No. of bitstreams: 1 Jose Carlos de Souza.pdf: 1760507 bytes, checksum: aec17ae56ea81e16f30f47687f1672ce (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-04-08 / John Wesley by examining not only what is explicit in his writings regarding the church, but also what is implicit in the social and missionary practices of the first Methodists. As a basis for this discussion, the research presents a panorama of discussions about the Wesleyan concept of church, particularly as developed in the last fifty years. The value of such research is recognized in light of aiding in the creation of certain convergences around the main themes of Wesley s vision. In many of these, one can observe efforts to accommodate fragmen ed Wesleyan reflections into a previously defined scheme of interpretation. From conservative and supporter of the established Church to schismatic and radical theologian, almost all types of skills and abilities have been assigned to him. Certainly, Wesley assimilated the contribution of various theological and ecclesiastical currents. This reveals the complexity of his theology, and its resistance to simplistic explanations. But what determines his choices is a question that is not frequently raised. This research sustains the thesis that it was not the attachment to principles considered orthodox but the encounter with the poor that led Wesley to open himself to a growing understanding of the church which was, at same time, sensitive to persons excluded from English society and sufficiently flexible to adjust itself to changing situations. He broke with hierarchical ecclesiology, in which he was formed, and introduced a fundamentally lay concept of the church. He challenged the monopoly of the clergy and openly promoted the priesthood of all believers, for both men and women. He rejected individualism and appreciated responsible community life. He discarded parochialism and an exclusivist interpretation of the church and embraced ecumenicity as an essential character of the Church of Christ. Finally his theological concerns are concentrated on via salutis, on the renewal of the whole of creation, by the grace of God with responsible human participation, such that the church becomes relative. / A presente investigação se concentra na eclesiologia prática, experimental e funcional de John Wesley, examinando não apenas o que se encontra explícito em seus escritos sobre a igreja, mas também o que está implícito na práxis social e missionária dos primeiros metodistas. Antes, porém, é traçado um panorama das discussões em torno da concepção wesleyana de igreja, desenvolvidas, sobretudo, nos últimos cinqüenta anos. O valor dessas pesquisas é reconhecido, pois elas ajudaram a criar certa convergência em torno dos principais temas da visão de Wesley. Entretanto, em boa parte delas, nota-se esforço em enquadrar a fragmentada reflexão wesleyana em algum esquema de interpretação previamente definido. De conservador e defensor da Igreja estabelecida a cismático radical, quase todas as qualificações lhe foram atribuídas. É certo que Wesley assimilou a contribuição de várias correntes, o que oferece justa dimensão da complexidade de sua teologia, resistente a explicações simplistas. Nem sempre, porém, se indaga sobre o que determinou as suas preferências. Aqui é sustentada a tese de que não foi o apego a princípios considerados ortodoxos, mas o encontro com o povo que levou Wesley à abertura crescente para uma compreensão da igreja, ao mesmo, sensível ao sofrimento dos excluídos da sociedade inglesa, e flexível para se ajustar a conjunturas em mutação constante. Ele rompeu com a eclesiologia hierárquica, em que foi formado, e pôs em prática uma concepção fundamentalmente laica de igreja. Quebrou o monopólio do clero e tornou realidade o sacerdócio de todos os crentes, tanto de homens quanto de mulheres. Rejeitou o individualismo e valorizou a vida comunitária responsável. Desfez a interpretação paroquialista e exclusivista de igreja e abraçou a ecumenicidade como caráter essencial da Igreja de Cristo. Enfim, centralizou-se na via salutis, na renovação de toda a criação, pela graça de Deus com a participação humana responsável, e relativizou a própria Igreja.

Worldwide liturgical music finds itself in a crisis. Liturgical music is made the scapegoat for everything that is wrong with liturgy, whereas the problems rather derive from the worship service as a whole, the theological thinking and the cultural environment in which the worship service is performed. Stereotyped liturgical forms, a cognitive verbalism, the demand for intelligibility, the loss of the poetic form of the liturgy, the disregard for symbols and rituals, the absence of visual and other art forms in the liturgy, the influence of the popular music culture and especially the lack of a profound theological reflection with regard to the essential place of music in the liturgy, are all contributing factors that have a negative influence on liturgical music. The worship service is surrounded by a postmodern culture, aspects of which might provide positive opportunities for the liturgy. A broader notion of rationality that includes the affective, non-cognitive dimensions of being human, opens up possibilities for the aesthetic, as well as the religious experience. The recognition of symbols, images, imagination and metaphors opens up new horizons for the worship service as Gesamtkunstwerk. Anti-foundationalistic thinking demands an open canon with regard to the liturgy and liturgical song. Ecumenicity as an expression of the postmodern 'global village' renders a plurality of liturgical and musical possibilities. Aspects that might influence the reception of liturgical songs and songbooks, such as a spirit of anti-authoritarianism must be borne in mind. The liturgical training of ministers of religion, especially with regard to their aesthetic formation must be given due attention. The reflection on liturgy with regard to the role of art and music as communicative acts, based on new theological insights, must come into full swing. Liturgical music can only be fully appreciated where liturgical renewal takes form in a comprehensive way and where theologically the space is opened up for music as a form of art that has the ability to communicate symbolically, especially that which defies clearcut definition - as such being a communicative act serving the gospel. / Liturgiese musiek verkeer wereldwyd in 'n krisis. Kritiek word dikwels slegs voor die deur van die musiek gele, terwyl die probleem verband hou met die erediens as geheel, die teologiese denke en met die kulturele omstandighede waarbinne die erediens plaasvind. Geykte liturgiese vorms, 'n kognitiewe-verbalisme, die oorbeklemtoonde eis om verstaanbaarheid, 'n verlies aan die kunsgestalte van die erediens, 'n miskenning van die simboliese waarde van rituele en handelinge, die gebrek aan visuele en ander kunsvorme, die invloed van die omringende musiekkultuur en veral die gebrek aan 'n grondige teologiese besinning ten opsigte van musiek in die erediens, bring die funksie, aard en wesenlike plek van liturgiese musiek in gedrang. Die erediens staan binne 'n · postmodernistiese denkkultuur waarvan sekere aspekte positiewe moontlikhede ten opsigte van die erediens kan bied. Die breer rasionaliteitsbegrip, wat ruimte open vir die affektiewe en nie-kognitiewe dimensies van menswees, skep nuwe ruimte vir die estetiese ervaring en die rol van ervaring in die geloofsproses. Die erkenning van simbole, simboolwerelde, metafore, beelde en verbeelding, bied nuwe moontlikhede vir die erediens as Gesamtkunstwerk. Die oog vir die heropname van die historiese en die simboliese bied ook geleentheid vir die herstel van die tradisionele lied. 'n Gees van anti-fundamentalisme vereis 'n oop kanon ten opsigte van die liturgie en die liturgiese lied. Ekumenisiteit as vorm van die postmoderne global village bied 'n pluraliteit van liturgiese en musikale moontlikhede. 'n Nie-outoritere tydsgees en die ontkenning van 'n 'kundigheidsgroep' deur die postmodernisme, moet verreken word as faktore wat 'n rol kan speel by die resepsie van liedere en gesangboeke. Die liturgiese opleiding, veral met betrekking tot die estetiese vorming van predikante, moet grondig aandag kry. Die besinning rondom die liturgie met betrekking tot die rol van kuns en musiek as kommunikatiewe handelinge moet op grond van nuwere teologiese insigte tereg kom. Die tese van hierdie studie is dat die kerklied, oud of nuut, eers daar tereg sal kom waar van liturgiese vernuwing in die omvattende sin sprake is en waar teologies die ruimte vir musiek as kunsvorm met die vermoe tot simboliese vergestalting - as sodanig dus kommunikatiewe handeling in diens van die Evangelia - verreken word. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / D.

This paper deals with Christian spiritual ministry offered to accused and convicted prisoners in the prisons in the Czech Republic. First the paper treats the up to date penology trends and penitentiary systems in the Euro American realm and the system in the Czech Republic in detail. The second part is focused on the non-governmental organisation Vězeňská duchovenská péče (Penitentiary spiritual solicitude), the prison chaplains, ecumenicity and relations between the prison staff and the clergymen. The following chapter is based on interviews with experienced prison chaplains, their opinions concerning the contemporary conditions in prisons and services offered to the prisoners. It is obvious, that the clergyman cannot be substituted in his task by any other professional among the prison staff. A clergyman is often the last one who can see any hope in cases where the other specialists have already given up. He can work with the accepting of guilt and searching for values very well. The future of the ministerial services in the prisons in the Czech Republic depends on the active and supportive cooperation with the Penitentiary Service of the Czech Republic and ecumenical openness.

Text in Afrikaans / Die lied en musiekinstrumente speel 'n baie belangrike rol in die Bybel. Die Moseslied (Eks 15) word in die Psalms aangehaal en kulmineer in die 11 nuwe 11 lied van Openbaring - die lied van die "nuwe" hemel en die 11 nuwe 11 aarde wat verlostes saam sal sing. Die brandende vraag wat "reg" of hoegenaamd standpunt ingeneem moet perspektief (die Woord van God) "verkeerd" is en of daar word, word uit 'n Bybelse beantwoord, gegrond op die beginsel van die Reformasie: ecclessia reformata semper reformandum. Die geskiedenis van die lied van die vroee kerk tot by die Ref ormasie word kursories behandel. Die lied wat in die geskiedenis uit die mond van die gelowige, die lidmaat gehaal is en aan die priesters oorgelaat is, word deur Luther weer teruggeplaas in die mond van die gelowige. Dit blyk dat Calvyn, tsv die Ref ormasie slagspreuk, in sommige aspekte van sy beskouing van die kerklied, steeds 'n Roomse standpunt bly handhaaf en net tot by die vroee kerk "gereformeer" het. Slegs sgn "heilige" liedere, direk uit die Bybel, musiek sender instrumentale begeleiding, kon gebruik word. Saam met ons voorsate, wat van oa Nederland gekom het, het ons liederebundels gekom. Van Riebeeck het met die Datheense Psalter (die amptelike Nederlandse kerklied) wat later deur die 1805- "Evangelische Gezangen" aangevul is, geland.

Die 1805-"Evangelische Gezangen", alhoewel dit hartlik verwelkom is, het gelei tot misnoee in Colesberg en later in Rustenburg, wat op sy beurt gelei het tot kerkskeuring.

In die kampe was daar baie tyd vir die sing en skep van gewyde liedere. Nie-goedgekeurde bundels en die vertaling van die Bybel in Afrikaans (1933) het aanleiding gegee dat liederebundels hersien moes word.
