The new evangelisation and adult religious education in Slovenia: challenges and possibilities     

Tadej Stegu 《British Journal of Religious Education》2015,37(1):53-63

The Catholic Church in Slovenia is facing the challenge of the new evangelisation in the area of religious education which, at present, is mainly confined to the parish catechesis. She recognises the urgent need to pass from the religious education of children to adult catechesis. The latter is already being implemented in various forms by a number of movements and new realities, which are mostly addressed to adults, indicating new catechetical approaches in a dechristianised environment.  相似文献   

Isolation,resilience, and faith: Experiences of Black Christian students in biology graduate programs     

Angela N. Google  Chloe D. Bowen  Sara E. Brownell  M. Elizabeth Barnes 《科学教学研究杂志》2024,61(3):591-624

To increase participation of students of color in science graduate programs, research has focused on illuminating student experiences to inform ways to improve them. In biology, Black students are vastly underrepresented, and while religion has been shown to be a particularly important form of cultural wealth for Black students, Christianity is stigmatized in biology. Very few studies have explored the intersection of race/ethnicity and Christianity for Black students in biology where there is high documented tension between religion and science. Since graduate school is important for socialization and Black students are likely to experience stigmatization of their racial and religious identity, it is important to understand their experiences and how we might be able to improve them. Thus, we interviewed 13 Black Christian students enrolled in biology graduate programs and explored their experiences using the theoretical lens of stigmatized identities. Through thematic content analysis, we revealed that students negotiated experiences of cultural isolation, devaluation of intelligence, and acts of bias like other racially minoritized students in science. However, by examining these experiences at the intersection of race/ethnicity and religion, we shed light on interactions students have had with faculty and peers within the biology community that cultivated perceptions of mistrust, conflict, and stigma. Our study also revealed ways in which students' religious/spiritual capital has positively supported their navigation through biology graduate school. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of why Black Christian graduate students are more likely to leave or not pursue advanced degrees in biology with implications for research and practice that help facilitate their success.  相似文献   

试论埃及宗教教育的发展--以爱资哈尔大学的教育改革为中心的研究     

李华 《科教文汇》2014,(24):202-203

爱资哈尔大学是伊斯兰世界享有盛名的宗教大学。从公元10世纪建立至今,经过一系列改革,爱资哈尔大学已经由一所宗教性质的大学发展成一所闻名世界的综合性现代大学。爱资哈尔大学的改革反映了埃及宗教教育的世俗化。爱资哈尔大学依然保留了部分伊斯兰教课程的教育,说明埃及宗教教育世俗化的同时注重伊斯兰教的教育。  相似文献

异质同构的终末叙事——《驿站长》中宗教伦理的现代性反思     

梅振铎 《河北北方学院学报(社会科学版)》2010,26(1):20-23

透过阐释学的视角，《驿站长》中源于《圣经》典故“浪子回头”的宗教图式与杜妮亚的人生轨迹有着结构上的同构，却在质性上指涉不同的意向。杜妮亚居于现代意义上的自觉人生选择与典故所隐喻的宗教伦理精神相悖而行，从而暗示俄国传统道德法则的失效，并在更高的意义上对宗教伦理的现代性困境作了一个终末式的叙述：社妮亚整个人生选择所预示的不仅是传统宗教伦理秩序面临的断裂，还是俄罗斯新女性代表的滥觞。  相似文献   

Religion in Chinese education: from denial to cooperation†     

Hirotaka Nanbu 《British Journal of Religious Education》2008,30(3):223-234

In China, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, it was thought that religion would disappear with the development of society and the freedom not to believe in religion was stressed. During the Cultural Revolution religion became the object of oppression. However, from the end of the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s to date, the long‐term existence of religion came to be accepted. Searching for cooperation between socialism and religion, ways in which religion could effectively contribute to modernisation began to be put forward. In comparison with the previous situation, the current period is marked by a much more tolerant policy. If one looks at religion in education, first, at the level of legal codes, the separation of public education and religion is extolled based on the rule of separation of religion and state. And, it is clearly forbidden to engage in activities that use religion to interfere with educational activities. This applies to ethnic minorities as well. Second, be this as it may, religion is touched upon at all levels of education. For example, at the level of high school education, the distribution of the three major world religions is explained and many other religions are introduced. Moreover, the culture and customs of some religions are introduced. In higher education, in universities and graduate schools, the Religious Studies major has been created for the training of those in charge of regulating religions as well as scholars. Third, several of the religions recognised by the Chinese government have developed institutions to train personnel. Furthermore, some of these institutions are working in cooperation with institutions of higher education to offer programmes of study. In this way, especially following the end of the Cultural Revolution, cooperation between socialism and religion was sought. And, coexistence with ethnic minority groups, which believe in a number of different religions, was considered. And yet, within school education, the treatment of religion is strictly limited. Only education that aims at a basic knowledge of religion is conducted. There are significant national differences in the relationship between education and religion. It would be fruitful for China to reconsider this relationship, taking account of developments in other countries, in the present situation where the Chinese government has a more tolerant policy towards religion.  相似文献   

Autonomy and religious education: lessons from a six-year evaluation of an educational reform in an Israeli school network     

Ilana Paul-Binyamin  Shahar Gindi 《British Journal of Religious Education》2017,39(2):149-171

This study investigated the tension that exists between promoting an educational agenda and practising an educational approach which emphasises autonomy within the framework of religious education. Our main thesis is that every educational deed contains a dialectical tension between endorsing an educational agenda and the promotion of autonomy. Moreover, this tension is not restricted to religious education. The intensity of such a conflict varies in accordance with the flexibility (or inflexibility) of the dogma, the conceptual cohesion of the educational agenda and the perceived importance of granting autonomy to students. The more cohesive and inflexible the educational agenda is, the greater the danger that autonomy will be discarded. The present research examined an educational reform implemented in the National-Religious School Network in Israel, which included the promotion of autonomy among principals, teachers and students. Conducted over a six-year period (2006–2012), the research employed both qualitative and quantitative methodologies and involved various stakeholders in the school network. The multifaceted picture that emerged of the relationship between educational autonomy and religious agenda is presented.  相似文献

宗教信仰是农村社会的一种普遍现象,拜神是其最基本的形式。农村妇女的宗教信仰呈现出盲目性、功利性和多元性等特点,这些特点的形成既有社会、历史的因素,又有个人的因素。而留守妇女作为农村妇女中的特殊群体,其宗教信仰既有着一般农村妇女宗教信仰的共性,又在宗教诉求内容等方面表现出自己独有的特点。  相似文献   

宗教、社会与权力关系——“宗教市场论”的社会学解读     

李向平  杨林霞 《华东师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,43(5)

以斯达克等为代表的宗教市场论自其诞生以来就受到学界的广泛关注,该理论在备受诟病的同时,也颠覆了宗教世俗化理论的固有范式,开启了当代宗教社会学研究的新视野。就宏观层次而言,斯达克的宗教市场论是一独特的宗教结构论,它不仅对宗教现象和宗教活动展开分析,同时也涉及到宗教与个体信仰、国家、社会、政治等相互之间多重复杂的互动关系。可以认为,宗教市场论新范式为当代学界研究中国宗教现象提供了一个全新的理论视角,刺激了更多的学者来推动中国宗教社会学的实证研究,以获取丰富数据和事实来检验宗教市场论的命题在中国情境中的适用性。同时,宗教市场论亦可为宗教管理当局和宗教组织提供有益借鉴,为宗教管理方式和宗教发展思路开拓一个新的途径。  相似文献   

St Francis of Assisi and Islam: A Theological Perspective on a Christian-Muslim Encounter     

Paul Rout 《Al-Masaq: Islam & the Medieval Mediterranean》2011,23(3):205-215

In 1219 an encounter took place between a Christian from Italy, Francis of Assisi, and the Muslim Sultan of Egypt, al-Malik al-Kāmil. This meeting took place at Damietta in northern Egypt during the progress of the Fifth Crusade. Over a period of perhaps three weeks, religious dialogue took place between Francis and al-Kāmil, after which time the Sultan had Francis escorted safely back to the Christian camp. It is possible to discern from the writings of Francis after his return from Egypt that the meeting had had a deep religious impact upon him, realised in the latter years of his life. It can be said that both Francis and al-Kāmil experienced through their encounter what the Christian theologian Bernard Lonergan has spoken of as a conversion into a new horizon. The historical encounter between Francis and the Sultan witnesses to the fact that through religious conversion, it is possible for members of different religious faiths to arrive at a common vision of universal peace and reconciliation.  相似文献
