Download or read book Building the Church as Family of God written by Joseph G Healey MM and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has gone through various editions or versions. The "First Version" was given as a paper on "Small Christian Communities in the AMECEA Region: An Evaluation of their Growth and Impact" at the 13th Interdisciplinary Theological Session on the theme "The Faculty of Theology of CUEA Celebrates the Golden Jubilee of AMECEA" at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) in Nairobi, Kenya on 3 March, 2011. Many papers were presented at this conference covering the 50 years of AMECEA under three headings: Part I: "Deeper Evangelization. Part II: "Formation and Education." Part III: "Church Life, Organization and Structures." I specifically treated the topic of "Small Christian Communities" under Part III. Many pastoral leaders including the AMECEA bishops recommended the importance of a thorough critical evaluation and assessment of SCCs to learn from the past and to help plan for the future. This includes strategic follow-up. In this book I describe the ministry of the 16 member AMECEA Small Christian Communities (SCCs) Training Team (five priests, one Religious Sister, eight laymen and two laywomen) and an additional informal SCCs Research Teams that helps on research, evaluation and assessment. I draw on my long experience in Africa. I came to serve in the AMECEA Office in Nairobi, Kenya in 1968 as the first Social Communications Secretary of AMECEA from 1968 to 1974. I have been involved, directly and indirectly in seven World Synod of Bishops. Over the years I have served at various AMECEA activities, meetings and events in official and unofficial capacities. Bishops Vincent McCauley referred to me as one of AMECEA Roving Ambassadors. This I have been privileged to serve the Catholic Church in Eastern Africa for 52 years of AMECEA's history (1968-2020). I am grateful that I still have a lot of the active institutional memory of AMECEA. If someone has done something for a long time, the extended meaning of a Swahili idiom says that the person has eaten a lot of salt. So I am happy to have eaten a lot of salt in serving AMECEA and the development of Small Christian Communities in Eastern Africa. A summary of my 15 African names (alphabetically) gives an interesting insight to my life and ministry during my 52 years in Africa (1968-2020) and especially how Africans see me.

Book excerpt: Building the Church as Family of God: Evaluation of Small Christian Communities in Eastern Africa. Revised Version August 2020, Volume I. This book has gone through various editions or versions. The "First Version" was given as a paper on "Small Christian Communities in the AMECEA Region: An Evaluation of their Growth and Impact" at the 13th Interdisciplinary Theological Session on the theme "The Faculty of Theology of CUEA Celebrates the Golden Jubilee of AMECEA" at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) in Nairobi, Kenya on 3 March, 2011.

Many pastoral leaders including the AMECEA bishops recommended the importance of a thorough critical evaluation and assessment of SCCs to learn from the past and to help plan for the future. This includes strategic follow-up.This book systematically evaluates SCCs in the Catholic Church in Eastern Africa only. There are many varieties of small groups, small communities and church small groups/small group churches in the Christian Churches in Eastern Africa that can be classified as follows: *Bible Study Groups, Café Churches, Fellowship Groups, Home Fellowship Groups, Small Fellowship Groups, House Cell Fellowships and House Churches in the Anglican (Episcopalian) Church.*Home Group Fellowships Small Groups that operate like Fraternal Communities in the Baptist Church.*Small Cell Groups in the Mormon Church and Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church.*Cell Churches, Cell Groups, Devotional Groups, Fellowship (called Ushirika in Swahili) Groups, Home Cells, Home Churches, House Churches (Eglise de maison in French), House Fellowships, Prayer Circles and Spiritual Growth Groups in the Evangelical and Pentecostal Churches.*District Groups and Fellowship Groups in the Presbyterian Church.*Cells in the Methodist Church.*Church Homes in the United Church of Christ.The cornerstone of most of these small groups or small prayer groups is the Bible. Most common is weekly Bible Study following an organized reading and study plan. At times there is Bible Sharing and Bible Reflection. Devotional small groups are increasing. Fellowship is very important especially in the African context including emphasis on community building, singing and socializing together.

Download or read book Building the Church As Family of God written by Joseph Healey and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small Christian Communities (SCCs) is an umbrella term used in this book and is the common expression for this new way of being church in Eastern Africa. Different terms are used in English on the continent of Africa. BCC means "Basic Christian Community" and BEC means "Base [Basic] Ecclesial Community" and is sometimes written "Ecclesial Base [Basic] Community." Even some writers in French prefer the term SCC because it indicates the "scale" of the communities. A variety of names are used in the USA. I have visited parishes and institutions in the USA where the specific name "Small Christian Communities" is not known or used, that is, it has very little "Name Recognition." Yet people would immediately recognize "small groups" or "small prayer groups" or "Small Church Communities" or "Small Faith Communities" or "Small Bible Study Groups." The challenge is to create successful "branding." For example, "jumuiya" (the short form of Small Christian Communities in Swahili) is immediately known in East Africa.
Book Synopsis The Church as the Family of God and the Care for Creation by : Khisi, Maximian
Download or read book The Church as the Family of God and the Care for Creation written by Khisi, Maximian and published by Mzuni Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of late there has grown in African Catholicism the concept of Church as the Family of God, Familia Dei, which has enhanced greater social cohesion among the members of the Church and strengthened interpersonal relationships among them. This book is an endeavour to offer a path towards the solution of the problem of environmental crisis through the theological discipline of ecclesiology. Using the Catholic Archdiocese of Lilongwe's understanding of Church as the Family of God, the book concludes that the application of the concept of Church as family of God, while bringing great social cohesion among the people, failed to extend to human relationships with the natural world, in fact It has broadened the human feeling of superiority over the natural environment. The book provides an ecclesiological complementarity which promotes a universal fraternity among people and the natural world ,and recommends an ecclesiological concept of Church as New Creation, Nova creatio. This would serve as a call for human beings to make a new ecological conversion, leading new lifestyles, change in their models of nature-worldviews, and change in the models of production and consumption.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Ecclesiology written by Paul Avis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Ecclesiology is a unique scholarly resource for the study of the Christian Church as we find it in the Bible, in history and today. As the scholarly study of how we understand the Christian Church's identity and mission, ecclesiology is at the centre of today's theological research, reflection, and debate. Ecclesiology is the theological driver of the ecumenical movement. The main focus of the intense ecumenical engagement and dialogue of the past half-century has been ecclesiological and this is the area where the most intractable differences remain to be tackled Ecclesiology investigates the Church's manifold self-understanding in relation to a number of areas: the origins, structures, authority, doctrine, ministry, sacraments, unity, diversity, and mission of the Church, including its relation to the state and to society and culture. The sources of ecclesiological reflection are the Bible (interpreted in the light of scholarly research), Church history and the wealth of the Christian theological tradition, together with the information and insights that emerge from other relevant academic disciplines. This Handbook considers the biblical resources, historical development, and contemporary initiatives in ecclesiology. It offers invaluable and comprehensive guide to understanding the Church.

Book excerpt: Instrumentum Laboris is the (working document) for the 3rd Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (to be held October 5-19) which focuses on “pastoral challenges to the family in the context of evangelization”.The Instrumentum Laboris consists of three parts. The first part focuses on the biblical and magisterial understanding of marriage, and features a heavy focus on the “natural law.” It also reflects on the role of the family today, the “fundamental cell of society, where we learn to live with others despite our differences and to belong to one another.”The second part concerns many pressing challenges to marriage and the family. These include cohabitation, remarried divorcees, teen motherhood, mixed-religion marriages, and same-sex unions.The final part deals with openness to life and parental responsibility. It explores how to transmit the faith to younger generations and how to form children in difficult or irregular family situations.This document will set the tone for October's anticipated Synod on the Family, and it deals with some of the most important issues today.
