This story in its way defines the best hopes of every Christian, for we have all heard the world address the same demand to us; sometimes shamefacedly, sometimes bluntly, sometimes subtly but always insistently, the world keeps saying: speak to me of God, do for me as Christ would. This then should be our deeply cherished hope: that we should respond as beautifully, as dramatically as did the almond tree. That is to say, we must project our life as a pursuit of excellence so that the sheer strength and beauty of our life and work, our achievements, credit:Image www.allartclassic.com our thought and speech will speak loudly and clearly to the world of God. From Reflections ...path to prayer by Fr James Turro 3 The Franciscan Diminutive church Canon brings big heart to ministry In response to requests to know more about the folk who play leading roles at St Francis, The Franciscan will run a series of articles on our priests, church wardens and other office bearers in coming issues. Our first article, written by Theo Coggin, tells us about the person who has been a bastion of strength in the parish since our rector left us at the end of November last year.

    Engaging the Fertile Silence: Towards a Culturally sensitive Model for dealing with the HIV and AIDS Silence. By Benson Okyere-Manu Supervisor: Prof. Steve De Gruchy Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal VOLUME 1 Main Thesis November 2009 Pietermaritzburg DECLARATION I declare that this thesis, unless specifically indicated in the text, is my own original work which has not been submitted in any other University. ________________________ ________________ Benson Okyere-Manu Date University of KwaZulu-Natal 2009 i ABSTRACT This thesis critically examines one of the major hindrances to dealing adequately with the HIV and AIDS problem facing Africa – the issue of silence. The study has examined the hypothesis that there are cultural factors underlying the silence that surrounds the disease, which when investigated and identified, will provide cues for breaking the silence and a way forward for dealing with the HIV and AIDS epidemic. The study utilises the concept of ‘cultural context’ proposed by Hall and ‘dimensions of culture’ postulated by Hofstede, to investigate the cultural reasons behind the HIV and AIDS silence among the Zulu people in and around Pietermaritzburg in the Kwazulu Natal province of South Africa. Testing these theories in the field with participants in a community-based HIV and AIDS Project called the Community Care Project (CCP) the study found that cultural contexts strongly influence silence around HIV and AIDS. In terms of dimensions of culture, the area was found to exhibit high power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, high collectivism and is feminine in nature in terms of assertiveness, but having high gender inequality (high masculinity in terms of gender egalitarianism).

  • The Beginnings of Anglican Theological Education in South Africa, 1848–1963

As late as 1883 half of the Anglican priests in South Africa had never attended a theological college. The system of theological education which developed afterwards became increasingly segregated. It also became more centralised, in a different manner for each race. A central theological college for white ordinands was established in Grahamstown in 1898 while seven diocesan theological colleges were opened for blacks during the same period. These were reduced to two in the 1930s, St Peter’s College in Johannesburg and St Bede’s in Umtata. The former became one of the constituent colleges of the Federal Theological Seminary in Alice, Eastern Cape, in 1963. n 1963 the Federal Theological Seminary of Southern Africa, an ecumenical seminary jointly established by the Anglican, Methodist, I Presbyterian and Congregational churches, opened in Alice, Eastern Cape. A thorn in the flesh of the apartheid regime, Fedsem, as the seminary was commonly called, trained theological students of all races, even whites at a later stage of its history, in an atmosphere

The quotation T above is a statement made by the South African Council of Churches following the announcement that the Anglican Church in Southern Africa voted in favour of the ordination of women at the church’s September, 1992 Provincial Synod.3 This was a newsworthy event given the currents of change and rhetoric of freedom in apartheid South Africa.4 Under the heading “Women priests for SA” the Cape Times (August 15, 1992:2) reports that seventy-nine percent voted in favour of the ordination of women.

  • From England to Under African Skies: the Quest for an African Anglican Liturgical Voice
    ARTICLE FROM ENGLAND TO UNDER AFRICAN SKIES: THE QUEST FOR AN AFRICAN ANGLICAN LITURGICAL VOICE Peter Carleton Houston1 Stellenbosch University [email protected] Andrew Kruger2 [email protected] ABSTRACT The prayer book of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa is currently being revised. The slogan “Under Southern Skies—In an African voice” is the rallying cry of this liturgical consultative process. It captures one of the core purposes of the revision project, namely to root Anglican liturgy in the context of Southern Africa. But this is not a new impetus. The previous revision of the prayer book, 1989 Anglican Prayer Book, sought a similar objective and hoped for the continuing development of indigenous liturgy. This hope has a long history. The Anglican Church, formed in England in the midst of the Reformation, engaged significantly with the vernacular moment, crafting liturgy in English rather than Latin. The church also sought to hold together a diversity of theological voices in order to create a via media or middle road. This paper explores the liturgical turning point of the Reformation and the later expansion of colonial and theological tensions that have shaped and have been expressed through the history of the Anglican prayer book in Southern Africa. The authors conclude that giving substance to indigenous voices and finding theological middle ground remains important in the revision process to this day. Keywords: Reformation; revision; language; via media; Anglican; prayer book 1 Peter Houston is the Rector of the Parish of Kloof, Canon Theologian of the Diocese of Natal and a Research Associate of the University of Stellenbosch.
