This research aims to approach the protestant and catholic christian speeches related to LGBTQIA+ christian people pastoral care and counseling, based on their official announcements and documents. For that happened, it had been necessary to study the theological locus of theology, religion, theological hermeneutic, Bible and its inspiration and translation, christian tradition, christian church and the concept of truth as the environment that interfere into those speeches. We have observed that at the brazilian context of christian church, the LGBTQIA+ christian people are not included in their integrality and dignity, based on their speeches. Nonetheless, it is possible to see inclusion of those people at some pastoral care practices at brazilian context of christian churches, based on the attitude of embrace the pastoral spirituality model as care concept offered by Jesus Christ at the “The Road of Emmaus”, as a path of spiritual growth that live the gospel tenderness and the Christ ethic to achieve its mission to be God’s kingdom sign. 118 p. 2025-01-15T00:00:00Z http://dspace.est.edu.br:8080/jspui/handle/BR-SlFE/1252 O direito ao exercício da espiritualidade como concretização do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana através do compliance jurídico The objective of this study was to investigate how spirituality can be integrated into ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance) within legal compliance programs, focusing on the realization of personality rights and the strengthening of the principle of human dignity. Using an interdisciplinary approach connecting Theology, Law, and Organizational Management, the study analyzed the practical and theoretical impacts of this integration on corporate environments and governance. The research highlighted that spirituality transcends religiosity and acts as an essential dimension for humanizing organizational relationships. It provides a counterpoint to the dehumanization often present in contemporary corporate practices, fostering a more inclusive, ethical, and collaborative work environment. Additionally, the role of spirituality in expanding the concept of human dignity was emphasized, encompassing not only material aspects but also the subjective and spiritual dimensions of the individual. The study presented the benefits of spiritualized leadership, which strengthens trust and cooperation within teams, contributing to the personal and professional development of employees. It also pointed out the challenges related to implementing spiritualized practices, such as respecting cultural and religious diversity, alongside the need for leadership training and the creation of inclusive policies. As a result, it was found that integrating spirituality into legal compliance programs and ESG criteria not only promotes more ethical and sustainable corporate governance but also reaffirms the centrality of the human being in organizational practices. This approach transforms the corporate environment, aligning efficiency with dignity, and offers a management model committed to human values and social justice. 157 р. 2025-01-15T00:00:00Z http://dspace.est.edu.br:8080/jspui/handle/BR-SlFE/1251 “Do templo à rede: o descolamento das práticas religiosas do físico para o virtual no caso Jesus.Net” This study aimed to investigate the replacement of in-person religious practices with online ones, particularly in the context of Jesus.net, during the pandemic period and the mediatization process of Christian churches. Adopting a qualitative and exploratory approach, the research used techniques such as bibliographical research and records for data collection. The analysis began by addressing the migration from in-person to digital worship, focusing on the biblical passage of Mt 18.20 and exploring the equivalence of online meetings with congregations. Under the influence of the pandemic and the digital age, the role of social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, in everyday life and the impact on the dissemination of faith and the study of the Bible was examined. The study highlighted the relevance of "mediatization" in the transition from the physical to the virtual environment, using Jesus.net. The question was whether digital discipleship can effectively replace in-person evangelization, with an emphasis on how institutions and individuals adopt digital approaches to discipleship. Based on Revelation 1.7, it was suggested that the internet could contribute to the fulfillment of biblical prophecies, emphasizing "mediatization" as a key to realizing the "go" of Mark 16.15. The hypotheses raised aimed to optimize the reach of the gospel, including teaching the use of social networks during discipleship and encouraging Christians to see their social networks as an extension of the ministry. 97 p. 2024-09-24T00:00:00Z http://dspace.est.edu.br:8080/jspui/handle/BR-SlFE/1250 Transformando ambientes e moldando um mundo mais justo: uma análise ecofeminista da práxis teológica e do empoderamento feminino na cooperativa de trabalho mundo mais limpo This research investigates the profound interconnection between ecofeminism, theology, and the search for socio-environmental justice. The study is set in the context of the contemporary civilizational crisis, characterized by an unprecedented ecological crisis and the persistence of profound social inequalities. In this scenario, ecofeminism emerges as a robust theoretical and political perspective, capable of articulating criticism of the domination of nature with criticism of the patriarchal structures that subjugate women, proposing a new paradigm based on care, relationality, and the sustainability of life. The guiding question is: to what extent can action research with a formative proposal based on ecofeminist theology help women from the Mundo Mais Limpo Work Cooperative, located in São Leopoldo/RS, to identify the violence they suffer and develop strategies to confront it in order to achieve gender justice and promote changes in society? The investigation is based on the assumption that the oppression of women and the exploitation of nature are interconnected manifestations of a patriarchal and anthropocentric system. The theoretical framework of the research is built on the articulation between feminist theology, ecological theology, and ecofeminist theology. Feminism and feminist theology are used to unveil patriarchal structures, gender violence, and female subordination in society and in the religious sphere. Ecological theology criticizes the anthropocentric paradigm and the instrumentalization of nature, proposing a spirituality that restores care and relationality with the Earth. Ecofeminism and ecofeminist theology emerge as the theoretical framework that radically connects these two fronts of struggle. It posits that the domination of women and the exploitation of nature have common ideological and structural roots, advocating a plural and contextual epistemology that values the interdependence of all living beings. This perspective proposes a social reorganization based on the sustainability of community life, where care is restored as a fundamental element for an economy at the service of life. The methodology adopted is action research, consistent with the ecofeminist framework. As part of the process, a training proposal entitled “down-to-earth ecofeminism” was designed and implemented, aiming to root ecofeminist concepts in women's daily practices. The research confirmed the power of ecofeminism as an analytical lens and political tool, demonstrating that the cooperative is a living microorganism of ecofeminist transformation in action. However, the study highlighted contradictions and challenges such as the internalization of guilt, the normalization of self-neglect in health, the difficulty in questioning patriarchal religious interpretations, and the subtle reproduction of hierarchies, even in a horizontal cooperative space. This dissertation demonstrates that ecofeminist theology, far from being an abstract theory, is a vital tool for interpreting and strengthening the struggles of women who, with their feet firmly planted in their reality, are already building, with sweat, soap, and solidarity, the seeds of a more equitable future. Care for the Earth and care for others thus prove to be the thread that leads to integral liberation and the construction of a world where all voices and forms of life are, in fact, respected and volued. 122 p. 2025-11-03T00:00:00Z
