O sentido da Comunidade Católica Shalom entre os carismáticos de Fortaleza

Abstract

This paper discuss the commitment and the relation of the faithful with Shalom Catholic Community pointing out its importance to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Fortaleza. Considered as ideal in weberiane sense we analyze the community as a social place of extreme importance for the rebuilding of religious identities, taking into account according to Weber the aspect of religious community action, allowing us to understand through experience the meaning of the representations and subjective intentions of the individuals. To learn the representations of the faithful in relation to the community we analyze its symbolic structure, the sense lattice in which it is basic and the people involvement, presenting the religious itinerary of the charismatic or what they call the “caminhada”, with the purpose to learn at least partially, its meaning.
