Los Amigos tenemos cierta reputaci\u00f3n por hacer las cosas a nuestra manera. Desde los primeros tiempos, nos opusimos a las estructuras b\u00e1sicas de la religiosidad dominical, abandonando a los pastores remunerados por un culto radicalmente no estructurado donde todos deb\u00edamos ser ministros y laicos. Micah Bales arroja algo de luz sobre esta evoluci\u00f3n en su art\u00edculo \u201c\u00bfMinisterio gratuito para todos?\u201d (p\u00e1g. 13). <\/p>\nPero algo curioso ha estado sucediendo en esas otras iglesias. Una combinaci\u00f3n de teolog\u00eda fresca, un cambio generacional tect\u00f3nico y, quiz\u00e1s lo m\u00e1s importante, la reducci\u00f3n de los presupuestos y el tama\u00f1o de las congregaciones ha estado obligando a las iglesias convencionales a evolucionar hacia una forma h\u00edbrida que deber\u00eda resultar, al menos, algo familiar para los Amigos. <\/p>\n
Varias iglesias convencionales est\u00e1n cambiando a pastores a tiempo parcial que tienen que compaginar otros trabajos adem\u00e1s de las responsabilidades familiares. Lo llaman ministerio \u201cbivocacional\u201d, y en el ensayo de apertura (p\u00e1g. 6), Robin Mohr sugiere que los Amigos deber\u00edamos adoptar el t\u00e9rmino y entrar en la conversaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n
El hecho de que los Amigos hayamos estado compaginando el ministerio con los medios de vida y la familia durante tres siglos no significa que seamos inmunes a los cambios en los patrones de empleo. Mohr sugiere que la supervivencia de la Sociedad Religiosa de los Amigos depende de que acertemos con el equilibrio. Ciertamente, hay mucho en juego. \u00bfC\u00f3mo nos reunimos como reuniones para ayudar a los Amigos a compaginar las responsabilidades y discernir tanto sus vocaciones como sus l\u00edmites? <\/p>\n
Ashley M. Wilcox comparte su propia historia de ser una Amiga viajera contempor\u00e1nea que compagina el ministerio y un trabajo a tiempo completo en \u201cEnviando adelante\u201d (p\u00e1g. 16). El relato incluye una vertiginosa variedad de agencias de concesi\u00f3n de subvenciones; un viaje fue financiado a trav\u00e9s de cuatro becas diferentes. Mientras solicitaba las subvenciones, hizo una distinci\u00f3n que los primeros Amigos podr\u00edan haber apreciado: que no se le pagara por el ministerio en s\u00ed, sino solo que pudiera \u201cevitar tener que pagar por hacer el ministerio\u201d. <\/p>\n
En \u201cLiberando a los Amigos\u201d (p\u00e1g. 9), Vonn New y Viv Hawkins proponen un nuevo modelo para apoyar los ministerios incipientes. Aprovecha las nuevas posibilidades de comunicaci\u00f3n para ayudar a conectar a los posibles financiadores con las interesantes posibilidades de ministerio. El proyecto parece un experimento valioso, y te animo a que te involucres y ayudes si te sientes llamado a ello. Otro modelo prometedor es la peque\u00f1a reuni\u00f3n en una ciudad universitaria de Illinois, de la que Mariellen Gilpin habla en \u201cCentrarse en la Gu\u00eda\u201d (p\u00e1g. 19). Han desarrollado la pr\u00e1ctica de nombrar y apoyar los ministerios incipientes de los asistentes, muchos de ellos estudiantes, ofreciendo estipendios de viaje junto con comit\u00e9s de claridad y apoyo. <\/p>\n
[dropcap]En<\/span> el n\u00famero de enero, Gabriel Ehri utiliz\u00f3 esta columna para compartir noticias sobre el pr\u00f3ximo proyecto QuakerSpeak, una serie semanal de entrevistas en v\u00eddeo de YouTube financiada por el Fondo Thomas H. y Mary Williams Shoemaker. Cuando este n\u00famero llegue a tu buz\u00f3n de correo, los primeros v\u00eddeos se habr\u00e1n publicado en QuakerSpeak.com<\/em>. He visto algunas de las primeras im\u00e1genes que nuestro nuevo vide\u00f3grafo, Jon Watts, ha grabado y puedo prometer que te espera una sorpresa. Te invito a que te unas a nosotros en QuakerSpeak.com<\/em> para disfrutar de interesantes entrevistas con Amigos modernos. <\/p>\nEn amistad,<\/p>\n
