| Summary: | Instead of offering one of the traditional Christian spiritualities to the laity, a new paradigm outlined here attempts to empower them to analyze their reality and discern what type of spirituality the Spirit is calling them to in their culture and milieu. The article describes how this was done by a group of Miskito indigenous lay pastors in Nicaragua in December 1988, to help heal the wounds of war. It is an open-ended paradigm that is not limited to indigenous groups nor to postwar traumas. The process is eminently inculturated, strongly affirms the culture of the participants, and is instrumental in the evangelization of cultures. |
