Avalanche Escola de Missões Urbanas Underground: trajetória histórica e proposta missiológica e diaconal

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Avalanche Escola de Missões Urbanas Underground and their educational relevance for those who are engaged with the underground Christian urban tribes and sectors of the institutional Church that wants to reach this segment of society. The identity of the School and its diaconal and missiological proposals were analyzed with the help of the theoretical framework of the counterculture, through the rise of the underground movement and linking the historical account of the School to the underground Christian movement. The theoretical references of Practical Theology, namely, Jesus Table Fellowship and Mission as Com-passion, offered the basis for the discussion of the concept of solidarity. By linking the pedagogical project of the School with the theoretical framework of the Pedagogy of Solidarity, inspired in Paulo Freire, the concept of solidarity is shown interacting with the theoretical references of the Jesus Table Fellowship and Mission as Com-passion.
