Editorial [inglês]
Resumo
The thematic emphasis for this edition follows the main topic for the Wesleyan Week of 2009: the 120 years of theological formation in Brazil. We deliver onto the hands of our readers some biblical, theological, confessional, denominational and pedagogical perspectives. The articles defend the importance of the dialogue between churches and their theological education institutions, which together are challenged by our continuously and deeply transforming society. Other articles complete this last edition of 2009 and we thank all the authors for their invaluable contribution. Besides the celebration of the 120 years of Brazilian theological education, we cannot set aside the 500 years of John Calvin’s birth. May this recollection be a moment of inspiration which generates hope and faith, acting with love, for churches of reformed tradition and for all the country. These 500 years are being celebrated at the same moment as the 75 years of the Theological Declaration of Barmen, which resulted from the prophetic collaboration between Reformed, Lutheran and United Churches in the beginning of the National Socialist regime in Germany, and the 100 years of the Missionary Conference of Edinburgh, which gathered even more partners willing to seek for new paths. So we have to remember church mission, the church as a prophetic voice and the reformation of the church alongside one another. What a chance and a challenge for churches to think of their role in the world and the relation among them!Changing the issue, in 2010 our Journal Caminhando shall ingress into the world of the Open Access Journals. This will make access easier for our readers. Starting from 2010, not only the abstracts, but also entire articles will be available immediately after their publication. Among other advantages, SEER (Portuguese for OAJ)
offers a comfortable search system. Furthermore, the previous editions will be gradually integrated into the new publishing system. For authors, SEER will ensure more transparency during all the publishing process and a better indexation system which will be able to multiply the visibility of the production.This new publishing method demands a certain change of production habits. Firstly, in order to submit an article for the first time, authors will have to register into the system. After registering, they will find all the details for the publishing process and the new technical rules available. Abstracts, keywords and the texts themselves shall be posted directly into the homepage and submitted, with no personal information, to two evaluators. We calculate a six-month period between the submission of articles and the journal publication.
As it is customary with the journal, the first edition of 2010 will not have a thematic emphasis. The second edition of 2010 shall unite, preferably, articles in biblical, systematic-theological, historical and pastoral perspectives, as well as reviews that discuss about the church mission in the Brazilian context in the 21
st century.
