This article aims to present the role of ethno-political conscientization played, in the period from 1968 to 1974, by the Liberation Theology among indigenous communities of Chiapas (Mexico), focusing on trying to understand the political-theological specificities assumed by the diocese in the city of San Cristobal de las Casas under the Bishop of Samuel Ruiz García - which began in 1960. To accomplish this task we tried to monitor aspects of the transformation of socio-theological thought of Samuel Ruiz and also the transformations through which the Catholic Church passed in the period - focusing on sectors with which Samuel Ruiz maintained closer relations - with the aim of understand how the intertwining of several factors resulted in the options chosen by the bishop of San Cristóbal.Este artigo parte do objetivo de apresentar o papel de conscientização étnico-política desempenhado, no período que vai de 1968 a 1974, pela Teologia da Libertação entre comunidades indígenas do estado de Chiapas (México), concentrando-se na tentativa de compreensão das especificidades político-teológicas assumidas pela diocese localizada na cidade de San Cristóbal de las Casas sob o bispado de Samuel Ruiz García – que se iniciou em 1960. Para realizar tal tarefa procurou-se acompanhar aspectos do processo de transformações do pensamento sócio-teológico de Samuel Ruiz e também das transformações pelas quais a Igreja católica passou no período – enfocando os setores com os quais Samuel Ruiz manteve relações mais estreitas – com intuito de compreender como o entrelaçamento entre diversos fatores resultou nas opções adotadas pelo bispo de San Cristóbal.

The Mission of Demythologizing: Rudolf Bultmann's Dialectical TheologyDavid W Congdon (2015-06-01)Rudolf Bultmann's controversial program of demythologizing has been the subject of constant debate since it was first announced in 1941. It is widely held that this program indicates Bultmann's departure from the dialectical theology he once shared with Karl Barth. In the 1950s, Barth thus referred to their relationship as that of a whale and an elephant: incapable of meaningful communication. This study proposes a contrary reading of demythologizing as the hermeneutical fulfillment of dialectical theology on the basis of a reinterpretation of Barth's theological project.

Homosexuality, the holy family and a failed mass wedding in Catholic Northern Uganda = L'homosexualité, la Sainte Famille et une cérémonie de mariage catholique échouée au nord de l'OugandaUniversity of Helsinki, Department of Political and Economic Studies; Alava, Henni Leena (Taylor & Francis, 2017)Christian churches have played crucial but diverse roles in public debates over homosexuality in Africa. In contrast to the vocal and explicit homophobia witnessed in many Pentecostal-Charismatic Churches (PCCs), homosexuality has until recently been an overwhelmingly silenced issue in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda, and an almost complete non-issue in the local Catholic Church. This article suggests that while this silence in part relates to the temporal proximity of the Northern Ugandan war, the absence of LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) activism in the region, and the hesitance of mainline churches to talk about sex, it is also embedded in what are considered to be customary Acholi understandings of sexuality. Offering an analysis of Acholi Catholic teaching on peace and the family, the article suggests that Catholicism has entrenched heteronormative patriarchy in Acholi society. However, as illustrated by the unpopularity of church weddings, the norms that govern sexuality are negotiated in the dynamic space between religion and what are contemporarily understood as ‘modern’ and ‘customary’ Acholi moral sensibilities. The article emphasizes the need for scholarship on religion and homosexuality to extend beyond PCCs and capital cities, and beyond the most explicit forms of public homophobia in Africa.
