    ART S.5 HOLIDAY WORK PROJECT WORK Make a study of the landscape around your home. S5 CRE 3 HW DR. JOHANN LUDWIG KRAPF Johann Ludwig Krapf (1810 - 1881) was a German missionary in East Africa, as well as an explorer, linguist, and traveler. Krapf played an important role in exploring East Africa with Johannes Rebmann. They were the first Europeans to see Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro. Krapf also played a key role in exploring the East African coastline. EARLY LIFE Krapf was born into a Lutheran family of farmers in southwest Germany. From his school days onward he developed his gift for languages. He initially studied Latin, Greek, French and Italian. More languages were to follow throughout his life. After finishing school he joined the Base! Mission Seminary at age 17 but discontinued his studies as he had doubts about his missionary vocation. He read theology and graduated in 1834. While working as an assistant village pastor, he met a Basel missionary who encouraged him to resume his missionary vocation. In 1836 he was invited by the Anglican Church Missionary Society (CMS) to join their work in Ethiopia. Basel Mission seconded him to the Anglicans and from 1837- 1842 he worked in this ancient Christian land. Krapf later left Ethiopia and centered his interest on the Oromo - the Galla, people of southern Ethiopia who then were largely traditional believers. He learned their language and started translating parts of the New Testament into it. While 1842 saw Krapf receive a doctorate from Tubingen University for his research into the Ethiopian languages, it also witnessed the expulsion of all Western missionaries from Ethiopia, which ended his work there.

  • Protestant Ecumenism
    Protestant Ecumenism Jerome Farley, O.P. Although there have not altogether been wanting from the Protes­ tant churches since the time of the Reformation sincere desires and attempts to bring about a reunion of the Christian churches, historians of the ecumenical movement customarily regard it as properly a de­ velopment of the twentieth century. The pietist "Revival" of the preceding century may however be considered as having had a cer- 156 Dominicana tain ecumenical character, and as having prepared the way for the present-day movement. The influence of the "Revival" was re­ sponsible for the formation of such interdenominational organizations as the Universal Evangelical Alliance in 1847, the Y.M.C.A. in 1878, the Y.W.C.A. in 1898 and the World Student Christian's Association in 1895. The 1910 World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh marks the beginning of the Protestant ecumenical movement. This setting was a most appropriate one for the start of the movement, for much of the impulse for the ecumenical movement has come from the mission of the churches. During the course of the Edinburgh meet­ ing it was emphasized how great was the obstacle to the spread of the Gospel in mission land occasioned by the divisions so con­ spicuous in Christianity. Among other achievements of the conference, the International Missionary Conference was established not long afterward as a permanent body to promote the missionary efforts of the churches and to study the various difficulties involved m the mission effort. Subsequent to the Edinburgh Conference, the formation of the Life and Work Movement constitutes the next step in the course of the ecumenical movement.

  • Biblical Translations of Early Missionaries in East and Central Africa. I. Translations Into Swahili
    ASIAN AND AFRICAN STUDIES, 15, 2006, 1, 80-89 BIBLICAL TRANSLATIONS OF EARLY MISSIONARIES IN EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICA. I. TRANSLATIONS INTO SWAHILI Viera Pawlikov A-V ilhanov A Institute of Oriental Studies, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Klemensova 19, 813 64 Bratislava, Slovakia e-mail: [email protected] Johann Ludwig Krapf, a German Lutheran in the service of the Anglican Church Missionary Society, was not only the first modem missionary in East Africa, he was a pioneer in the linguistic field and biblical translation work especially with regard to Swahili. A little later Bishop Edward Steere in Zanzibar translated into Swahili and published the New Testament and in 1891 the entire Bible. The pioneering linguistics of early missionaries, Ludwig Krapf, Bishop Steere and Father Sacleux set a high standard for a succession of Swahili experts and Steere’s Swahili Bible provided a basis for Biblical translations into other East African vernaculars. Key words: East and Central Africa, early Christian missionaries, Swahili, Bible translations. The first modem missionary who pioneered missionary work in East and Central Africa was Johann Ludwig Krapf, a German Lutheran from Württem­ berg, educated in Basel, who arrived in East Africa on 7 January 1844 in the service of the Anglican Church Missionary Society.1 Krapf joined the CMS to participate in new Protestant mission initiatives in Christian Ethiopia2 and he started his missionary career in the Tigré province in 1837. Unable to work there, he went instead to the Shoa kingdom where in 1839 he and his co-work­ ers were warmly received by the king, Sahle Selassie, only to be expelled in 1842 for political reasons.

  • A Study of the Evolution and Growth of Public Relations Practice in Kenya
    International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR) ISSN 2307-4531 (Print & Online) http://gssrr.org/index.php?journal=JournalOfBasicAndApplied --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Study of the Evolution and Growth of Public Relations Practice in Kenya Michael Ngonyoa*, Caroline Oywerb aDepartment of Corporate Communication,Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), P o box 62000 Nairobi 00 200 Kenya. bDepartment of Production, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), P.o box Nairobi 00200 Kenya. aEmail: [email protected] bEmail: [email protected] Abstract Public Relations (PR), a relatively new and emerging discipline in most developing nations, dates back to human civilization. In Kenya, the practice’s evolution is associated with Country’s communities’ cultural practices and traditions even though they practiced it unconsciously. They used traditional methods for social interaction, dialoguing and solving problems through mediators who were people of influence, repute and integrity in society. These practices enhanced mutual understanding, integration and cohesion. They learnt and honed their PR through the process of socialization. Such skills were passed on from generations to generations as the first inhabitants of the present-day Kenya were hunters – gatherers. The arrival of the Arab merchants in 2000 BC to the East African region, later the Christian Missionaries, and the actual colonization by the British, gave the communities interaction a different approach and led to the modernization of the practice of PR as it is known today. This study aimed at understanding the evolution and growth of public relations in Kenya. A telephone and in-depth face-to-face interviews were made to interview the 10 purposively selected retired practitioners who served during the Country’s transition to independence from the colonial rule.

  • Aspects of Sport and American Imperialism Gerald R
    Aspects of sport and american imperialism Gerald R. Gems North Central College Naperville, Il. USA The United States has been engaged in an imperialist venture since its early colonization by British settlers in the seventeenth century. White, Anglo-Saxon Protestants continually moved westward thereafter until they had conquered all the indigenous tribes and Mexican lands to control the North American continent. At the end of the nineteenth century the United States moved to extend its reach to global proportions with an overseas empire acquired through victory in the Spanish-American War. While religion, race, and commerce were primary factors in the United States' quest to fulfill its "Manifest Destiny," sport proved a more subtle means of inculcating American cultural values in subject populations in the Pacific and Caribbean regions. That process started in the 1820s in Hawaii when American missionaries forbade the popular recreations and gambling practices of the native residents. They housed native children in residential schools and taught them to play baseball. A similar procedure was followed to assimilate conquered Native American tribes and European immigrant groups throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The use of sport as a tool of acculturation reached its zenith in the colonial administration of the Philippines, where sport assumed a comprehensive and nationalistic role in combating the imperial ambitions of Japan in the Pacific. Throughout Asia and the Caribbean the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) endeavored to spread its religious message and the adoption of American games such as basketball and volleyball. The YMCA brought its racial segregation practices along with the American sport forms to the American colonies.

Occupying Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago in 1899, U.S. Army officials assumed sovereignty over a series of Muslim populations collectively referred to as ‘Moros.’ Beholden to pre-existing notions of Moro ungovernability, for two decades military and civilian administrators ruled the Southern Philippines separately from the Christian regions of the North. In the 1920s, Islamic areas of Mindanao and Sulu were ‘normalized’ and haphazardly assimilated into the emergent Philippine nation-state.
