Legacy
Legacy: Wisdom of African Traditions and the Bible compares almost 300 proverbs from all over the continent with Bible verses, organized into forty-six broad themes. Chris Morehouse was compelled to write the book after exploring the Parallel Sayings books, which juxtapose insights from the great religious traditions with their counterparts from Jewish and Christian scriptures. These books explore resonances between Christianity and Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism. The author began to wonder why there was not a similar volume exploring corresponding insights from Africa’s traditions. In this book, you’ll discover: • African expressions of the golden rule; • versions of loving one’s enemies and welcoming the stranger; • insights about losing your way to find your way—and much more. The African idea of sankofa—“go back and get it”—tells us that we can go forward by looking to the past. Find common ground and get tools to face the future with the insights in this book of African and biblical wisdom.
Glaube in der digitalen Wende
"Digitalisierung" prägt alle Lebensbereiche: Arbeitswelt, Wissenschaft und Kultur, Freizeit und Kommunikation. Dies betrifft auch Religion und Lebensorientierung. Die Kirchen finden nicht erst seit der Pandemie in den digitalen Medien die Chance, den Menschen auf neue Weise nahe zu sein. Aber geht es nur um "neue Medien" oder brauchen wir ein neues Verständnis von Glaubensgemeinschaft? Was bedeuten Offenbarung, Seelsorge und Transzendenzerfahrung, wenn die meisten Menschen beständig Geräte mit sich führen, die ihnen per Klick neue Welten öffnen, in denen sie kommunizieren und sich begegnen? In verschiedenen Zugängen wird eine Bilanz der digitalen Formen kirchlicher Präsenz gezogen und nach Weichenstellungen für die künftige Entwicklung gefragt.
Schulpastoral für alle!
Angesichts der rapiden Veränderungen in Staat, Gesellschaft und Kirche in Polen seit den 1990er-Jahren zeigt sich im polnischen Schulsystem mehr und mehr die Notwendigkeit, schulpastorale Angebote einzuführen. Diese bedürfen eines theoretischen Rahmens und einer institutionellen Verankerung. Bewährte Konzepte und Praxen in Deutschland können hierfür wertvolle Anregungen liefern. Die Hauptaufgabe dieser Arbeit besteht darin, ein praktisches, situatives und zukunftsfähiges Konzept der Schulpastoral für Polen am Beispiel der Diözese Łomża zu entwerfen. Dabei geht es nicht darum, angesichts eines signifikanten Rückgangs kirchlicher Bindung Schulpastoral als eine "Christianisierung mit neuen Methoden an Schulen" zu betreiben, sondern diese als Beitrag der Kirche zur Humanisierung der Schule auszugestalten.
African Ideologies and Socio-political Issues
The year 2021 marks the beginning of a promising decade for Africa. In spite of the Covid-19 pandemic, the continent continues to be home to seven of the world's ten fastest-growing economies. Ours is a continent that has continued to give birth to beautiful and inspirational stories, in spite of difficult circumstances. It is on this basis that the Association for the Promotion of African Studies on 25th May, 2021 had her Annual International Conference on the theme: African Ideologies and Innovative Trends and Advances: Honouring the Past and Shaping the Future. The 2021 International Conference did not only highlight the triumphs of past years but focused on strategies for tackling forthc...
God In My Corner
Everyone needs a second chance, even if your name is George Foreman. "My second chance arrived unexpectedly in a Puerto Rican dressing room after a heavyweight boxing match. What happened to me in that room is so incredibly bizarre, it's unlikely you've ever before read anything like it. Simply stated, I died and went to the other side. The experience impacted me so profoundly that three decades later I can't go a single day without thinking about it." A childhood in grinding poverty. Two heavyweight boxing championships – twenty years apart. A life-changing encounter with God. A new life devoted to ministy.
