Les relations entre l'Église et l'État dans l'Hérault de 1900 à 1926Malhey-Dupart, Cécile 20 March 2010 (has links)
Cette étude, qui ne cherche par l’exhaustivité, se présente plutôt comme un « état des lieux », à l’échelle départementale, de l’impact des relations Église/État sur l’opinion. Elle décrit les prises de position, les réactions et des démarches pour ou contre la politique de l’État face à l’Église durant plus de vingt-cinq ans. La période étudiée, qui s’étend de 1900 à 1926, débute à la mise en place des lois contre les congrégations religieuses et des mesures de laïcisation de l’espace public qui font suite à la politique anticléricale largement entamée au cours du siècle précédent. Elle se termine avec la condamnation de l’Action française par le Vatican et la fin du Cartel des Gauches. Elle passe également par la loi de Séparation de l’Eglise et de l’Etat de 1905 et par la Première Guerre mondiale, quand les curés devinrent frères d’armes. L’Hérault apparaît comme un département contrasté, à forte composante anticléricale mais où la religion garde néanmoins toute sa place. En effet, dans ce département réputé appartenir au « Midi rouge » et qui aurait dû, si on se fie à cette « image d’Epinal », soutenir dans son ensemble la politique anticléricale du gouvernement radical-socialiste, la résistance a pu parfois atteindre la passion et présenter les mêmes péripéties que dans des régions réputées de tradition catholique et conservatrice. / This study is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather a description of the impact of the relations between Church and State on public opinion in the Hérault department. It presents the various stances, reactions and steps taken in favour of, or against, state policies concerning the Church over a period of more than twenty-five years. The period investigated, between 1900 and 1926, starts with the enactment of the laws against religious institutions and the measures taken to secularise the public domain, following on from the anticlerical policies begun during the previous century, and ends with the condemnation of “Action Française” by the Vatican and the demise of the “Left Wing Cartel”. It also includes the separation of Church and State in 1905 and World War I, during which priests served in the French army. There were marked differences of belief in the Hérault department where there was not only a strong anti-clerical movement but also great importance attached to religion. For, in this department, well-known as a “red” department, resistance to the above measures could reach passionate heights similar to those in some areas known for their Catholic and conservative traditions.

An analysis of employee organisational commitment in the Cenacle of Salvation Church : a communication perspectiveNtsonyane, Marie Mary 10 1900 (has links)
This study explores the contribution of communication on organisational commitment
within the Cenacle of Salvation Church. Religious institutions are increasing at a
speedy rate and their employees are also increasing, it is therefore, important to
explore areas of employee wellness such as commitment in these institutes.
Through a mixed method research within the Cenacle of Salvation Church in
Lesotho, the study exploredcommunication as a contributing factor to
organisationalcommitment. Allen and Meyer’s model (1991) of organisational
commitment does not include communication as one of its elements, this is the gap
the study aimed to fill. Interviews and surveys were conducted, and the study found
that communication within the church is very effective, different communication
methods are used in the church to keep employees abreast and this enhances their
commitment. The study also foundthat communication strategies such as feedback
play a major role in influencing organisational commitment.Therefore, it can be said
that communication is a contributing factor to organisational
commitment.Nonetheless,the study recommends that the church keeps up with the
latest technological media and communication channels to further enhance
employee satisfaction with the communication in the church and thereby remain
committed. The study further recommends thatcommunication interventions and
workshops should be expanded internationally sothat the church can learn from
other international churches regarding waysused to keep their employees more
motivated and committed through communication. / Communication Science / M.A. (Communication Science)

Religion in Steyr: Überblick über Glaubensgemeinschaften eine Religionstopographische Bestandsaufnahme im Interesse der Mission = Religion in Steyr: an overview of faith communities a topographical survey of religion in the interest of missionRathmair, Franz 30 November 2005 (has links)
Since about 20 years, local religious studies are being conducted in certain cities of German
speaking Europe. These surveys deal scientifically with certain segments or with the
total span of religious communities. This study about Steyr, Austria (42.000 inhabitants) is
the first one that combines religious topography of a city with the gathering and comparison
of statistical data of all its religious communities, covering the years 1995 - 2004.
The partly surprising results confirm trends that national socio-religious studies
have pointed out over the last years. At the same time the findings of this study complement
other studies by looking also at minor religious bodies. Comparisons of local statistical
trends in Steyr with the corresponding larger religious body in Austria show whether
growth, stagnation or decline is typical for a community. At the end the researcher reflects
on the contribution of this type of study to the field of missiology.

An assessment of the influence of religion on gender equality and women empowerment : the case of Mulanje District MalawiKajawo, Caroline Takondwa 05 August 2013 (has links)
Qualitative and quantitative research designs were employed to assess the influence of religion on gender equality and women empowerment in Mulanje district in Malawi. Qualitative data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires through interview with 18 key informants who were sampled by judgmental sampling and 4 FGDs with men and women belonging to different religions who were sampled by stratified random sampling. Quantitative data was collected using a self administered questionnaire to 130 participants sampled by stratified random sampling. Quantitative data was analyzed by using SPSS computer program version 16.0 in order to reach to a valid conclusion. The analysis of the data involved descriptive statistics. For qualitative data, themes were induced from the interview with key informants and FGD. Findings have revealed positive religious teachings and beliefs that have empowered women and promoted equality between men and women. Nevertheless, the study has also revealed that discriminatory religious teachings and attitudes are a reality in religious institutions and these have influenced not only the way women are treated in religious institutions but also the way women look at themselves. In light of the findings, recommendations have been made to the government of Malawi, religious institutions, religious leaders and CSOs to take appropriate actions to promote gender equality and women empowerment in Mulanje district. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)

Pressupostos da prática educativa na Diocese de Caxias do Sul : 1934 a 1952Grazziotin, Roque Maria Bocchese 25 March 2010 (has links)
O estudo procura fazer uma análise dos pressupostos que fundamentam o Projeto de Restauração Católica na Diocese de Caxias do Sul, no período de 1934 a 1952. Os dados sobre as linhas norteadoras e os princípios cristãos e filosóficos, seguidos pelos colégios confessionais pioneiros em Caxias do Sul, foram levantados junto aos arquivos das instituições: Colégio São José, Escola Nossa Senhora do Carmo e Seminário Nossa Senhora Aparecida, e também consulta aos arquivos do Círculo Operário Caxiense, instituição que procurou, por meio da educação informal, ministrar cursos aos trabalhadores. As bases desses pressupostos, que vêm explícitos nesta pesquisa do mestrado em Educação da Universidade de Caxias do Sul, na linha de História e Filosofia da Educação, remontam ao Concílio de Trento, que unificou a doutrina, a disciplina e a prática da Igreja Católica. O fim do regime do Padroado no Brasil, mais a vinda de imigrantes e de congregações religiosas européias para o Brasil, no fim do século XIX, permitiram que esse Projeto se consolidasse no Rio Grande do Sul. Os mecanismos adotados por essas instituições favoreceram a coexistência colaborativa com o Estado laico e difundiram a importância de relações harmoniosas entre capital e trabalho para alcançar o desenvolvimento e combater o comunismo. As conclusões a que este estudo chegou é que a construção da proposta educativa desenvolvida pelas instituições religiosas, baseada na qualidade de ensino, no ambiente e disciplina escolar, nas atividades educativas complementares e na participação em atividades religiosas e sociais, contribuiu, de um lado, para o desenvolvimento político, social e cultural do município de Caxias do Sul e dos municípios da região da Serra Gaúcha; e, de outro lado, para o desenvolvimento do espírito comunitário, humano e fraterno, próprios do catolicismo, marcados nas populações dessas regiões. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-02T16:24:45Z

Mapping the contribution of faith-based organizations to the Sustainable Development Goals : a case study of World Relief KenyaMutie, Rogers Kyalo 05 1900 (has links)
The Sustainable Development Goals SDGs were adopted in 2015. The contribution of FBOs in their achievement is however, not properly recognised owing partly to the historical perception of FBOs as peripheral rather than core development actors. Using the case study of one FBO in Kenya, this study examined the relevance of FBOs’ development work to the SDGs. Using Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and a literature review for data collection, the study found that: FBOs possess a dual identity (faith and development). The faith identity gives them some comparative advantages over secular counterparts in engaging local faith communities; there was a direct link between the FBOs’ work and the SDGs. The case study organisation directly contributed to six of the 17 SDGs; the FBOs’ knowledge on SDGs and their engagement with SDG forums were found to be limited. The study recommends a renewed attention to FBOs work and more studies to increase evidence on the FBOs’ role and impact on SDGs. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)

Der Stand der Demokratisierung und der Herausbildung einer Zivilgesellschaft in Ägypten am Beispiel des Diskurses über die autochthone christliche Minderheit der KoptenMacêdo, Martina Bolz de Jesus 19 October 2009 (has links)
Die Meinungen über die Chancen einer Demokratisierung im Nahen und Mittleren Osten sind geteilt. Diese Arbeit versucht für Ägypten eine Einschätzung zu geben. Als bevölkerungsreichstes und eines der politisch bedeutsamsten Länder der Region könnte es eine Vorbildfunktion einnehmen. Die Dissertation untersucht an einem Fallbeispiel, den Ausschreitungen zwischen Muslimen und Christen in einem oberägyptischen Dorf 1999/ 2000, in welcher Form und in welchem Ausmaß sich staatliche Akteure, religiöse Institutionen und die Bürger zum heiklen Thema der Gefährdung der Rechte von Minderheiten im öffentlichen Diskurs zu Wort melden und dabei das Kriterium des Pluralismus, im Sinne von Toleranz und Ablehnung von Gewalt, erfüllen. Pessimistische Stimmen versagen dem Nahen und Mittleren Osten insbesondere wegen der dort vorherrschenden Religion eine Reformierbarkeit der politischen Kultur und stigmatisieren den Islam als Demokratisierungshindernis. Diese Arbeit beobachtet jedoch, dass es empirisch bereits einige Merkmale gibt, die auf eine Zunahme von Pluralismus in der ägyptischen Gesellschaft hindeuten. Sie zeigt die Anzeichen für die Herausbildung einer freien Öffentlichkeit und einer Zivilgesellschaft auf, die langfristig auf die Konsolidierung von Demokratie und nicht auf deren Zerstörung hinarbeitet. Gleichzeitig ist diese Arbeit eine Art in Szene gesetztes, lebendiges „Who is who?“ der gegenwärtigen Minderheiten- und Menschenrechtsbewegung in Ägypten. 1 / The current status of democratization and civil society development in Egypt through the example of the discourse on the indigenous Christian minority of the Copts. Opinions regarding the chances of democratization in the Middle East are divided. The thesis attempts to give an evaluation in the case of Egypt. As the most populous and one of the politically most influencing countries of that region Egypt could take the function of a role model. The dissertation investigates, on the basis of a case study – the clashes between Muslims and Christians in an Upper Egyptian village in 1999/ 2000 - in what form and to what extent state actors, religious institutions and citizens take a stand in public discourse on the sensitive issue of endangering the rights of minorities and thereby meet the criteria of pluralism in the sense of tolerance and rejection of violence. Pessimistic voices deny the Middle East a reformability of its political culture particularly with regard to the predominating religion there and stigmatize Islam as an obstacle to democratization. This study however, shows empirically that there are already some indications that point towards an increase of pluralism in Egyptian society and towards the development of a free public sphere and a civil society that in the long term can lead to the consolidation of democracy and not to its destruction. At the same time this study is a kind of status report and “Who’s who?” of the current minority – and human rights movement in Egypt.
