RT Book T1 Basic ecclesial communities in Brazil: the challenge of a new way of being church T2 Studies in ethics A1 Azevedo, Marcello 1927- LA English PP Washington, D.C PB Georgetown University Press YR 1987 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/163428514X AB Represents a major contribution to the understanding of the Catholic Church in the Third World. The focus is Brazil, but the issues touch the Church universally, providing it with a new and, to date, inadequately understood ecclesiological and missiological model. The author brings to this task not only his considerable skills as a social scientist and theologian, but also his many years of varied experience as a principal actor in the Brazilian Church, not only as a Jesuit provincial superior, but also as President and Executive Director of the nationwide Conference of Religious of Brazil. His book thus combines both theory and praxis OP 304 NO Translation of: Comunidades eclesiais de base e inculturação da fé NO Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-294) and index CN BX2347.72.B6 SN 978-0-87840-430-8 SN 978-0-87840-448-3 SN 0-87840-453-8 SN 978-0-87840-453-7 SN 0-87840-430-9 SN 0-87840-448-1 K1 Catholic Church : Brazil : History : 20th century K1 Basic Christian communities : Brazil : History : 20th century K1 Brazil : Church history
