To produce this profile we resorted to the theory of philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, history of sociology, psychology and psychoanalyses which forms the interdisciplinary methodological background of this dissertation. We argue that men and women, daily and historically are the product of singular and plural relationships. Some live in permanent relationships that imply both the search for differences as well as similarities, in their complex socio-cultural interaction. As all human relationship occur within history, we contextualised the group and synthesized their history. In the synthesis, it is sustained that the foundation of the group occurred during the military dictatorship and the their history has been marked by intense creativity in living their daily human relationships. The profile of gender is painted by means of careful interpretation of twelve variables. An analyses of these variables was demanded due to complex gender relationship experienced. With this the leadership of the CNL was able to live positively new gender relationships, seeking community, communion and autonomy. Based on this profile future actions amongst the leadership of the group is proposed and analysed. / Essa dissertação é o resultado da pesquisa, em que é esboçado o perfil da vivência das relações de gênero no Conselho Nacional de Leigos e Leigas Católicos do Brasil. Para traçá-lo, recorreu-se a aportes teóricos da filosofia, da lingüística, da antropologia, da história, da sociologia, da psicologia e da psicanálise, gerando um embasamento teórico e metodológico interdisciplinar. Sustenta-se que homens e mulheres, cotidiana e historicamente, são tecidos por singulares e plurais relações. Uns e outros vivem em permanentes relações que implicam tanto a busca da diferença quanto da igualdade, em complexas interações sócio-culturais. Como toda relação humana ocorre na história, então, contextualiza-se o grupo e efetua-se a síntese de sua história. Na síntese, é sustentado que a fundação do grupo ocorreu em contexto da ditadura militar e que sua trajetória histórica ficou marcada por intensa criatividade em vivenciar, cotidianamente, novas relações humanas. O perfil de gênero é pintado por meio de uma cuidadosa interpretação dos sinais em doze variáveis. A análise das variáveis foi exigência para a expressão da complexa relação de gênero vivida. Com isto, ficou desenhado que as lideranças do CNL conseguiram viver, positivamente, novas relações de gênero. Perpassa as novas relações a constante busca da comunhão e da autonomia. Em base ao perfil deslindado, são indicadas futuras ações entre as lideranças do grupo analisado.

The formation of social networks as a possibility for coping with poverty will be addressed in this dissertation through the proposal of the Economy of Communion, which brings as innovative precisely the sharing of profits made by entrepreneurs. Was used in the construction of this path the theory of social networks and, as supporting references, social capital and donation, which will help us follow its development and discoveries during the research. It starts from the assumption that the formation of networks through shared values around a common goal, a culture of sharing, through the donation, which puts into practice reciprocity relations as opposed to utilitarist view, capable of supporting the interpersonal and interorganizational social relations. The research methodology is qualitative and quantitative, carried out through participant observation, interviews and questionnaires with the Business Pole Spartaco, and it was possible to identify the existing relationships within the project scope of Economy of Communion. Besides identifying the relationships, it was also possible to identify the intensity of those relations and the perception they have on their ability to accomplish the propagation of the culture of sharing. The study revealed that the project is a network of horizontal profile, with high density and cohesiveness of its actors, especially some actors that are articulated in a network of mutual help and that are interconnected with other social networks / O processo de concentração de riqueza gerou uma divisão entre o mundo dos ricos e dos pobres, aumentando ainda mais as distâncias entre os indivíduos/consumidores e aqueles que não são considerados pelo sistema econômico capitalista, pois não possuem capacidade de compra, estão fora dos processos de globalização, estão relegados aos grandes bolsões de pobreza e violência na maior parte das vezes. A formação de redes sociais como sendo uma possibilidade para o enfrentamento da pobreza será abordada nesta dissertação, por meio da proposta da Economia de Comunhão, que traz como novidade justamente a partilha dos lucros efetuada pelos empresários. Utiliza-se na construção desse caminho a teoria de redes sociais e de forma coadjuvante os referenciais sobre capital social e dádiva, que nos ajudarão a acompanhar o seu desenvolvimento e descobertas durante a pesquisa. Parte-se do pressuposto que a formação de redes por meio de valores compartilhados em torno de um objetivo comum, de uma cultura da partilha, por meio da dádiva, que coloca em prática relações de reciprocidade em contraposição a visão utilitarista, capazes de favorecer as relações sociais interpessoais e interorganizacionais. A metodologia da pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, realizada por meio de observação participante, de entrevistas e aplicação de questionários junto ao Pólo Empresarial Spartaco, e permitiu identificar as relações no âmbito do projeto de Economia de Comunhão. Além de identificar as relações, foi também possível identificar a intensidade dessas relações e a percepção que tem sobre sua capacidade de efetivação de propagação da cultura da partilha. O estudo revelou que o projeto é uma rede de perfil horizontal, com alta densidade e coesão dos seus atores, com destaque para alguns atores que se articulam numa rede de ajuda recíproca e que se interconectam com outras redes sociais

Three hypotheses are raised: first, Agape can be understood as the symbolically generalised communication media (SGCM); second, the EoC can be considered as a system of border thinking; third, the possibility of expansion of EoC is directly related with the spread and assimilation of the SGCM inserted by the EoC in the economic system, in particular through the mediation of Agape. In order to verify these hypotheses, Agape is considered as the possibility of expansion of EoC, according to Social Systems Theory of Niklas Luhmann, understood as the SGCM. In addition, the EoC is verified as border thinking, on optics of Walter Mignolo, i.e. as marginal thinking that emerges on the edges of the hegemonic thinking, with ability to open cracks and operate transformations in dominant system. Our hypotheses are corroborated in two dimensions: first, empirically, through half-open interviews directed, mainly, to entrepreneurs and employees of EoC companies, using the method of content analysis, and, in a second moment, examining the EoC as a system of thought. The importance of this study can be justified by the fact that the relationship between religion and society is treated from a pluritopic approach, which may contribute to a reading of social reality from a border subaltern perspective. In conclusion, at the current stage of development of the EoC is possible to think that Agape acts as the SGCM and which has in itself the strength to provide EoC expansion beyond its borders, introducing innovations in the economic system / Na presente tese verificamos a possibilidade de a Economia de Comunhão (EdC)1, expandir-se para além dela mesma e generalizar-se no sistema econômico. Levantamos as hipóteses de que o ágape pode ser compreendido como meio de comunicação simbolicamente generalizado (MCSG); que a EdC pode ser considerada um sistema de pensamento liminar e que a possibilidade de expansão da EdC está diretamente relacionada com a propagação e assimilação dos MCSG inseridos pela EdC no sistema econômico, de modo particular pela mediação do ágape. A fim de verificarmos nossas hipóteses, fundamentamo-nos no ágape como possibilidade de expansão da EdC, de acordo com a Teoria dos Sistemas Sociais de Niklas Luhmann, compreendido como (MCSG). Ademais, verificamos a EdC enquanto pensamento liminar, na ótica de Walter Mignolo, ou seja, como pensamento marginal que emerge nas bordas do pensamento hegemônico, com capacidade de abrir fendas e operar transformações no sistema dominante. Verificamos nossas hipóteses em duas dimensões: empiricamente, por meio de entrevistas semiabertas dirigidas, sobretudo, a empresários e funcionários de empresas EdC, utilizando-nos do método da análise de conteúdo e, em um segundo momento, examinando a EdC enquanto sistema de pensamento. A importância deste estudo pode ser justificada pelo fato de tratamos da relação entre religião e sociedade a partir de uma abordagem pluritópica, podendo contribuir para uma leitura da realidade social a partir de uma perspectiva liminar subalterna. Concluímos que no atual estágio de desenvolvimento da EdC é possível considerar que o ágape atue como MCSG e que possui em si força para proporcionar a expansão da EdC para além de suas fronteiras, introduzindo inovações no sistema econômico

This study is primarily designed to evaluate the elements and conjecture economic, legal and social legislation that led to the country to choose the regime of partial community property as statutory or supplementary, applied to situations where the spouses do not realize deed of prenuptial agreement with arrangements other than marriage set to take effect. The agreament of comparative law, in this narrow way, appears as a necessary tool for understanding the legislative option. Reflections on the historical evolution of the institute and the intense debates taking place in the doctrine and case law after the enactment of Law 6515 of December 26, 1977, also assist in the task of making more effective the analysis desired. The study of property regime is a tool to solve increasingly intricate issues, raised by the continuous evolution of the world and busnises a society increasingly multiple relationships, goals and interests / O regime patrimonial escolhido para vigorar entre os cônjuges implica inúmeras consequências na administração dos bens e nas relações familiares do casal. O presente estudo tem por finalidade precípua avaliar os elementos e conjecturas econômicas, jurídicas e sociais que levaram a legislação pátria a optar pelo regime da comunhão parcial de bens como regime legal ou supletivo, aplicado às situações em que os nubentes não realizam escritura de pacto antenupcial com regime diverso do estabelecido para vigorar no casamento. A abordagem de direito comparado, nesse caminho estreito, aparece como ferramenta necessária para a compreensão da opção legislativa. Reflexões acerca da evolução histórica do instituto e dos intensos debates promovidos na doutrina e na jurisprudência após a edição da Lei 6515, de 26 de dezembro de 1977, também auxiliam na tarefa de tornar mais efetiva a análise pretendida. O estudo do regime patrimonial é ferramenta para a resolução de questões cada vez mais intrincadas, suscitadas pela contínua evolução do mundo negocial e por uma sociedade cada vez mais múltipla de relacionamentos, objetivos e interesses

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as formas e relações de comunicação organizacional integrada dentro da perspectiva da Economia de Comunhão numa empresa brasileira. A Economia de Comunhão (EdC), é um projeto de caráter sócio-econômico que nasce a partir da experiência do Movimento dos Focolares, um movimento civil e eclesial. Hoje a EdC encontra-se dispersa por cerca de 40 países envolvendo quase 800 empresas. A comunicação organizacional integrada no contexto da Economia de Comunhão apresenta características peculiares. Analisar as formas e relações de comunicação em que se desenvolvem na prática nos permite enxergar a importância dessa nova maneira de agir no campo econômico e social. A partir do método fenomenológico e do estudo de caso penetramos na realidade da empresa com essa filosofia para constatar na prática aquilo que na concepção ideológica da proposta é apresentada. O estudo envolve conceitos ainda pouco abordados pela academia como Cultura do Dar, homem novo e outros, que aprofundados nos revelam uma praxe comunicacional baseada na partilha. / The purpose of this study is to analyze forms and relations of integrated organizational communication into the Economy of Communion perspective, in a Brazilian organization. The Economy of Communion (EoC) consists into a socio-economic project that had birth from the experience of Focolare Movement, a civil and ecclesiastic movement. Nowadays, EoC is dispersing around 40 countries, involving almost 800 companies. The organizational communication integrated in the Economy of Communion context presents peculiar characteristics. Analyzing the communications forms and relations developed in practice allow us to realize the importance of this new way of acting in the social and economic field. Adopting the phenomenological method and case study we entered the organization reality using this philosophy to find, in practice, what is presented in the ideological conception of this proposal. This study involves concepts not much adopted in the academy, such as Culture of Giving, new man and others, that when deeply searched reveal us a communicational praxis based on sharing.

In the history of the Reformed Churches of South Africa (RCSA) great emphisis was placed on the notion to make decisions on the basis, and in accordance to the Scriptures. In spite of this notion, the church community of the RCSA stand in the midst of great tension regarding some decisions. In the fifty year period from the centenary festival in 1959 to the 150 year festival in 2009, assemblies of the church community were confronted with many objections to decisions regarding racial relations, the acceptance of the 1983-translation of the Bible in Afrikaans, the acceptance of the 2001-Psalter, the use of small cups in the Holy Communion and the role of women in the offices of deacon, elder and minister. The question that’s being addressed in this study is, if a shift in the RCSA’s view of Scripture took place. Chapter 2 gives an historical overview of the decisions that gave way to to the differences mentioned above. From the historical overview the aspects regarding the view of Scripture can be formulated. In chapter 3 the relation between the differences and the view of Scripture are examined. At first a short definition of the reformed view of Scripture are formulated. Hermeneutical and view of Scripture aspects of the raports of deputies and decisions of assemblies are tested according to the formulated definition of a reformed view of Scripture. Chapter 4 examines the influence that paradigm shifts had on the differences in the RCSA. Focus is placed on the influence of postmodernism on the one hand and fundamentalism on the other. Attention is also given to the stance of the RCSA on these two paradigms of thought with relation to the view of Scripture. In light of the reformed view of Scripture the postmodern approach to hermeneutics is discarded as well as the the fundamentalist view of Scripture. In spite of the reality of paradigmshifts, the raports of deputies and the decisions of assemblies does not reflect this reality. Chapter 5 tries to point a way out to handle the differences in the ligt of the Reformed view of Scripture. Focus is placed on the place the sociohistorical context holds in the revelationhistorical exegetical process. The chapter further investigates the relation between desicions on Scriptural grounds and the right to protest according to artical 31 of the Reformed Chrurchorder. Attention in given to so called ordinary cases ans essential cases. The notion that differences can be solved when dessicions is based on Scripture alone is put forward in this chapter. / Thesis (M.Th.

In the last two decades, Seventh-day Adventist scholars have been attempting to articulate a balanced and distinct ecclesiology, aimed at helping the denomination to retain its global unity, maintain its relevance and enable a more fruitful and meaningful interaction with others. No comprehensive account of the church has been developed yet, however. This thesis is intended to facilitate a more rounded and systematically articulated concept of church from an Adventist perspective. Part I presents a thumbnail history of the denomination and considers the advantages and limitations of its standard claim to be the 'remnant', awaiting a pre-millennial parousia. Part II engages with the ideas of some of the ablest communio ecclesiologists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and considers their ecclesiological system, built around the concept of koinonia, while Part III examines ways in which their theoretical framework can assist the Adventist community to deal with practical ecclesial issues. Four major proposals are made for deepening Adventist understanding of the nature of church. Whereas the formal structure of communio framework can help Adventists move beyond one-sided, single-metaphor communal self-descriptions, the idea of the church as essentially a koinonia of believers in God can supplement their predominantly functionalist portrayal of the church as herald or messenger. Thirdly, the Adventist notion of truth can be enriched by viewing the community of believers not only as a messenger, but also as an organic part of divine revelation. This makes ecclesiology central to the theological enterprise, intrinsic to the grounding of theological claims and the interpretation of biblical texts. Finally, the development of a richer interpretation of the Spirit's activity in the church is seen as one of the key prerequisites for a fuller, more nuanced account of the church's participation in the life of the triune God. The highlighting of these four aspects, hitherto neglected or underdeveloped in Adventism, and the presentation of tentative solutions to its ongoing ecclesiological problems, form the principal contribution of this monograph.

O presente estudo tem como objeto de pesquisa, discutir, a partir da experiência adquirida com o Programa Redução de Danos, novas compreensões de vida e cuidado a partir da epidemia HIV/Aids. A partir disso, propõe na interface com a teologia, alternativas de ação pastoral que resgatem e promovam o respeito à dignidade humana não somente das pessoas que vivem e/ou convivem com HIV/Aids, mas todas aquelas que por uma razão ou outra encontram-se vulneráveis e/ou privadas dos seus direitos, independente da esfera em que se encontram na sociedade. São objetivos dessa pesquisa, apresentar a proposta do Programa de Redução de Danos, bem como perceber como se deu a construção de dignidade humana a partir dessa proposta juntamente com a teologia e ação pastoral para os/as ministros/as da Igreja Evangélica de Confissão Luterana no Brasil (IECLB) que atuaram no programa de Redução de Danos. Após socializar as experiências dos/as obreiros/as, apresenta-se e reflete-se sobre uma experiência de comunhão de mesa no modelo de Jesus Cristo, a partir de uma pessoa com Aids atendida pelo programa Redução de Danos. Por fim, são construídos e propostos subsídios como resultado da proposta de Redução de Danos em diálogo com a Teologia, contribuindo para a construção de novas compreensões de vida e cuidado a partir da epidemia de HIV/Aids. Como metodologia, a pesquisa ocorreu em dois momentos. A primeira bibliográfica, que perpassa obras que discutem os problemas das drogas na relação com a epidemia da Aids e descreve o contexto em que surge a redução de danos, obras que trazem para a discussão as comunhões de mesas contemporâneas, a prática do cuidado, e a discussão sobre uma possível Teologia da Aids. Num segundo momento, foi realizada pesquisa de campo, apresentando entrevistas realizadas com quatro pastores/as da IECLB para entender os significados que a proposta de redução de danos lhes proporcionou, tanto para sua vida particular, como para a atividade pastoral realizada em suas comunidades. Concluindo, são apresentadas, a partir do conhecimento empírico da redução de danos frente ao tema do HIV/Aids, novas propostas de vida e cuidado para que as igrejas contemporâneas possam, a partir da realidade de suas comunidades, promover a vida e a dignidade humana. / The present study‟s research object is to discuss, from the experience acquired with the Harm Reduction Program, new understandings of life and care from the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Starting with this, it proposes in the interface with Theology, pastoral action alternatives that rescue and promote respect for human dignity not only for people living with HIV/AIDS and/or living together with people living with HIV/AIDS, but all who for one reason or another are vulnerable and/or have their rights violated, no matter which sphere of society they are part of. The goals of this research are to present the proposals of the Harm Reduction Program, as well as see the way it constructed the concept of human dignity from this proposals together with Theology and pastoral work by ministers of the Igreja Evangélica de Confissão Luterana no Brasil (IECLB) who worked in the Harm Reduction Program. After presenting the experiences of those ministers, an experience of table communion in the model of Jesus Christ, with a person with Aids attended by the Harm Reduction Program is presented and reflected upon. At last, contributions are constructed and proposed as a result of the Harm Reduction Program in dialogue with Theology, contributing to the construction of new understandings of life and care from the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Concerning methodology, the research took place in two moments. The first one is bibliographic, dealing with works that discuss the issues of drugs in relation to the Aids epidemic and describe the context in which the Harm Reduction emerges, works that discuss contemporary table communions, works that discuss a possible Theology of Aids. In a second moment, a field research was accomplished, presenting interviews with four pastors from the IECLB to understand the meanings the harm reduction proposals offered them, for their private lives as well as for the pastoral work accomplished in their congregations. In conclusion, from the empirical knowledge of harm reduction in face of the theme of HIV/AIDS, new proposals for life and care are presented so that contemporary churches may, from the reality of their congregations, promote life and human dignity.
