This book was released on 2007 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church in recent times has had to look more and more towards the Churches of the South for its missionary personnel. Thanks largely to the Igbo Catholic Church of southeastern Nigeria, which is the pride of the Irish Holy Ghost Fathers' (Spiritans) missionary apostolate of the 20th century, Nigeria is the greatest contributor to Africa's share of this pool of new missionaries from the South. This dissertation seeks to answer the question, what mission theology informed the Irish Spiritan missionary apostolate in Igboland and how does it relate to the mission theology of the Igbo Church today? The mission theology of the Irish Spiritans was forged in the ongoing Tridentine and Counter-Reformation faith environment of the late 19th and early 20th century Ireland. This environment produced a Church that was sacramentalized, devotional, conservative, and clerical. This was essentially the Church the Irish Spiritans took to Igboland, and the Church that has more or less remained in Igboland until now. This is regrettable. Only a genuine and wholehearted effort at inculturation can help change this, and so far the Igbo Church, with help from the Vatican, has done a less than adequate job of this. The Igbo Church must have a rethink if it hopes to avoid the crisis that has befallen the Irish Church in recent times, and if its growing number of missionaries will be better ambassadors of Christ to the nations. To better equip its missionaries, the Igbo Church must be selective in what it reclaims from its Irish heritage and must draw from the resources of Igbo traditional culture and religion. It is in the interest of the universal Church that the Igbo Church succeeds in this important task for failure here will entail significant consequences for the Church's mission to the nations.

This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, we can no longer hide under the pretence that the grace of God alone suffices to make one a good priest. A close study of the history of priestly formation has shown that not just the training of priests can ensure an authentic priest-product, rather a continuous effort to adapt the training to the current world situation so that priests would be in the position to discharge their duties effectively. Such readiness to adaptability should, of course, not lose sight of the meaning and function of the priest as revealed in the person of Jesus: a service to the world. In the bid to assess the models for the training of priests in South-eastern Nigeria, the author using a historical-critical method traced the history of the models and events that shaped the current modules for the training of priests in South-eastern Nigeria. At the end of the historical research, he proffered some suggestions for improvement, amendment and solidification of the training of priests in the area. As one of the younger African churches, the examination of the training of priests in South-eastern Nigeria will also serve as a paradigm or typology for understanding the dynamics and the process of training of priests in other African countries, since most of these local churches share relatively similar historical, cultural, economic and socio-political circumstances.
Download or read book Africa and the New Face of Mission written by Charles A. Ebelebe and published by Rlpg/Galleys. This book was released on 2009 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa and the New Face of Mission, Ebelebe argues that the mission theory and practice of the Irish Spiritans in Igboland (1905-1970) was forged in the socio-political and faith environment of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Ireland; an environment that produced a Church that was sacramentized, devotional, conservative, and clerical. It was this Church that the Irish Spiritans took to Igboland, and the Church that has largely endured there until now. The author considers this regrettable and calls for inculturation as the only way forward. He highlights the significant contribution of the Igbo Catholic Church to the growing pool of missionaries from the South and argues that for this Church to be truly Igbo, it must be selective in what it reclaims from its Irish Heritage and must draw from the resources of Igbo traditional culture and religion. In this way, the Church can better equip its growing number of missionaries to other nations. Book jacket.
