Christian Anthropology In a Complex World

1 October 2022 @ 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

 

  1. “WALKING TOGETHER” ON WHAT FOUNDATIONS? (Always kept In Balance)
  • BIBLE – The WORD of GOD
  • TRADITION – The WORDS of GOD (summaries in Catechism of Church)
  • PHILOSOPHY – Uncommon Common Sense
  • DESCRIPTIVE SCIENCES – Recent Psychological/Sociological Disciplines.

In Australia – stress on Descriptive Sciences and Subjective Philosophies (Lacks Balance)

  1. HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND THE HUMAN PERSON? – “WALKING TOGETHER” ON 3 LEVELS
  • RELATIONAL: 3 PRIMALS
  • With GOD
  • With OTHERS
  • With “ALL THINGS”
  • WITH GOD – Body & Soul (Greek & Roman Philosophy)
  • WITH OTHERS – The Dignity of the Human Person (Rational/Free Will)
  • WITH “ALL THINGS” – Animal/Plant World/Cosmos (In what way “Relational”???)
  1. THE CHRIST-EVENT – JESUS (FULLY HUMAN, FULLY GOD). EMMAUS “WALKING TOGETHER”.
  • CHRISTIANITY – An ENCOUNTER Religion (Conversion)

Difference between a Religious Faith and a Christian Faith

  • DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON GIVEN EVEN GREATER EMPHASIS IN THE DEATH/RESURRECTION OF JESUS (Divinity)
  • CHRISTIANITY – Missionary/Evangelisation Religion (An outward Religion in an inward world)
  1. EVANGELISATION IN A SYNODAL/MARIAN WAY.
  • NEVER AN IMPOSITION/PROSELYTISER (Ideology)
  • ALWAYS A PROPOSER:

NON-VERBAL – (Architecture, Music, Beauty, Poetry, Art…)

WITNESSES/TESTIMONY OF LIFESTYLE NOT SIMPLY TEACHERS

SERVICE TO THE “PERIPHERIES”/POOR AS A THEOLOGICAL COMMUNITY – (In Australia, especially Education, Social   Services, Health.)

SOMETIMES VERBAL      -“Purifier” of ideas/ideologies/Truth of Humanity

– Preaching Jesus to the world/locally

– Testimony
