle, which seeks to address how the tension already and not yet informs the missional message and affects the missional attitude of the Church.

For this, we will analyze the documentation produced by the Regional churches in search of the justifications used for their recovery, and their real interests, linked, as we assume, the pursuit of conquest / maintenance of Catholic religious hegemony in the society of Eastern Northeast Brazil. Hegemony is undermined in successive decades of the Catholic aggiornamento implemented after the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), both for ad intra processes such as disorientation and loss of landmarks due to changes in the Catholic imagination, and for ad extra, as a result of secularization, migration, urbanization within states and penetration, more aggressive, churches and religious movements competing with the proposed Catholic. / Nosso estudo pretende mostrar como as Missões Populares, surgidas na idade moderna e adaptadas às circunstâncias atuais, valendo-se inclusive, das novas tecnologias de comunicação, vêm sendo novamente incentivada pela Igreja Católica como alternativa no resgate de costumes e valores sociais e religiosos perdidos nas últimas décadas, visando principalmente evitar a migração de fiéis para outras Igrejas e para os chamados novos movimentos religiosos . Para isso, analisaremos a documentação produzida pelas igrejas do Regional, em busca das justificativas usadas para sua retomada, e de seus reais interesses, ligados, segundo supomos, à busca da reconquista/manutenção da hegemonia religiosa católica na sociedade do Nordeste Oriental do Brasil. Hegemonia esta solapada, nos decênios sucessivos ao aggiornamento católico implantado após o Concílio Vaticano II (1962-1965), por processos tanto ad intra, tais como desnorteamento e perda de referências em função das mudanças no imaginário católico, quanto ad extra, resultantes da secularização, das migrações, da urbanização no interior dos estados e da penetração, cada vez mais agressiva, de igrejas e movimentos religiosos concorrentes com a proposta católica.

In this thesis the researcher has investigated which of the two concepts: believing before belonging or belonging before believing, is a more accountable perspective in regards to ministry in post-Christendom society. With the final stages of the modern period the power of hegemonic ideologies is coming to an end as people identify less with grand ideologies and more with subcultures related to technology and social and economic networks of different kinds. The post-Christendom phase has begun and is radically challenging Christendom notions of ministry. We have to assume that among post-Christians the familiarity with Christian concepts will fade as the decline of Christendom has meant that Christianity has been losing its status as a lingua franca, only to be understood in the long run, by those who are professing Christians. It is therefore important that the church will anticipate longer journeys towards faith and not move on to disciple new converts too quickly. Post- Christendom evangelization will consequently take longer, start further back and move more slowly. In the context of post-Christendom, knowledge of Christianity is rather limited and people need to come to an understanding of what Christianity entails. For those seekers, exploratory participation at first is safer than making a definite commitment. Postmodern society is also suspicious of institutions and eager to find whether Christian beliefs also work in practice and not only in theory. Therefore is belonging before believing very much necessary for seekers to test whether Christians live out in their communities what they claim to be true? / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.

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.

There is a great diversity of initiatives furthering unity among christians. Probably the most important ones are those of the World Council of Churches (WCC), the Roman Catholic Church as such and the Lausanne Movement of the Evangelicals. The "Runde Tisch" (=Round Table) brings together Austrian christians from all parts of the christian scenario as a new initiative towards unity. To find out, which of these initiatives is the most efficient, from a mission-strategical standpoint, this thesis develops the New Testament findings on the question of unity. Then, the 4 models are presented to finally be compared, to find out, where each one has its strengths and weaknesses. The Round Table Austria with its great width of christians involved, its theological profoundness and its leadership structure with proportional engagement of members from all present parts of the christian body is indeed quite close to the New Testament picture of unity. / Initiativen, die die Einheit unter Christen fördern gibt es sehr viele. Mit zu den wichtigsten zählen die des Weltkirchenrates (WCC), die Römisch-katholische Kirche als solche und die Lausanner Bewegung der Evangelikalen. Der Runde Tisch bringt in Österreich Christen aus allen Richtungen der Christenheit in eine neue Einheitsinitiative zusammen. Um nun herauszufinden, welche dieser Initiativen missionsstrategisch effizient ist, entfaltet diese Arbeit zunächst den neutestamentlichen Befund zur Frage der Einheit unter Christen. Dann werden die vier Modelle dargestellt und abschließend mit dem Ziel verglichen, herauszuarbeiten, wo die Stärken und Schwächen eines jeden Ansatzes liegen. Hierbei dient als Maßstab der Befund der neutestamentlichen Analyse. Der Runde Tisch Österreich liegt mit seinem breiten Spektrum an vertretenen Christen, seiner theologischen Tiefe und richtungsparitätischen Leitungsstruktur sehr nahe bei den neutestamentlichen Vorgaben zur Einheit unter Christen. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M.
