The background of the study is the 1994 African Synod that suggests the ecclesiology of the mission of the ‘Church as family.’ The study helps the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo to evaluate the implementation of the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family’ and draw implications for nuclear, single parent, child-headed, reconstituted and extended families within the church. The study explores Shorter’s culture model to examine how cultural practices, symbols, values and belief systems can be used as an analytic framework for the human dimension of the church. A qualitative research methodology that involves 36 participants in semi-structured interviews, three focus group discussions in urban, semi-urban and rural parishes and participant observation was used to collect data from parishioners, priests and religious of the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo. The study reveals that each family type contributes to Evangelisation as proclamation of the Good News and inculturation differently thereby enriching the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family.’ Furthermore, the study shows that guilds, associations and commissions help to strengthen families through spiritual, psychological, social and economic support. Findings also indicate that the Trinity is the theological foundation of the family and it finds acceptance in African communal setup. Family types in Masvingo Diocese are analysed using the notion of the Trinity to show that dignity, equality and respect among family types can be used to strengthen the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family.’ At pastoral level, economic, social and cultural obstacles to family ministry stand as a challenge to the full implementation and realisation of the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family’. In the light of the research, recommendations for mission strategies were suggested at different levels that involve Diocesan administration, priests, religious, catechists and parish leaders. Recommendations for further researches were also suggested for areas that seem to be important yet outside the scope of this study. The theological, pastoral, and cultural issues raised in this study combine to help the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo to become an authentic expression of the mission of the ‘Church as family’ of God.

  • Inculturation and Catholicity in Relation to the Worldwide Church
    INCULTURATION AND CATHOLICITY IN RELATION TO THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH Look up at the sky and count the stars. —Gen. 15:5 Let us begin where our issue arose first. Let us start with a story, or better with an image. The image of a couple standing at the beginning of the process that led us to the possibility and the need to organize a conference on inculturation and catholicity I would like to begin with the father of all believers, Abraham. Abraham could not have been alone in his experience. A man cannot be a father on his own. Abra- ham would have been nowhere without Sarah. The promise given to him was not given to him, but to him and her. It was a promise of life. A man alone does not manage that. In fact the author of the letter to the Hebrews (11:11) enables Sarah, too, to become the progenitor of the child, in a text which according to some ex- egetes is "a cross which is frankly too heavy for expositors to bear."1 And in the Genesis text we read, "Yahweh dealt kindly with Sarah, as Yahweh had said, and did what Yahweh had promised her."2 In the end you begin to wonder who really was the father of Isaac. Sarah and Abram are not only the parents of all believers. They are the ances- tors of all unbelievers.3 God told them to leave their country, their kindred, their culture, their all, in view of a new life. An initiative by which all human clans would be blessed.

  • Day of Discernment
    Summary Report from a Day of Discernment The Lutheran Center 8765 W. Higgins Road, Chicago, IL 60631 July 26, 2018 Introduction, Background and Context Introduction, Background and Context Introduction. Forty-five volunteer participants gathered for a one-day program at The Lutheran Center focused on ELCA efforts to deepen awareness and engagement concerning on-going war-time activities by our nation. The framework for this discernment emphasized the ELCA social statement, For Peace in God’s World. The aim of this day was to collect insights, ideas and concerns from the presentations, responses and table conversations. Notes assembled with the help of scribes assigned to groups are presented below and intended to be useful in curriculum writing for congregational use going forward. The day involved background statements followed by three topical presentations (25-30 minutes). Each presentation was followed by a brief response (7-10 minutes) and table talk among six, small groups. The final session was structured for table talk so participants can summarize key points from the day. Background and Context. The background and context for this summary report takes seriously that the United States of America has been at war and involved in overt and frank military activities for the longest period of time in the nation’s history. The US Air Force has flown military missions continuously over and around Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War (sometimes called the First Gulf War). The cessation of conflict at the end of the First Gulf War instituted a no-fly zone to prohibit Iraqi military control of the air space above and beyond their borders.

Rome 2013 Stampa Istituto Salesiano Pio XI - Via Umbertide, 11 - 00181 Roma Tel. : 06.78.27.819 - Fax : 06.78.48.333 - E-Mail [email protected] Finito di stampare : aprile 2013 Foreword The meeting of the History Research team held in Rome from 5th to 7th May 2011 suggested that I should prepare material for the study and teaching of the period 1947-1967. 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.

    God’s Word for the World For man does not live by bread alone Catholic Biblical Federation Man does not live by bread alone Vision The Bible numbers among the greatest writings of humanity. When its readers discover ever anew the multiple facets of their own lives in the stories of the biblical books, Scripture unfolds its transforming potential, and its message of life and of hope becomes tangible. The Catholic Biblical Federation was established by Pope Paul VI in 1969 to foster and promote an awareness of the unique significance of Sacred Scripture at all levels of ecclesial life. With its roots tracing back to the Second Vatican Council it sees itself as the advocate of the Bible in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Biblical Federation represents the world- wide multiplicity of the Catholic faith. Its more than 340 member institutions in 126 countries of the world are committed to insuring that people can experience the life-giving message of the Bible in their daily lives. Rooted in the Catholic Church and in close coopera- tion with the Pope and bishops, the Catholic Biblical Federation avows itself to ecumenical and intercon- fessional dialogue. It promotes tolerance and respect for other cultures and religions and is actively engaged on behalf of peace and justice. Through its commitment to the Gospel, the Catholic Biblical Federation plays an active role in building a world in which the values of love of God and neighbor, of justice and responsibility are the core of political, social and personal activity. 2 A Fruit of the Council History “Easy access to Sacred Scripture should be provided for all the Christian faithful” (Constitution Dei Verbum, paragraph 22).

In the early 1960s, the independence process in Africa posed new challenges to Italian foreign policy and also favored non-institutional actors who provided renewed momentum to the Vatican and a growing presence throughout the continent. Both traditional missions and the Catholic laity showed their commitment, and they worked together or individually, with different or shared inspirations and objectives. As the seat of the papacy, Italy as a “Catholic nation” has its own specificity and a noticeable presence of Catholicism throughout society.

  • MAJOR LAZER “We're Not Making the World Smaller,”
    MAJOR LAZER “We’re not making the world smaller,” says Walshy Fire, one-third of the global hitmaking behemoth that is Major Lazer. “We’re making the party bigger.” For Major Lazer, which also includes Diplo and Jillionaire, that is a noble mission, and the trio bring a sophisticated fusion of Caribbean and American music—Trinidadian soca, Jamaican reggae, American hip-hop and dance music—to dance floors across the world. Over the last ten years the group has expanded from a notoriously raucous side project into the biggest musical act in the world, crafting multiplatinum hits like “Cold Water” (featuring Justin Bieber and Danish singer-songwriter MØ) and “Run Up” (with Nicki Minaj and PARTYNEXTDOOR). With a combustible vocal turn by MØ and sharp beats by French producer DJ Snake, their ferocious 2015 single “Lean On” broke records for independent songs on pop radio to become one of the most popular songs of the 2010s: an era- defining smash around the world. That mind-boggling success has not distracted the trio from their goal of making innovative music for the entire planet. “We create this Carnival atmosphere for people, like a Caribbean party where you’re dancing in the streets,” says Diplo. “That’s the vibe we’re trying to create, the language we’re trying to write. It doesn’t sound like anything else, because no one has done this kind of fusion before. Because of that, we don’t have a roadmap. We don’t always know if we’re doing it right, but we’re going to keep doing it.” By all accounts, the musicians who make up Major Lazer are doing it exactly right.
