Abstract:

This study with the title Luther and the Law in the Lutheran Church of Uganda investigates how the Law is understood and interpreted by Lutherans in the Church of Uganda. It studies the Lutheran understanding of the Law from the Reformer, Martin Luther, to the current Lutheran Church. The study also presents the findings from the Ugandan Lutherans. The research question is to find out whether the Lutheran Church of Uganda understands and interprets the Law in the same way as Luther and other Lutherans across the globe. The motivation for doing this research is the contextualisation of the Gospel, that is, to find out whether the social and cultural context of the Lutherans in Uganda affects their understanding and interpretation of the Law. Luther understands and interprets the Law according to his social context of the sixteenth century. His background is much different and so much removed from the African context the Lutherans in Uganda find themselves in today. Even in Luther we find some conflicts with Paul because of different social contexts. Therefore, can the Lutheran Church of Uganda have the same understanding of the Law as Luther? Are there aspects in the Law s interpretation that are peculiar to the social context of the people of Uganda? This study keeps in mind the social and cultural context of the people involved in the understanding and interpretation of the Law. This study investigates whether the Lutheran Church of Uganda has its own distinct understanding and interpretation of the Law given its distinct social location and cultural background. This is important because people understand a concept better when it is applied to an environment that is familiar to them. For example, when Paul preaches to the gentiles he strips his gospel of Jewish practices of circumcision and food laws. This, however, did not stand well with his fellow Jews (cf. Gl 2). Jews thought that only those within Jewish ethnicity should be counted among the people of God. This study is interested in finding out whether the cultural context of Lutherans in Uganda influences their understanding and interpretation of the Law. To achieve this goal, this study presents the Western Lutheran understanding of the Law (Chapter 2), the Law as it is understood by Lutherans in Uganda (Chapter 3), and then compares (Chapter 4) and contrasts (Chapter 5) the two understandings. Chapter 6 summarises the research and harmonises the discrepancies encountered in the study.

Abstract:

The public school system in America has slowly phased music education out of most students curriculum. Cutting these programs help schools manage their fiscal budget and also keep students in the classroom longer in hopes that the extra time will produce better test scores. In recent years studies have shown that cutting music programs might not be in the best interest of students, or schools working for better test scores. One such study published in Social Science Quarterly, suggests that “students who participate in music are positively associated with academic achievement, especially during the high school years.” If this study is true, and there is overwhelming evidence that music education helps with academic achievement in other disciplines, then why are our public schools still insisting on cutting music programs? Why are schools not offering alternatives to music education? I plan to investigate a solution to this problem by designing an after school program for families who see the value in musical education, and who want their student/s to actively participate in music. The location for this after school program will be at what is now Bethlehem Lutheran Church, in the FAN district of Richmond, Va. at the corner of Ryland Ave. and Grace St. Architecturally the shell of the space is Neo-Gothic. The interior of the sanctuary adheres to the same style while the attached 3 floor rear office space offers little interior architectural references to that style. The office space has the potential to be redesigned to suit the needs of the program while introducing an architectural relationship with the sanctuary. The potential architectural relationship will be defined by the exploration of the concept “individual” versus “group”. This concept will additionally explore the notion of individual parts acting alone or working in conjunction with one another to operate as a whole. These drivers will help guide the design as it relates to music.

Chang, Y. C. "An Easter Triduum for the Taiwan Lutheran Church." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2000. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.597445.

Full text

Abstract:

The Taiwan Lutheran Church doses not have an official Triduum liturgy. The same is true of its mother churches: the various western Lutheran churches. However, because of the recent tendency toward ecumenism, the modern western Lutheran churches have shown great interest in adapting the traditional Triduum liturgy into their liturgical services, but the Taiwan Lutheran Church has not shown such an interest. What this dissertation does is to propose a Triduum liturgy that could be used in the Taiwan Lutheran Church. To suggest a Triduum liturgy for the Taiwan Lutheran Church requires a historical survey of the Triduum liturgy from the first century until modern time, which includes the origin and the development of the traditional Triduum liturgy, the theology of Luther on traditional Triduum liturgy, the practice of the Triduum liturgy in the early Lutheran churches and the subsequent disappearance of the Triduum liturgy in the Lutheran churches, and the restoration of the traditional Triduum liturgy in the modern Lutheran churches of the west, especially in America. After the background discussion of the Triduum liturgy, this dissertation moves on to the discussion of the modern situation in Taiwan and in the Taiwan Lutheran Church which involves a consideration of inculturation: what elements of Christianity and of the liturgy are appropriate for and will be accepted in a Chinese cultural context? This dissertation concludes with some suggestions for a new Triduum liturgy for the Taiwan Lutheran Church, and these suggestions eventually can fit the multiple nature of the Taiwan Lutheran Church as a 'modern', 'Chinese', and 'Lutheran' church.

Abstract:

This study examined how incivility is expressed in an informal church organization and the impact relationships among those in the organization have on incivility. The researcher had staff members of the church complete journals. The researcher also observed the staff for one week and then conducted interviews based on the observations and journals. The researcher then coded data and grouped it into overarching themes. Themes that emerged about displays of incivility included: interrupting or not respecting another's ideas and yelling and gossiping behind each other's backs. The researcher examined these themes in terms of the relationships that exist among these coworkers. Results demonstrated that the staff did not frequently escalate incivility because they valued relationships and were aware of external causes of uncivil behavior. Reasons for not escalating incivility were then explored and connected to existing incivility research. Finally, suggestions for further study and practical applications are offered.

Abstract:

The topic of my study is: Becoming a missional church- the case of Evangelical Lutheran Church in South Africa (ELCSA). The lack of missional astuteness and intelligence emanating from Christendom mind-sets and agendas is detrimental to the growth of the church and is creating missional chaos and paralysis; this is what I am struggling with in my study. The challenge I am grappling with is that the ELCSA as a church has been exposed to a variety and multiplicity of missional cultures and mission settings through a diversity of missionaries operating from different missional landscape and backgrounds. The various and differing missional histories has created inconsistencies in the theological foundations that underpin and add force to her missional outlook and maturity. As the church considers becoming a missional church, there is an imperative need to radically revisit her traditional ecclesiologies in order to develop a clearer understanding of her missional vocation. The missional direction of the church is in quandary, partly because of the leadership failure to manage the contradictory and inconsistent missional attempts and missional immaturity within the ELCSA. Leadership development and formation within the Lutheran training institutes in Southern Africa, which are crucial in church life seems inadequate from a curriculum perspective. Failure to understand and appreciate the current missional language will inadvertently confuse the church’s understanding of God’s mission in the world (missio Dei). The challenge facing the ELCSA will therefore be an imperative and absolute need to move from a church with mission to a missional church. The study seeks to further explore and investigate insights from the ELCSA’s mission history with a view of determining the missional health and checking whether the church has a comprehension and understanding of the concept and language of a missional church and missional leadership. In this study I will also attempt to answer two possible sub-problems of the study viz. How does the ELCSA create a missional leadership aptitude environment and how does the ELCSA implement the missional conversation(s) to the operating landscape of the church? This study will also contrast the attractional and incarnational mindsets I reflect in the conclusion the significance and importance of a missional church and highlight the characteristics or indicators of such a church by applying it to the ELCSA. Recommendations are indicated for consideration by the ELCSA and are not presented as an answer or solution to the challenge that the church is facing.

Abstract:

This dissertation traces the social-theological history of a German-Lutheran two-kingdoms concept---an often ambiguous social-ethical theory used by German-Lutheran theologians to interpret their social world and to define the relational boundaries for the church's existence in society. This study consists of three parts, each of which represents a fundamental rupture in the German social order:
Part one examines the formation of a two-kingdoms doctrine in the modern world. The opening chapter (chapter two) establishes Martin's Luther's use of a two-kingdoms hermeneutic as way to challenge late-medieval Catholic Church authority and to empower ("sacralize") the social sphere. Chapter three surveys the work of German-Lutheran theologians who found in Luther's two-kingdoms concept a model that corresponded to the modern public-private social structure. The intersection of Luther's concept and modern social theory enabled theologians to understand the social, economic, and political changes taking place in Germany and, wittingly or unwittingly, to validate the status quo.
Part two analyzes various applications and critiques of the two-kingdoms doctrine in Germany from 1919 to 1945. Chapter four focuses on the efforts of Emanuel Hirsch, Paul Althaus, Paul Tillich, and Karl Barth to construct a theology that addressed the crises of modernity: the loss of national identity, the failure of post-Enlightemnent rationalism, and the collapse of traditional political structures. Chapter five examines the work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who developed a critical two-kingdoms perspective to (re)define the ethical relationship between the "church for others" and the "world come of age."
Part three considers the reception of the two-kingdoms doctrine in the East German church (1949--1990). The objective of chapter six is to illustrate the various ways in which theologians in the German Democratic Republic nuanced a two-kingdoms concept to make sense of the church's missionary task in socialism. This chapter also demonstrates the links between Bonhoeffer's ethic of responsibility and an East German theological ethic of critical solidarity---a social-ethical theory articulated by pastors and theologians such as Bishop Albrecht Schonherr and Heino Falcke.
This study concludes with a brief discussion of the two-kingdoms doctrine's capacity to protect and to resist the status quo.
