Les pays africains entre violence, espoir et reconstruction. L'action des chrétiens et des Eglises by COURAU Thierry-Marie et DIARRA Pierre Pdf

Avec la globalisation, le continent africain est-il en voie de marginalisation ? La célébration des 50 ans d'indépendance a donné lieu en 2010 à une série de bilans et de promesses. Chercheurs, universitaires, expert et théologiens font ici le point sur les fonctionnements socio-économiques actuels du Continent. Ils rappellent la complexité des situations et les conséquences des mutations socioculturelles, en soulignant les mécanismes transversaux communs à de nombreux pays : la déstructuration sociale et l'urgence de la reconstruction. Dans le second temps de l'ouvrage, les actions des chrétiens et des Eglises sont étudiées en lien avec les travaux du deuxième Synode catholique pour l'Afrique, depuis les consultations préparatoires jusqu'aux Assises qui ont rassemblé, en octobre 2009, à Rome, 350 évêques, prêtres, laïcs et théologiens, sur le thème : l'Eglise en Afrique au service de la réconciliation, de la justice et de la paix. En situant ce service dans les préoccupations des chrétiens d'Afrique, les auteurs ont cerné les interrogations qui demeurent et avancent des propositions, notamment au coeur des relations islamo-chrétiennes. Bâtir une nouvelle Afrique, dans la justice et la paix, relève d'abord des Africains. Proposés lors du clloque international organisé à Paris les 3 et 4 décembre 2009 par l'Institut de science et de théologie des religions du Theologicum-Institut catholique de Paris et les OPM (OEuvres pontificales missionnaires), et enrichis par les interventions de plusieurs spécialistes de la CADE (Coordination pour l'Afrique de demain), les textes ont été revus pour la publication du présent ouvrage. Thierry-Marie Courau, dominicain, est le Doyen du Theologicum-Faculté de théologie et de sciences religieuses de l'Institut catholique de Paris. Docteur en théologie catholique (Strasbourg), ingénieur de l'Ecole nationale des Travaux publics de l'Etat et diplômé de l'Institut d'Administration des Entreprises, spécialiste du Bouddhisme et membre de la Commission pour les relatios interreligieuses de la Conférence des Evêques de France, il est engagé dan sla pratique et la théologie du dialogue. Pierre Diarra est rédacteur en chef de la revue Mission de l'Eglise des OPM (Paris) et enseignant à l'ISTR. Docteur en théologie (ICP) et docteur en histoire des religions et anthropologie religieuse (Paris IV- Sorbonne), il est membre de l'ATA (Association des théologiens africains), de l'AFOM (Association francophone oecuménique de missiologie) et du Centre de recherche APPLAeCo (Approches pragmatiques en philosophie du langage et communication à la Sorbonne Nouvelle.

Young People and the Diversity of (Non)Religious Identities in International Perspective by Elisabeth Arweck,Heather Shipley Pdf

This volume brings together current research on young people, (non)religion, and diversity, documenting the forms young people’s stances may take and the social or spatial contexts in which these may be formed. The social contexts studied include the family, school, and faith communities. The spatial contexts include (sub)urban and rural geographies and places of worship and pilgrimage.Youth and (non)religion are an area of academic interest that has been gaining increasing attention, especially as it pertains to youthful expressions of (non)religion and identities. As research on religion and young people spans and expands across academic disciplines and across geographic areas, comparative approaches and perspectives, such as presented in this volume, offer important spaces for reflecting about the experience of religiosity among young people and the ways they are learning about, and developing, (non)religious identities. Building bridges geographically and methodologically, this volume provides an international perspective on religion and nonreligion among young people, offering a diversity of religious and nonreligious perspectives.

Philosophy in a Time of Terror by Giovanna Borradori Pdf

The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.

Pilgrimage and Holy Space in Late Antique Egypt by David Frankfurter Pdf

This volume deals with the origins and rise of Christian pilgrimage cults in late antique Egypt. Part One covers the major theoretical issues in the study of Coptic pilgrimage, such as sacred landscape and shrines' catchment areas, while Part Two examines native Egyptian and Egyptian Jewish pilgrimage practices. Part Three investigates six major shrines, from Philae's diverse non-Christian devotees to the great pilgrim center of Abu Mina and a Thecla shrine on its route. Part Four looks at such diverse pilgrims' rites as oracles, chant, and stational liturgy, while Part Five brings in Athanasius's and an anonymous hagiographer's perspectives on pilgrimage in Egypt. The volume includes illustrations of the Abu Mina site, pilgrims' ampules from the Thecla shrine, as well as several maps.

Arrival Infrastructures by Bruno Meeus,Karel Arnaut,Bas van Heur Pdf

​This volume introduces a strategic interdisciplinary research agenda on arrival infrastructures. Arrival infrastructures are those parts of the urban fabric within which newcomers become entangled on arrival, and where their future local or translocal social mobilities are produced as much as negotiated. Challenging the dominance of national normativities, temporalities, and geographies of “arrival,” the authors scrutinize the position and potential of cities as transnationally embedded places of arrival. Critically interrogating conceptions of migrant arrival as oriented towards settlement and integration, the volume directs attention to much more diverse migration trajectories that shape our cities today. Each chapter examines how migrants, street-level bureaucrats, local residents, and civil society actors build—with the resources they have at hand—the infrastructures that accommodate, channel, and govern arrival.

No Future Without Forgiveness by Desmond Tutu Pdf

The establishment of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission was a pioneering international event. Never had any country sought to move forward from despotism to democracy both by exposing the atrocities committed in the past and achieving reconciliation with its former oppressors. At the center of this unprecedented attempt at healing a nation has been Archbishop Desmond Tutu, whom President Nelson Mandela named as Chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. With the final report of the Commission just published, Archbishop Tutu offers his reflections on the profound wisdom he has gained by helping usher South Africa through this painful experience. In No Future Without Forgiveness, Tutu argues that true reconciliation cannot be achieved by denying the past. But nor is it easy to reconcile when a nation "looks the beast in the eye." Rather than repeat platitudes about forgiveness, he presents a bold spirituality that recognizes the horrors people can inflict upon one another, and yet retains a sense of idealism about reconciliation. With a clarity of pitch born out of decades of experience, Tutu shows readers how to move forward with honesty and compassion to build a newer and more humane world.

Convention Européenne en Matière D'adoption Des Enfants (révisée) by Council of Europe Pdf

The aim of the Convention is to take account of social and legal developments while keeping to the European Convention on Human Rights and bearing in mind that the child's best interests must always take precedence over any other considerations. New provisions are introduced by the Convention. The father's consent is required in all cases, even when the child was born out of wedlock. The child's consent is necessary if the child has sufficient understanding to give it. The Convention extends to heterosexual unmarried couples who have entered into a registered partnership in States which recognise that institution. It also leaves States free to extend adoptions to homosexual couples and same sex-couples living together in a stable relationship. The new convention strikes a better balance between adopted children's right to know their identity and the right of the biological parents to remain anonymous. The minimum age of the adopter must be between 18 and 30, and the age difference between adopter and child should preferably be at least 16 years

Does Religion Make a Difference? by Andreas Heuser,Jens Koehrsen Pdf

Religions are increasingly being regarded as relevant partners in international development cooperation due to their special attributes. However, to date there has been little research into what the special attributes of religious development agencies actually are or how such organisations employ them. What resources do religious NGOs draw on in development cooperation? How do such NGOs differ from other development agencies? Does their engagement make a considerable difference to collaborative development work? Using empirical case studies and theoretical analysis, the contributions in this book address these questions. In doing so, they examine different religions and their collaborative development work in various regions of the world, and chart the most recent changes in religions. With contributions by Jeffrey Haynes, Katherine Marshall, Andreas Heuser, Jens Koehrsen, Dena Freeman, Richard Friedli, Wilhelm Gräb, Ulrich Dehn, Marie Juul Petersen, Claudia Hoffmann, Sinah Theres Kloß, Yonatan N.
