Inhaltsangabe

The thesis portrays the attempt at greater lay participation and growing communion within and between local Catholic Churches in Mindanao-Sulu from 1971-1983. A focus for these varying ideologies of communion and participation was the Mindanao-Sulu Pastoral Conference and tensions were finally highlighted in the Dissociation of the Bishops from the Secretariate and the Board of the Conference. There were a number of causes for this rupture including disagreement about the nature of the church; the exercise of authority; the «this-wordly» demands of faith; and the question of armed struggle.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Analysed as a clash of ideologies as well as an example of the tension between rhetoric and practical issues of power, this is an excellent if highly specialised work with implications for the real-world sociological outworkings of ecclesiological theory. (Patrick Lambe, Theological Book Review)
