This dissertation examines the use made of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator in the pastoral work of Anglican Clergy. The practical theological focus of the study is reflection on praxis. Various theories of pastoral work are discussed. The history and development of the MBTI is given as well as the Jungian background to it. A qualitative research, grounded theory approach, is utilised. Interviews of 14 Anglican clergy generate the data for the research. The research questions are: "Why do Anglican clergy use the MBTI?"; "How do Anglican clergy use the MBTI?" The research findings show that Anglican clergy use the MBTI for the purpose of personal growth, clergy self-care, and understanding relationships. Anglican clergy attend workshops which encourage the application of MBTI insights in pastoral work. / Practical Theology / M Th. (Practical theology)

La synodalité paraît être aujourd’hui un thème très actuel, tant pour le dialogue théologique bilatéral entre les Églises catholique et orthodoxe, qu’à l’intérieur de chaque Église. Le pontificat du pape François a mis l’accent sur la synodalité et l’Église orthodoxe vient de réaliser son Grand et Saint Concile (Crète, juin 2016). Le Concile Vatican II en 1964 a promulgué la doctrine de la collégialité épiscopale (les évêques constituent un collège qui succède au collège des Douze Apôtres), doctrine qui devait rapprocher les ecclésiologies catholique et orthodoxe. Cependant, les théologiens orthodoxes ne se sont pas retrouvés dans cette doctrine. Cinquante ans après sa promulgation, on remarque par ailleurs que la mise en œuvre de la collégialité épiscopale dans l’Église catholique est plutôt limitée. Cette étude a tenté de confronter les notions de collégialité épiscopale et de synodalité épiscopale, en vue d’une compréhension commune, entre catholiques et orthodoxes, de la place des évêques au sein de l’Église entière. Partant du constat que la synodalité épiscopale, comme l’entendent les orthodoxes, ne coïncide pas avec la doctrine de la collégialité épiscopale comme elle a été formulée au concile Vatican II, le présent travail s’est penché sur les fondements de cette dernière, afin de rechercher comment la tradition commune originelle des deux Églises conçoit la synodalité épiscopale. Le retour aux sources communes, à savoir bibliques, patristiques et dogmatiques, est proposé comme la base d’une entente sur les questions du ministère épiscopal et de la synodalité des évêques. Une telle entente s’avère indispensable afin d’aborder d’autres questions controversées, notamment celle de la primauté romaine. / Synodality seems to be a very current topic, both for the bilateral theological dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, and for each individual Church. The pontificate of Pope Francis has emphasized synodality and the Orthodox Church has just convened its Great and Holy Council (Crete, June 2016). The Second Vatican Council in 1964 promulgated the doctrine of episcopal collegiality (the bishops are organized in a college which succeeds the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles), a doctrine which was to bring closer Catholic and Orthodox ecclesiologies. However, the Orthodox theologians did not appreciate the value of this doctrine. Fifty years after its promulgation, it is also noted that the implementation of episcopal collegiality in the Catholic Church is rather restricted. This research attempts to compare the notions of episcopal collegiality and episcopal synodality, exploring a common understanding between Catholics and Orthodox of the place of the bishops within the whole Church. For Orthodox theologians, episcopal synodality does not coincide with the doctrine of episcopal collegiality, as it was formulated during the Second Vatican Council. This research focused on the common tradition of the two Churches regarding episcopal synodality. The study of common sources, namely biblical, patristic and dogmatic, is proposed as the basis for an agreement on the issue of episcopal ministry and the synodality of bishops. Such an agreement is essential to address other issues, especially that of the Roman primacy.

Le contexte culturel du continent africain est marqué par la prégnance des ancêtres. C’est pourquoi la théologie de l’inculturation de la foi a pensé devoir s’approprier la thématique de l’ancêtre afin de rapatrier sa signification symbolique au service de la foi chrétienne. Mais, par-delà une mise en rapport informelle entre le Christ et l’ancêtre, l’inculturation de la foi a évolué vers la formalité spéculative d’une ancestralisation du Christ. En cela, la théologie du Christ-Ancêtre nous place devant un procédé périlleux de subsomption logique qui introduit et risque d’absorber le Novum du Christ dans les catégories et genres antérieurs de la culture de réception. L’ancestralisme n’est pas une réalité simplement africaine ; il traverse la Bible et d’autres cultures comme celle de la Rome antique et de la Chine ancienne. Par-delà la causalité exemplaire de l’ancêtre que la mémoire du passé suffit à fonder métaphysiquement, la théologie chrétienne ne peut pas lui reconnaître une causalité efficiente. En juste foi chrétienne, c’est l’efficience du Ressuscité qui bouleverse tout le régime d’efficience salvifique antérieur à la nouveauté chrétienne. Le Christ n’est pas un Ancêtre, il est l’Eschaton. / The cultural context of the african continent is marked by the pregnancy of the ancestors.That is why the theology of the inculturation of the faith thought of having to appropriate the theme of the ancestor to repatriate its symbolic meaning in the service of the christian faith. But beyond an informal putting in report between the Christ and the ancestor, the inculturation of the faith evolved towards the speculative formality of an ancestralisation of the Christ. In that respect, the theology of Christ-Ancestor places us in front of a precarious process of logical subsumption which introduces and risks to absorb the Novum of Christ in the categories and the previous kinds of the culture of reception. The ancestralism is not only african reality; it crosses the Bible and the other cultures as that of ancient Rome and ancient China. Beyond the exemplary causality of the ancestor which the memory of past is enough to establish metaphysically, the christian theology cannot recognize it an efficient causality. In christian faith, it is the efficiency of the Resuscitated that upsets all the category of salvific efficiency previous to the Christian novelty. Christ is not an Ancestor, he is Eschaton.

L'objectif principal de notre recherche consiste à cerner l'organisation de l'enseignement du catéchisme au niveau de la pensée des évêques du diocèse de Saint-Germain de Rimouski, et à préciser comment le clergé et les fidèles de ce territoire ont mis en application les directives épiscopales à ce sujet. Le plan de transmission de la foi par l'enseignement du catéchisme tel qu'établi par les évêques de Rimouski est nettement défini. Comme les évêques voient à ce qu'il soit appliqué, une forte majorité de curés le respectent. Quant aux fidèles, bien que les évêques veillent également à ce qu'ils respectent ce plan, une bonne partie d'entre eux se soumet plus ou moins à ces directives selon que cela fait ou non son affaire, d'où parfois certains "adoucissements" tolérés ou proposés par les évêques. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2013

[pt] O foco deste trabalho está na fundamentação, na caracterização e no processo da Eclesiologia de Comunhão no pensamento de Yves Marie-Joseph Congar, cuja contribuição teológica nos remete a refletir a Igreja na dinâmica da Trindade, onde reside sua origem, seu modelo e sua meta. A Igreja é anunciada e revelada como comunhão. Pretende-se refletir essa eclesiologia articulada com as intuições e a reviravolta teológica trazida pelo Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II no contexto de sua recepção. Visando uma síntese mais abrangente que valorize tanto o Concílio quanto os estudos de nosso teólogo, o autor procede em três passos: primeiro, a caracterização do fundamento básico da eclesiologia congariana: toda cristologia é pneumatologia e vice-versa. Segundo, a articulação da recepção do Vaticano II com o pensamento de Congar, valorizando os modelos de Igreja, as suas notas e propriedades. No terceiro passo, refletiremos sobre os sinais, dimensões e procedimentos da Eclesiologia de Comunhão em Yves Congar e suas implicações na dinâmica eclesial. / [fr] L’objet de cette recherche se situe dans la fondamentation, la caractérisation et dans le processus de l’Ecclésiologie de Communion dans la pensée de Yves Marie-Joseph Congar, dont la contribution théologique nous conduit à penser l’Église dans la dynamique de la Trinité, dans laquelle se trouve son origine, son modèle et son but. L’Église est annoncée et révélée comme communion. Il s’agira de penser cette ecclesiologie en l’articulant avec les intuitions et le “retournement” théologique opéré par le Concile Vatican II, dans le contexte de sa réception. Visant une large synthèse, l’auteur procède en trois étapes. La première est la caractérisation du fondement de base de l´ecclésiologie congarienne: toute christologie est pneumatologie et inversement. La seconde est l’articulation de la réception de Vatican II avec la pensée de Congar, en mettant en valeur les modeles d’Église, leurs notes et leurs propriétés. Dans la troisième étape, nous réfléchirons aux signes, aux dimensions et aux méthodes de l’Ecclesiologie de Communion chez Yves Congar et ses implications dans la dynamique ecclésiale.

[pt] A Igreja para continuar fiel a sua vocação pretendida por Cristo, precisa ser capaz de estabelecer conexões com a cultura e com o mundo na qual esta inserida em atitude dialógica. Como Povo de Deus ela possui uma identidade definida, contrastante com a sociedade, é um organismo vivo e pulsante que através dos séculos, penetrou em uma gama diversificada de culturas, como mediadora e sinal do Reino porvir. Minhas reflexões acreditam que a pós-modernidade seja o contexto possível para a vivência da eclesiologia de comunhão, isto é alinhar-se ao projeto salvífico de Deus para o mundo, mantendo no tempo presente a Igreja como voz que se faça ouvir, vida geradora de vida e luz para os povos, cumprindo sua vocação em Cristo. / [en] In order to the church maintain her faithfulness to her vocation, she must be able to establish dialogical connections to the world in which is inserted . The Church considered as the People of God has a precise identity, and is a living and contrasting organization which throughout the centuries has penetrated in different cultures as a mean and sign of the Kingdom to come . To say it’s a contrast society does not mean it’s a society outside the world, which makes segregations and discriminations. But, rather, it’s a contrasting society, because inserts itself into the world, interacting, loving and fighting for life. My reflections think about Post-modernity as a possible context, to live the Ecclesiology of communion, to follow the salvific project of God to the world maintaining in the present time the Church as a voice to be heard, life engendering life and light to the peoples, accomplishing her vocation in Christ.

This essay discusses different ways of understanding inclusion from the perspective of existential experiences in the church with the help of communion ecclesiology. The aim is to analyze other ways of creating inclusion that are not founded on the principle of consensus which has been a preferred method in the broader church community trough the ages. As a contrast, this essay looksat an ecclesiology of communion as another way to be inclusive from the idea of unity through diversity and differences. By comparing the theology of Elisabeth Johnson and John D. Zizioulas and their views of the other through Paul Jones theory of theological worlds this essay tries to answer the question: How can an ecclesiology of communion contribute to a broader church inclusion from the perspective of existential pluralism? After looking at how these theologians view inclusion in relation to Christian tradition, high and low ecclesiology and their relationship to different theological worlds the conclusion is that an ecclesiology of communion can create a more genuine form of inclusion by focusing more on the sensus fidei fidelis rather than the consensus fidei. By looking at the church more as a vessel of a multitude of experiences and personhoods combined by the relationship and narrative of Christ which find the community in the eschaton, rather than tradition, the church as a community can be a more inclusive place.

To accomplish this, the study starts from the historical reconstitution of the Sitz im Leben (life setting) that the apostle Paul s letter to the Christians in the church which he founded (and of which he was so attached to) in Philippi and then explains in what circumstances this letter was written, so to understand the reason Paul used the term citizenship capturing the attention of his readers. The study then details the biblical text in its original greek and does an exegesis of the passage inserted into its original language, where this study focuses its main research citizenship of heaven and from this definition defines the margins that bound the interpretation based on Pauline hermeneutics. In the last chapter, without taking into consideration the informality of various colloquial expressions that mark Philippians, this study presents the interpretive variations of 3:20, so one can have a possible interpretation of the meaning heavenly citizenship . Careful examination infers that the expression was not used in the sense that the common greek world (active political participation) our roman world (quality of the subject) would have used it. The specific term seeks to reinforce the community (and not the enemies of the cross) starting from the archetype of Christ and later becoming the center of the Christian faith. / Este trabalho tem o fito de trazer à tona o conteúdo substancial que a expressão cidadania do céu carrega consigo. Para tanto, a partir da reconstituição histórica do sitz im leben (ambiente vital) da carta do apóstolo Paulo aos cristãos da igreja que ele mesmo fundara (e a qual tanto se afeiçoou) em Filipos, perpassa o debate a respeito das circunstâncias em que essa carta foi escrita, para, então, entender o porquê de Paulo ter se utilizado do termo cidadania para captar a atenção dos seus destinatários. Em seguida, minuciando o texto bíblico no seu original grego, procede à exegese da perícope em que inserida a expressão em torno da qual gira a pesquisa cidadania do céu para, dele extrair as amarras (limites) que margearão a interpretação baseada na hermenêutica paulina. No último capítulo, sem deixar de levar em conta a informalidade e as várias expressões coloquiais que marcam Filipenses, apresenta-se as correntes interpretativas de 3,20, a fim de cotejá-las com o possível sentido do significado de cidadania do céu . Conclui-se que a referida expressão não foi utilizada no sentido que lhe era comum nos mundos grego (ativa participação política) ou romano (qualidade de súdito). Ela busca, isso sim, reforçar a identidade da comunidade (e não a dos inimigos da cruz) a partir do arquétipo de Cristo, tornando-se o centro da fé cristã.
