Kuelekea Utamaduni Hai wa Uzee wa Kiroho<\/h4>\n\n

Huduma ya maneno ni aina ya huduma inayotambulisha Quakerism. Kwa miaka mia mbili, tulisaidia huduma hii kwa utamaduni wa uzee wa kiroho ambao ulizunguka kuandika mahubiri. Wazee walikuwa wakitazama Marafiki waliokuwa wakiibuka katika huduma yao; baada ya kipindi cha kukomaa na utambuzi, mkutano ungeandika kipaji chao. <\/p>\n\n

Kuanzia mwishoni mwa karne ya kumi na tisa, hata hivyo, na hasa katika karne ya ishirini, baadhi ya mikutano ya kila mwaka iliweka chini mazoea ya kuandika mahubiri na wazee, na mikutano mingi ilirekebisha utamaduni wao wa uzee wa kiroho kutoka mikutano ya mahubiri na wazee kuwa kamati za ibada na huduma. Kwa nadharia, tulihamisha utunzaji wa ibada na huduma katika kamati hizi mpya, lakini kwa kweli, tulihamisha tu utunzaji wa ibada na kuacha huduma. Hii iliruhusu msaada wowote wa kuendeleza na usimamizi wa huduma ya maneno kuyeyuka. Tumekuwa tukifikiri zaidi huduma ya kusema kama jambo la mara kwa mara linalotokea wakati huo badala ya kama wito ambao unaweza kudumu muda fulani na unastahili msaada endelevu. Hatuangalii tena Marafiki wanaoanza kusema mara nyingi zaidi ya mara chache tu, au wanaosema kwa kina kinachoongozwa na Roho, ili kusaidia wito wao unaoendelea. <\/p>\n\n

Wakati huo huo, kadiri wasiwasi wetu kuhusu masuala mbalimbali ya kijamii ulivyokua, tumekuwa tukitambua zaidi aina za huduma mbali na huduma ya maneno. Lakini wanachama mara nyingi hawafikirii wito wao wa amani au utunzaji wa dunia, au chochote kile, kama huduma za kidini wanazoweza kuzipeleka kwenye mikutano yao kwa msaada. Mikutano inaweza kuwa na kamati za amani na masuala ya kijamii, lakini kamati kama hizo haziwajibikiwi kawaida kusaidia wanachama wao kutambua wito wao wa kushuhudia. Hatufikirii lazima huduma kwenye kamati hizi kama huduma. Wala kamati za ibada na huduma za mikutano yetu mara nyingi hazijui jinsi ya kusaidia maongozi ya wanachama wao, au hata kwa nini wanapaswa. <\/p>\n\n

Nimepitia hili mwenyewe. Nilikuwa mkali dhidi ya Ukristo na Biblia nilipokuwa Quaker, na kisha mnamo 1990, nilihisi kuongozwa kuandika kitabu cha utunzaji wa dunia wa Kikristo kulingana na Biblia. Nilijua nilihitaji usimamizi: niliogopa uadui wangu ungeweza kuathiri uaminifu wangu, kwa hivyo nilienda kwenye mkutano wangu kwa msaada. Mwanzoni, hawakuelewa nilichokuwa nikisema. Baada ya mkutano wa pili na kamati ya huduma na ushauri, walielewa haja yangu kidogo, lakini bado hawakuelewa jinsi wangeweza kusaidia. Niliishia kufuata ongozi bila msaada wa mkutano wangu, na nilienda miongo zaidi bila msaada kwa maongozi na huduma zaidi. <\/p>\n\n

Mikutano mingapi yetu ina taarifa nzuri kuhusu imani na mazoea ya huduma ya Quaker? Wanachama na wahudhuria wangapi wanasikiliza wito wa Roho kwa huduma? Wangapi wanauona kama kipengele muhimu cha maisha yao ya kiroho? Wangapi wangekuja kwenye mkutano wao na ongozi kama wangekuwa nao? Mkutano wao ungejibu vipi kama wangefanya hivyo? <\/p>\n\n

Ili kulisha mahubiri yetu ya maneno\u2014wawe wanahisi wana wito au la\u2014mkutano unahitaji Marafiki ambao watatambua mtu anapozungumza zaidi ya mara chache katika ibada au kwa kina na utunzaji wa kipekee. Unahitaji Marafiki wanaohisi wana uwezo wa kumkaribia mhubiri kama huyo anayeibuka na kuwa na mazungumzo kuhusu huduma yao inamaanisha nini kwao. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Huduma ya Quaker inafanya kazi katika awamu tatu, na kila moja inahitaji umakini na msaada wa kuendeleza. Awamu hizi tatu ni zifuatazo: (1) kutambua ongozi, (2) kutambua ongozi, na (3) kufuata huduma mara tu Rafiki anapokuwa na uwazi kuhusu njia ya huduma. <\/p>\n\n

Awamu ya kwanza, kutambua mwongozo na wito wa huduma, inahitaji elimu ya kidini iliyolengwa na uchunguzi kwa watu wazima na vijana: programu zinazochunguza kile Patricia Loring anachoita ”kiroho cha kusikiliza” katika kitabu chake chenye jina hilo, kiroho ambacho ni msingi wa huduma ya aina zote. Mikutano inahitaji programu zinazoshughulikia historia, imani, mazoezi, na uzoefu wa huduma ya Waquaker katika maumbo yake ya jadi, ili Marafiki wajue wanachokisikiliza. Programu hizi huwapa wahudhumu wetu fursa za kushiriki uzoefu wao. Na programu zinazochunguza aina ya utamaduni wa uongozi wa kiroho ambao Mkutano wetu unataka pia zingekuwa na thamani. Kwa chini kabisa, kamati za ibada na huduma zinapaswa kujifundisha imani na mazoezi ya huduma ya Waquaker na kuzingatia jinsi ya kukuza huduma katika Mkutano kwa makini zaidi. <\/p>\n\n

Kutambua maongozi, awamu ya pili, inahitaji utayari katika mkutano kufanya kamati za uwazi kwa utambuzi. Hapa, kipeperushi cha Patricia Loring cha 1992 cha Pendle Hill, Spiritual Discernment: The Context and Goal of Clearness Committees<\/em>, ni rasilimali ya thamani kubwa. <\/p>\n\n

Awamu ya tatu, kuunga mkono vipaji vya kiroho, mwongozo, na huduma, inahitaji utamaduni imara wa uongozi wa kiroho. ”Miundombinu” hii inahitaji Marafiki wenye uzoefu na michakato iliyo wazi, tayari, na yenye taarifa. Inahitaji wanachama katika Mkutano ambao wanazingatia mahitaji ya kiroho ya wanachama na wahudhiria, kama vile kamati zetu za huduma ya wachungaji zinavyoweka masikio yao kwa aina nyingine za mahitaji. Inafaidika kutokana na kuwa wamefikiria mapema kuhusu aina ya msaada ambao wanachama wanaweza kutoa. <\/p>\n\n

Wakati bora wa kuzungumzia kulisha huduma na wanachama wetu ni katika kamati zao za uwazi kwa uanachama. Katika kamati za uwazi tunapaswa kuchunguza tabia ya uroho wa kusikiliza na huduma ya Quaker, kuanza mchakato wa kutambua vipaji vya kiroho na masuala ya wanachama watarajiwa, na kuchunguza shughuli katika maisha yao ambazo zinaweza kuwa msingi wa huduma. <\/p>\n\n

Kuhusu huduma ya maneno, mengi yameandikwa kuhusu jinsi ya kutambua, kutambua, na kujibu msukumo wa mara moja wa kuzungumza katika mkutano wa ibada. Lakini kwa mwongozo wa jinsi ya kutambua, kutambua, na kujibu wito endelevu wa huduma ya maneno, kama tulivyopata siku za zamani, lazima urudi nyuma. A Description of the Qualifications Necessary to a Gospel Minister<\/em> ya Samuel Bownas kutoka 1750 ni rasilimali ya kawaida ya Quaker. <\/p>\n\n

Ili kulisha mahubiri yetu ya maneno\u2014wawe wanahisi wana wito au la\u2014mkutano unahitaji Marafiki ambao watatambua mtu anapozungumza zaidi ya mara chache katika ibada au kwa kina na utunzaji wa kipekee. Unahitaji Marafiki wanaohisi wana uwezo wa kumkaribia mhubiri kama huyo anayeibuka na kuwa na mazungumzo kuhusu huduma yao inamaanisha nini kwao. Kwa maana huduma ya maneno ni shule na maabara ya Roho kwa mahubiri wanaoibuka. Ni kupitia huduma yetu ya maneno tunaweza kujifunza jinsi ya kusikiliza sauti ya Roho inayotuita kwa huduma na kupitia hiyo tunafanya mazoezi ya kutambua kama sauti hiyo inatoka kwa Roho au kutoka chanzo kingine. Na ni katika huduma yetu ya maneno tunafanya mazoezi ya kubaki kwenye njia tunapohudumu. <\/p>\n\n

Hapa kuna maswali ya kujitafakari. Ukidhani kamati yako ya ibada na huduma inaangalia mtu anapoonekana kuwa na kipaji cha huduma ya maneno, mnajadili jinsi mnavyoweza kulisha kipaji chao? Je, kamati yako au mkutano unaamini kwamba Marafiki wengine wanaweza kuhisi wito wa huduma ya maneno: mtiririko fulani endelevu wa mwendo wa unabii ndani yao? Je, kamati yako na mkutano wako wangejisikia vizuri kumkaribia mhubiri wa maneno anayeibuka kuona kama wanahisi wito kama huo, wangependa kuimarisha huduma yao, au kuzungumza tu kuhusu hilo? Na kama Rafiki huyu angekaribishwa na mazungumzo kama hayo, mngekuwa tayari kuwasaidia kwa njia zozote wanazoweza kutaka? <\/p>\n\n

Kumpa mhubiri msaada ni moja ya vipaji vikubwa vya kiroho mkutano unaweza kumpa Rafiki. Msaada huu unaenea kurudi kwenye mkutano. Unaitajirisha maisha ya kiroho ya wale wanaohudumu kwenye kamati za uwazi na msaada, na utajiri huu unafaidi mkutano kadiri wanachama wengi zaidi wanavyozunguka kuingia na kutoka kwenye majukumu haya ya uzee wa kiroho. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Bila shaka, baadhi ya Marafiki karibu kamwe hawazungumzi katika Mkutano wa ibada. Lakini bado wanaweza kuhisi kuongozwa katika huduma ya Mungu kwa njia nyingine. (Kwa ”Mungu,” ninamaanisha Ukweli wa Siri nyuma ya uzoefu wetu wa kidini: uzoefu huo uwe wowote na tuuitewe vipi.) <\/p>\n\n

Hivyo, kuhusu aina nyingine za huduma, mkutano unahitaji Marafiki ambao wataangalia mtu anapoweza kuwa amefanya huduma fulani inayoongozwa na Roho, ama katika mkutano au duniani. Kisha mkutano unahitaji kujua la kufanya baadaye. Majukumu haya yangeangukia kwa kawaida kwenye kamati zetu za ibada na huduma. <\/p>\n\n

Je, kamati yako ya ibada na huduma inajua jinsi ya kufanya kamati ya uwazi kwa kutambua ongozi? Mnajua jinsi ya kuandika dakika ya safari au huduma, au jinsi ya kuita na kusimamia kamati ya msaada wa kiroho kwa mtu aliyeitwa? (Shule ya Roho ina rasilimali bora kwa aina hii ya kulisha; vivyo hivyo Quaker Incubator for Public Ministry.) Kama mkutano wako wa kila mwaka bado unaandika vipaji katika huduma, je, mnafahamu mchakato? <\/p>\n\n

Na je, Mkutano wako upo tayari? Je, Mkutano unafurahia utamaduni wa uongozi wa kiroho ambao wanachama wanajua vya kutosha kuhusu imani na mazoezi ya huduma ya Waquaker ili kuunga mkono kazi ya kamati na kuunga mkono huduma ambazo Roho Mtakatifu wa Kristo anainua miongoni mwenu? (Kwa Roho Mtakatifu wa Kristo, ninamaanisha Roho ambayo ilimtia mafuta\u2014”kumfanya Kristo”\u2014Yesu kwa ajili ya huduma yake, kama ilivyoelezwa katika Luka 4.) Je, wanachama ambao wanahisi kuitiwa na Roho Mtakatifu katika huduma fulani wangejisikia kutiririka kuja kwa Mkutano na wasiwasi wao, na je, wangejua ni nani wa kumwendea? Je, Mkutano wako ungekuwepo wakati huo? Je, kamati yako ya ibada na huduma ina msaada wa Mkutano kwa umakini wa kuanzisha kuhusu huduma, ya maneno na vinginevyo, au ungekabiliwa na upinzani fulani? <\/p>\n\n

Mara nyingi nimeona Marafiki na mikutano kupinga aina hii ya mawazo na msaada. Marty Grundy anashughulikia wasiwasi huu katika kipeperushi chake cha 1999 cha Pendle Hill Tall Poppies<\/em>. Kwa mfano, nimesikia Marafiki wakisema kwamba sisi sote ni mahubiri, kwa hivyo kumtenga mtu ni kinyume na Quaker. Lakini kama sisi sote ni mahubiri, basi sisi sote tunastahili msaada wa mkutano katika huduma yoyote tuliyoitiwa. Lakini kweli, sisi sote si mahubiri; sisi sote ni mahubiri watarajiwa. Yeyote kati yetu anaweza kuitwa, na labda ataitwa, kwenye huduma wakati wowote. Lakini tunakuwa mahubiri tu tunaposikia wito wa huduma kutoka kwa Roho wa Kristo, na tunajibu, kama Yesu alivyofanya. Ingawa bila shaka tunajitahidi kuwa watumishi wa Ukweli na Upendo wa Kimungu wakati wote na katika hali zote. <\/p>\n\n

Pia nimesikia Marafiki wakisema kumtenga mtu binafsi kunavunja ushuhuda wa usawa. Inaweka mtu huyo juu ya wengine wetu, na inaweza kumvimba mtu huyo; mtu yeyote anaweza kukaa kwenye kiti cha mbele siku hizi. Lakini mahubiri wetu wanatuhitaji. Hatupaswi kuwaacha bila msaada wanaostahili. Zaidi ya hayo, ninajua kutokana na uzoefu kwamba kumpa mhubiri msaada ni moja ya vipaji vikubwa vya kiroho mkutano unaweza kumpa Rafiki. Kwa nini tungewakatalia baraka kama hiyo? Msaada huu unaenea kurudi kwenye mkutano. Unaitajirisha maisha ya kiroho ya wale wanaohudumu kwenye kamati za uwazi na msaada, na utajiri huu unafaidi mkutano kadiri wanachama wengi zaidi wanavyozunguka kuingia na kutoka kwenye majukumu ya uzee wa kiroho. <\/p>\n\n

Kuleta mhudumu chini ya uangalizi wa Mkutano kunasaidia kuzuia jambo lile ambalo Marafiki wanaopinga aina hii ya umakini wanaonekana kuogopa. Kubeba huduma inaweza kuwa njia yenye changamoto, na wahudhumu wa kweli wanajua kwamba uangalizi wa kujali ni mzuri kwa huduma yao. Mtu anaweza, kwa kweli, ”kupita mipaka,” kama Marafiki walivyokuwa wakisema siku za zamani (niliogopa ningefanya hivyo nilipohisi mwongozo wangu wa kwanza.) Unaweza kusongana katika huduma au ”kukimbia mbele ya kiongozi wako” na kutoka mbele ya wito wako. Mhudumu wa kweli anataka mtu wa kumsaidia kumwongoza kurudi njiani ikiwa ataiacha, na Mkutano uliokua unataka mtu awe pale kumsaidia kufanya hivyo. <\/p>\n\n

Uzee wa kiroho unaoongozwa na Roho ni moja ya majukumu muhimu zaidi mkutano wa Quaker unayo: kutoa msaada kwa ujasiri na upendo kwa mahubiri wetu. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Lakini sababu muhimu zaidi ya utamaduni hai na wa kuanzisha wa uongozi wa kiroho ambao nimekuwa nikiuelezea ni kwamba Roho Mtakatifu anautaka. Hiyo ndiyo tunayoamini: kwamba kuna kitu kama huduma inayoongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu. Ikiwa ni hivyo, basi uongozi wa kiroho unaoongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu ni moja ya majukumu muhimu zaidi ambayo Mkutano wa Waquaker unayo: kutoa msaada kwa ujasiri na upendo kwa wahudhumu wetu. Kama vile Marafiki binafsi wanavyoitiwa katika huduma ya Roho Mtakatifu, Mikutano pia inaitiwa katika huduma ya Roho Mtakatifu, na baadhi ya Marafiki wanaitiwa kwa jukumu la ”mzee.” Huwezi kuwa na moja bila nyingine. <\/p>\n\n

Vizuri, kwa kweli, unaweza, kama ninavyojua kutokana na uzoefu. Lakini si bora; si kile Mungu anataka, au, kama unapendelea, si kuwa mwaminifu kwa mwendo wa Roho. Roho ile ya kutia mafuta inatukaribisha kutunza Marafiki wale walioitwa kwenye huduma, na tunapaswa kutaka hivyo pia. Tunafanya hivyo kwa kuelimisha wanachama wetu kuhusu hilo; kwa kuzingatia; na kwa kuisaidia kupitia kulisha, utambuzi, na usimamizi. Hii si kuhusu mhubiri, kweli; ni kuhusu huduma: ni kuhusu jinsi tunavyoongozwa kushuhudia upendo na ukweli kama watu binafsi, na jinsi mikutano yetu inaweza kukuza huduma hiyo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
