Kirche im Café : eine empirisch-theologische Studie über die Chancen, Grenzen und Perspektiven missionaler Café-Kirchen / Church in a coffee shop : an empirical-theological study of the opportunities and challenges presented by missional café churches and their future outlookMutz, Sebastian Johannes 11 1900 (has links)
Text in German with summaries in German and English / In dieser Forschungsarbeit geht es um die empirisch-theologische Erforschung von
Chancen, Grenzen und Perspektiven missionaler Café-Kirchen aus der Sicht von Verantwortlichen entsprechender Projekte. Dabei spielen Fragen nach Theologie, Ekklesiologie und gelebter Spiritualität ebenso eine Rolle wie die konkreten Erfahrungen.
Auf Grundlage einer missiologischen Perspektive (missionale Kirche, Fresh Expressions
of Church) und einer soziologischen Perspektive (Sinus-Milieustudie, Third Places),
die den aktuellen Forschungsstand berücksichtigen, werden durch zwölf qualitative Experteninterviews empirische Daten erhoben, die mit der Grounded Theory nach Strauss
& Corbin analysiert werden.
Anschließend werden die empirischen Ergebnisse mit den theoretischen Reflexionen in
Beziehung gesetzt und missiologisch reflektiert. Durch die Untersuchung konnte gestgestellt werden, dass missionale Café-Kirchen große Chancen beinhalten, das Evangelium in relevanter Weise zu leben und auch theologisch als Kirche im Vollsinn definiert zu werden. Gleichzeitig gibt es jedoch Grenzen und Herausforderungen, die bedacht werden sollten, wenn diese Café-Kirchen auch zukünftig ihre missionale Relevanz behalten wollen. / The subject of this research paper is the empirical-theological exploration of the opportunities,
challenges and perspectives of missional café churches from the viewpoint of
the leaders of corresponding projects. With that, questions regarding theology, ecclesiology
and lived spirituality play just as much of a role as tangible experience. On the basis
of a missional perspective (missional church, fresh expressions of church) and a sociological
perspective (Sinus-Milieu study, third places), which take the current state of
research into account, empirical data will be obtained from twelve qualitative expert
interviews; this data will then be analyzed using the Grounded Theory from Strauss &
Corbin. Subsequently, the empirical results will be related to the theoretical reflections
and deliberated from a missional perspective. The research lead to the conclusion that
missional café churches have a great deal of potential to live out the Gospel in a relevant
manner and to be defined theologically as a church in its full sense. On the other
hand however, there are limits and challenges that ought to be considered, if these café
churches are to maintain their missional relevance in the future. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

Exploration of the healing ministry in the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC)Tacheche, Nchangfu Florence 12 1900 (has links)
The renewal of interest in religious healing methods in the past few decades, in response to various perspectives of illnesses, is ‘blowing’ through the PCC-one of the reformed churches in Africa. There are two underlying assumptions in this project: the first is that sickness constitutes a major threat to good health and the second is that the ministry of healing in the PCC is not contextual in view of respecting and incorporating the cultural, social, religious beliefs and values of its people in the formation of meaningful healing ministry. The healing ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon is lacking in efficacy and essence because it does not make much meaning in the lives of the sick and their relatives.
This project gives an overview of some of the causes of tensions that exist in the
PCC concerning its ministry of healing. It critically analysis, interprets and discusses the
empirical results of 26 (20 laity and six clergy) members of the Musang congregation alongside some theological reflections. The project explored and highlighted the importance of the traditional worldview regarding health, illness, healing and defines healing as the work of God and that it is imperative for the Church to focus on a more meaningful healing ministry that includes physical, spiritual, social and psychological aspects, thus healing needs to be holistic.
Putting together the results of the literature review, the empirical research and the critical and theological reflections, the project suggests and affirms that there are theological, practical and socio-cultural reasons for the PCC to rethink, reformulate and reshape its healing ministry in the light of Jesus’ healing ministry. The project points out the theological, practical and cultural basis for a more meaningful ministry of healing within the PCC.
These results reveal that the PCC has no choice but to embrace this emerging biblical healing ministry if it truly wants to remain faithful and in obedience to Jesus’ three but inseparable ministries of preaching, teaching and healing.
Finally, the project proposes an integrated healing service as one of the ways towards a more practical and meaningful ministry of healing in the PCC at home and in the diaspora. Some objective comments and recommendations are also made. / Practical Theology / D. Th. (Practical Theology)

Sen o pozemském ráji v Dostojevského dílech / Dream about the Paradise on Earth in the Work of DostojevskijNetopilová, Barbora January 2013 (has links)
The dream about an earthly paradise, rediscovery of an original, absolutely harmonic paradisal life is, in Dostoevskij's opinion, one of the deepest and the most valuable dreams of the human heart. The spiritual course of any human being has its own history, it is born from thesis (babtism), goes through antithesis (crises) and finishes in synthesis (beauty). A man comes from the Eden Paradise and aims at heaven. So, a man in course of his spiritual life is in a real split into two paradises: the Eden Paradise from which he is coming from and the Kingdom of God where he is aiming at. The midpoint of the life course is accompanied by a crisis, that can also be described as separation from the the paradise. The characters of novels by Dostoevskij failed due to the fact, that they were not able to admit their presence between two "paradise states" and so their ideas about earthly paradise establishment were being corrupted. In our piece of work we are going to follow four trends: 1. Time corruption, incorrectly understood sense of history. The tendency to return back where a man came from, in an origenestic, cyclic interpretation of a comeback is apparent in a story The Dream of a Ridiculous Man. Another extreme shows marxism ideas going around Europe which deny both the importance and the sense of...
