Résumé : |
Part One of this paper looks at local Church responses to the massacre in the Maumere district of central Flores, Indonesia, during the months of February to April 1966. Instigated by the Indonesian army, the slaughter of from 800 to 2,000 people was implemented by local Catholics against victims who were also Catholic. Responses of the local clergy, Archbishop and Dean are studied together with an account by one of the perpetrators, and the memoirs of three Dutch missioners written 40 years after the event. In Part Two these responses will be examined in the light of two analyses of the Indonesian Church, one using an `integration' frame, the other a Volkskirche model. When combined these studies allow us to begin to comprehend how the massacre could happen and why the clergy responded as they did. Honesty and transparency would allow us to move forward in mission with `bold humility'. |

Résumé : |
The current study seeks to examine the contribution of the apostle Paul to the search for the unity of all Christians. The study aims at addressing the following set of questions: what is Paul's vision for Christian unity? What is his precise contribution to the unity of the early Christian community? In which ways is Paul's vision of, and his contribution to Christian unity still relevant, and even necessary for the contemporary quest for the full visible unity of the church? The main thesis that lurks in the background of this study is that Paul's vision of Christian unity is deeply Christocentric and that even if the Pauline Churches experienced unity in their diversity, such unity was a dynamic process leading up to full communion.
The study proceeds in four moments: In the first place, the study explores Paul's view of Christian unity. Secondly, the study investigates the central aspects of Paul's ecumenical legacy in view of establishing his contribution towards the unity of Christians. Thirdly, the research investigates the significance of Paul's vision of Christian unity for contemporary search for full and visible unity. Finally, the study concludes with some remarks and challenging insights for those engaged in ecumenical dialogues. |

Did Calvin Foster or Hinder the Missions? |

Résumé : |
A tradition inherited from historians and theologians considers that, in Calvin's thought, no missionary perspective towards the New World was developed. In this article, the author first of all sets out to analyze the circumstances surrounding this established fact which prevented the reformer and his immediate successors from engaging the Church in this type of mission. Next he presents other theological, ecclesiological and anthropological reasons which may have hindered the missiological development of Calvin's thought. Lastly, the author shows that the missionary perspectives for Europe, opened up by Calvin, can provide arguments in favour of a worldwide missionary commitment which was actually realized only in the contemporary period. |

Raimon Panikkar, The Rhythm of Being : The Gifford Lectures. A Review Article |
Type de document : |

Résumé : |
The Rhythm of Being is a remarkable book by Prof. Raimon Panikkar. It contains the Gofford Lectures he gave in 1989. The original title of the Lectures was “The Survival of Being.” Panikkar aims at a wonderful blend of East. After having mentioned in brief the ultimate questions he tries to show in a historical way how the answers have been attempted at by various philosophies and theologies. There is an attempt made to speak about the dwelling of the divine; we find a complementing of immanence and transcendence over here. Theology, Panikkar says, is theopraxis finally leading to orthopraxis, which is faith. Then he ventures upon the difficult theme of trinity or triad. An attempt is made to blend Trinity and Advaita — these are not monopolies of any forms of thought. As a consequence of the triadic concept he moves on to his fond phrase and coinage “Cosmotheandric Dimension.” The title is worth noting: “The Theanthropocosmic Invariant.” The three dimensions of reality — cosmos, theos and anthropos — intertwine so beautifully that they are interdependent and almost inseparable. Then he also turns his attention to the important concepts of nothingness (sunyata, nada) and freedom which have to be understood in the inter-independence of being. The penultimate chapter deals with the Divine Dimension of reality, which has to be met in silence. The attitudes to be maintained before God are essentially praising, glorifying, and thanksgiving, and the result of these is ananda (bliss). The final chapter discusses on the “Emerging Mythos” and the author stresses the need for a holistic approach. It would be a blend of homo religiosus and homo scientificus. |
