Formation of Human Conscience: A Way of Liberation and Redemption
(Tangaza University College, 2007) Omondi Watta, Joahness
This paper deals with the issue of human person and conscience formation from the perspective of Luo tradition and Christian tradition. We shall examine the reason why it is important to review the formation program in the Christian life. Due to the fact that early missionaries didn't put into consideration the idea of inculturation, there have been problems concerning the way a Luo Christian should live his/her Christian life faithfully without being involved in syncretism. Moreover, we shall look into some of the ways in which a Luo attitude can be changed through inculturation. This can be done by inculturating Christianity into the Luo traditional values of the people themselves. So, our attention is focused on the formation of human conscience among the Luo people of western Kenya, as well as the understanding and formation of human conscience in the Scriptural and theological aspects. We further look into ways in which inculturation of Christian formation of human conscience can be made possible from the perspectives of Luo tradition, touching especially on the areas of community, family and pastoral problems and solutions. The main area of concern is "inculturating" I Christianity into Luo ways of life as a concern to the traditional values and customs.
A Retreat Conference on the Gospel Message to the Youth
(Tangaza University College, 2007) Kidus, Weldegiorgis
This retreat on the Gospel message is for the youth aged approximately between 17-25 years. The youth are not a separated group of people but they are a group that forms part of the church, as the people of God. As a matter of fact, the youth are challenged by the present world's situation and not being committed to Jesus in the Church. Yes, the youth are the future leaders of the Church and the society at large but something hinders them not to accept this fact and see forward. Some youth are incapable of realizing their good talents in them. At timcs they appreciate the Church less; to the extend of being pessimistic. Many Christians rather Catholic youth take Christian life just for granted. They think to be a Christian, the most important thing is just to be baptized, and that is all. And they forget to take seriously their responsibility of following Jesus in whom they are baptized as Christians. Those who don't have strong faith, try to move from one church to another. At last they even lose their little faith they have in God. Therefore, it is everybody's responsibility to understand them and give quick solutions to their challenges; and also to accept them as they are.
Redeemed By the Sacrifice of Christ?
(Tangaza University College, 2009) Kamoga, John Bosco
At the start of one's theological studies, one will be introduced to theology as a science of "faith seeking understanding". Human experiences at times bring us face to face with the not so pleasant task of having to question our creeds with the aim of trying to make sense of them, especially those times when what we profess as our faith is contr.Oadicted by our human experiences. At the heart of this work is the earnest attempt to grapple with the negative dimensions of the human predicament, even as the Christian faith continues to teach and hold as an article of faith the fact that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, by his life, ministry, passion, death, burial, resurrection, heavenly intercession and sending of the Spirit, offered a sacrifice which had an eternal effect on the condition of humanity and the rest of creation. The Church teaches that by this single sacrifice, humanity is redeemed as an integral whole from sin and all the enslaving forces, and conditions hindering the human person from experiencing wholeness and enjoying a good relationship with his or her inner self, the rest of humanity, the environment and God.
The Christian Mysteries - Creation, Trinity, Incarnation Paschal Mystery And Redemption and Foundation Of Mission
(Tangaza University College, 1996-02-22) Torres, Casmiro
In this paper I would like to focus on the relationship existing between the Christian Mysteries of Creation, Trinity, Incarnation, Paschal Mystery and Redemption, and the Mission. Christian Mysteries have got their origin in God. They belong to the same universal plan of salvation tat God offered to the humanity through his only son in the power of the Holy Spirit. Though each one of these mysteries has got its own specificities, they have a common goal; to lead humanity to enter in communion of love with the Triune God. Indeed each one can be fully understood in the light of the otters. Even though human person, being limited cannot grasp these mysteries in their fullness. I will try to explain and show how these mysteries are related to the mission. How they are the source and foundation of mission. How they bestow on mission its significance and value. In the first chapter. I deal with the mystery of creation as God's action and its relation to man. He has got some roles and duties to fulfill in order to preserve God's creation and bring it to fulfillment. The Church being the steward of God's mission on earth has to continue God's plan in creation. In the second chapter, I focus on the Blessed Trinity and the Divine missions of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then I shall link this Trinitarian mission to the mission of the Church; and how Church's mission has her origin and goal in the Blessed Trinity In chapter three, I present the Christological mysteries; Incarnation, Paschal Mystery and Redemption as foundation of mission. I will explain how the mission of the Church is rooted in the Christological mysteries and the implications they have for the Church's mission.
