The article begins by reviewing the Leuenberg Agreement against the background of other models of church unity and the significance of the aim of church fellowship or communion. It then reviews how the agreement stimulated theological conversations between Lutherans and Roman Catholics, and the contribution of the insights of the Leuenberg Agreement to the process of the mutual recognition of churches, in which the communion in Jesus Christ founded in baptism plays a central role. In this process, the churches are on a pilgrimage together whose ultimate goal is the coming of the kingdom of God.</p>","PeriodicalId":43636,"journal":{"name":"ECUMENICAL REVIEW","volume":"75 3-4","pages":"349-360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42406618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reviews how the Protestant churches in the Southern Cone came to be signatories of the Leuenberg Agreement and its significance for their life and witness. Two elements in particular have proven significant over the years. The first is the theological and ecumenical platform the Leuenberg Agreement provided, which gave visibility to a phenomenon already taking place. The second is the fact that the Communion of Protestant Churches in Europe has a regional group in South America: this was the case almost from the beginning, which also poses an interesting theological and contextual challenge.</p>","PeriodicalId":43636,"journal":{"name":"ECUMENICAL REVIEW","volume":"75 3-4","pages":"377-388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48018200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These can also include the traumatic experience of the death of a family member or a loved one. Relatives and friends have a vital role to play in mourning through understanding the situation of survivors, helping them cope with trauma, relieving their sorrow, and returning them to God. Muslims, especially Iranians, have specific mourning rituals, under the influence of Islam, to console survivors in times of disappointment and loneliness. Most of these common traditional rituals are performed in groups. In the Qur'an and the narrations, many chapters refer to death and invite believers to heal the trauma of survivors and help them to trust in God. This article focuses on the Azeri regions of Iran to introduce the traditional practices of Iranian Muslims and explain how they help support and heal survivors and mourners after the death of a loved one.</p>","PeriodicalId":43636,"journal":{"name":"ECUMENICAL REVIEW","volume":"74 5","pages":"754-759"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49050183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For three decades, those accused of being members and sympathizers of the Communist Party of Indonesia suffered violence and various civil rights restrictions. The victims are still struggling to speak the truth. This article describes how victims and their families in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, formed senior prayer groups as a space for truth-telling and healing. The groups became new families, formed based on the commonality of memory. In the groups, victims were heard and honoured, mourned together, strengthened each other, and even became reconciled. Over time, the prayer group developed into a group that facilitated joint economic empowerment.

Such a postulation favours the argument that humans are prisoners of time who cannot overcome their plight because they think that suffering, failure, and oppression are their destiny, determined by time. The analysis suggests that Qohelet neither professes strong predeterminis‑m of time in human life nor gives humans absolute control of their life in time. The <i>Mahabharata</i> does not critique time and predeterminism outright but attributes importance to human endeavours and responsibilities. The acceptance of external forces like time or fate does not completely deny that human power influences destiny. Since humans have the freedom to act in the present time, it is not suitable to claim that God through time predetermines poverty, oppression, violence, and atrocities in human life.</p>","PeriodicalId":43636,"journal":{"name":"ECUMENICAL REVIEW","volume":"74 5","pages":"807-827"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43094711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
