PERSONHOOD AND SELF IN CATHOLIC FORMATION IN ZAMBIA

AbstractThe article describes and analyses the recruitment and training of young Zambians in the 1990s for Catholic religious Brotherhood. The consequences of the missionary employment of Euro-American concepts of personhood and self that involve particular understandings of narrative and the use of psychological testing are explored. The author argues that Zambian understandings of personhood and of individual experience of evil and suffering are silenced in the process of religious formation. This discussion raises salient issues about training for Catholic religious or priestly life in Africa because similar techniques have been commonly employed throughout the continent.

Wat is de mens, dat Gij hem gedenkt? Een bijdrage tot een homiletische antropologie

This article offers a contribution to the homiletical anthropology. It is an attempt to correct certain elements of the classical reformed vision, where human beings are theologically defined as sinners. About human relations, human thoughts, words and deeds, one cannot speak only in terms of sin, deficit or guilt that must be redeemed. Human experience also attests to the reality of the Kingdom of God and its righteousness. Theoretical homiletics and practical sermons have to accept this ambivalence of experience. This article wants to do justice to the multifacetted and multi-coloured character of the witnesses of Old and New Testament. - Obedience and righteousness get their places next to guilt and failure. - When preaching speaks about sin and sinners, the preacher must distinguish between perpetrators and victims. Preaching cannot and may not throw both on one heap. - The experience of evil is not only a matter of guilt. Evil can present itself also as suffering which gives rise to lament in the midst of the community offaith. - Human beings can also be surprised by unexpected joy and grace, which gives rise to songs of praise.

No Sympathy for the Devil: Narratives about Evil

Christian religious experiences usually take place within the context of a religious group or community. Some of these experiences play a central role in propagating and sustaining group identity and belief. In many Pentecostal and charismatic communities, the most conspicuous experiences of this kind are those orchestrated by the devil, including 'demon possession' and 'supernatural assault'. Often, these encounters are thought to be part of an ongoing 'spiritual war' between the forces of good and evil. Christian victory in this war clarifies and strengthens community identity. Employing an ethnographic approach, this article examines the importance of storytelling in relation to this process. Through an analysis of three oral stories, it is suggested that storytelling is the means through which experiences of evil are interpreted and understood and that it is the essential way in which these experiences are communicated by members of a community to one another.
