    DARE: Holy Trinity College Theological Journal 103 The First Missionaries’ Work in Africa: Ivory Coast Case Study Benjamin Yavo OFM Introduction All Christians are missionaries. However, some people dedicate themselves especially for missionary activities. And through their laborious work, the Gospel reached many parts of the world. Ivory Coast, country situated in West Africa, knew Christianity through missionary work. After many trials, the first missionaries succeeded to put a strong foundation to Christianity into this country. This article will try to elaborate on the strengths and weaknesses of the first missionaries in Ivory Coast and the lessons to take from it. To do so, three parts will constitute the article. First, a brief story of the beginning of mission in this country will be given. After that, from that story the strengths and weaknesses of the missionaries will be exposed. Lastly, the lessons from it will follow. Brief Story of the First Missions in Ivory Coast Mission in Ivory Coast begins in the 17th Century. In fact, the first attempt of evangelization began in 1637 with five Capuchins who lived for a short time in Assinie (a town in the south of the country), before being swept away by diseases. The first Ivorian baptized was named Aniaba, son of a chief in Ivory Coast. Nouvelle Evangelisation gives some details explaining that in 1687 during a military and religious expedition sent by King Louis XIV of France, he was brought back to France. He received a French education and was baptized by the bishop Bossuet, with Louis XIV as godfather. In 1700, Aniaba returned to his country and immediately afterwards became pagan.

  • Le Rapport Église-Monde Dans Les Interventions Des Évêques D'afrique Noire Aux Assemblées Du Synode Des Évêques De 1967 À 2009
    Le rapport Église-monde dans les interventions des évêques d'Afrique noire aux Assemblées du Synode des évêques de 1967 à 2009 Thèse Alain Patrick David Doctorat en théologie Philosophiæ doctor (Ph. D.) Québec, Canada © Alain Patrick David, 2015 RÉSUMÉ Quelle conception du rapport Église-monde émerge des interventions des évêques d’Afrique noire aux Assemblées du Synode des évêques tenues entre 1967 et 2009? Telle est la question que cherche à élucider la présente étude. Il s’agit, d’une part, de procéder à une étude des interventions des évêques et, d’autre part, de comprendre la vision que ceux- ci ont de l’Église et de sa relation avec le monde dans lequel elle vit et avec qui elle cherche à dialoguer. La modalité du dialogue avec le monde se pose et elle est à préciser. Dans un premier temps, l’enracinement de cette recherche théologique et ecclésiologique est celui d’un acte de lecture. Le travail de constitution et de présentation du corpus, de même que l’interrogation du contexte de l’Afrique contemporaine et du contexte ecclésial de l’Église d’Afrique comme lieu d’énonciation de la parole épiscopale, ont disposé et conduit à l’analyse des interventions des évêques à partir d’une relation, celle de l’Église au monde. Dans un deuxième temps, par une traversée de l’ensemble du corpus, les éléments recueillis ont été redéployés en vue d’un essai de l’ecclésiologie qui se profile à l’analyse des interventions des évêques d’Afrique subsaharienne. Pour y parvenir, nous avons travaillé successivement la problématique de la relation Église-monde à Vatican II et dans les interventions des évêques africains pour enfin, dégager les principaux modèles ecclésiologiques auxquels ceux-ci recourent.

  • Joseph Cardijn and the Jocist Network at Vatican II by Stefan Robert Gigacz, LL.B., LL.M
    The Leaven in the Council: Joseph Cardijn and the Jocist Network at Vatican II By Stefan Robert Gigacz, LL.B., LL.M. (Legal Theory), DEA Canon Law. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Divinity 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates the role and impact of Joseph Cardijn, founder of the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne (Young Christian Workers) movement, and the jocist network of bishops and periti at the Second Vatican Council. It adopts a longue durée approach, locating Cardijn within a tradition of Catholic social thought and action that developed in the wake of Europe’s nineteenth century industrial and democratic revolutions. It highlights the influence of the Lamennais School, and Marc Sangnier’s Sillon movement as sources for his work. Secondly, it traces the influence of Cardijn, his theology and methods over the half century prior to the Council, particularly the well-known see-judge-act method, which formed part of his “Three Truths” Christian dialectic. It also documents the emergence of a global network of JOC and/or Specialised Catholic Action chaplains experienced in these methods, many of whom would become key conciliar actors. Thirdly, it examines the role at Vatican II played by Cardijn, the jocist-formed bishops and periti, as well as several lay leaders from the movement, who became lay auditors. It particularly examines Cardijn’s role in the Preparatory Commission on Lay Apostolate and its successor the conciliar Lay Apostolate Commission in the drafting of the Decree on Lay Apostolate, Apostolicam Actuositatem, and the Doctrinal Constitution Lumen Gentium, as well as the impact of his book, Laïcs en premières lignes, published in English as Laymen into Action.
