Abstract

En 1921, rien d'exceptionnel ne semblait prédisposer Simon Kimbangu à jouer un rôle d'éveilleur des consciences des populations d'Afrique centrale, particulièrement celles de Kinshasa et Brazzaville, à devenir le prophète dont le renom a attiré des foules immenses, le prêcheur dont l'action a abouti à la création d'une Eglise moderne. Condamné à mort en 1921, gracié par le roi des Belges, déporté au Katanga, Kimbangu pourrit trente années en prison, jusqu'en 1951.

Abstract

The denominational plurality in continental Europe keeps growing. The churches of African origin are of increasing number. Seeking for a new identity in their new home, the concept of Diaspora and the question for legal issues get important for their identity. To what extent is their identity determined rather by seclusion or openness? Are the churches missionizing amongst Germans and are there ecumenical relations? What are the characteristics of such a new identity? How does it develop? By analyzing three different types of churches of African origin in the German context, especially by examining their sermons, the author demonstrates how those churches develop in a missionary direction and how they can become ecumenical partners.

Abstract

Il monachesimo di Gaza ha sempre attratto e affascinato. I contributi qui contenuti fanno emergere gli accenti di un monachesimo che insiste sull'ascesa sulla croce al seguito di Gesù, e sul taglio della propria volontà come adesione, sull'esempio di Cristo al volere di Dio: questo tramite la direzione di coscienza di un "Padre". I tratti di questo monachesimo, già insinuati dai legami col monachesimo egiziano, sono qui precisati dal confronto col monachesimo palestinese contemporaneo. Esso si irradia dalla Città Santa di Gerusalemme, con i luoghi memoriali della vita di Gesù e della Chiesa primitiva, al deserto di Gaza dove fioriscono i monasteri più attivamente impegnati nella vita ecclesiale. Le voci dei monaci di Gaza sono tra quelle che meglio hanno interpretato, al di là delle stesse cerchie monastiche a loro più affini e vicine, la quintessenza del messaggio di Gesù Cristo; hanno vissuto il cristianesimo in modo.

Abstract

Terrorism in East Africa has remained a concern of the United States since 1998, when al Qaeda bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. As part of its efforts to address this threat, State launched PREACT in 2009 as a program for long-term engagement and capacity building in East Africa. PREACT-which focuses on countering terrorist threats, including al Shabaab, an al Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia-is managed by State's Bureau of African Affairs and provides assistance in a region composed of 12 partner countries. This book examines PREACT, including the role it plays in U.S. counterterr
