Attraverso lo studio della disciplina giuridica dell’ente parrocchia nella sua evoluzione storica, dapprima sono stati enucleati i principi sottesi alla legislazione di riferimento, canonica statuale e concordataria, e, poi, sono state analizzate le loro diverse concretizzazioni a livello normativo. Si tratta del principio gerarchico, di quello comunitario e di partecipazione, del principio di sussidiarietà, del principio di collaborazione e del principio territoriale, analizzati nei rapporti istituzionali tra la parrocchia e la diocesi, nei rapporti interni alla comunità parrocchiale, nelle relazioni tra istituzioni ecclesiastiche ed istituzioni civili. Si è evidenziato come l’ufficio ecclesiale del parroco, pur ancora gerarchicamente subordinato all’Ordinario diocesano, non sia più di natura vicariale; come ci sia stata una crescente valorizzazione del principio di partecipazione e dei profili di corresponsabilità di tutti i fedeli nell’edificazione della Chiesa, come Stato e Chiesa, abbandonando la reciproca diffidenza, abbia rinnovato l’impegno alla fattiva collaborazione per il benessere sociale, con un’adeguata attenzione da parte di entrambi alle esigenze del territorio. / Through the study of the rules I have specified the most important principles of the parish, territorial subdivision of the diocese recognized by the State. I have analysed the relation between the parish priest and the bishop, the relation between parish priest, who has the responsibility and the canonical authority over the parish, and the local community, the relation between the parish and the civil institutions to promote the social welfare.

This thesis contends that Christian conversion in the African context has been authentic because of the translatability of the event of Christ. The event of Christ is defined as the incarnation, the suffering and death on the cross and the sending of the Holy Spirit. Through these events God made the calling of all humanity including Africans, for transformation unto salvation. God is perceived as the originator and the initiator of Christian conversion while human beings and their culture are perceived as the recipients and channels of God's mission. The combination of the concepts of preparation evangelical, the translatability of the event of Christ and the theology of the cross are the basis of the theological deliberations of this thesis. The thesis contends further that the proclamation of the gospel hence, Christianisation moved together with the wave of modernization. Due to the continuity of translation, Christianity strengthened its influence and became the Word of God in the Hehe vernacular. In that way Christianity was naturally indigenised and continually contextualised in the Hehe culture and belief thus being deeply entrenched in their daily life and could be rightly described as renewed Hehe (African) Religion. Therefore, the Hehe accepted Christianity because God appeared in the human (Hehe) nature through Jesus Christ and dwelt in the Hehe community and shared everything with them. God through Jesus Christ participated in the daily suffering. He was humiliated and became vulnerable and weak. Through the translation of the Word God was no longer the ineffable beyond. Through the manifestations of the spiritual gifts God remained among the Hehe; instructing, comforting and reminding them of the benevolent love and the call of God for the universal salvation through which the Church builds its response to God's mission. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005

In particular, High Churchmen promoted the extension of the episcopate to provide the colonies with a complete Anglican polity, and in an effort to transmit to the colony something of the Anglican/English culture they valued. The means used were the Colonial Bishoprics Fund (CBF) and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG), both of which were supported by a Tory paternalist elite in England. This study concerns the foundation of the Diocese of Brisbane in 1859, which was a part of this expansion, and which was effected during the brief Tory administration of Lord Derby. It is unsurprising then, that the first Bishop of Brisbane, the Right Reverend E.W. Tufnell, came from the Tory High Church tradition. The clergy he took to the diocese were of a similar theological and social outlook.--The period from the proclamation of free settlement in the Moreton Bay District in 1842 to the departure of the bishop for retirement in England in 1874, was a period of rapid population growth, immigrants arriving mainly from Britain and Ireland. The policy of the imperial government was to try to balance the emigration from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales in proportion to their population and religious denomination. This meant that Anglicans were not as strongly represented in the colonial population as in England; emigrants from the other three countries being much less likely to be Anglicans. The bulk of those arriving in Queensland were working class or petit bourgeois, so consequently the socio-economic structure of Anglicanism in Queensland did not reflect that in England. Moreover, by the time the first Anglican bishop arrived in Brisbane, all state support for religious purposes was withdrawn. The Church of England in Queensland had to adapt to these significant differences of context.--Drawing on parish and diocesan records, the records of SPG, CBF and other organisations in England, personal documents (diaries and letters) and newspapers, this survey of Anglicanism in Brisbane diocese in the early colonial period, charts some of the ways Anglicans devised to create a distinctively Anglican community. The gendered roles of Anglican men and women; the various ways in which parishes came into being, were administered and financed; and the creation of a diocesan synod all bear testimony to the adaptability of Anglicans to their colonial context. Though the framework of this study is provided by the institutional church, diocesan records are sparse, and much of the content concerns the Anglican laity. This has provided an opportunity to explore heretofore neglected aspects of Anglicanism. It is a small beginning in the writing of a 'bottom-up' history of the Anglican Church in Australia. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / vi, 449 leaves ill

The research is done within the diocese of Kanyakumari of the Church of South India. It examines the viability of the following training programmes to socio-political factors: the Church Workers Theological Training Programme, the Sunday School Programme, the Vacation Bible School Programme, the parish-based training programmes - for example retreats and workshops, the Women’s Fellowship Programme, the Christian Endeavour Programme, the Programme of Communication and Revival as well as that of the Student Christian Movement of India, and the Union of Evangelical Students of India. The practitioners of these programmes felt the need for guide-lines to transform their programmes to be more relevant to their socio-political contexts. Hence the present qualitative-oriented research was undertaken. The preliminary interviews and reading of the related literature enabled the researcher to identify some promoted theories, regarding the relationship between the socio-political factors and the programmes; this assisted him to set up a questionnaire for semistructured interviews. A sample for interviews was chosen with the help of the organisers of the programmes. A pilot study was conducted using the questionnaire, which led to the semi-structured interviews. The respondents narrated their experiences and reflections related to the socio-political factors. The information was organised, scrutinised, and the findings were recorded under six different pointers, which enabled the researcher to exhibit and explain the connections between the training programmes and the sociopolitical factors. Then the findings were evaluated, using the puzzle-solving method. Consequently, some guidelines were devised. These guide-lines indicate the limitations and the possibilities in making a socially-oriented training programme more vibrant and viable to its socio-political factors. Moreover, they highlight the possibilities for the existing pietistic-oriented programmes to become more relevant to the context. They also guide the practitioners to construct alternative approaches in training that are more relevant. The research is a small incentive to the emerging cooperation among the practitioners of the various training programmes in CSI Kanyakumari diocese. It will hopefully encourage them to join hands with people of other faiths and Non Governmental organisations in facilitating the social transformation in India today. Proposals are made for further related research work. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / (D.Th. (Practical Theology))

A partir de la seconde moitié du IVe siècle, les productions de sigillée de l’Argonne, région naturelle située entre Châlons-en-Champagne et Verdun, sont diffusées dans le Diocèse des Gaules et plus largement dans l’ouest de l’Europe. Ce type de céramique, caractérisée par la présence d’un décor en bandeau imprimé à l’aide d’une molette, a longtemps été considéré comme produit uniquement dans les ateliers argonnais. Cependant, les études de ces dernières décennies sur le sujet ont permis d'avancer l'hypothèse de l'existence de plusieurs productions locales imitant les formes et les décors de ces sigillées. Grâce aux méthodes d’analyses archéométriques utilisées (analyses chimiques par fluorescence X, observations pétrographiques, analyses minéralogiques par diffraction des rayons X), l’existence de plusieurs groupes de production est validée. L’adéquation entre le classement statistique des données géochimiques et les hypothèses archéologiques principalement basées sur l’identification des décors à la molette confirme la pertinence du partitionnement obtenu. Ces résultats reflètent la diversité des argiles utilisées pour la fabrication de ces sigillées hors de la région argonnaise (argiles calcaires, argiles peu calcaires et argiles kaolinitiques) et les capacités d’adaptation des artisans aux ressources géologiques disponibles. Les observations pétrographiques et minéralogiques attestent également de l’utilisation de fours à sigillées et des fours à flammes nues (parfois conjointement dans un même atelier) par les potiers. Cette caractérisation met en lumière un phénomène d’essaimage d’ateliers, généralement de taille modeste, qui produisent et distribuent ces sigillées décorées à la molette sur de courtes distances. / From the second half of the 4th century, the East Gaulish red-slipped ware of Argonne, an area located between Châlons-en-Champagne and Verdun, are widely diffused in the Diocese of Gaul and in the west of Europe. This kind of ceramic, characterized by a stringcrouse decoration printed using a roller, has long been considered as only produced in the Argonne’s workshops. However, the studies of these last decades has made it possible to came up with a new theory that suggest the existence of several local productions imitating the forms and the decorations of these sigillata. Using differents methods of archaeometric analysis (chemical analyses by x-ray fluorescence, petrographic observations, mineralogical analyses by x-ray diffraction), the existence of several groups of production is validated. The adequacy between the statistical clustering of the geochemical data and the archaeological assumptions mainly based on the identification of the roller-stamped decorations confirms the relevance of the partitioning obtained. These results reflect the diversity of the clays used for the manufacturing of these red-slipped ware outside of the Argonne area (calcareous clay, non calcareous clay, kaolinitic clay) and the craftsmen’s capacities to adapt to the geological ressources available. The petrographic and mineralogical observations also attest the use of sigillata kilns and updraft kilns by the potters (sometimes both in the same workshop). This characterization highlight a phenomenon of workshops’s swarming, generally of modest size, which produce and distribute these roller-stamped red-slipped ware on short distances.

The work deals with the history of the Cistercian Order in Vyšší Brod in the first half of the 20th century. It gives an account of political and religious events of those times and also reminds important milestones from the turn of the 18th and 19th century which influenced the 20th century {--} in particular the religious reforms carried out by Josef II and his closing down some monasteries. Founding the Diocese of České Budějovice counts among the positive acts of this emperor. The work also describes the impact of the two World Wars. Compulsory transfer of Germans after the World War Two and following fourty years lasting religious infringement strongly affected the life of the Cistercian Monastery in Vyšší Brod. Thanks to the newly gained liberty in November 1989 the life in the monastery could be renewed. Two monks came back to the monastery, both survived the time when the communists were in power, the older one also lived through the Nazi totalitarian system. New monastic life candidates came to the monastery, at present there are seven monks living there.

La présence cistercienne en Auvergne et Velay bénéficie pour la première fois d’un travail de synthèse. L’ordre de Cîteaux dans les anciens diocèses de Clermont et du Puy représente dix abbayes fréquemment ignorées par l’historiographie ; Montpeyroux, Bellaigue, Feniers, et Le Bouchet (diocèse de Clermont) forment la branche masculine de cette colonisation, alors que L’Éclache, La Vassin, Mègemont (diocèse de Clermont), Bellecombe, Clavas et La Séauve-sur-Semène (au diocèse du Puy) sont destinées à des moniales. L’essaimage s’effectue entre 1126 et le tout début du XIIIe s. Il est dû à l’aristocratie locale qui fait de ces établissements des marqueurs territoriaux en y instaurant ses sépultures et en alimentant les vocations monastiques. Leur localisation frontalière, soit en situation de marche, participe à ce manifeste politique, tout en favorisant la mise en valeur économique de terroirs éloignés du siège seigneurial. Aussi, malgré un maillage monastique très dense préalablement à leur venue, les Cisterciens obtiennent une place particulière dans le paysage religieux des deux diocèses, tant dans leurs liens aux élites locales, que par les espaces interstitiels dont ils héritent, en marge des grands axes vitaux habituels (couloirs ligériens et élavérins). Ces résultats correspondent à la première étape de notre travail qui a consisté à confronter les divers agents des territoires diocésains à l’occupation cistercienne par une enquête historiographique et par la production d’une cartographie analytique. Un second temps de la recherche a été consacré à l’approche morphologique des sites accueillant les ensembles monastiques.Le croisement des données archivistiques (séries du clergé régulier, des eaux et forêts, cadastre napoléonien principalement), bibliographiques (notes d’érudition du XIXe s., articles érudits récents, littérature régionaliste, articles scientifiques, rapports archéologiques, mémoires et publications universitaires…) avec les témoins archéologiques participent d’une prospection sensu lato à laquelle s’ajoute une dimension géomorphologique, dans la mesure de nos compétences avant tout archéologiques. Outre l’ouverture très ponctuelle des archives sédimentaires par des sondages, des coupes stratigraphiques de berge et des carottages sur 4 sites tests en collaboration avec des géomorphologues, le travail initial a consisté en l’interprétation de la documentation cartographique et photographique ( ressources de l’Institut Géographique National) permettant une approche territoriale diachronique. Une fois les formes signifiantes du paysage repérées selon des principes empruntés à l’archéogéographie, et les vestiges des abbayes et de leur environnement immédiat caractérisés (identification et étude partielle selon le cas, inventaire des aménagements hydrauliques), une campagne de levés topographiques a été mise en œuvre sur 6 établissements (la totalité du corpus n’a pu jouir d’un traitement uniforme pour des raisons d’accessibilité, de couvert végétal, ou de conservation des vestiges). Les résultats sont présentés selon un corpus analytique constitué des 10 abbayes sus-citées. L’ensemble de ce travail est finalement discuté selon trois points : les systèmes relationnels entre les établissements cisterciens et l’aristocratie locale (topolignage), la définition économique et spatiale des domaines monastiques, et les logiques pragmatiques et idéologiques d’aménagement des sites. / The Cistercian presence in Auvergne and Velay benefits for the first time from a synoptic work. The Cistercian order in the former Clermont and Le Puy dioceses encompasses ten abbeys frequently ignored by historiography: Montpeyroux, Bellaigue, Feniers and Le Bouchet (Clermont diocese) formed the male branch of the settlements, whereas L’Éclache, La Vassin, Mègemont (Clermont diocese), Bellecombe, Clavas and La Séauve-sur-Semène (Le Puy diocese) were aimed for nuns. The swarming took place between 1126 and the very beginning of the XIIIth century, due to the local aristocrats turning those settlements into territorial landmarks by setting up their burial places there and feeding monastic aspirations. Their borderline localization, i.e. as marches, participated in this political stance, all the while contributing to the economic stimulation of lands remote from the lord’s main estate. Hence, despite a dense mesh of monasteries prior to their coming, the Cistercians obtained a singular position in the religious landscape of both dioceses, as much regarding their links to local elites as regarding the interstitial spaces which they inherited, on the side of the main vital axes (the Loire and Allier rivers corridors). These results constitute the first step in our work, which consisted in confronting the various agents of the diocese’s territories with the Cistercian occupation through a historiographical investigation and the production of analytical cartographic material. The second step of the research dealt with the morphological study of the sites hosting the monastic compounds.The addition of archival data (mainly records from the regular clergy, the National Forests Office, and the Napoleonic land registers) to bibliographic information (scholar notes from the XIXth century, recent specialist’s articles, regionalist literature, scientific articles, archaeological reports, memoirs and academic publications…) along with archaeological evidence pertained to a wide-ranging prospection, which was enhanced with a geomorphological approach, insofar as our mainly archaeological skills allowed. In addition to the study of sedimentary rocks through occasional soundings, stratigraphic cross-sections of riverbanks, and core samples taken off four reference sites with the assistance of geomorphologists, the initial research consisted in interpreting the cartographic and photographic records (documents from the National Geographic Institute) so as to envision a diachronic approach to the territorial data. Once the significant aspects of the landscape were located, according to principles borrowed from archeogeography, and after the relics of both the abbeys and their immediate surroundings were marked (identification and partial research according to the situation, inventory of the hydraulic constructions), a topographic study was initiated in six structures (a homogeneous treatment could not be secured for the whole corpus for reasons connected to accessibility, plant coverings and preservation of the relics). The results are presented using an analytical corpus set up from the foregoing ten abbeys.To conclude, the whole research is apprehended through three points: the systemic relationships between the Cistercian settlements and the local aristocracy (topolineage); the definition of the monastic domains from an economic and spatial perspective; and the ideological and pragmatic considerations leading to the arrangement of the constructions.
