Laity and Participation
Author: Thomas Hoebel
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783039105038
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Right across denominational boundaries lay theology is dominated by negatives: the laity simply defined as the non-ordained, the alleged exclusion of the laity from full participation, the sole focus on what they cannot or should not do, and, above all, the total absence of an ecumenical lay theology. In a unique approach, this volume sets out to find ways of overcoming these negatives so predominant in current lay theology. The author explores positions and perspectives put forward in Roman Catholic theology from Vatican II up to the present. These are compared and contrasted with concepts and suggestions of present-day Anglican Theology as well as with those of liberative theologies in Latin America and Asia. Rethinking the content, language, and metaphors of lay theology, in the final part of this volume the author proposes a new image for discussing the Church, a model focusing on the interdependence and collaboration of all the people in the Church. This is then used to sketch out the framework for a new type of lay theology. Imbedded in ecclesiology, in the concept of all believers together being the Church, the author endeavours to suggest a lay theology that is indeed positive, ecumenical and universal.

Book Description
North Americans live in a culture of oppression, enslaved by a false sense that self-centered idealism is morally good and necessary for achieving the common good. This book uses the story of Moses and the Exodus to underscore the relationship between liberation and conversion by presenting a spirituality of conversion for the privileged and developing a connection between the liberation of the oppressed and the conversion of the privileged in North America. The book offers analysis of how this spiritualtradition can evoke personal and sociopolitical change, challenge and enrich the dominant religious and cultural ethos of North America, enhance global relationships, and offer hope for solidarity.--

A People Set Apart
Author: Oliver Anosike
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 168456090X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 483
Book Description
When Chance, the flamboyant scion of a well-to-do family, makes it to the United States from his war-torn Biafra, it doesn’t occur to him that life isn’t going to be the same as it is in his homeland. But he learns fast. And by sheer will and personal grit, he is able to bulldoze his way in his new abode. Turning adversities into advantage he develops one of the most enduring relationships ever imagined. Turnkey, his nemesis turns friend, and over a short period of time, that metamorphosis yields an instant result. Chance schools him to change course and makes him to understand that he can buy himself out of the box seemingly reserved for him and his ilk that will place him in low level of society’s cadet in perpetuity. Having seen the light, they hit the ground running. Their friendship blossoms, and Chance becomes his greatest confidante. When Chance offers to take him and a group of his American friends to his homeland of Biafra, a country remembered in flashpoints of war and pillage and destruction, and man’s inhumanity to man, Turnkey is there to defend his friend and dispel all erroneous notions of a people he hasn’t met except one man. Biafra, plundered since time immemorial, and thought dead, has risen from the ashes of pillagery by dint, and indefatigable spirit of her irrepressible people to hoist her flag in the firmament for all to see. In Biafra, Africa is unbound. Turnkey, a fortuitous child, and even luckier than a cat with more than nine lives, doesn’t leave anything to chance. Like his father, he toils from a young age knowing where he’s coming from but also with an eye to where he’s heading to. Yet, it’s him that the mighty God has had his path cleared before him. And when fortune smiles on him owing to a huge bequeathal of his granduncle, it’s to Chance that he turns to, and it’s in his friend’s homeland that he chooses to invest his largesse because he wholeheartedly believes that they’re a people set apart in spite of the challenges right and about them.
