- Abstract
- This research is a systemic study that seeks to address how the Brazilian churches can function as therapeutic communities in the lives of first-generation Brazilian immigrants and aid in the healing process of the many socio-psychological disorders developed during the immigration process. A primary premise of this research is that ethnic churches -- in this particular case, Brazilian churches -- have the potential of greatly helping immigrants to adapt to their new environment and to counteract the stress of the immigration experience, assimilation and adaptation (introduction and chapter one). This work was developed following a systemic approach and guided by three nurturing questions that originated from Eldin Villafañe's 'hermeneutical circle of social ethics' (clarification, conceptualization and confrontation). Pastoral actions and reflections on dealing with the issues related to this study emerged from our understanding of systematic theology and the investigation of other pertinent sources (chapters two and three). The goal of the learning team and the exercise called 'hexagon process' was to look at how these Brazilian churches can develop ministries that will create positive and lasting results, and the possible scenarios where the ethnic churches can intervene (chapter four). Outcome and further researches were suggested with the intent of broadening the understanding in the field of ethnic churches and how to help post first generation immigrants (chapter five).
