Działalność misyjna Zgromadzenia Sióstr Służek Najświętszej Maryi Panny Niepokalanej
Get PDFAugust 2022 marked 45 years of the missionary work in Africa undertaken by one of the so-called Honorat’s congregations, the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Taking into account the uniqueness of this assembly, the article demonstrates its commitment to the work of the mission ad gentes. The congregation’s founder assigned the sisters to the most needy. Today the sisters recognize their vocation as a mission to the periphery of the world and having understood and read the signs of the times, they courageously go to the periphery of today’s Church, bringing “the joy of the Gospel” to the poorest of the poor. Although Honorat’s congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary was not founded with the intention of doing mission ad gentes, it nevertheless engaged in this form of work one hundred years later. The current teaching of the Church’s Magisterium on the engagement of religious congregations in the work of evangelization includes widening of the perception and implementation of the congregation’s charism. The local vocations of this Congregation as well as the African Sisters taking over missionary offices (mission in Butare), confirm the truth that missions are not merely about giving but also about exchanging gifts.W sierpniu 2022 r. minęło 45 lat od rozpoczęcia przez siostry z jednego z tzw. zgromadzeń honorackich – Sióstr Służek Najświętszej Maryi Panny Niepokalanej – pracy misyjnej w Afryce. Artykuł prezentuje, uwzględniając specyfikę tego zgromadzenia, jego zaangażowanie w dzieło misji ad gentes. Założyciel zgromadzenia posyłał siostry do najbardziej potrzebujących. Obecnie pojmują one swoją misję jako misję na peryferiach świata, zrozumiały i odczytały znaki czasu oraz odważnie podążają na „obrzeża” dzisiejszego Kościoła, niosąc „radość Ewangelii”. Chociaż zgromadzenie sióstr honoratek, Służek Najświętszej Maryi Panny Niepokalanej, nie powstało specjalnie z myślą o misji ad gentes, to po stu latach od swego powstania podjęło tę formę pracy. Poszerzenie postrzegania i realizacji charyzmatu zgromadzenia wpisuje się w aktualne nauczanie Magisterium Kościoła o zaangażowaniu zgromadzeń zakonnych w dzieło ewangelizacji. Rodzime powołania do tego zgromadzenia, a nawet przejmowanie placówek misyjnych (misja w Butare) przez „siostry Afrykanki” potwierdzają prawdę, że misje to nie tylko dawanie, ale i wymiana darów
Nowe czasopismo naukowe: Libertas Religiosa. Studium interdyscyplinarne wolności religijnej. T. 1 (2022). Uniwersyteckie Centrum Badań Wolności Religijnej w Warszawie
Get PDFThe authors of the reviewed journal reflect on religious freedom as a specific aspect of freedom from the research perspectives of the various humanities disciplines and social sciences. The first issue of the reviewed journal demonstrates this diversity in form and content, as well as in the methods and scientific experience of the individual authors. Despite these differences in the scientific insight of the presented researchers, the editors of the journal decided to publish them on the assumption that, while the authors’ interests and methodological approaches differ, they are united above all by a much-needed diverse perspective on the problem of religious freedom. This vast scope of investigation, both workshop and cultural (as well as geographical) is critical here, since it imposes the multidisciplinary nature of the research, its holistic character and, to some measure, methodological cosmopolitanism, sooner or later. The titles of articles in the first volume suggest the relevance of the research included inside it, offering a fairly representative overview of the current interests of Polish scholars.Autorzy recenzowanego czasopisma podejmują refleksję na temat wolności religijnej jako szczególnego aspektu wolności z perspektyw badawczych poszczególnych nauk humanistycznych i społecznych. To zróżnicowanie form i treści, a także metod i naukowego doświadczenia poszczególnych autorów widoczne jest w pierwszym numerze recenzowanego czasopisma. Pomimo tych różnic w naukowej wnikliwości prezentowanych badaczy redaktorzy czasopisma postanowili je opublikować, wychodząc z założenia, że chociaż autorów różnią zainteresowania i podejście metodologiczne, to jednak łączy ich przede wszystkim tak potrzebne różnorodne spojrzenie na problem wolności religijnej. To szerokie pole badawcze, tak warsztatowe, jak i kulturowe (oraz geograficzne) ma tutaj fundamentalne znaczenie, gdyż wymusza wcześniej czy później interdyscyplinarny charakter badań, holistyczny ich charakter i w pewnej mierze metodologiczny kosmopolityzm. Tytuły pierwszego tomu wskazują na aktualność zawartych w nim badań, stanowiąc dość reprezentatywny przegląd aktualnych zainteresowań polskich badaczy
Paradygmat krajowego, instytucjonalnego zaangażowania misyjnego na podstawie działalności Prokury Misyjnej Misjonarzy Oblatów Maryi Niepokalanej (1969-2022)
Get PDFThe Missionary Procuration of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (1969-2022) is a national institution supporting Oblate, but not only, missionary activity ad gentes. Its structure also includes: Public Association of the Faithful “Friends of the Oblate Missions” (since 1969), Association Oblacka Pomoc Misjom “Lumen Caritatis” (since 2009), the Missionary Roads magazine and website (since 2014), and the Mazenodianum Institute Foundation (since 2021). These institutions, apart from the association of “Friends of the Oblate Missions”, previously operated separately. From the very beginning, the Missionary Procuration has been associated with the basic areas of its activity: providing spiritual and material assistance to missionaries and the works they carry out; supporting the awakening of missionary vocations; propagating the missionary idea both among the clergy and lay people, also through: the activities of the Friends of the Mission, the activities of the “Lumen Caritatis” association, the publishing of the “Missionary Roads” magazine, the www.misacyjne.pl website, books and ephemeral publications, presence in other social media, parish animations and mission retreats, conducting social campaigns, other evangelistic, cultural and scientific events related to the promotion of Oblate missions. The conducted research shows, among others, that: this activity in many of its aspects may be paradigmatic for other national mission institutions (eg WYD or the missionary secretariat of the Divine Word Missionaries work in a similar way). The realities of missionary activity and research have also shown that the centralization of missionary activities in one institutional entity within the religious or diocesan jurisdiction is a better solution than their atomization. The purpose of missionary institutions is not only spiritual and material help for the mission, but also a much wider multifaceted activity; in the activities of ecclesial missionary institutions, both proven and modern missionary tools should be used, and in-depth mission formation, as well as the creation of communities, groups of people engaged in mission is a condition of permanent missionary assistance.The Missionary Procuration of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (1969-2022) is a national institution supporting Oblate, but not only, missionary activity ad gentes.

Alawici – czciciele Słońca czy Boga Najwyższego?
Get PDFThis article presents that numerous unorthodox syncretic groups, which are composed of the elements of various religions, and emerged from Islam over the centuries. Their distinguishing feature was the exaggerated cult of some personalities, generally Ali Ibn Abi Talib. One of these movements is the Alawis that plays an important political role in Syria nowadays. The originality of the Alawis’ worship and doctrine is expressed by the importance of the sun and the moon, among others things. The light is the essence of God and the sun or the moon is considered God’s dwelling.This article presents that numerous unorthodox syncretic groups, which are composed of the elements of various religions, and emerged from Islam over the centuries.

Wokół chrztu Rusi Kijowskiej do czasów Włodzimierza I Wielkiego
Get PDFThe evangelization of Kievan Rus’ had already begun under the reign of Princess Olga, who was baptized, according to popular belief, in Constantinople. However, it was her grandson, Prince Vladimir I the Great, who was the true baptizer of Rus’. He was the one who brought his principality to baptism, but failing to eradicate paganism. However, this prince’s decision to receive baptism appeared to be motivated more by political than religious considerations. Rus’s reputation as a Christian country was boosted by crediting its evangelization to the apostle Andrew personally. Apart from this apostle, Prince Vladimir was also likened to Moses, Kings David and Solomon, as well as St. Paul and St. George, while Princess Olga was linked to St. Mary Magdalene and St. Helena, all of whom were regarded as baptizers of Rus. The granting of this sacrament to Princess Olga, Prince Vladimir’s prior awareness of Christianity, and the presence of Christians in his troop were the circumstances most conducive to the Ruthenian ruler’s embrace of baptism. This is the subject of the article.Ewangelizacja Rusi Kijowskiej zaczęła się już za panowania księżnej Olgi, która przyjęła chrzest, według powszechnego poglądu, w Konstantynopolu. Jednakże rzeczywistym chrzcicielem Rusi był dopiero jej wnuk, książę Włodzimierz I Wielki. To on doprowadził do chrztu swe księstwo, ale nie zdołał wytrzebić z niego pogaństwa. Na decyzję o przyjęciu chrztu przez tego księcia bardziej jednak zdawały się wpływać czynniki polityczne niż religijne. Prestiż Rusi jako kraju chrześcijańskiego usiłowano podnieść, przypisując jej ewangelizację samemu apostołowi Andrzejowi. Z nim też, jak i z Mojżeszem, królami Dawidem i Salomonem oraz ze św. Pawłem i św. Jerzym porównywano księcia Włodzimierza, natomiast księżną Olgę ze św. Marią Magdaleną i św. Heleną, w obojgu widząc chrzcicieli Rusi. Okolicznościami najbardziej sprzyjającymi przyjęciu chrztu przez ruskiego władcę było udzielenie tego sakramentu księżnej Oldze, wcześniejsza znajomość chrześcijaństwa przez księcia Włodzimierza, a także obecność chrześcijan w jego drużynie. O tym traktuje niniejszy artykuł
Świętość i wolność — nowe wyzwania dla współczesnych chrześcijan. Kleryk Sługa Boży Alfons Mańka OMI wśród kleryków–męczenników II wojny światowej. Red. Paulina Jabłońska. Warszawa 2022 (ss. 207, Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego w Warszawie)
Get PDFThe research topic of the reviewed monograph is the phenomenon of holiness as a path to true human freedom in the context of the new challenges confronting the modern Christian. The life and death of the seminarian Alphonse Mańka OMI, a martyr of World War II, is examined in particular. The authors of the monograph attempt to address the question of what factors (methods of upbringing) impact the formation of a mature attitude of faith, capable of overcoming the suffering caused by persecution. A multifaceted, interdisciplinary educational paradigm is required at Polish seminaries for this goal. In order for it to be implemented, it is vital to develop an environment in the family home for the maturation of a priestly or religious vocation. It is also important to show this path of life in its broader context, which includes religious persecution.Przedmiotem badawczym recenzowanej monografii jest fenomen świętości jako droga do prawdziwej wolności człowieka w optyce nowych wyzwań rysujących się przed współczesnym chrześcijaninem. W sposób szczególny rozpatrywany jest przypadek życia i śmierci kleryka Alfonsa Mańki OMI, męczennika II wojny światowej. Autorzy monografii próbują znaleźć odpowiedź jakie czynniki (metody wychowania) mają wpływ na ukształtowanie się dojrzałej postawy wiary, zdolnej przezwyciężyć cierpienie spowodowane prześladowaniem. W tym celu potrzeba wielowymiarowego, interdyscyplinarnego modelu wychowania w seminariach duchownych w Polsce. Do jego wdrażania potrzebne jest stworzenie klimatu dojrzewania powołania kapłańskiego czy też zakonnego w domu rodzinnym. Ważne jest także ukazanie tej drogi życia w jej szerokim kontekście, w tym w kontekście prześladowań religijnych
Franciszkańscy misjonarze w Peru
Get PDFThe history of evangelization in Peru, which started at the very onset of the 16th century is connected with the presence of the missionaries of the Franciscan Order, who played a major role in the building of Church structures on the territory of the former Inca empire. However, their main contribution was an effective evangelization of the indigenous peoples through the use of innovative methods (music, singing and art, organizing schools for Indians, knowledge of indigenous languages, protection of Indians against excessive exploitation). In this activity they were urged by their Franciscan charisma summed up in the greeting “Peace and good”. Their missionary commitment was realized not only in the Andean world, but over time expanded across the Amazon Selva.

Polacy w Kościele katolickim na Kaukazie Północnym
Get PDFThe history of the Poles in the North Caucasus dates back to the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, but the presence of Catholic priests in this region can only be spoken of at the beginning of the nineteenth century. At first Polish priests only made travels to the Caucasus, but later began to set up parishes to address the spiritual needs of the Poles exiled there. The pastoral activity of the priests was not limited to the sphere of the spirit, but also focused on material help. An important point of their activity was the construction of churches. They collected donations for this purpose themselves and were also constantly supported by the Russian authorities. They were not detracted in their endeavors by the repressions that followed in the wake of the Polish national uprisings or suspicion of proselytism.The history of the Poles in the North Caucasus dates back to the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, but the presence of Catholic priests in this region can only be spoken of at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
