Resumo: O presente artigo analisa a presença e ação do Espírito Santo na formação das primeirascomunidades cristãs, com base nos escritos lucanos e paulinos. Esta ação é marcadamentepresente na Sagrada Escritura. No Antigo Testamento é a Lei que direciona os passos do povo.No Novo Testamento o Espírito Santo não substitui a Lei, mas desenvolve o que o próprio Cristodisse: “não vim abolir a Lei ou os Profetas, mas dar-lhes pleno cumprimento” (Mt 5,17). Nascomunidades lucanas, o Pentecostes é o dado originário da Igreja: todos ficaram repletos doEspírito Santo. Nos escritos paulinos é o Espírito Santo que faz da Igreja o templo do Deus vivoe a comunidade dos concidadãos dos santos e membros da família divina. Se para Israel a fé éuniversal e inclusiva, para os cristãos, a Igreja é o novo Israel. Assim dá-se a continuação da obrade Jesus Cristo. Portanto, o Espírito habita na Igreja e no coração dos fiéis. A acolhida pessoal doEspírito Santo é o marco do início da vida cristã para os convertidos. O Espírito de Deus é a fontede unidade e ação que move as neocomunidades à vivência do Evangelho. Este é percebidopelas comunidades como a Shekinah. No Pentecostes, sua dimensão é ilimitada, ultrapassa osparâmetros da fé judaica, e por isso, as comunidades dão início ao despertar de sua nova identidadee à reconstrução da história da Igreja e da missão cristã na perspectiva do plano salvífico deDeus na história. Portanto a comunidade entende-se como ekklêsia, convocação, congregaçãono Espírito Santo. Por conseguinte, é divina, é comunidade reunida no Espírito.Palavras-chave: Pneumatologia. Comunidade. Missão da Igreja.Abstract: This article analyzes the presence and action of the Holy Spirit in the formation of thefirst Christian communities, with base on lucanians and pauline writings. This action is markedlypresent in Holy Scripture. In the Old Testament the law directs the steps of the people. In contrastthe New Testament is the Holy Spirit that does not replace, but develops what Christ himself said:“I have not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to Them full compliance (Mt 5,17)”. Inlucanians communities, Pentecost, is the Church original data, everyone got filled with the HolySpirit. In the pauline writings is the Holy Spirit that makes the Church the Temple of the livingGod, and the community of the saints and members of divine family. Thus, if Israel takes faith asuniversal and inclusive, for Christians, the Church is the new Israel. So give up the continuationof the work of Jesus Christ. Thus, Spirit dwells in the Church and in the hearts of the faithful.The personal welcome of the Holy Spirit is the mark of the beginning of the Christian life to theconverted. The Spirit of God is the source of unity and action that moves the neo-communities tothe Gospel living. This is perceived by the communities as the Shekinah. In Pentecost its size isunlimited, it exceeds the parameters of the Jewish faith, and so communities initiate the awakeningof his new identity and the reconstruction of church history and Christian mission in the salvificplan of God’s perspective on history. So the community is understood as ekklesia, call, churchin the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it is divine, it is the community gathered in the Spirit.Keywords: Pneumatology. Community. Church’s mission.

O Espírito Santo engendra uma dinâmica comunional na Igreja, mediante os carismas, que instauram uma estrutura permanente carismático-ministerial-alterativa, que é comum às diversas comunidades neotestamentárias, não obstante modelos organizacionais diferentes. Isso permite superar a dicotomia clero/laicato, sem prejuízo para o ministério ordenado e, ao mesmo tempo, fundamentando o protagonismo dos leigos na missão e sua co-participação nas decisões da Igreja. Abstract: Through the Charismas, the Holy Spirit engenders a dynamic communion in the Church which establishes a permanent and articulate structure between charisma and ministries, which is usual to the diverse New Testament communities, though with dijferent organizaiional models. This fact overcomes the dichotomy clergy-laity, without damage to the ordained ministry, and at the same time laying the foundation for the lead of the lay people in the mission and its co-participation in the decisions of the church.

O artigo apresenta a ética de liberdade proposta pelo Concílio Vaticano II para a Igreja e o mundo. Parte da afirmação: “Todos serão teodidatas”, ou seja, no íntimo da consciência todos os seres humanos abertos ao transcendente estarão unidos direta e imediatamente a Deus. Considera vários paradigmas éticos formulados pelo Concílio. No paradigma pneumatológico ressalta a centralidade da ação do Espírito Santo. A docilidade à Palavra e ao Espírito Santo constitui atitude fundamental para se viver em autenticidade da consciência e obediência à Igreja. No paradigma eclesiológico reflete sobre a Igreja Povo de Deus como comunhão no Espírito e do Espírito; como sacramento do Amor, dedica-se à amplidão e profundidade do Amor, o que é decisivo para o aggiornamento proposto por João XXIII. No paradigma antropológico, mostra a conquista da compreensão de unidade entre dignidade singular da pessoa e a imagem divina da tradição bíblica; sobressai-se o valor da liberdade e o dom da fé, que fundamenta a ética dos valores; esta integra e leva à perfeição a aspiração à liberdade e às liberdades.Abstract. The article presents the ethic of freedom proposed by the Second Vatican Council for the Church and the world. Part of the statement: “all will be teodidatas”, in other words, in the depths of consciousness every human being open to the transcendent will be united directly and immediately to God. Consider various ethical paradigms formulated by the Council. In the pneumatological paradigm the emphasis is on the centrality of the Holy Spirit. The docility to the Word and to the Holy Spirit is a fundamental attitude to live in authenticity of conscience and obedience to the Church. In the Ecclesiological paradigm the reflection on the Church, people of God, as communion in the Spirit and of the Spirit; as sacrament of Love, is dedicated to the breadth and depth of love, what is decisive for the “aggiornamento” proposed by John XXIII. In the anthropological paradigm, the conquest is revealed of the understanding of unity between singular dignity of the person and the divine image of biblical tradition; excels the value of freedom and the gift of faith, which is the basis of the ethical values; this integrates and brings to perfection the aspiration to freedom and freedoms.

Diante das transformações socioculturais dos nossos dias e dos novos desafios a serem enfrentados pela Igreja, o texto aborda três temas fundamentais e urgentes. O primeiro trata do Espírito Santo enquanto atua na constituição da própria instituição eclesial. O segundo tema procura chamar a atenção para algumas características importantes da fé cristã vivida por nossos contemporâneos, os quais deveriam poder expressá-la na complexidade da vida atual, mediatizando, assim, para a Igreja, uma linguagem adequada para nossos dias. Finalmente, o texto aborda o importante tema do testemunho cristão, que deveria ser mais valorizado numa época inflacionada de palavras e discursos. Três verdades um tanto esquecidas e que podem ajudar-nos neste momento crítico.Abstract: In view of the sociocultural transformations of our times and of new challenges to be confronted by the Church, the text addresses three fundamental and urgent issues. The first deals with the Holy Spirit insofar as it deals with the constitution of the very ecclesial institution. The second seeks to draw attention to some important features of the Christian faith as experienced by our contemporaries who should be able to express that faith in the complexity of present life thus, transmitting, on behalf of the Church, a language that is suitable for our times. Finally, the paper addresses the important issue of the Christian testimony, which should be more valued in an era inflated with words and speeches. Three truths somewhat forgotten that can help us at this critical moment.Keywords: Present-day Society. Catholic Church. Holy Spirit. Faith. Adult Laity. Christian testimony.

It’s long time, churches debate on the application of the law to believers today. Some of the figures found grace is no longer relevant in the church. But some Christian leaders argue otherwise, saying that the law is still relevant and should be done. But, now a days many interpretations that are not right about Paul's theology on the application of the law in a period of grace. False interpretations of verses taken from Paul's letters caused God's people to be confused. Therefore, there is a need for proper interpretation through the process of exegesis of the Book of Romans 2-8, resulting in the existence of the correct interpretation of the law in a period of grace.From the background and the problems, this research focused to sharpen understanding of the problems related to the application of grace in the church today. Researchers used descriptive method to describe it. Then the authors conducted a study exegesis consisting of an observational analysis, textual analysis, structural analysis, grammatical analysis, lexical analysis, historical analysis or conceptual, analytical theological and exegetical analysis of Romans 2-8. The purpose of this study is the first, to understand the interrelationships of the law and grace; second, to understand the uniqueness of Paul's theology in describing the application of the law in a period of grace; Third, investigate exegesis mean passages from Paul's Letter to the Romans chapters 2-8 which discusses the relevance of the law and grace. The results of the discussion found several things: First, the assumption that Paul abolishes the law is not correct. Paul did not abolish the Law in a period of grace. Second, the law still relevant in the church today. Jesus fulfill the law for believers, so that believers can do the latter by the power of the Holy Spirit. And keep in mind that God has put His laws are no longer in tablets of stone dead, but in the mind of his people. Third, the law has a unique role and functions in the day of grace. The Law was God's will for believers because it still remains a self-revelation of God.Recommended for ministers, pastors, and teachers of theology seriously investigate the truth about the existence of the law in the church today, so that people are not confused by every falseteaching. Abstrak Indonesia  Sudah lama sekali, gereja berdebat tentang penerapan hukum kepada orang percaya hari ini. Beberapa tokoh menemukan kasih karunia tidak lagi relevan di gereja. Tetapi beberapa pemimpin Kristen berpendapat sebaliknya, dengan mengatakan bahwa hukum masih relevan dan harus dilakukan. Namun, sekarang ini banyak tafsir yang tidak benar tentang teologi Paulus tentang penerapan hukum dalam masa kasih karunia. Penafsiran yang salah dari ayat-ayat yang diambil dari surat-surat Paulus menyebabkan umat Tuhan menjadi bingung. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penafsiran yang tepat melalui proses penafsiran Kitab Roma 2-8, sehingga terjadi penafsiran hukum yang benar dalam masa rahmat.Dari latar belakang dan permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini difokuskan untuk mempertajam pemahaman tentang permasalahan terkait penerapan anugerah di gereja saat ini. Peneliti menggunakan metode deskriptif untuk mendeskripsikannya. Kemudian penulis melakukan studi tafsir yang terdiri dari analisis observasional, analisis tekstual, analisis struktural, analisis gramatikal, analisis leksikal, analisis historis atau konseptual, analisis teologis dan analisis eksegetik Roma 2-8. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah yang pertama, untuk memahami keterkaitan antara hukum dan rahmat; kedua, memahami keunikan teologi Paulus dalam menjelaskan penerapan hukum dalam masa kasih karunia; Ketiga, menyelidiki eksegesis yang berarti bagian-bagian dari Surat Paulus kepada Roma pasal 2-8 yang membahas relevansi hukum dan kasih karunia.Hasil diskusi menemukan beberapa hal: Pertama, anggapan bahwa Paulus menghapus hukum adalah tidak tepat. Paulus tidak menghapus Hukum dalam masa kasih karunia. Kedua, hukum masih relevan di gereja saat ini. Yesus menggenapi hukum untuk orang percaya, sehingga orang percaya dapat melakukan yang terakhir dengan kuasa Roh Kudus. Dan perlu diingat bahwa Tuhan telah meletakkan hukum-hukum-Nya tidak lagi di loh batu mati, tetapi di benak umat-Nya. Ketiga, hukum memiliki peran dan fungsi yang unik di hari kasih karunia. Hukum adalah kehendak Tuhan bagi orang percaya karena itu tetap merupakan wahyu Tuhan. Dianjurkan agar pendeta, pendeta, dan guru teologi menyelidiki dengan serius kebenaran tentang keberadaan hukum di gereja saat ini, agar masyarakat tidak dibingungkan oleh setiap kesalahan pengajaran.

Church growth is an important study in church history. The Bible has important principles in church growth, therefore these principles need to be analyzed so that they can contribute to the study of church growth. The Acts of the Apostles is a book that has a history and principles of church growth, therefore the author conducted research on church growth based on Acts 2: 1-47. The author uses a qualitative approach to literature study to find the principles of church growth based on Acts 2: 1-47. The results showed that there were three principles for the growth of the early church. The first principle based on the fourth verse is to depend on the Holy Spirit, the second principle based on verses 14-36, 42 is to preach the Word of God, the third principle based on verses 42-46 is to live in fellowship. For the growth of the church today the church must depend on the power of the Holy Spirit, teaching based on the word of God, and the church lives in fellowship.

Abstract This article presents the theology of the Orthodox theologian Nikolai Afanasiev, who calls the Church, the Church of the Holy Spirit. The Church, as Afanasiev expresses it, »lives and acts through the [Holy] Spirit,« so the Holy Spirit is its true inner principle. For Afanasiev, all the baptized are called to the Holy Priesthood. He recognizes the love and witness of Christ as paramount for the Church, before ecclesial power and its law. In this sense, Afanasiev's position differs from the prevailing understanding of the Church in the two common traditions of the West and the East, which often regard the Church as subject to the conditions and necessities of the law.

<p>Dentre as cultivares de aveia-preta, optou-se pela cultivar Embrapa 29 (Garoa) por ser uma espécie de boa produção de massa e adaptada às condições da região Sudeste. Mas, não há estudo do cultivo da aveia-preta para a região norte do Espírito Santo. Portanto, avaliar o crescimento e desenvolvimento da Avena strigosa cultivar Embrapa 29 (Garoa) nas condições edafoclimáticas do norte do ES, torna-se de suma importância para região, visto que essa propicia várias melhorias na qualidade do solo. A área onde foi instalado o experimento, pertence à Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Centro Universitário Norte do Espírito Santo-CEUNES, câmpus de São Mateus – ES. A semeadura foi realizada com uma máquina de plantio direto em sulcos espaçados de 0,30 m. Não realizou a correção da acidez do solo e nem aplicações de adubos minerais e orgânicos. Mesmo com o plantio tardio, a aveia-preta teve um bom desenvolvimento nas condições edafoclimáticas da região norte do ES. Este, possivelmente, foi beneficiado pela textura, visto que não há nenhum impedimento para o sistema radicular da planta. A aveia-preta desenvolve bem nas condições edafoclimáticas da região de São Mateus-ES, principalmente, sobre um Argiloso Amarelo de textura do tipo areia-franca.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Oat planting in the region of São Mateus in the State of Espirito Santo, Brazil</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>Among the cultivars of oat, it was decided to Embrapa 29 (Garoa) to be a good kind of mass production and adapted to the conditions in the Southeast. But there is no study of the cultivation of oat to the northern region of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, assessing the growth and development of <em>Avena strigosa</em> Embrapa 29 (Garoa) at conditions of northern ES, it is of paramount importance for the region, since this provides a number of improvements in soil quality. The area where the experiment was conducted, belongs to the Federal University of Espirito Santo, University Center North-CEUNES Holy Spirit campus of St. Matthew - ES. Sowing was carried out with a tillage machine in spaced grooves of 0.30 m. Did not make the correct soil acidity and, mineral and organic fertilizers applications. Even with the late planting, oat had a good development in the environmental conditions of the northern region ES. This possibly benefited from the texture, since there is no impediment to the root system of the plant. The black oats grow well in soil and climatic conditions of São Mateus-ES region, mainly on a Yellow Argillaceous type of texture sand-franca.</p>

Iniciando o nº 1333, o Catecismo da Igreja Católica afirma que o pão e o vinho se tornam o corpo e o sangue de Cristo “pelas palavras de Cristo e pela invocação do Espírito Santo”. Esta afirmação constitui um progresso teológico e uma volta à grande tradição, superando a tese vigente na Igreja latina da eficácia exclusiva das palavras da instituição, identificadas como “palavras da consagração”. Esse progresso foi possibilitado pela redescoberta da unidade literária e teológica da anáfora ou oração eucarística que não permite isolar as “palavras da consagração” do contexto oracional em que se inserem. A concepção presente no citado texto do Catecismo volta à tradição conservada durante todo o primeiro milênio do cristianismo, cujos resquícios se podem encontrar inclusive nos inícios da Escolástica. Documentos ecumênicos recentes mostram que a importância da ação do Espírito Santo na eucaristia é patrimônio comum das Igrejas cristãs.Abstract: At the beginning of number 1333, the Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ “by the words of Christ and the invocation of the Holy Spirit.” This statement is a theological progress and a return to the great tradition, surpassing the thesis prevailing in the Latin Church that affirms the exclusive efficiency of the words of the institution, identified as “words of consecration”. This progress was made possible by the rediscovery of the literary and theological unity of the anaphora or Eucharistic prayer which does not allow the extraction of the “words of consecration” from the clausal context into which they are inserted. The conception prevailing in the Catechism text quoted returns to the tradition maintained throughout the first millennium of Christianity, traces of which can be found even in the beginnings of Scholasticism. Recent ecumenical documents show that the importance of the action of the Holy Spirit in the Eucharist is the common heritage of the Christian Churches.

Allegorical Interpretation

The article states that, for the purpose of interpreting the Biblical topos of the Law and Grace, Hilarion refers to the genre of the word. Hilarion takes first place in the title, and then in the text of the work God brings out wisdom. By law, he believes the Old Testament, which has already fulfilled its task, and Grace - the New Testament, which outlines the existence of man, his relationship with God, gives hope for eternal life. The subject of the "Word" breaks the sermon into four fragments. In the first of them, we notice the allegorical meaning of reading the Scriptures in relation to the history of mankind. The second part is devoted to the interpretation of the image of Jesus Christ, which appears as a synthesis of God and human nature. The third fragment depicts events beyond the boundary of the Bible. It is devoted to the baptism of Rus. In the fourth fragment Prince Volodymyr is glorified. Following the best traditions of Byzantine oratory prose, the author of the Word simply pours his text into quotations from the Bible and adds to them a predominantly allegorical interpretation, emphasizing that the work is not intended for proclamation, but for reading, which enabled the author to interpret the Scriptures and in the literal, and in allegorical sense. The advantage of the New Testament over the Old Testament is embodied by the author in the images of the free wife of Abraham Sarah - Grace and his servant Hagar - Law. Laconic retelling of God-inspired text, Hilarion interprets the old-czarist images, as those that represent the new covenants at the level of allusions, presented them in the form of additional parallel antithesis. The same anti-colored color is also depicted by the images of their children. Isaac was born from a free woman, which means that he represents freedom, Ishmael is from a slave, hence his image symbolizes slavery. He who receives Grace receives goodness, love, becomes the son of God, and begins to live a new life in the Holy Spirit through which the believer is through. The overcoming of the Law and the perception of Grace means, according to Hilarion, the acquisition of spiritual freedom.
