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. Au terme, une synthèse interroge, à la lumière des concepts de solidarité, de dialogue et de service de Gaudium et spes, la pertinence de la contribution ecclésiologique des évêques d’Afrique. iii ABSTRACT What comprehension of the Church-world relationship emerges from the discussions of the bishops of Black Africa at the meetings of their Synod of bishops between 1967 and 2009? This is the question our present study seeks to explore. On the one hand, it proposes a study of the bishops' discussions, and on the other, it seeks to comprehend the vision which they have of the Church and of her relationship with the world in which it lives – a world with which it seeks to dialogue. The modality of this dialogue with the world is a question that arises, and must be specified. In the first place, the foundation of this theological and ecclesiological research is an exercise in reading the texts. The exercise consists of bringing together and presenting a body of work; as well as examining the context of contemporary Africa, and the ecclesial context of the Church of Africa as the location in which these episcopal communications have been delivered. These contextual elements prepare us for – and lead us into – an analysis of the bishops' discussions from the perspective of a relationship: that of the Church with the world. In the second section, the elements gathered from a search through the whole body of work have been reorganized into a summary of the ecclesiological profile which emerges from an analysis of these discussions by the bishops of Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to reach that point, we have worked through the problem of Church-world relationship in both Vatican II and in the discussions of the African bishops, with the goal of ultimately identifying the principal ecclesiological models which run through them. At the end, in light of the concepts of solidarity, dialogue, and service which are present in Gaudium et spes, a final synthesis evaluates the ecclesiological contribution of the bishops of Africa. v TABLE DES MATIERES Résumé .................................................................................................................................. iii Abstract ................................................................................................................................... v Table des matières ............................................................................................................... vii Liste des sigles ....................................................................................................................... xi Liste des tableaux ................................................................................................................ xiii Liste des figures .................................................................................................................... xv Remerciements ..................................................................................................................... xix Introduction générale .............................................................................................................. 1 Première partie Présentation et analyse du corpus de travail ................................................ 11 Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 13 Chapitre 1 Constitution et présentation du corpus ............................................................... 17 Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 19 1.

  • ABCD Overtop but Continued Efforts Urged the Archbishops Charities Drive Has Gone Over Its Goal of $2.5 Million, "However," Archbishop Coleman F
    ^VOICE APRIL 1. 1977 PRICE 25c VOL. XIX No. 4 ABCD overtop but continued efforts urged The Archbishops Charities Drive has gone over its goal of $2.5 million, "however," Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll said, "because of the inflationary period the nation is going through, it is hoped that efforts will continue to bring the ABCD total higher." Gifts and pledges to the drive to date have brought the total to $2,733,146, Msgr. John O'Dowd, V.F., announced this week, and was confirmed by Archbishop Carroll. "Many parishes have not reported their final results," Miami's Archbishop said. "It is hoped that by the end of next week their work will be completed and at that time final returns will be given. Very likely at that time the total will be $2.9 million and prayerfully, so that we may adequately minister to those in need, the final amount will reach $3 million. We urge all those who have not made a pledge to the ABCD, to do so as soon as possible. "Hopefully, with this figure, we will be able to develop a home for the aged. An increasing number of elderly is moving to South Florida and among them are a high per- centage of Catholics. With this increasing number, it becomes necessary for the Archdiocese to meet their needs. Plans for such a facility for the aged and its location will be developed in ensuing weeks and it is our hope that work can begin soon." "Archbishop McCarthy, the priests and Religious of the diocese join with me at this time to express our sincere gratitude to all those who, through the ABCD, have come to the aid of those less fortunate than themselves." Plans are progressing for a new Archdiocesan Family Life Center, another ABCD project.

  • Ivory Coast Case Study Benjamin Yavo OFM Introduction All
    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.

    Book Reviews 541 Léon de Saint Moulin, S.J. Histoire des jésuites en Afrique: Du XVIe siècle à nos jours. Paris: Éditions jésuites, 2016. Pp. 137. Pb, €12. The presence of the Jesuits in Africa is as old as the Society of Jesus itself. Un- fortunately, their history on the continent is also the least studied. This volume is short, yet it is the first comprehensive history of the Jesuits in Africa. In its 137 pages, the author, himself a seasoned missionary, seeks to focus not on mission history as such, but on the birth of local churches. The book is divided in three parts corresponding to three periods of the history of the Jesuits in Africa. The Portuguese or Padroado era covers the early missions in the kingdom of Congo and Angola, Ethiopia, Cape Verde, the Zambesi, and Madagascar, from the foundation of the Society of Jesus in 1540 to its suppression in 1773. Beyond a clear chronological report of events, nothing substantial is said about this pe- riod. Then follows the colonial era, from the restoration of the Society in 1814 to the wave of African nations becoming independent in the 1960s. Characteristic of this period was the emergence of most of the present Jesuit provinces and sub-provinces in Africa. Here, de Saint Moulin provides a chronology of those foundations, their most important achievements, and the most significant mis- sionaries (including Africans) in Madagascar, the Zambesi, and Central, West- ern, and Eastern Africa. Missions were dependent upon colonial powers for their foundation and functioning. Yet, missionaries also took a stand against colonial abuses.

This was a period in which Africa and our Society experienced some of the most sweeping changes in our history. Reading and research for this period was carried out in London in 2011 and in Rome in February 2012. A dossier of background and working papers, amounting to some 40,000 words, was prepared. In addition, material was included about Missionaries of Africa who served as military chaplains, and who were demobilized between 1945 and 1954. In 1957 the Society included up to 600 former soldiers, of whom one in ten had served as officially designated military chaplains. This fact had much to do with the Society's preparedness for, and expectation of, change. In November 2012 François Richard and Jean-Claude Ceillier proposed that the dossier should form the basis of a volume in the History Series, focussing on the contribution of Léo Volker, superior general from 1957 to 1967.I am grateful to Jean-Claude Ceillier and the History Research team, and to François Richard, Juan-José Oses and Fritz Stenger in the General Archives, Library and Photo Collection at Via Aurélia, for ail their help.
