This dissertation investigates the historical and contextual events involved in the process of implantation of Fluminense Evangelical Church, that cul-minate in the establishment of the 28 Articles of the Short Exposition of the Christianity Fundamental Doctrines. It was hypothesized that this declaration of faith has been created under the influence of The Westminster Confes-sion of Faith, main symbol of faith of the Scottish Presbyterianism, of which Robert Reid Kalley was part. In this aspect, this study aims to identify theo-logical-doctrinaire similarities and displacements that permeate the 28 Arti-cles, through a comparative study with The Westminster Confession of Faith. As theoretical-methodological referential it was used the concept of history of religious mentalities, as a strategy for identification of common doctrines believed and practiced in the daily life of different societies and contexts. The first chapter presents historical and contextual elements of the institu-tionalization of the Fluminense Evangelical Church and the 28 Articles. The second chapter reports the origin and development of The Westminster Con-fession of Faith. The third chapter categorizes the 28 Articles in the six main areas of theology (Theology, Anthropology, Christology, Soteriology, Eccle-siology and Eschatology), suggesting a comparative study in relation to The Westminster Confession of Faith. The results reveal, in an original way, the existing doctrinaire similarities and displacements, achieving the disserta-tion objective.
A presente dissertação de mestrado analisa os acontecimentos históricos e contextuais envolvidos no processo de implantação da Igreja Evangélica Fluminense, que culminaram no estabelecimento dos 28 Artigos da Breve Exposição das Doutrinas Fundamentais do Cristianismo. Trabalhou-se com a hipótese desta declaração de fé ter recebido influência da Confissão de Fé de Westminster, principal símbolo de fé do presbiterianismo escocês, do qual Robert Reid Kalley fez parte. Nesse aspecto, o trabalho busca identifi-car as similaridades e os deslocamentos teológico-doutrinários que permei-am os 28 artigos, através de um estudo comparativo com a Confissão de Fé de Westminster. Como referencial teórico-metodológico utilizou-se o concei-to de história das mentalidades religiosas, como estratégia para identifica-ção das doutrinas comuns cridas e praticadas no cotidiano de sociedades e contextos distintos. O primeiro capítulo apresenta elementos históricos e contextuais na institucionalização da Igreja Evangélica Fluminense e dos 28 Artigos. O segundo capítulo relata a origem e o desenvolvimento da Con-fissão de Fé de Westminster. O terceiro capítulo categoriza os 28 Artigos nas seis principais áreas da teologia (Teologia, Antropologia, Cristologia, Soteri-ologia, Eclesiologia e Escatologia), propondo um estudo comparativo em relação à Confissão de Fé de Westminster. Como resultado apresenta, de forma original, as similaridades e os deslocamentos doutrinários existentes, atingindo o objetivo da pesquisa.

Full textThomas Chalmers, Presbyterian minister, (1780-1847), fought against pauperism and irreligion in urban Scotland during the Industrial Revolution. Because of the dreadful economic and social conditions, he revived the parochial ideal of John Knox in order to found a Godly Commonwealth. The sources of inspirations are the 16th and 17th century social Calvinist ideas which were expounded in the major documents of the European Reformations such as The First Book pf Discipline (1560), the Second Book of Discipline (1578) and the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647). This Calvinist organization was aimed at reforming society so as religion could penetrate all aspects of social, political and economical life. Chalmers took over the ideal to create a Godly Commonwealth in which he could transform members of society into a “New man” within a universal Church. He organized a new educational system within a traditional parish system. First, I will study the originality of his parochial instruction system in the Presbyterian tradition. Secondly, I will analyse the impact of his academic reforms in the definition of a pastoral theology. Finally, I will show how the success of his reforms depended upon the complex relationship between Church and State. In 1843, the foundation of the Free Church of Scotland challenged the alliance. However, it was an opportunity for Chalmers to carry on his mission of a Godly Commonwealth

Full textThis work is a study of the school chaplaincy developed in the Baptist Educational Corporation of Minas Gerais (SBME), institution formed by six schools, a college, a language institute and three social educational projects, all of them located in the state of Minas Gerais and maintained by the Educational Board of the Baptist Convention of Minas Gerais, institution to which the Baptist Churches of the state are affiliated. It presents the origin, the context, the development and the constitution of the Baptist Educational Corporation of Minas Gerais, as well as, its relationship with the Baptist denominational structure. It also describes the objectives, the importance, the functions and the legality of school chaplaincy along with the role, the educational formation and the ideal profile of a school chaplain. The school chaplaincy (or pastoral) is present in almost all denominational educational institutions, that is, those which are connected to a religion and adopt the faith and life principles of its religious tradition as guidance of their political and pedagogical actions. The goal of school chaplaincy is to minister to students, employees, teachers and families of an educational institution based on the faith principles of the institution, helping them in their emotional, spiritual and moral needs, helping them to overcome their difficulties and daily fights, so as to make the process of total development of the person flow smoothly. The SBME chaplaincy like all others has to face a lot of challenges related to faith confession principles, school internal and external environment, society problems and a series of other problems the contemporary young student has to face which are described in this paper. In order to face and respond to these many challenges and demands, the chaplaincy of the SBME uses a series of strategies and develops several actions. Among the strategies and possibilities of pastoral actions, the project Ethics and Character in the School is accentuated. The project has as its goal to help students, employees and teachers to build character qualities and ethic principles, along the educational process of the school and also to be used in life(AU0
Este trabalho estuda a capelania escolar desenvolvida no Sistema Batista Mineiro de Educação (STBM), organização formada por seis colégios, uma faculdade, um instituto de idiomas e três projetos socio-educacionais, localizados em Minas Gerais, mantida pela Jutna de Educação da Convenção Batista Mineira, instituição das igrejas batistas de Minas Gerais. Apresenta a origem, contexto, desenvolvimento e constituição do Sistema Batisa Mineiro de Educação, bem como sua relação com a estrutura da deominação batista. Descreve os objetivos, importância, funções e legalidade da capelania escolar e o papél, a formação e o perfil ideal de um capelão ou capelã escolar. A capelania (ou pastoral) escolar está presente em praticamente todas as instituições educacionais confessionais, isto é, naquelas que estão ligadas a uma religião e que adotam os princípios de fé e vida dessa tradição religiosa como norteadores de sua ação poliítico-pedagógica. O objetivo da capelania escolar é ministrar aos alunos, funcionários administrativos e docentes e familiares de uma instituição de ensino, em suas necessidades emocionais, espirituais e morais, ajudando-os a superarem suas dificuldades e lutas, a fim de que o processo de formação do ser integral aconteça. A Capelania do SBME, como todas as capelanias escolares, enfrenta muitos desafios oriundos do exercício da sua confessionalidade, do ambiente interno e externo da escola, da sociedade e de vários problemas que vivenciam o jovem estudante contemporâneo, relacionados ao longo do texto. Para responder a esses desafios e demandas a capelania do SBME usa uma série de estratégias e desenvolve várias ações. Entre as estratégias e possibilidades de ação pastoral apresentadas neste trabalho, destaca-se o Projeto Ética e Caráter na Escola , que objetiva ajudar aos corpos docentes, discente e adminsitrativo a construirem e adotarem valo res e princípios éticos cristãos, ao longo de todo o processo educativo na escola e para a vida(AU)

Full textThe impulse for this research comes from the present crisis of the penitential practice within the Roman Catholic communities of Germany, where notwithstanding all pastoral efforts the practice of sacramental confession has dropped to almost nothing. The procedure adopted is based on the method of R. Zerfass. 1" step: An investigation on the present practice has been done with a previous research: 2nd step: The present research, in the first chapter deals with the New Testament origins of penance and the historical development up to the present time. An essential result attained is the insight that conversion (Mk 1,14 f.) does not consist of a message of doom but urges the audience to pursue the salvation of the reign of God. As a consequence the believer experiences an ethic motivation whereby he takes as orientation the rules of the kingdom of God. 3rd step: The sociological situation of the target group is the topic of chapter two. The study is based on the work of G. Schulze. The central point made by his analysis is the affirmation that people in contemporary society are basically experience orientated and that all opportunities and offers are assessed according to their experiential value. Because of the confusing oversupply of experiences and the avoidance of disappointments caused by unfulfilled expectations homogeneous groups (milieus) emerge. People, in search of experience orient themselves according to these experiences and shape them in their turn. In the realm (market) of experiences which cannot be controlled supply and demand come together. The supplier who do not follow the laws of the market is ousted because of failing to supply what is demanded. 4th step: In chapter 3 a practical theological theory is developed that present penitential crises is routed in a crises of faith. For this reason an updated pastoral approach to conversion needs to take as its starting point the liberation message of Jesus and at the same time to take into consideration the rules that govern the market, the contemporary segmentation of the milieu included. The final step will consist in a pastoral concretisation
