Kuidas kirikus toime tulla eriarvamustega? Kuidas teha teoloogiat ja tõlgendada Piiblit ajal, mil maailm muutub kiiresti ja infot on tohutul hulgal vaid paari kliki kaugusel? Miks jõuavad kristlased erinevatele järeldustele kuigi loetakse sama Piiblit? Nendest küsimustest innustatult püüame luua keskkonna, kus ausalt ja avameelselt saab argumenteerida ühe teema kasuks või vastu, kuid samal ajal ka püüda mõista teist osapoolt ja leida ühisosa edasiliikumiseks.Saatejuhtideks on Kõrgema Usuteadusliku Seminari teadur ja õppejõud Matthew Edminster ja Kõrgem...

2024-04-281h 39Teoloogika#25 – Piibli tõlgendamineKa siira südame ja avatud meelega Piiblit lugedes võime tekstist valesti aru saada. Miks me ikkagi teeme vigu Pühakirja tõlgendamisel? Kuidas neid vältida? Mida teha siis, kui isegi diplomeeritud teoloogid ei suuda ühe või teise lõigu tähenduse osas konsensusele jõuda? Sellest kõigest vestlevad Mikaeliga KUSi piiblikooli õppejõud Matt Edminster ja Sander Tulk.P.S. Kui saate kuulamise järel tekib tungiv soov liituda piiblikooliga, siis rohkem infot leiad aadressilt https://kus.kogudused.ee/piiblikool/.
2023-08-2957 minTeoloogika#5 – Kiskjad kirikus9. septembril eetrisse läinud Pealtnägijas toodi päevavalgele õõvastav lugu lapse seksuaalsest väärkohtlemisest kristlikus peres. Ehkki toimuvast teadsid ka teised koguduse liikmed, ei tehtud tema abistamiseks midagi. Selle asemel õpetati kuritarvitatud tüdrukule, et kristlane peab andestama… Teoloogika seni kõige raskemas osas analüüsivad psühholoog Karmen Maikalu ja pastor Erki Tamm Pealtnägijas kajastatud lugu ning arutavad, kuidas teha meie kogudustest laste jaoks päriselt turvalised paigad, kus kehtib nulltolerants igasuguse vägivalla suhtes.

Teoloogika teises osas arutavad Mikael ja 3D Koguduse pastor Jakob Remmel, mida selliste küsimustega peale hakata. Ehkki usk on paljude jaoks pigem südame ja mitte mõistuse asi, leiab Jakob, et törts apologeetikat ei tee siin kellelegi paha.
