Abstract:

À cause des instabilités politiques qu'elle a connues dans son histoire, l'Afrique centrale est le théâtre des guerres et conflits armés répétitifs, des marasmes économiques et des calamités socioculturelles. En conséquence, une misère indescriptible s'y est installée. Au tréfonds de cette misère se trouve une situation particulière : l'aliénation de la femme, de sorte que la pauvreté y soit perçue comme étant d'abord une affaire des femmes. En ce sens, l'on peut parler de féminisation de la pauvreté. Cet ouvrage étudie un cas, la femme chez les Nande de l'Est de la RD Congo. Il décrit les étapes et les facteurs du processus de son aliénation, à partir de l'époque ancestrale où elle était socialement appelée « reine », Mughole, jusqu'à la période actuelle durant laquelle elle est devenue la principale cible des violences de tout genre, voire du viol.

Theological visions, ethical values, planning skills, integrity leadership, fair elections, professional governing structures, anti-corruption mechanisms, innovative strategies and investment partnerships are needed to aid such developments. This handbook offers conceptual knowledge, practical solutions and case studies, written by practitioners for practitioners in churches: pastors/priests, leaders, finance officers, asset managers, donor agencies, students and all those engaged for professional, innovative, efficient and faith-based asset management of churches and church-related organisations.

Abstract:

The coexistence and mutual influence of politics and the economy is an everyday reality in modern societies. A Christian perspective on this relationship speaks to the inseparability of ethics and economy, and also to the necessity of dialogue between theology and politics. Engagement in these issues is an important public role and responsibility for churches and Christian theology. The public role of religion in Europe in this current context includes highlighting the core values of Christianity. Of special import in this regard are justice and freedom, how they are exercised in life, and a focus on other values that have undergirded the European project since its beginning. This text turns its attention to a robust theological discussion of these ideas and the challenges facing the flourishing of these values in Europe. It is a unique ecumenical, European contribution to the wider discussion on the complex intersection of theology, ethics, politics, and the economy.
