This study seeks to articulate how and to what extent the religious-education programs, faith formation, and spiritual ethos in Catholic schools can cultivate dialogue about and foster experiences of religion and God in light of the diversity of faith traditions present in the student population. The methodology involves demographic and document inquiry, participant observation, and individual, semistructured interviews using an analytical framework inspired by Thomas Groome’s seminal work on a shared Christian praxis. Research was conducted between November 2004 and March 2005. One school in Canada, one school in the United States, and two schools in India were observed, and 15 interviews were completed. What was demonstrated most clearly is that specific dialogue about religion and God is not a primary focus in any of the schools. Rather, their approaches seek to foster character development and religious tolerance based on the principles of moral and values education that are rooted in the experiences of the students. This study is useful for schools that desire to stimulate religious expression and dialogue that are rooted in, but not limited to, the narrow language of a single faith tradition.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--State University of New York at Buffalo, 1995. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 166-176).

This diploma thesis deals with the history and development of Catholic missions in Bolivian Chiquitánia since the 16th century to the present time. The work is divided into 7 chapters, which gradually evolve the historical context of evangelistic efforts in this area against the background of the colonial social system, which was replaced by other forms of economic and social relations, often unfair and abusive within the Indian populations, during the next centuries. The basis of this work is the exploration and analysis of resources, aimed at comparing the Jesuit Evangelization Mission in XVII. - XVIII. centuries and the situation in XX. century to the present. The final chapter is devoted to a concrete example of evangelization in the educational field, where the personal experience, observation and knowledge of the author are also used.

Durante este período, em função das novas relações históricas, os guarani e os membros da Companhia de Jesus transformaram a redução em um espaço singular onde era reproduzido seus valores culturais e, o mais importante, imputado-lhes um novo sentido. / The present study analyzes the culture rework process of the other from the sociocultural relations between indians and Jesuits in the reductions of the old Guairá Province, in which the Spanish priests had remained between the years of 1610 and 1631. During this period, into function of the new historical relations, guarani and the members of Jesus Company had transformed the reduction in a singular space where it was reproduced their cultural values and the most important, creating a new sense to them.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research seeks to explain issues related to the settlement and historical representations undertaken by the community of Rondinha/Santa Lúcia/Caibaté, in the Missões of Rio Grande do Sul, southern region of Brazil, in the early years of the twentieth century. We take as axis of analysis the territorial appropriation of this location to a better understanding of the process of integration between individuals of different origins that occurred in the rural community of Rondinha/Santa Lúcia. Its settlement occurred from settlers and shifting cultivators, in this case, descendants of european immigrants who were seeking new properties for economic growing, and a group of other persons who were already living there, and were linked to agricultural activities and usually linked to ranchers historically present in that space. The foundation of the Santa Lucia village and the construction of the Sanctuary of Caaro present themselves as intrinsic aspects to understand the firsts activities while community of that society, and the notion of past benchmarks that should be followed. Also we propose to understand how this concept of missioneirism continues to be made among the Pilgrimage‟s of Caaró of penitential character, as well the production of their narratives, for this it‟s essential to relate every aspect mentioned above. That way we can explain a little more about the peculiarities of this place, and who were the agents involved in the tangle of existing social relations in this mixed colony in the early decades of the twentieth century. / Esta pesquisa procura explicar questões relacionadas ao povoamento e as representações históricas assumidas pela comunidade de Rondinha/Santa Lúcia/Caibaté na região das Missões, noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul, ao longo das primeiras décadas do século XX. Tomamos por eixo de análise as formas de apropriação territorial neste local para melhor compreender o processo de integração entre indivíduos de diferentes origens que formou a comunidade rural de Rondinha/Santa Lúcia. Seu povoamento ocorreu a partir de colonos e caboclos, neste caso, descendentes de imigrantes europeus que buscavam novas propriedades para o cultivo, e indivíduos que já se encontravam no local, em menor número e ligados às atividades agropecuárias de estancieiros historicamente presentes naquele espaço. A fundação da vila Santa Lúcia e a construção do Santuário do Caaró apresentam-se como aspectos intrínsecos para a compreensão das primeiras atividades enquanto coletividade daquela sociedade e também a noção dos referenciais de passado que deveriam ser seguidos. Para isso utilizamos o conceito de missioneirismo, que continua a ser formulado em meio a Romaria do Caaró, de caráter penitencial, bem como a produção de suas narrativas. Dessa forma poderemos explicar um pouco mais sobre as peculiaridades deste local, e quem eram os agentes envolvidos neste emaranhado de relações sociais existentes nesta colônia mista nas primeiras décadas do século XX.

A proposta deste trabalho é examinar a tradução dos Clássicos Chineses realizada pelo missionário português Joaquim A. de Jesus Guerra S.J. (1908-1993). Nossos objetivos principais serão: a) caracterizar as diferentes posições no debate entre Joaquim Guerra e James Legge (eminente missionário e sinólogo escocês do séc. XIX) quanto a interpretação do confucionismo; b) elucidar, do ponto de vista da sinologia, aspectos decisivos da tradução de Joaquim Guerra, em particular a tradução do caracter Tian [] como \"Deus\" a qual se abre como chave hermenêutica para a interpretação universalizante do tradutor português. / The purpose of this work is to examine the translation of the Chinese Classics conducted by the Portuguese missionary Joaquim A. de Jesus Guerra S.J. (1908-1993). Our main objectives are: a) to characterize the different positions in the debate between Joaquim Guerra and James Legge (eminent Scottish missionary and sinologist of nineteenth century) regarding the interpretation of Confucianism; b) to clarify, from the point of view of sinology, key aspects of the translation of Joaquim Guerra, in particular the translation of the character Tian [] as \"God\" which unfolds as a hermeneutical key for the universalizing interpretation of the Portuguese translator.

INTRODUÇÃO: A Companhia de Jesus desde o seu início influenciou as mais diversas esferas da sociedade, incluindo o campo informacional. Uma das formas de exercer tal influência foi através das cartas escritas pelos religiosos. OBJETIVO: Identificar e analisar as primeiras prescrições para a escrita epistolar da Companhia de Jesus, investigando o conteúdo das prescrições e comparando-as entre si. MÉTODO: Revisão de literatura sobre o contexto histórico-informacional do século XVI, mais especificamente sobre as primeiras décadas da expansão do impresso e a epistolografia no período, focando nos manuais para a escrita de cartas; a revisão procurou ressaltar as contribuições dos jesuítas no contexto. RESULTADOS: O levantamento encontrou três normas epistolares nos primeiros anos da Companhia: as Reglas (1547), alguns artigos das Constituições relativos ao tema (1558) e a Formula scribendi (1565), cuja tradução em língua portuguesa foi feita exclusivamente para este trabalho. A análise delas mostrou que a Companhia elaborou normativas rígidas para a produção e circulação das cartas, mas que possibilitaram a criação de uma verdadeira rede de informações epistolares pelo mundo. CONCLUSÕES: Os jesuítas tiveram papel relevante no contexto informacional do século XVI, sobretudo através de suas cartas. Por determinarem questões como autores, destinatários, temas das cartas e seus prazos, as normas epistolares foram de essencial importância para a manutenção dessa rede de informações. / INTRODUCTION: The Society of Jesus from its inception has influenced the most diverse spheres of society, including the informational field. One of the ways of exercising such influence was through the letters written by the religious. OBJECTIVE: To identify and analyze the first prescriptions for the epistolary writing of the Society of Jesus, investigating their contents and comparing them with each other. METHOD: Literature review on the historical-informational context of the sixteenth century, more specifically on the first decades of print expansion and epistolography in the period, focusing on manuals for writing letters; the review sought to emphasize the contributions of the Jesuits in the context. RESULTS: The survey found three epistolary norms in the first years of the Society: the Rules (1547), some articles of the Constitutions (1558) on the subject and the Formula scribendi (1565), whose translation into Portuguese was made exclusively for this work. Their analysis showed that the Society developed rigid norms for the production and circulation of letters, but that made possible the creation of a true network of epistolary information throughout the world. CONCLUSIONS: The Jesuits played a relevant role in the informational context of the sixteenth century, especially through their letters. By determining issues such as authors, recipients, themes of the letters and their deadlines, the rules of letters were of essential importance for the maintenance of this information network.

According to our hypothesis, the introduction of the eurochristian culture among the Guarani took place through intense cultural negotiation between the parties involved. This movement inaugurated the construction of intersubjective bridges between the Indians and the religious, which therefore resulted in a hybrid culture, with aspects of both the Guarani and the Christian cultures, redefined in the missionary area, that will be treated as an in-between place. We will discuss the interpretation of the cultural practices of the Guarani, their appropriation and further representation of the Gentile Indian and the Reduced Indian. The sources that feed our approach include, in particular, the writings of Father Antonio Ruiz de Montoya, one of the pioneers of reductional experience in the region. / O trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o processo civilizador empregado pelos jesuítas nas missões do Guairá entre os anos de 1609 e 1632, tendo como referência teórica central o conceito de negociação cultural, assim como concebido por Hommi Bhabha. De acordo com a nossa hipótese, a introdução da cultura eurocristã entre os Guarani se deu mediante intensa negociação cultural entre as partes envolvidas. Esse movimento inaugurou a construção de pontes intersubjetivas entre indígenas e religiosos, o que resultou, por consequência, na origem de uma cultura híbrida, que mesclou aspectos da cultura Guarani e Cristã, ressignificando-os em um espaço missioneiro, que será tratado como um entre-lugar. Analisaremos a interpretação das práticas culturais dos Guarani, a sua apropriação e a posterior representação da identidade do índio gentio e do índio reduzido. As fontes que alimentam a nossa abordagem contemplam, sobretudo, os escritos do Padre Antonio Ruiz de Montoya, um dos pioneiros da experiência reducional na região.
