La inculturación de la iglesia en el pueblo indígena andino de la diócesis de Riobamba durante la década del 2000-2010

Abstract:

The Church of the Diocese of Riobamba, beginning in the decade of the 1960’s, made a preferential option for the poor, especially the indigenous people. To do that, it was supported by the International, Latin American and local documents of the Church. Several theologians also have oriented the rise and strengthening of an indigenous Church with a face of its own with their reflections. In the decade from 2000 until 2010, the Indigenous Pastoral Ministry has had several problems: lack of coordination between the Vicariate for Indigenous Pastoral Ministry and other pastoral ministries, volunteers and pastoral agents; less interest and support for strengthening a Church with an indigenous identity on the part of pastors in the parishes. The more volunteers have promoted sacramentalization, new pastoral agents are not interested in learning the language or understanding the indigenous spirituality, which makes it difficult to strengthen the indigenous Church.
