Creation As An Ecumenical Problem: Renewed Belief Through Green Experience, Thomas Hughson
Creation As An Ecumenical Problem: Renewed Belief Through Green Experience, Thomas Hughson
Theology Faculty Research and Publications
Loss of a sense of creaturehood and of members has occurred across the lines of divided churches in a secular context. The author explores the question whether green experience of nature can be a path toward a renewed sense of creaturehood. Bernard Lonergan’s distinction between faith and belief allows for identifying a primordial faith that interprets the cosmos as numinous. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises interprets primordial faith with the biblical word of God as Creator. Why not develop local ecumenical experiments in reevangelization that address green experience?
Lonergan And Integral Development, Joseph Ogbonnaya
Lonergan And Integral Development, Joseph Ogbonnaya
Theology Faculty Research and Publications
The dichotomy engendered by the hegemony of globalization as economic growth over other aspects of globalization calls for an integration that accounts for development and globalization as a phenomenon or a process that encompasses the reality of the various aspects of the human being, society, peoples, and institutions. This work examines how Lonergan’s philosophical anthropology promotes the concept of integral development as one of the ways of integrating the different forms of globalization so as to benefit the human person and to enhance the development and progress of nations.
