Abstract:
Abstract Under the subtheme of “Christology in the Context of World Christianity,” this article explores recent developments in African women’s Christologies. The aim is twofold: first, to engage critically with the content of these current Christologies, and second, to consider one method for doing contextual theology, namely, the “pastoral circle” or “pastoral cycle.” Its four key dimensions of encounter/insertion, social analysis, theological reflection, and pastoral planning allow a flexible framework for probing the causative factors, the contextual nature, the theological methods, and the central motifs of African women’s Christologies, as well as their contributions to social transformation through the impact of individuals and institutions. The article concludes that interdisciplinary approaches like the pastoral circle, which advocate the integration of biblical, historical, theological and contextual perspectives, hold the greatest potential for constructive Christology today.

This article applies systems-centered theory (SCT)™ to the small process group experience in Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) by exploring six key questions: 1) What is the purpose of the small process group in CPE? 2) Is there an alternative to getting stuck in the “hot seat” dynamic? 3) Do we (clergy) always have to be nice? 4) Is there life beyond personal story telling? 5) Does the authority issue ever go away? 6) How much difference is too much difference? The article includes vignettes to illustrate theory.

Abstract:
The issue of influence of a circle of acquaintances on life and creative work of the provincial scientist from spiritual estate Mikhail Yakovlevich Diyev thanks to which, Kostroma historical thought became known to the scientifi c world of Russia, is considered in this article. The author for the first time has revealed the degree of influence of the environment of the scientist priest, represented by the botanist and naturalist from the nobility Aleksandr Boshnyak, Professor of Moscow University, ethnographer Ivan Snegiryov, poet Vasily Zhukovsky. The article deals with the key moments of Mikhail Diyev's life that contributed to his fame at the Emperor's court. The provincial priest became known to Emperor Nicholas I and his heir. Only the Imperial patronage stopped the wave of harassment of the rural scientist priest by the local diocesan authorities and provided him with the opportunity of fruitful scientific work and pastoral service.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Jane Regan
American society has been labeled a consumer culture. Consumer culture is not another term for materialism or a framework to explain one's relationship to money; it is an evolving ethos shaping our vision of ourselves, of our neighbor and the common good. The breadth and depth of commodification in the contemporary West informs the collective imagination in unprecedented ways. This dissertation brings together social science critique, educational tools and theological resources to create models for effective adult disciple building that are adequate for addressing challenges of a dominant culture's ideology and practices. Christian formation practices should heighten the Christian community's awareness of its role in dominant culture, both as inheritors of culture and as agents. This awareness requires transformation in many dimensions of one's being: a holistic discipleship. Jesus reminded his followers, "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." One of the driving questions of this dissertation is: how can the Christian community wrestle ultimate concerns back from the consumer culture to the heart of God for the world? To address that question the discourse of the dissertation is interdisciplinary while maintaining an ultimate vision for an approach to educating for mature Christian discipleship. The dissertation is structured to include social analysis, a vision of alternatives to the dominant lifestyle promulgated by the consumer culture, and effective pathways toward achieving that vision. The first half of the dissertation analyzes the relationship of contemporary consumer culture and Christian experience. The sociological and historical descriptions of this phenomenon lead toward the question, what are the implications for religious identity and meaning-making in light of the consumerist context? Theological resources include the gospel of Luke, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Gustavo Gutierrez for highlighting key dimensions of culturally responsive discipleship. There are also two brief cases presented of organizations who are attempting to live out promising approaches to Christian community in light of consumer culture patterns.The second half explores theories that can serve as a framework for Christian education practices. Transformative learning theory is introduced as a resource for cultivating awareness of underlying assumptions shaped by culture that are operative in adult decision making and worldview. Henriot and Holland's pastoral circle is described as a transformative learning tool. The dissertation moves toward a model of adapting the pastoral circle for educating congregations to think theologically about culture for the sake of personal transformation and social action

Full text
Abstract:
The dissertation underlines an approach towards mission, where the epistemology, hermeneutical key and methodology centre around relationship. This, by tracing trends in the pastoral context, verified through research and an analysis of congregational surveys. The results were then analysed in terms of biblical revelation (the creation narratives, God's covenental relationship with Israel, Christ as the New Israel, Christ's missiological methodology and an understanding of the Holy Trinity). The resulis were then also brought into conversation with recent developments in science, recognising the interdependence of all things, and also exploring recent definitions of mission. The study then grapples with a new way of engaging in theology. This new model simultaneously promotes the symbiotic nature of theologies, while placing them within the framework of relational objectives; using dialogue as medium, Holland and Henriot's Social Analysis and quantifiable relationship goals to engender a theological process accessible to people from all contexts and backgrounds.

Abstract:
The contention of this study is that missiological cell group praxis is an appropriate vehicle to mobilize the local church for world evangelization - centrifugally reaching from "Jerusalem" and "Judea and Samaria" to the "ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Methodologically it follows the pastoral circle of Holland & Henriot and investigates the missiological praxis of various small faith communities. The principles of the cosmological framework of Calvisnism (Kuyper, Dooyeweerd) are brought to bear on the missionary endeavours of the local church, with reference to the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. It argues for a missiologically integrated Cell Church, based on a definition of mission and evangelism, which is aimed at overcoming the fragmented missiological situation in mainline churches. This study argues that these small groups function as the basic cells of the local and universal Church, and shows how these communities come into existence and function as missiological outreach groups.

Abstract:
People of Africa have travelled a long way with discrimination oppression and abuse, more especially women married as second wives in a Polygamous marriage. They have been abused oppressed and discriminated in the church, in the family and in the community. This has happened for a very longtime due to a long time male dominance in the church and in the community. This has left the church crippled in the ministering of women more especially second wives married in a Polygamous marriages. The researcher aims to help our community to confess for the past sins and ask for forgiveness. The aim here is to help the church to see that culture and Christianity works together with the aim of having one culture as Mugambi states “It can be change” ( Mugambi J.N. 1997.14). by doing so it will be pleasing in God’s eyes and we will be blessed as Africans. The researcher focuses on how the Methodist Church of Sothern Africa can play a role in addressing issues faced by the second wives married in a Polygamous marriage so that they have dignity and human rights. How can the church deal with the trauma and pains caused by the church, the in Laws and the community more especially after the death of a husband, this will help the women’s married in a polygamous marriages to share their painful stories so that they can be helped, and accepted by the church and organizations in the church as full members. This research is a way of helping and educating the church to have compassion and love for the women’s married in a Polygamous marriage, and that will make the church to be christlike and that will be pleasing in God’s eyes and we will be blessed as Africans and as the people of God.

Abstract:
The promotion of confraternal charity was the final constituent of the Lazarist pastorate, and Chapter 9 focuses in particular on the significant personal opportunities that these vehicles of pastoral missionary care offered to de Paul. It outlines the early development of the confraternal structures, before explaining why, over time, they became the principal means through which he engaged with lay women. It then focuses on his relations with a small inner circle of consoeurs (members of the confraternity at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Paris), to affirm that their works of charity gave rise to an extremely unusual, privileged, and productive affinity that led them to make common cause with him in all spheres of the Lazarist enterprise.

Abstract:
After Virgil’s death, Propertius looked back on the Aeneid as a great achievement, just as, after Virgil’s shift away from pastoral, Propertius looked back on the Eclogues with respect and fondness rather than as a threat to his own species of elegy. These shifting attitudes show the complexity and evolution of relationships within the circle of Maecenas. Even Horace, who expressed such admiration for Virgil when he was alive, published a rather more candid view in his fourth book of Odes. The poets in the circle of Maecenas were both friends and rivals; under the cover of amicitia their poetry played out a discreet drama of aggression, critique, and one-upmanship in the quest for primacy and fame.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Prince Henry’s emergent court during the years 1603 to 1612. It traces the development of a court culture that drew upon the contingent spheres of London publishing and public theatre to express the interests and ambitions of the prince’s circle. Both the patronage of writers and the establishment of libraries are presented as priorities of the court in its formative years. Shakespeare’s tragicomedies, all written in this period, respond to the interests in exploration, colonization, British identity and heritage being strongly advanced at Henry’s court; though unlike Jonson, Shakespeare appears not to have written for Henry. After Henry’s death, Protestant pastoral, having, in the Jacobean age, briefly found a court with which it could sympathize, is seen to change into an opposition poetry.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how Homeboys LOC members engaged in LA Voice’s style of pastoral prophetic redemption. Homeboys LOC leaders drew from relationship-based community organizing principles, such as fostering racial and religious “diversity” and giving a “voice” to those on the margins, in ways that built relationships with elected officials and partnerships with nonprofit organizations and that advanced Homeboy Industries’ mission of providing services and employment to at-risk and formerly incarcerated people. Homeboys LOC members, in turn, drew from the discourse of recovery to construct the meaning of community organizing, such as by making good through testimonies—though leaders deprivatized such testimonies in ways that advanced Homeboy Industries’ public profile more than it publicly held elected officials accountable.

Full text
Abstract:
With Chapter 3, the discussion moves from Spenser to a wider circle of influence, starting with two somewhat reductive views from contemporaries of what Spenser “meant” in the literary system of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Two friends, Joseph Hall and William Bedell, wrote works that suggest an image of Spenser as an uncomplicated, straightforwardly decorous poet. Hall repeatedly alludes to well-known Spenserian images, which he imports into his own satires in Virgidemiarum Sixe Bookes in order to contrast them with his own disgusting imagery, suggesting an impatience with Spenser’s well-known delicacy and decorum. The less truculent Bedell implies a similarly uncomplicated view of Spenser in his poorly executed Spenserian poem, The Shepherds Tale of the Pouder-Plott, which takes as inspiration the Spenserian pastoral satire of The Shepheardes Calender and produces instead pastoral panegyric for King James I. In these two views of what “Spenser” meant to the writers of his time, we see the side of Spenser that Karl Marx later immortalized as “Elizabeth’s arse-kissing poet.”

This chapter looks in detail at Heaney’s considerable competence in Latin as shown in his translations of Virgil and Horace. It moves from some early Horatian versions through the versions of Virgilian pastoral in Electric Light (2001), exploring the full range of verbal engagement with a Latin text, through the Horace version of ‘Anything Can Happen’ in District and Circle (2006) to the posthumous version of the whole of Virgil’s Aeneid VI (2016). Where the evidence is available, it scrutinises the detailed choices made by Heaney in consecutive drafts, and assesses his considerable gifts in rendering formal and elevated Latin poetry readable for a modern audience in a form which is both dignified and natural.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of this chapter is on nonmaleficence. Part one begins by providing an overview of the principle and then reviews a classic case in bioethics on abortion to illustrate how the principle is often understood. The discussion also draws on poetry to intimate that moral issues beyond decision-making are relevant to abortion. Part two offers a discussion of Heije Faber’s pastoral image of the circus clown to set the stage for opening up another way of looking at nonmaleficence. The essential feature of Faber’s image for the purposes of this chapter is that it provides a theological rationale for appreciating humor in the hospital. In part three, the author correlates nonmaleficence and the circus clown by using an essay by Sigmund Freud on humor to interpret select passages from scenes from two pathographies. The chapter argues that a pastoral perspective on nonmaleficence can help to mitigate harm stemming from idolatry.

Abstract:
The Wessex kings’ conquest of the whole of England during the first half of the tenth century created conditions that led to a nation-state being recognizable by the end of the eleventh. In Scotland this was a much longer process, and Wales remained fragmented. The differences between them are mirrored by coinage; increasingly regulated and systematic in England, but not even produced in Scotland or Wales. The nation-state remained focused upon kings, however, elevating their status but exposing society to the haphazard behaviour and ambitions of an individual. They might still be seen as leading their ‘people’, English, Norman or whomsoever, but in reality they depended upon the support of a military elite and legitimization by the Church, rather than upon an efficient bureaucracy, let alone upon popular acceptance. Physical expression of royal supremacy was provided by increasingly elaborate inauguration rituals, and by crown-wearing ceremonies held on major feast-days at Gloucester, Winchester, and elsewhere, when the king represented his elevation by displaying himself with his emblems of power. A crown had been used as an image on coins by King Athelstan in the 930s, though his immediate successors stuck mainly to the traditional diadem. Ethelred (978–1016) added a staff, symbolizing a king’s pastoral duties to his people, and was occasionally shown wearing a round cap, usually taken to represent a helmet based on Roman coin images rather than on contemporary armour. The ‘hand of Providence’ on the reverse of some of his coins implied God’s blessing on an anointed king (cf. Col. pl. F.2). Cnut (1016–35) began his reign with a coin showing him crowned, as though to emphasize that his usurpation of power was legitimized by God through his coronation; the crown was a new type, an open circle surmounted by gold lilies. He followed it with a coin that has him wearing a tall, pointed helmet, this time a form that was in contemporary use. The lily-circlet crown had already been shown in a manuscript picture being worn by King Edgar in c.966, and a domed version was drawn being brought down from Heaven to crown Cnut in a painting that commemorates his donation of a gold cross to the New Minster at Winchester.

Abstract:
This chapter shows how, through a recurring discourse of ‘pastoralism’, Blackwood’s used the lingering traumas of the Highland Clearances as an opportunity to develop new literary conventions. Rather than seeing pastoral as merely concomitant with the Blackwood’s circle’s reactionary Toryism, we should recognize that Blackwood’s and its authors were operating in a more complex ‘post-pastoral’ register that challenged modernity’s exploitation of the natural world while conceding art’s reliance on modern, exploitative, destructive impulses. Such post-pastoral tensions were especially pronounced in Blackwood’s running commentary on agrarian reform, rural economics, and the Highland Clearances.
