I hope to address some key questions regarding Ghanaian deliverance practices (at home and abroad) and integrate my findings into ministry, whether to Africans or anyone. Some of these questions include: “What drives Ghanaians to seek deliverance? How have they, historically, sought to deal with the spirit realm? How do they currently seek to deal with it? What are some of the differences between a traditional Ghanaian understanding and that of a Ghanaian Pentecostal view?”"],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Miscellaneous"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["4f3e9d5f-fc19-4d44-a264-44b56604eb9a"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791128992605011968,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:08:37.618Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:55:02Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:24:59Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"44f05a52-65af-4901-9c42-33485a8a1229","accessControl_ssim":["0b3acb84-2797-4e09-8d19-d41c4720e51e"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Language for Effective Preaching: Practical Guide for Fidei Donum Priests in the Belleville Diocese"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:55:01Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T00:07:54Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["00a9e62e-53fb-49e9-948a-8d7141334f0f"],"hasLease_ssim":["3591da90-4564-4b72-ba99-c3a73626b0bb"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"discipline_tesim":["Preaching"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Aquinas Institute of Theology"],"advisor_tesim":["Joseph  Rajpaul Sundararaj D.Min."],"year_tesim":["2020"],"location_tesim":["Africa","United States"],"resource_type_tesim":["Dissertation"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Urban Chidi Osuji"],"publisher_tesim":["Aquinas Institute of Theology"],"subject_tesim":["Clergy","Mission of the church","Bible--Homiletic use","Preaching","Bible--Language, style","Christianity and culture"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["LANGUAGE FOR EFFECTIVE PREACHINGPRACTICAL GUIDE FOR FIDEI DONUM PRIESTSIN THE BELLEVILLE DIOCESEUrban Osuji, Aquinas Institute of Theology, St. Louis, Missouri.Culture is an inherited conception that has to do with what a person learns from the parents, others, and the society about what it means to be a human being. As a child grows in the society, the child learns the culture’s general assumptions about family relations, relations between men and women, attitude towards life and death. A child learns these assumptions from parents and caregivers. There are other cultural expressions including table manners and the distribution of chores. Of all these inherited conceptions, language is the most symbolic of them all. Language as an essential part of preaching is the subject of this thesis. The hypothesis is that Fidei Donum Priests can be effective Preachers by attending to the linguistic idioms, imageries, phrases, and sentence construction of the local congregation. The language of preaching is the concrete language of everyday life. Preaching language is the language that the children hear and understand and when they do not understand, their mothers offer a simpler understanding of the language with stories and imageries. Stories and imageries create and leave impressions on the emotional life of the people. When Priests use stories, imageries, and metaphors in preaching, listeners identify God’s presence in their midst. And that is why concrete imageries are the best tools for preaching. But the use of concrete language in preaching does not come easy to the missionaries. Therefore, Fidei Donum Priests must immerse themselves by taking time to go to the people, live among them, share their lives and learn their language, including imageries, metaphors, and stories that have significant value for them."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Aquinas Institute of Theology"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["416f1c5f-a1c7-4596-b214-83b6abadee9c"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791130027801182208,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:25:04.858Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:38:35Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-05-22T03:29:33Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"f66c65b1-7de7-423b-83be-c7dfbd675ac0","accessControl_ssim":["a0db9757-3253-4ce3-9b57-1b151434c998"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Discipleship Of Muslim Background Believers In The Context Of Persecution: A Study In North Africa"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:38:34Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T05:10:12Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["447d8527-4138-4bd1-bad3-fe76ea5e631b"],"hasLease_ssim":["01cda8ed-867e-4fcf-a217-bb6ae6f0d749"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"discipline_tesim":["Missions and evangelism"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"],"advisor_tesim":["James Plueddemann Ph.D.","Craig  Ott Ph.D.","Martin Crain D.Min."],"year_tesim":["2016"],"location_tesim":["Africa"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

It begins with the theological foundation of discipleship within the context of persecution and moves on to an examination of the existing literature on the topic.This researcher conducted qualitative interviews with eighteen MBBs in a city in North Africa and another twelve experienced disciplers who worked in that field. The purpose of this project is to investigate the themes found in the journeys of discipleship and to discover the specific factors that influence MBB disciples to mature in Christ.Based on a robust understanding and the findings of this research, a proposal for 'Adaptive Discipleship Principles in the Context of Persecution' is put forth for workers to enhance the process of training and discipling MBBs, who might suffer for their faith, to know Him and to make Him known.The research concludes that fear is a key challenging barrier. Those who crossed that barrier have identified themselves with the early church disciples (Acts 4:31). Another important factor that needs the attention of the disciplers is that this kind of work will take patience, perseverance, and much time. This work will be done on a low profile and it will continue to be unnoticeable."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["c654e922-76d0-4427-ac29-e286b7997781"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1799721922883223552,"timestamp":"2024-05-22T03:29:34.527Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:25:29Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:13:43Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"8612d6e9-9f53-409d-a5fb-81ee9f88d311","accessControl_ssim":["c57c3dd6-ad47-4c94-a53d-daac6e131432"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Toward the Spirituality of Oneness: A Remedy to the Attitude of 'We versus They,' A Case of the Turkana and Pokot Communities in Lodwar and Kitale Catholic Dioceses, Kenya"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:25:28Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T02:04:59Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["7ecbf1ec-97bc-4aa7-9051-470e574775f0"],"hasLease_ssim":["533db2a1-2268-492b-baa8-20fe68f97575"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"discipline_tesim":["Spirituality"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Catholic Theological Union"],"advisor_tesim":["Dawn  M.

We use the Pokot and Turkana ethnic groups as a case study. Through social analysis and the theological reflection, that is, the dialogue of the problem with Magisterium of the church about the spirituality of oneness based on our Lord Jesus’ prayer, “Father that may be one…” (John 17:21), it discusses ways of how humanity can eradicate this divisive attitude by learning how to live as “one” with the aid of Christian (Catholic) spirituality. On the basis of this examination, a number of Pastoral recommendations are proposed on ways in which the catechists as lay ministers at the grassroots can be able to contribute to the rigorous efforts of combating the sin of division to the unity in diversity which we focus on and term as the spirituality of oneness.  Thus adding a new dimension of how humanity is to live as one as it captures the daily dynamics, transformative quality of spirituality as a lived experience linked to our relationship to the Ultimate, with others and society and the cosmic world."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Catholic Theological Union"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["b51273d2-7ff5-4ecb-af24-64508c2367ad"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791129317064835072,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:13:47.047Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:19:04Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:15:06Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"98a6ef08-d3d8-41ca-8359-550d854f748c","accessControl_ssim":["c46a610d-eec6-4b16-b5a4-406cb805b96c"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Mmanwu Ritual In Igboland: Lessons and Implications for Inculturation and Christian-Muslim Dialogue in Nigeria."],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:19:03Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T02:35:44Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["bfd7d967-618e-4375-8ded-e75459b379d9"],"hasLease_ssim":["3daddb26-c919-404f-a194-f115b31e111f"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"discipline_tesim":["Intercultural Studies"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Catholic Theological Union"],"advisor_tesim":["Alexander C Scott Dr. Ph.D."],"year_tesim":["2019"],"location_tesim":["Africa","Nigeria"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

Despite the many important complexities and nuances of sophisticated theologies of inculturation, what it refers to is simply an ideal for how the Gospel of Jesus Christ transforms the human family. It refers to a mode of evangelization by which specific cultures avails themselves to the Church, and the Church to specific cultures, for a mutually enriching dialogue in which nothing that is truly good and holy is at lost. Unfortunately, the history of Christianity is littered with the tragic results of various processes of confrontation and domination (particularly of the colonial sort) masquerading as evangelization, but actually profoundly at odds with the inculturative model of Christ. Far from providing for a holistic and authentically “holy” union of universal Gospel and local culture, these processes have created what, in many instances, have been unnecessary rifts and even hostilities between what is perceived as “Gospel” and what is perceived as “culture.” This thesis project is aimed at exploring the phenomenon of Mmanwu, an indigenous Igbo religious institution which has for centuries been at the center of what might be referred to as one of the many examples of both the misadventures of inculturation gone wrong in Nigeria and the pregnant possibilities of inculturation done properly. Because  questions about inculturation with respect to Mmanwu are inherently interreligious, the thesis will conclude by attempting to apply some of the lessons from the questions around Mmanwu and inculturation to yet another important locus of inculturation in Nigeria: Christian-Muslim dialogue"],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Catholic Theological Union"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["b51273d2-7ff5-4ecb-af24-64508c2367ad"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791129403167604736,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:15:09.160Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T17:30:43Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:01:56Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"a9406a4e-db71-4ad5-af84-fdc0f97137f9","accessControl_ssim":["00e7fe57-79af-4bed-b07e-3559268fa6bc"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Equipping Pastors to Contend for the Faith"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T17:30:42Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T03:02:04Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["d62ca779-f94a-481d-93cc-edda3459f8db"],"hasLease_ssim":["378ed044-61f8-4d81-bcf2-f0dac0bb2838"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Westminster Seminary California"],"year_tesim":["2017"],"location_tesim":["Africa"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Timothy Z Witmer"],"publisher_tesim":["Westminster Seminary California"],"subject_tesim":["Education--Curriculum","Church history","Clergy--Training of"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This project offers an approach to non-traditional pastoral training for poor and under-equipped pastors serving the exploding church in Africa and elsewhere in, especially, the global south.

Topics addressed: biblical and theological foundations for pastoral training, a brief history of the church in Africa, the current state of training among poor pastors and the theory and practice of pastoral training using the program."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Miscellaneous"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["4f3e9d5f-fc19-4d44-a264-44b56604eb9a"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791128574560829440,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:01:58.940Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T17:18:20Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T04:04:01Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"cf16038e-fe4d-4841-90c7-663771998ebb","accessControl_ssim":["27ba2966-7b06-4334-bcc8-6f35a33ed53f"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Toward maturity: the journey of the C \u0026 MA mission and the √âglise Protestante √âvang√©lique in Guinea"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T17:18:19Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T04:04:01Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["9a4da1fd-b89f-46bd-b38f-976e427bb4f2"],"hasLease_ssim":["3da67af2-40fd-49d1-8f9b-f0143db6cf28"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Bethel Seminary (St. Paul, MN)"],"advisor_tesim":["Herbert V Klem"],"year_tesim":["2016"],"location_tesim":["Guinea","Africa"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Daniel Ibsen"],"keyword_tesim":["Missions--Methods"],"publisher_tesim":["Bethel Seminary (St. Paul, MN)"],"subject_tesim":["Christian and Missionary Alliance","Missions--Social aspects","Eglise protestante évangélique de Guinée","Missions--Theory","Indigenous churches","Missions"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This project presents the events and factors that contributed to the development, maturation and indigenization of the Église Protestante Évangélique de Guinée (EPEG) resulting from the effort of the Christian \u0026 Missionary Alliance misison in Guinea, West Africa.

Using biblical evidence as the basis for evangelism, discipleship and leadership development, the author interviews Malagasy traditional priests on Malagasy rites of passage and implements the African Model as a means for reproducing Malagasy Christian leaders by using the key components  integrated in the program.
