A fé dos pobres possui uma lógica interna que é necessário aprofundar para identificar o que dita lógica pode oferecer aos processos de nova evangelização na Igreja e da missão continental proposta por Aparecida. No interior da confissão de fé, compreendida em seus níveis epistemológico e ético, caracteriza-se a fé dos pobres em suas dimensões de minoridade, resistência e maravilha e suas relações com a fé e a esperança. Uma nova dinâmica ministerial emerge como necessária para uma nova evangelização do continente que inclui o ministério dos teólogos e teólogas em relação adulta com os pastores e o magistério da Igreja.ABSTRACT: The faith of the poor has an internai logic that is necessary to deepen in order to identify the contribution that logic can offer to the processes of the new evangelization in the Church and of the continental mission proposed by Aparecida. Within the confession of faith understood in its epistemological and ethical leveis, the faith of the poor is characterized in its dimensions of minority, resistance and wonder and its relationship with faith and hope. A new ministerial dynamic emerges as necessary for a new evangelization of the continent which includes the Ministry of theologians (male and female) in an adult relation with the pastors and the Magisterium of the Church.

As Conclusões de Medellín continuam relevantes para os dias atuais, não só porque o mundo dos pobres mudou muito pouco nestes 50 anos, mas, sobretudo, porque suas intuições básicas e mudanças principais, em grande medida, continuam pendentes de uma implementação mais consequente. Entre elas estão: situar-se no reverso da história, a periferia como o centro da Igreja, de uma Igreja para os pobres a uma pobre, em tempo novo uma nova evangelização, a salvação como libertação integral, a injustiça institucionalizada como pecado social e a diakonía histórica como profetismo. Depois de uma década de franco dinamismo e criatividade, a partir da década de 1980 também a Igreja na América Latina entrou num gradativo processo de “involução eclesial”, só interrompido com a Conferência de Aparecida e a eleição do Papa Francisco. Os “ventos que sopram do Sul” estão reacendendo as intuições de Medellín, guardadas zelosamente, mas pendentes de tempo favorável e terreno propício para continuar seu processo, que agora chegou.Palavras-chave: Medellín. Evangelização. Libertação. Pobres. Profetismo.Abstract: The Medellín Conclusions remain relevant to the present day, not only because the world of the poor has changed very little in these 50 years, but because their basic intuitions and main changes remain pending of a more consequent implementation. Among them there are: be situate on the reverse side of history, the periphery as the center of the Church, from a Church for the poor to a poor Church, in a new time a new evangelization, salvation as integral liberation, institutionalized injustice as social sin and historical diakonia as prophetism. After a decade of frank dynamism and creativity, since the 1980s, the Church in Latin America has also entered a gradual process of “ecclesial involution”, interrupted only by the Aparecida Conference and the election of Pope Francisco. The “winds that blow from the South” are rekindling Medellin’s intuitions, guarded zealously, but pending favorable weather and propitious ground to continue its process, which has now arrived.Key words: Medellin, Evangelization, Liberation, Poor, Prophecy

Este texto descreve o despertar progressivo da Igreja no Brasil, sobretudo a Católica, em favor da ampliação ou expansão do conceito e das práticas inerentes aos Direitos Humanos. Da afirmação dos direitos individuais, ela passa progressivamente para a defesa dos direitos dos empobrecidos até concentrar-se em torno da noção de “construção da cidadania”. Hoje, acrescenta-se a necessidade de uma “perspectiva de gênero". Uma “nova evangelização" incorpora os Direitos Humanos como parte integrante ou mesmo exigência da missão evangelizadora da Igreja. Isto nos leva hoje a questionar a atual arquitetura da desigualdade reinante. Rumo ao novo milênio, o tema dos Direitos Humanos ressurge, sendo desdobrado em ‘direitos civis', ‘direitos sociais’ e ‘direitos econômicos'. Abstract: This text describes the Progressive awakening of the Church in Brazil, chiefly Catholic, in favor of amplifying or expanding concept and practices inherent in Human Rights. From the affirmation of individual rights, it progressively goes to the defense of the rights of the poor up to concentrationaround the notion ofthe “construction of citizenship". Today, one adds the necessity of a “gender perspective”. A “new evangelization" incorporates Human Rights as an integral part or even exigency of the evangelizing mission of the Church. Today this leads us to the questioning of the present structure of prevailing inequality. Corning up to the new millennium, the theme of Human Rights ressurges, giving out into ‘civil rights', 'social rights', and ‘economic rights’.

Abstract: Solidarity, a modern word and concept, has old roots in the concept of koinonia (fellowship) as it is understood in the New Testament. David G. Horrell even maintains that what we now call solidarity, functions as a meta norm in Paul’s ethics, since phenomena of solidarity are clearly present in the central elements of Paul’s community building. Reference is made to the two basic rituals, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which build unity in diversity; to the most frequently used form of address, adelphoi/brothers, which asks for familial treatment of one another; also to the special way in which Paul often tries to restore unity in the middle of conflicts; and especially to his metaphor of the Church as the one body of Christ with many different parts that need and support one another. When speaking about the collections as a sign of the Greek community’s solidarity with the poor community in Jerusalem, Paul refers to Christ’s solidarity as the source of solidarity within and among communities. Keywords: Solidarity, fellowship, David Horrell, Paul, Ethics, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, brothers, Body of Christ, Christ’s solidarity. Abstrak: Solidaritas, sebuah kata dan paham modern, memiliki akar yang lama, antara lain dalam paham koinonia (persekutuan), sebagaimana digunakan dalam Alkitab Perjanjian Baru. David G. Horrell mempertahankan bahwa apa yang sekarang kita sebut solidaritas, merupakan norma dasar (meta norm) dalam etika Paulus, sebab fenomen-fenomen solidaritas tampak dalam unsur-unsur sentral pembinaan jemaatnya, antara lain dalam kedua ritual paling dasar, baptisan dan perjamuan Tuhan, yang membina kesatuan dalam perbedaan. Solidaritas juga muncul dalam sebutan paling frekuen, saudara-saudara (adelphoi), yang menuntut suatu etos kekeluargaan. Solidaritas juga tampak dalam banyak seruan Paulus untuk memulihkan kesatuan apabila ia berhadapan dengan perpecahan, dan teristimewa dalam menggambarkan jemaat sebagai satu tubuh Kristus dengan banyak anggota yang berbeda dan saling membutuhkan serta memberi. Dalam konteks kolekte-kolekte sebagai tanda solidaritas antarjemaat, Paulus secara eksplisit menunjuk kepada solidaritas Kristus dengan kita sebagai dasar terdalam dari solidaritas antarumat. Kata-kata kunci: Solidaritas, persekutuan, David Horrell, Paulus, etika, baptisan, Perjamuan Tuhan, saudara-saudara, Tubuh Kristus, solidaritas Kristus.

This chapter investigates changes in mentalities after the Black Death, comparing practices never before analysed in this context—funerary and labour laws and processions to calm God’s anger. While processions were rare or conflictual as in Catania and Messina in 1348, these rituals during later plagues bound communities together in the face of disaster. The chapter then turns to another trend yet to be noticed by historians. Among the multitude of saints and blessed ones canonized from 1348 to the eighteenth century, the Church was deeply reluctant to honour, even name, any of the thousands who sacrificed their lives to succour plague victims, physically or spiritually, especially in 1348: the Church recognized no Black Death martyrs. By the sixteenth century, however, city-wide processions and other communal rituals bound communities together with charity for the poor, works of art, and charitable displays of thanksgiving to long-dead holy men and women.

In the past decade, significant social movements emerged in South Africa, in response to specific urban challenges of injustice or exclusion. This article will interrogate the meaning of such urban social movements for theological education and the church. Departing from a firm conviction that such movements are irruptions of the poor, in the way described by Gustavo Gutierrez and others, and that movements of liberation residing with, or in a commitment to, the poor, should be the locus of our theological reflection, this article suggests that there is much to be gained from the praxis of urban social movements, in disrupting, informing and shaping the praxis of both theological education and the church. I will give special consideration to Ndifuna Ukwazi and the Reclaim the City campaign in Cape Town, the Social Justice Coalition in Cape Town, and Abahlali baseMjondolo based in Durban, considering these as some of the most important and exciting examples of liberatory praxes in South Africa today. I argue that theological education and educators, and a church committed to the Jesus who came ‘to liberate the oppressed’, ignore these irruptions of the Spirit at our own peril.

The investigation of length-weight relationship and condition factor are very relevant indices to ascertain the health of fish in the water body. Length-weigh relationship and condition factor of Hyperopisus bebe (Lacepede, 1803) (Actinopterygii: Osteoglossiformes: Mormyridae) in River Galma, Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria, were assessed. The mean length and mean weigh in male and female were 26.703 cm +/- 0.51 cm and 25.32 cm +/- 0.898 cm; 158.2 g +/- 10.1 g and 95.91 g +/- 9.26 g, respectively. The exponent or growth pattern 'b' values for male and female were 2.009 and 2.176. The condition factor for male and female were 0.59 and 0.83, respectively. The negative allometric growth pattern and poor condition factor might be due to the poor water quality in the fish ecosystem and should be regarded with concern.

RESUMEN: El objetivo de esta investigación es suministrar argumentos para identificar la Teología latinoamericana con la Teología de la liberación, y viceversa. Entre estos argumentos se debe considerar la conciencia de alcanzar la “mayoría de edad” de la Iglesia en América Latina en el postconcilio; la convicción de los teólogos de la liberación de estar elaborando una “nueva manera” de hacer teo­logía; una toma de distancia del carácter ilustrado de la teología; y la posibilidad de reconocer en los acontecimientos regionales, particularmente en los pobres, un habla original de Dios. Este artículo pretende hacer una contribución al status quaestionis del método teológico.ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to provide arguments to identify Latin American Theology with Liberation Theology, and vice versa. Among these arguments, one should consider the awareness of the Church in Latin America reaching its “age of maturity” in the post-conciliar period. Other arguments are the conviction of liberation theologians to be elaborating a “new way” of doing theology; a distance from the illustrated characteristic of theology; and, the possibility of recognizing in regional events, particularly in the poor, God’s original speech. This article aims to contribute to the status quaestionis of the theological method.

There are two facts to be borne in mind in regard to Luther's whole attitude to social and economic questions. The first is that ordinarily this was a territory to be confined to experts, in which ministers should not meddle. He believed that a special knowledge was necessary to deal with some of these matters, and that they had better be left to those to whom Providence had assigned them, whether the jurists, those clever in worldly knowledge, or the authorities. The other fact is that the Church after all has social duties, and that Church and clergy must fight flagrant abuses and try to bring in the Kingdom of God on earth. The Church must use the Word of God against sin and sinners, and so by spiritual ministries help the needs of the time. The authorities on their part shall proceed by strict justice against evil doers. But there is another fact here which it is necessary to mention to get Luther's whole attitude, viz., that the State's function is not simply to administer justice, but to secure the general weal. They shall do the very best they can for their subjects, says Luther. “The authorities shall serve their subjects and use their office not petulantly [nicht zu Mutwillen] but for the advancement of the common good, and especially for the poor.” The princes shall give laws which shall limit as far as possible social misery and national dangers. They should listen to the proposals of the Church to this end, and on the ground of wise counsels of churchmen, do away with old laws and make new ones.
