Pozycja Przynależność do parafii ‒ wspólnoty miłości w nauczaniu Kościoła współczesnego w PolsceKamiński, Ryszard (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 1985)The parish is a local community of the people of God which is vertically and horizontally united with Christ and which forms a community of faith, worship and love. Participation in the life of the parish takes three forms: proclaiming the word of God (community of faith), liturgy (community of worship) and the witness of charity and ministry (community of love). All these spheres of parish life are interconnected and all contribute to the building of the parish community. It is important for these various functions to be performed by as many parishioners as possible and in a collegial manner that nourishes a sense of unity even though each participant preserves his individual role. Because the situation varies from parish to parish, it is impossible to follow a single model, but in all cases efforts should be made to implement the idea o the parish as a community of communities. The credibility of the parish depends not merely on the way in which it discharges its basic duties of instruction and worship but above all on a brotherly approach to the problems or human existence. Love is the confirmation of the authenticity of faith and worship in both individual people and the parish as a whole. The parish fully realizes itself if it is a true brotherly community, always ready to render self-sacrificing love as well as the ministry of the Word, the Sacraments and worship. Only a community filled with the spirit of love can correspond to the image of the Church that has emerged from Vatican II. The general teaching of the Church as presented here lays down only the broadest lines for the functioning of the parish brotherly community and for participation in it. But the teaching of the Church in Poland, while based on the guidelines of the Council and sometimes merely reproducing them, contains more specific indications appropriate to the Polish situation. Our analysis has shown that there is still much to be done before the parish becomes a true community of love. Parishes, especially large ones, are often anonymous bodies that do not make human contact any easier; yet such contact is an indispensable condition for the growth of the parish community of love. To remedy the situation it is necessary to modify the parish structures, the organization of pastoral work and perhaps even the strategy of the Church.Pozycja Teologia pastoralna w okresie posoborowym (1965‒1982)Kamiński, Ryszard (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 1983)The pastoral theology of the postconciliar period has been influenced by change in the Church itself, transformations in the world, and in particular by changes in the mentality and interests of contemporary people, which do not always favour the growth of religiousness. All this indicates not only that contemporary Church carries out its mission under increasingly difficult conditions, but also that the present situation requires a search for an adequate conception of pastoral theology. During the postconciliar period pastoral theology has been understood in a variety of ways. Discussions about its conceptions are still continuing. There are different approaches to its subject matter, solutions and methods of investigation. There are several possible ways to classity the work of postconciliar pastoral theologians. This article adopts a division into three distinct currents. One is the ecclesiological trend, initiated during the council by the authors of the German „Handbuch der Pastoraltheologie” and continued by F. Klostermann (the community principle), H. Schuster (the problem of Jesus), J. Goldbrunner (the principle of Incarnation), C. Floristan, M. Useros and M. van Caster (interpretation of experience). The second current of pastoral theology regards the discipline as dealing with the activity of the Church. This approach is due to S. Hiltner and its continuators are R. Zerfass and M. Levebre. The various postconciliar conceptions of pastoral theology have some features in common. They agree in viewing pastoral theology as a separate theological discipline, with its own subject matter and methods. Pastoral theology takes the essence of the Church as its starting point and aims not only at analyzing the activities of the Church but also at improving them. Pastoral theological reflection is interdisciplinary. It is based on a dialogue with other theological disciplines and those of the humanities which deal with human activity. The humanistic disciplines often invoked are: anthropology, psychology, sociology, language science, science of the media, praxeology, cybernetics and futurology. Some of these are useful in the analysis of the situation, some in the planning phase and some in the developing of strategies for Church action. Pastoral theology makes use of the results of these disciplines interpreting them theologically.
