Opis
The personage of Charles de Foucauld is well known as an eremite, master of spiritual life. One does not see in him a missionary, though most of his after conversion he spent in Sahara, among Moslems, wishing to bring them closer to Christ. The goal of this article is to show, that his activity in Sahara was a misionary one, although not m common meaning of this word. His evangelisation activity can be called: ’’evangelisation dialogue”. One can distinguish three elements of this dialogue. The first were his attempts to bring saharian (Touareg and Arab) population and French soldiers closer. Personal relationships and scientific work on Touareg language and culture, were necessary to secure this object. The second element was a various co-operation: on the field of economics and social problems and in the field of morality and religion, where he acted as father-confessor of Moussaag-Amastan, the amenokal of Touaregs Kel Ahaggar. The fulfillment of this dialogue was his being witness of Christian faith. His fervour in prayer and his frank devotion to others has given him both among Christians and Moslems the reputation of holiness. The dialogue as a principle of his missionary work and some others virtues of this work allow to name his activity precursory to the catholic teachings on mission formulated at the Second Vatican Council. In the end of this article its author discusses the problem of Charles de Foucauld connections with the representatives of French colonial (power and rejects as unhistorical the accusations against him expressed therefore.
