Relationships between Conscience, Consciousness and Co-working

Suneidesis & Sunergos — God's Wisdom for every day “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the ancient way. Psalm 139:23-24 Pre Did you know that the words "conscience" and "co-working" share the same dynamic in ancient Greek mindset? That small discovery opened up something much bigger for me. When scrutinizing human relationships and community dynamics we can see: the two are inseparable. Since they are in the same fractal : Both create unity, integration at their own different levels. Both have coherence and alignment which helps (or drives) the parts of the system /or: the members of the team. What connects the inner voice of conscience with the outward dynamics of community life? This article explores a striking fractal pattern hidden...

The Message of the Church in Antioch

The Culturally Diverse Leadership of the Antioch Church (Acts 13:1–3) In this article, I examine how a monocultural community of believers can become a multicultural mission outpost. This is particularly important in an era when global conflicts are arising precisely because of the Church’s biased monoculturalism. This makes the religious form of Christianity exclusive and alienates it from precisely those whom it ought to reach through God’s grace. When the first church was established, God acted very quickly and practically compelled them to take to the world stage. In this context, it is necessary to examine the original apostolic way of thinking. Antioch: Cultural and Historical Profile Antioch in Syria was the third-largest city of the Roman Empire, after Rome and Alexandria. Situated on the Orontes River and on major trade routes, {located at the site of modern Antakya, Turkey} it was a cosmopolitan hub where Jews, Greeks, Syrians,...

Az Antiochiai gyülekezet üzenete

Image
Az antiochiai egyház kulturálisan sokszínű vezetése (ApCsel 13:1–3) Ebben a cikkben azt vizsgálom, hogy egy monokulturális hívőközösség hogyan válhat multikulturális missziós előőrsé. Ez különösen fontos egy olyan korszakban, amikor a globális konfliktusok éppen az egyház elfogult monokulturalizmusa miatt alakulnak ki. Ez a kereszténység vallási formáját másokat kizáróvá teszi, és éppen azoktól idegeníti el, akiket Isten kegyelmén keresztül el kellene érnie. Amikor az első gyülekezet megalakult, Isten nagyon gyorsan cselekedett, és gyakorlatilag arra kényszerítette őket, hogy kilépjenek a világ színpadára. Ezzel kapcsolatban meg kell vizsgálni az eredeti apostoli gondolkodás­módot. Antiochia: Kulturális és történelmi áttekintés A szíriai Antiochia Róma és Alexandria után a Római Birodalom harmadik legnagyobb városa volt. Az Orontész folyó partján, {a mai törökországi Antakya területén} fontos kereskedelmi útvonalak mentén fekvő város...
