Christian Anthropology In a Complex World
1 October 2022 @ 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
- “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)
- 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”???)
- 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)
- 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
