Resumo
A Faculdade de Teologia/UMESP surge do anseio da Igreja Metodista em formar pastores no final do século XIX. Fundamentada nas premissas educacionais da origem do metodismo wesleyano, que aliava a fé ao exercício da cidadania, e ampliada a partir do tripé devoção-educação-ação social, a educação teológica se desenvolveu a fim de que pastores pudessem realizar suas funções de maneira a cumprir, também, um importante papel social. Essa característica se aprofundou ainda mais com o crescimento da Faculdade de Teologia, em termos numéricos e de conceito, como também a partir do reconhecimento do curso pelo MEC. Nesta esteira, surge um Curso Teológico que extrapola sua proposta inicial tornando-se um importante centro de formação de pessoas que atuam tanto no ministério pastoral, como na área de promoção humana, e que tem um crescimento expressivo quando é integrado aos demais cursos da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo e passa a ser oferecido na modalidade a distância. Assim sendo, esta pesquisa trabalha os primórdios da educação metodista, bem como o surgimento da Faculdade de Teologia, da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo e do Curso de Teologia/EAD, tendo como aporte metodológico a Pesquisa Narrativa com vias de interpretação em Paul Ricouer. Neste sentido, a pesquisa se vale do recurso da pesquisa narrativa para estudar a tríade relatos-memórias-depoimentos. Esta se refere aos relatos da pesquisadora, à memória de egressos do Curso de Teologia/EAD e aos depoimentos de ex-docentes da Faculdade de Teologia. Tais narrativas constituem-se a base para a resposta da seguinte questão: Quais os marcos do texto Faculdade de Teologia e como esse texto foi lido, relido e como afetou discentes da EAD e docentes ao longo do tempo? Essa pergunta visa responder aos seguintes objetivos: discorrer sobre como o fazer Teologia na modalidade a distância, no Curso de Teologia/EAD, implicou no alcance de uma experiência de si e do outro na construção de um universo simbólico que abarque a vivência do cotidiano, no período de formação e no momento seguinte à ele; descrever como os egressos avaliam e narram suas experiências, assim como expõem o seu olhar durante e após o curso e como essa narrativa permanece na construção do cotidiano de cada um. De igual modo, também visibiliza as narrativas de ex-docentes e da pesquisadora sobre a Faculdade de Teologia, e como esse texto é lido em perspectivas diferentes, em consonância com a pesquisa narrativa e a hermenêutica ricoueriana, a partir da tríplice mimesis.
The Faculty of Theology/UMESP arises from the Methodist Church's desire to train pastors in the late 19th century. Grounded in the educational principles of the Wesleyan methodism origin, which combined faith with the exercise of citizenship, and expanded from the tripod of devotion-education-action, theological education developed so that pastors could fulfill their functions in a way that also played a significant role in society. This characteristic deepened even further with the growth of the Faculty of Theology, both in numerical and conceptual terms, as well as with the recognition of the course by the Ministry of Education (MEC). In this context, a Theological Course emerges that exceeds its initial proposal, becoming an important center for training individuals to work in both pastoral ministry and the field of human promotion. Its significance becomes even more pronounced when integrated with other courses at the Methodist University of São Paulo and is offered in a distance learning mode. Therefore, this research delves into the beginnings of Methodist education, as well as the emergence of the Faculty of Theology at the Methodist University of São Paulo and the Theology/EAD Course, using Narrative Inquiry with interpretative pathways inspired by Paul Ricouer. In this sense, the research employs the narrative inquiry approach to study the triad of reports-memories-testimonies. This refers to the researcher's accounts, the memories of graduates of the Theology/EAD Course, and the testimonials of former teachers at the Faculty of Theology. These specific narratives form the basis for addressing the following question: What are the landmarks of the text "Faculty of Theology," and how was this text read, reread, and how did it affect EAD students and teachers over time? This question aims to address the following objectives: discuss how practicing Theology in the distance learning mode, in the Theology/EAD Course, involved reaching an experience of oneself and others in the construction of a symbolic universe that encompasses daily life, during the training period, and in the subsequent moment; describe how graduates evaluate and narrate their experiences, as well as express their perspective during and after the course, and how this narrative persists in the construction of each individual's daily life. Similarly, narratives of former teachers and the researcher about the Faculty of Theology are also give visibility and how this text is read from different perspectives, in line with narrative inquiry and ricouerian hermeneutics, based on triple mimesis.
