Download or read book Challenges of Christian Marriage in African Culture written by Sylvester Oyeka and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Challenges of Christian Marriage in Africa Culture is a reflection of Fr. Sylvester on the challenges encountered by Christian marriage in a communitarian African culture of kinship. While Christian marriage is a free decision of the couple involved, African marriage is a communitarian task, and thus, the decision of the community must take precedence. The contrast between Christian marriage and African marriage becomes a challenge to the Christian ideology of marriage. However, this book aims at a reconciliation between these marriages, where the moral values found in either marriage could be adopted for a sustainable marriage.

Download or read book For the Sake of Christian Marriage Abolish Church Weddings written by Klaus Fiedler and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decades, an ever-growing gap has developed between traditional marriage and the officiation of it as a church wedding, because of the expenses involved in a "proper" church wedding. These are not demanded by the churches, but by common social expectations. Irrespective of whether a church sees marriage as a sacrament or as a civil order, much emphasis is put on it, by the churches and by society. Many churches exclude those "not properly married" from the sacraments. But why should the churches put so much emphasis on their church wed-dings, a ritual not found in the New Testament, and which came into the church only almost a thousand years later?
Download or read book Recognising Customary Marriage in Africa and Civil Marriage Everywhere written by Michael McGuckian S.J. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Catholics in Africa are excommunicated because they get married according to their local customs. That is an absurd and scandalous situation, and this book sets out to correct it. The problem is found to rest on three mistakes made down the centuries in the Canon Law. There was the introduction of the Pauline Privilege in the twelfth century. Then the introduction of the canonical form of marriage at the Council of Trent. Then the condemnation of civil marriage in the nineteenth century. When these mistakes are corrected, the solution to the problem is easy. The three mistakes are based on theological errors, and alternative positions are presented here. As well as solving the problem of customary marriages, it also solves the problems around mixed marriages between Catholics and Protestants, and the anomalous ‘double marriages,’ civil and religious, in continental Europe

Download or read book Marriage in the Christian and Igbo Traditional Context written by Emmanuel Okonkwo and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frankfurt/M., Berlin, Bern, Bruxelles, New York, Oxford, Wien. Traditional marriage and Christian marriage rites presently exist as two distinct ceremonies in some parts of Africa. Is there no way of bringing the two together to avoid any form of duplication or multiplication of rite? More so because the Church has always implicitly recognised matrimonial institution as a cultural product. The answer to the above question is located in the whole issue of inculturation. A process that successfully flourished in the Western civilisation and consequently influenced the teaching of the Church on marriage. The answer to our question seeks to establish a marriage rite where couples will genuinely experience the happy marriage between culture and Church. A marriage rite that will fulfil both the traditional and Christian demands. Contents: Concrete steps towards the inculturation of Christian sacramental and Igbo traditional marriage.

Book excerpt: Written for families and pastoral caregivers in Africa, this research-based study offers insights on topics such as lobolo (where a man pays the family of his fiancee for her hand in marriage), infertility, and the role of intervention in a marriage by the extended family. The book demonstrates how unjustly and unfairly certain African practices and traditions have been criticized, and it discusses some of the undesirable outcomes due to the ignorance behind the criticism.

This will be an invaluable guide to families seeking a balanced approach to African Christian marriage, and it offers solutions to various issues around the preparation for marriage.
Download or read book Christianity in Roman Africa written by J. Patout Burns and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a combination of literary and archeological evidence, this in-depth, illustrated book documents the development of Christian practices and doctrine in Roman Africa -- contemporary Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco -- from the second century through the Arab conquest in the seventh century. Robin Jensen and Patout Burns, in collaboration with Graeme W. Clarke, Susan T. Stevens, William Tabbernee, and Maureen A. Tilley, skillfully reconstruct the rituals and practices of Christians in the ancient buildings and spaces where those practices were performed. Numerous site drawings and color photographs of the archeological remains illuminate the discussions. This work provides valuable new insights into the church fathers Tertullian, Cyprian, and Augustine. Most significantly, it offers a rich, unprecedented look at early Christian life in Roman Africa, including the development of key rituals and practices such as baptism and eucharist, the election and ordination of leaders, marriage, and burial. In exploring these, Christianity in Roman Africa shows how the early African Christians consistently fought to preserve the holiness of the church amid change and challenge.
