Resumo: |
Four decades of war have had disastrous consequences for the Angolan nation. In the city of Huambo - the second in the country and the epicenter of the armed conflict - destroyed by the fighting, the Baptist Church creatively exercised its role as a community of solidarity. The Church has not resigned itself to the misery imposed by the war, but together with the people it has discovered that the crisis brings unmissable opportunities to exercise its mission. Its role was a catalyst, gathering wills, organizing partnerships, provoking reflection, serving war victims and the needy in general. In the midst of pain, churches discover the importance of interdependence, realize that it is only through mutual cooperation and in the pursuit of the good of the other that it will be possible to achieve common goals and transform realities. At the same time that the church was an agent of transformation, it also had to adapt its methodology and change its missionary practices, that is, the church transformed and was transformed. The first chapter brings a historical retrospective from the colonial period to the present; chapter two deals with the effects of a devastating war on the lives of the population and how the church interacted with this culture of war. Finally, in chapter three, the analysis of the pastoral praxis of the church in the midst of armed conflict acting as a solidary community, a partner in the undertaking of national reconstruction and promoter of the praxis of hope. As it is a case study, the work presents a critical analysis of the pastoral praxis developed by the Baptist Church in the city of Huambo from 1985 to 2002, and may become a supplementary reading for those who live in situations of armed conflict.
