Comboni Sisters: “Encounter and proclamation dialoguing with “traditional religions”
Wednesday 17 March 2021
Dear readers: The echo of the congregational journey a call to listen to our charism and the dynamism that it takes in the life of the Church and of peoples, is the issue of “In Dialogue”. It will lead us to reflect together on our encounter and proclamation dialoguing with “traditional religions” on the spiritual and cultural resources that they represent in interreligious and intercultural encounters. [See attachment]
First section: Dialogue of Knowledge, considering different religions present in Ethiopia, where values and religious practices are underlined with the role of Christianity that harmonizes diversities creating cohesion within the same culture and society.
Second section: Theological Dialogue with Traditional Religions, where we let ourselves be challenged by the meaning of Encounter with Traditional Religions and the implications for the ministry of evangelization entrusted to us.
Third section: Dialogue of Life, the witness of the Comboni Sisters from Latin America and Mozambique, allow us to be enriched by interreligious encounters with indigenous groups, or Christian population that have cultural roots in common with those believers of traditional religions. Some prayers and expressions of their faith place us in communion with every creature that raises its gaze and opens its heart to God.
We thank the sisters who share with us their reflection on the value of dialogue with "Traditional Religions", in line with the Church, who call us to nourish our concept of mission by living the proclamation in the different forms of Dialogue. With this desire for reflection and journey, we wish you: Happy reading!
