The Science of Religion is a kind of science that needs constant research because there are many issues that revolve in their fields, from biblical aspects, through its relationship with the company until the day-to-day life of the religious, this wide dynamic range combined with the world today needs to be continuously studied. Among the possible subjects met the life of the pastor who after years of studies, provision of services to the community and society and financial remuneration for their activity is seen in 70 years exonerated. With the dismissal is mandatory as the life of the Presbyterian minister? This dissertation aims to analyze the place occupied by the Presbyterian minister in the church after his retirement, still analyzing the conflicts arising in the social and property after retirement. To do so, use the deductive approach starting from the literature of the subject in various scientific sources, as well as the orders of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil. The intention with this paper to present all the issues related to the topic and present a dignified solution to life after the retirement of the pastor and the same current form given the current increase in life expectancy and quality of life of human beings humans, thus respecting the personal rights of the elderly. This dissertation examines the factual situation of the Presbyterian minister's retirement age of 70. This fact is true throughout the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, but the consequences in social life and heritage of this fact is rarely discussed. The life of a Presbyterian pastor is ruled by his studies and applying them to the community in the teachings of the various possible ways. After years of complicity pastor knows that the age of 70 will be retired, but currently have 70 years is quite different than having 70 years 10, 20 or more years ago. The index of life expectancy increases every year in Brazil and in most countries of the world, moreover, the quality of life is getting better due to greater knowledge of society and the practice of healthy attitudes and medical studies. All these factors lead to questioning the need for retirement at 70, since many times the pastor at that age these days can be at the peak of his knowledge and teachings to the community. However, this is the reality, the jubilation today significantly alter the social aspects of life and property of the pastor. The pastor takes a while in active social life according to their duties and obligations, but if you see a sudden you have to redo their activities, their routine tasks and duties may have several results that will be analyzed in this research. Moreover, as the pastor of retirement when his life has affected the equity principle, unless the same together with the Church to develop a retirement plan. These aspects of extreme importance for the correct and dignified conduct of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, and other related is to be addressed in this work with the intuit to solve this major issue surrounding the current Presbyterian minister.
As Ciências da Religião são um tipo de ciência que precisa da pesquisa constante pois, muitos são os temas que orbitam nos seus domínios, desde aspectos bíblicos, passando por sua relação com a sociedade até o dia-a-dia da vida dos religiosos, esta vasta gama aliada dinâmica do mundo atual precisa ser continuamente estudada. Entre os temas possíveis encontrou-se a vida do pastor que após anos de estudos, prestação de serviços a comunidade e a sociedade e de remuneração financeira para sua atividade vê-se com 70 anos exonerado. Com a exoneração compulsória como fica a vida do pastor presbiteriano? A presente dissertação tem como objetivos a analise do lugar ocupado pelo pastor presbiteriano na igreja após a sua jubilação, analisando ainda os conflitos advindos nos aspectos sociais e patrimoniais após a jubilação. Para tanto, usará a metodologia dedutiva partindo da pesquisa bibliográfica do assunto nas mais diversas fontes cientificas, como por exemplo o senso da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil/2010 e os índices de desenvolvimento Humano(IDH), bem como nos ordenamentos da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil. Pretende-se com o presente trabalho apresentar todas as questões relacionadas com o tema e apresentar uma solução digna para a vida do pastor após a jubilação e da mesma forma atual tendo em vista os atuais aumento na expectativa de vida e da qualidade de vida dos seres humanos, respeitando assim os direitos de personalidade do idoso. Esta dissertação analisa a situação fática da jubilação do pastor presbiteriano ao completar 70 anos. Este fato é uma realidade em toda Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil, porém as conseqüências na vida social e patrimonial deste fato é pouco discutida. A vida do pastor presbiteriano é regrada por seus estudos e a aplicação dos mesmos nos ensinamentos para a comunidade das diversas maneiras possíveis. Após anos e anos de cumplicidade o pastor sabe que aos 70 anos será jubilado, porém atualmente ter 70 anos é bem diferente do que ter 70 anos há 10, 20 ou mais anos atrás. O índice de expectativa de vida aumenta a cada ano no Brasil e na maioria dos países do mundo, além disso, a qualidade de vida é cada vez melhor devido ao maior conhecimento da sociedade e a prática de atitudes saudáveis e estudos médicos. Todos esses fatores levam ao questionamento da necessidade de jubilação aos 70 anos, uma vez que muitas vezes o pastor nessa idade nos dias de hoje pode estar no auge de seus conhecimentos e ensinamentos para a comunidade. Todavia, esta é a realidade, a jubilação hoje altera significativamente os aspectos da vida social e patrimonial do pastor. O pastor enquanto na ativa leva uma vida social de acordo com suas tarefas e obrigações, mas se ver de uma hora para outra obrigado a refazer suas atividades, sua rotina, suas tarefas e obrigações podem ter diversos resultados que serão analisados por essa pesquisa. Além disso, da mesma forma, o pastor quando da jubilação terá sua vida patrimonial afetada a princípio, a não ser que o mesmo em conjunto com a Igreja desenvolvam um plano de aposentadoria. Estes aspectos de extrema importância para a condução digna e correta da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil, além de outros correlacionados é que serão abordados neste trabalho com o intuído de solucionar esta grande questão atual que envolve o pastor presbiteriano.

Abstract:

Pastoreando pastores: um estudo de caso da práxis pastoral na ASSIBAS. O presente trabalho aborda sobre os fundamentos teológicos para o pastoreio de pastores. Apresentando uma breve descrição do pastor na bíblia e descrevendo como o Antigo e o Novo Testamento descreve sobre a figura do pastor. O texto também considera o ministério pastoral, definindo termos como: pastor, pastorear, cuidado, mentorear, liderar, proteger e alimentar e os relaciona à prática do ministério pastoral do pastor, com a intenção de entender de maneira coerente e clara o desenvolvimento do ministério pastoral por parte do pastor. Este trabalho aborda o pensamento que os pastores, através da coleta de dados numa pesquisa de campo e de estudo de caso, têm com relação ao seu próprio cuidado. Os resultados foram obtidos através de um questionário preparado exclusivamente para colher posicionamentos, sentimentos e necessidades de pastores da ASSIBAS, com relação aos cuidados da sua pessoa. Realiza-se uma análise dos questionários respondidos, constatando a carência dos pastores em relação aos cuidados pastorais. Ou seja, é necessário que os pastores, que fazem parte da ASSIBAS, tenham consciência da importância de ter um pastor para ser pastoreado. A pesquisa reflete sobre a importância do motivo pelo qual o pastor deve se preocupar com o seu próprio cuidado, considerando a imagem que o pastor tem perante a sua comunidade, a necessidade de conscientizá-lo sobre o cuidado mútuo entre os pastores. O texto também ressalta a importância do cuidado que o pastor deve ter com o seu próprio corpo, observando a questão da alimentação, do sono, da vida mental e emocional e do cuidado com a sua espiritualidade. O pastoreio de pastores torna-se uma necessidade para os pastores que fazem parte das igrejas da ASSIBAS, pois temos pastores que priorizam a sua comunidade, ou seja, se envolvem integralmente nos cuidados das suas ovelhas enquanto descuidam o seu próprio cuidado. Os pastores precisam também ser pastoreados por um pastor humano que tenha mais experiência e possa ser conduzido por pastos verdejantes no seu ministério pastoral.

Se há realizado un analisis de los cuestionários respondidos, habiendose constatado la falta o la carência de los pastores relacionado a los cuidados pastorales. O sea, se hace necesario que los pastores que hacen parte de la ASSIBAS, necesitan ser conscientizados de la importancia de tener un pastor para ser pastoreado. La pesquisa reflite sobre la importancia del porque el pastor debe preocuparse de su próprio cuidado, considerando la imagen que la comunidad tiene acerca de su pastor, la necesidad de la concientización sobre el cuidado mutuo entre pastores. El texto también resalta la importancia del cuidado que el pastor debe tener con su propio cuerpo, observando la cuestión de su alimentación, del sueño, de la vida mental y emocional y del cuidado de su espiritualidad. El pastoreo de pastores se hace una necesidad para los pastores que hacen parte de las iglesias de la ASSIBAS, pues tenemos pastores que dan mucha importancia a su comunidad, o sea, se envuelven integralmente en el cuidado de sus ovejas mientras descuidan de su propio cuidado. Los pastores necesitan también ser pastoreados por un pastor humano que tenga mas experiencia y puedan ser conducidos por pastos delicados en su ministério pastoral.

Abstract:

Literature generally acknowledges that ministers have a demanding job with unique requirements and unclear boundaries between their personal and professional lives. Since 1980, studies have been describing an alarming spread of burnout in the ministry, with three out of four ministers reporting severe stress, causing anguish, worry, bewilderment, anger, depression, fear and alienation. South African literature indicates ministry as a high-risk occupation with regard to burnout. As providers of help, ministers are exposed to demanding work situations, with unique job and client-related stressors that show high correlation with burnout. Burnout, according to Levert (et al, 2000) is a syndrome consisting of three dimensions: these are Exhaustion, Cynicism and lack of Professional Efficacy. Exhaustion refers to the depletion and draining of emotional resources and feelings of being overextended. Cynicism reflects a negative, cynical and callous attitude towards recipients of service, andlor extreme detached responses to aspects pertaining to the job. A lack of professional efficacy refers to the tendency to evaluate aspects negatively with regard to personal accomplishments and competence at work. Burnout in the human service industry is a growing phenomenon. The objectives of this study were to determine the reliability and validity of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) in the context of ministry, The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and the Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced questionnaire (COPE), and to develop a measuring instrument to describe occupational stress of Pentecostal pastors in the North West Region of South Africa. A cross-sectional survey design was used. Availability samples (n = 100) were taken of qualified and ordained Pentecostal Pastors in the ministry. The Ministry Demands Survey was developed as measuring instrument, indicating internal demands/emotional input and relationship demands/demands with regard to calling, as reliable factors. Coping was described as being either Problem or Emotion-focused. Health of Pentecostal pastors was predicted by Internal Demands/Emotional Input, Exhaustion and Problem and Emotion-focused Coping. Recommendations for future research were made.

Abstract:

A total change of culture is happening in the world and the church should take cognizance of it because people's religious experience is not detached from their cultural context. In the light of the changing contemporary culture and new challenges for the ministry, the research question was posed: why is a wellness ministry by AFM pastors in an urban context necessary and what should it entail in the guiding of people towards wellness? The objective of the study is therefore to research a wellness ministry by AFM pastors in an urban context with the aim of proposing a model for such a ministry where people may be guided towards wellness. The study was done by using the practical-theological model of Zerfass as point of departure which comprises the following: - a meta theory where material from other disciplines are studied; - a basis theory where Scriptural perspectives on the topic had been researched; - empirical research by way of interviews with pastors; and - a practice theory where guidelines are proposed for a wellness ministry by AFM pastors in an urban context. In the meta theoretical part of the study it became clear that the circumstances with which people are confronted in the contemporary culture, a change of focus necessitates from a lifestyle of only combating disease to one of promoting wellness. Research has shown that quite a number of wellness models already exist which are being applied in practice. The basis theoretical part of the investigation showed that Scripture provides numerous guidelines with regard to a wellness ministry for the whole person in connection with the body, soul and spirit. The results which surfaced from the empirical study, confirmed the meta- and basis theoretical research. Consequently the practice theory has been formulated from the hermeneutical interaction of the different components of the research in the format of a proposed model. With reference to the research question, central theorical argument and the research reflected in chapters 2 through 5, the final conclusion states that a wellness ministry by AFM pastors in an urban context is necessary and should play an important part in the guiding of people towards wellness. A model where the strategy for such a ministry has been explained, is finally proposed.

Abstract:

In recent years the state of youth work, and more specifically the professional youth worker, has been on the forefront of discussion and concern in South Africa and has been the focus of the Presidency, the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), the Commonwealth, and select South African universities. Statistics (Stats SA 2011) discloses that more than 58.5% of the South African population are youth that is aged 1 through 35 (National Youth Policy of South Africa 2008:11) and is, therefore, an important area of interest. In a similar manner, there is increasing discussion and concern in the area of youth ministry in the church. In utilising a case study of the Baptist Union of Southern Africa (BUSA), it is reflected at the annual assembly of churches and its publications that indeed there is an ever increasing concern regarding its youth. The concern for the youth ministry centres on the efficacy of this area of ministry as we observe the exodus of youth from the local church. This particular study has its focus on the youth ministry and specifically the topic of the office of the career youth pastor in an attempt to address the concern of effective ministry to youth as well as addressing the concern of the professional youth worker. This research posits that there is no clear and intentional theological articulation for the office of the career youth pastor. Furthermore, the study will inquire how the office of the career youth pastor will address the problem regarding the professional youth worker as well as an effective ministry to and with youth in the church. This research, therefore, will endeavour to address the theological basis for the call and vocation of the career youth pastor, the cultural as well as the developmental needs of youth in supporting the notion for the career youth pastor, and the purpose of the career youth pastor, by reflecting on the practices and normative texts of the BUSA as a case study through the empirical research of qualitative interviewing.

Abstract:

Le processus de modernisation des services territoriaux de l'État, et tout particulièrement son volet managérial, s'inscrit dans une histoire déjà ancienne, même si la dynamique et les modalités du changement varient selon les départements ministériels. Dans ces histoires, la période 2003-2007, avec l'introduction d'une approche budgétaire différente (la LOLF), d'une recomposition des services départementaux de l'État (la RéaTE), et d'une rénovation des modalités de gestion des emplois et des compétences, constitue un tournant qui peut être compris comme la diffusion des principes du new public management. La thèse repose sur une analyse du travail des directeurs départementaux des ministères évoqués dans la réorganisation dans ce contexte de modernisation tout particulièrement autour du volet RH. Cette analyse est préparée par une présentation des histoires différenciées de la réforme dans les ministères de l'équipement, de l'agriculture et de l'inspection du travail, et une présentation de la perception de ces transformations par les agents. Ces deux aspects constituent en effet les contraintes essentielles de l'activité de conduite du changement. Ils permettent de montrer que la fonction " ressources humaines " joue un rôle central dans les transformations propres à chaque ministère. Étudier le travail de ces cadres, restituer leurs secrets de fabrique, c'est à la fois éclairer l'activité de cadres dirigeants dans une administration, qui se trouve mise à découvert par le changement durant cette période, et mettre en évidence les enjeux de ce moment de la réforme. L'analyse des marges de manœuvre qui leur permettent de conduire le changement, révèle aussi combien se concentrent sur eux les tensions générées par les contradictions d'une réforme tous azimuts. La manière dont ils expriment leur inquiétude pose la question des risques d'un affaiblissement trop important de ces acteurs, seuls en mesure de mettre en cohérence des missions, des hommes et leurs compétences, et une organisation du travail

Abstract:

The centrality of the church in African American communities makes it a culturally compelling sponsor for health promotion activities targeting health disparities among the medically underserved. Pastoral support is critical in determining whether a church initiates or supports a health promotion agenda, but there is little understanding of the variables that influence this decision. The aim of the qualitative study was to investigate the perceptions of African American pastors regarding the decision to incorporate health promotion programs in their churches. This study was guided by the health belief model using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected using both semi-structured and open-ended interviews. Ten pastors of North Carolina African American churches, with and without health promotion ministries, were recruited for the study. Eight pastors agreed to participate in the study. They were interviewed, and interviews were recorded and transcribed. The data were open coded and analyzed. NVivo 11 was used to manage the data. Five themes emerged from the study: the importance of health promotion, pastor support of a health promotion program, pastor influence on individuals in the congregation, the health status of church members, and barriers and facilitators. Positive social change may be realized by using this information to increase the effectiveness of culturally sensitive health information and developing health education programs that specifically target the African American faith community. Information from this research could help guide public health agencies on how to approach health programming in this specific area and for this population.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the challenges faced by the ministers of religion in Churches of Christ (Restoration Movement) in Bicol, Philippines. The goal is to do theology from below, not from above, as pastoral ministry must come from the experience of those who practice it, not from textbooks. The pastoral perspectives of the dilemmas that the ministers raise are heard, observed, documented, and then reflected upon. To do this, case studies of four preachers are used and the mga problema that they present are explored with them. As a result, first, I introduce some of those challenges which are perplexing on the ground level and which appear to be under-researched in serious theological circles, especially in an Asian context. Second, I hope that these case studies can be used to stimulate reflection in ministerial and spiritual formation. Third, I document some of the theology and methodology of the Churches of Christ, particularly as practiced in the Philippines. Chapter 1 explores the dichotomy between the perceived satisfaction in the pastoral ministry with the crisis of role and identity. In particular, issues such as forced exits and stress are presented while baptism and preaching are scrutinized. Chapter 2 centres on the conundrums experienced in planting a new church and being the lone planter. Chapter 3 examines three challenges–the task of ministering in a home congregation, the issue of accreditation in ministerial training, and how the minister can be a success and grow the church. Never far from the thoughts and actions of any of the Bicolano ministers is the problema of poverty, so Chapter 4 considers some of the Filipino, personal, and spiritual complexities of poverty, delineates a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration in any effort to overcome this malady and concludes with a particular reference to ministry.

Abstract:

The Researcher has coordinated and attended a Bibliotherapy Centered Growth Pilot Group with eight Korean minister’s wives a few years ago, hosted and mentored by Dr. Sunny Song. The experience with Korean ministers’ wives with the Pilot Group gave conviction of the possibility of small group dynamics for change and upgrade of transformation of women in leadership. This research discovered several factors why a Bibliotherapy Centered Growth Group could work well. All the members were continuously reminded and reshaped with new understanding about emotional aspects of inner being, relationship, and spirituality. The researcher believes that the Bibliotherapy Centered Growth Group can be an advanced ministry model besides other small group dynamics for pastors’ wives to healthier and deeper relationship with God and among church members.
