This dissertation is an ethnographic description of how pastors (and other ministers) in the Northern Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania understand and carry out their ministry: How they reflect, mediate, and influence local Christian practice and identities; how theology and theologizing forms an integral part of their social worlds; and how navigating and maintaining relationships with Christian mission partnerships (including “short-term mission”) becomes an important part of their ministry. Drawing from fieldwork conducted between June 2014 and September 2015, I present an account of Christianity that adds to anthropological scholarship by emphasizing the role of theology as a grounded social practice, and considers the increasingly divergent character of Christian mission and its role in modern Tanzanian Christianity. Additionally, I offer a contribution to existing scholarship on Christianity by focusing on pastors as a central mediating figure in Christianity, showing how, in their work, Christian practice, theology, and mission are experienced in social relationships. I demonstrate how theology and theologizing directly address local negotiations of Christian identity and practice, I examine the articulation between theological debates and Tanzanian experiences of mission, and I describe how mission in Tanzania has been and continues to be contextually understood with reference to the local practice of Christianity.

O presente trabalho visa o estudo da produção documental da Sé do Porto entre 1113-1247. Para tal procedeu-se num primeiro momento ao estudo da própria instituição diocesana: os seus bispos, as relações com a canónica, com o monarca e com outras instituições e os membros das respectivas casas; e a instituição capitular: as suas origens estrutura elementos dignidades e funções. A segunda parte foi dedicada ao estudo da chancelaria da Sé: os documentos que produziu, o processo de elaboração e a sua tipologia, os agentes envolvidos, as fórmulas utilizadas e a sua evolução ao longo do período estudado.

Labai svarbią dalį katalikiškose liaudies pamaldumo praktikose užima šermenų giesmės, maldos ir apeigos. Anot „Liturginio maldyno“, „Šermenys, arba budynės, – tai budėjimas prie numirėlio iki laidotuvių“ . Laidojimo laikotarpiu etnografiniuose Lietuvos regionuose yra apstu įvairių giesmių, maldų ir apeigų. Tai ir Kryžiaus kelias, Žemaičių Kalvarijos kalnai, Švč. Jėzaus Vardo rožinis, Gedulinės valandos už mirusiuosius. Dzūkijoje šalia raudų giedami „Graudūs verksmai“ ir gedulinės valandos; Suvalkijoje – Švč. Jėzaus Vardo rožinis; Aukštaitijoje – 14–os stočių Kryžiaus kelias, o Žemaitijoje – Žemaičių Kalvarijos kalnai. Taip pat regionuose, kurie ribojasi su protestantų ar stačiatikių kraštais, dažnai giedamos Gedulinės valandos. Visus Lietuvos etnografinius regionus vienija šermenų apeigiškumas ir šermeninių giesmių giedojimas. / Funeral chantings, prayers and ceremonies play very important role in all catholic folk piety practices. During funeral there are lots of various chantings, prayers and ceremonies in all ethnographical regions of Lithuania. For example in Dzūkija (the southern part of Lithuania) aside from lamentations people use to chant Officium defunctorum (psalms for the dead) and pathetical mournings, remembering the Passion of Christ; in Suvalkija (south western part of Lithuania) is chanted the Rosary of The Name of Jesus; in Aukštaitija (the eastern part of Lithuania) is chanted the Way of the Cross (with 14 stations) and in Žemaitija (the western part of Lithuania) are chanted 20 stations of Calvary, called Samogitian Calvary way. In areas that border with protestant or orthodox traditions, there are performed Officium defunctorum quite often. And all the regions of Lithuania are unified by the ceremonies of funeral and funeral chantings.
