El pensamiento del papa Francisco acerca de las mujeres en la Iglesia. Un punto de partida y una meta por alcanzar

In the social and religious imaginary, women’s status has been devalued throughout history. Therefore, Christianity has not been immune to this, either. The Vatican Council II claims that “in Christ and in the Church, there is no inequality regarding lineage, birth, social status or sex” (LG 32). In this spirit, the Pope Francisco has expressed in a categorical way in favour of women, reporting the injustices coming from anthropological reductive visions. Being faithful to this thought, he has had concrete gestures appointing women to key posts in the Roman Curia. This is a starting point that we all women celebrate. However, all this continues to be a goal yet to be achieved. Changing the idea of woman as a “feminine nature”, incorporating the category gender as an intellectual instrument and trust in women’s ability in their diversity of gifts, generous service, honesty, fidelity to the Gospel and empowerment.

The New Calling

The New Calling

“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit.” (1Cor 12:4): images of the self and concepts of office of LGBTQ* pastors in Germany

ABSTRACTAfter providing background information on the legal status and admission of LGBTIAQ* pastors in Germany, the paper focusses on experiences of LGBTQ* Protestant pastors in the major German Protestant church (Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland) to explore how they include their sexual orientation and/or gender in their pastoral work. LGBTIAQ* pastors face the challenge of managing visibility and discretion, in relation to a heteronormative setting, as well as the specific expectations of LGBTIAQ* Christians. The presumption of shared experiences and knowledge by similarly marginalized people plays a part in their ministry. The paper argues that embracing those experiences and community knowledge as part of pastoral theology can strengthen their reflection on pastoral work.

Creating Spaces for Listening, Learning, and Sustaining the Inner Lives of Students

These are strong claims. What would it take to create spaces in the classroom which allow students the freedom to nourish and sustain an inner life? It takes vision–an understanding that teaching is an honor and a privilege, that to work with students presents a unique moment in their life’s journey–and ours. It takes depth and honesty that we rarely achieve in the classroom, and even more rarely in our everyday lives, where competition and one-upmanship reign prominently, where we compare, measure, rank, and evaluate rather than welcome the diversity of gifts we bring to the table. It takes faith that students are smart, engaged, and eager to learn. It takes a sense of wonder and curiosity to join students on a journey of discovery. It takes courage to face not knowing what we will encounter, courage to trust that students can–and will–honor their inner life, their inner teacher, the parts of themselves that are deep and meaningful to them. It takes meeting students with high expectations and enthusiasm, with an open heart and open mind to hear what they are saying–or are on the verge of saying– to attend “not to the stammer, but to the poem being born” (O’Reilley 21). It

Diversities of gifts, but the same spirit

Summary. This address reviews the great diversity of the discipline of statistics, seeking an essential unity among its various aspects. The role of statistical modelling in underpinning the subject is stressed.To safeguard the discipline in the future, it is seen as vital that bonds between different parts of the discipline are strengthened, to avoid fragmentation among its domains of application. Suggestions for improving the dissemination of new methodology are made, and the part that the Royal Statistical Society can play is discussed.

Have the Specialists Failed the Pastor?

T HE CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISE goes for-, ward by a diversity of gifts applied in a division of labor. The pastor, by the very nature of his appointment, has as his chief concern, the whole enterprise, and its whole Gospel. He feels the weight of an unpayable debt to the biblical scholars, religious educators, and countless other specialists, to each of whom in turn he is inferior in learning and training. He draws upon them all: upon the findings of the scholar for homiletic uses, the techniques of the pedagogue for teaching, and upon the many other disciplines for pastoral counselling, as he strives to mediate the whole Gospel to the separate person and the group. But the pastor likewise feels the obligation of the specialist to the whole of which he is part, and upon which each specialist in turn must acknowledge dependence. Since there are many specialists in the division of labor, and much diversity among the gifts of the experts, there would be presumption in a general appraisal, whether appreciative or adverse. Yet the pastor may properly show concern for the problem of specialization itself with its inherent dangers to the wholeness of a Christian view of which he is exponent. That problem has attracted considerable attention in recent writing. In the present scope we may no more than give it a bare statement, then proceed to ask whether the specialists in religious fields have offended in aggravating the general situation.

History the Teacher of Mankind

Long-established usage has given us the word History is unitary concept. For practical purposes we may say that history is story or tale including in sequence all events that have made man conscious. It is matter of relations of relations in succession, of relations in location or geography or space. It is matter of relations physical, individual, social, and unitary. History is abcut finan. It is the story of man in his changing relations. The history of history shows that man's changing relations are of three kindsrelations to nature, relations to society, and relations to some fundamental unity which philosophy very early called God. The quest of philosophy still in our own days is for an ultimate unitary concept. Historically and inductively, then, we may suggest that history is the story of man in his threefold group of relations to nature, to society, and to God. This is, of course, definition of general history. It appears, then, that usage in unconsciously giving us the word was correct, was in harmony with the facts. The world could not have gotten on simply with conceptions of histories. These certainly have place; separate, special, minute, local histories, are absolutely necessary; without these special studies history would become vague, ethereal, without content, worthless. But, on the other hand, histories without history would present spectacle of anarchy, in which they would rend each other, and in their aimless conflict render impossible great and good ideals that harmonious activity would realize. History and histories, then, stand in the relation of genus and species. History is hierarchy; or, borrowing biological metaphor, history is an organism; and, according to Kant, an organism is a product in which each and every part is reciprocally means and end; or, again} history is body having diversities of gifts, but the same spirit.
