    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).

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

    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.

    The Life of an Anglican Bishop, Lawrence Bekisisa Zulu (1937-2013+) Henry Mbaya Department of Missiology, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, South Africa

    Ungusobaba1 [you are our father]: the life of an Anglican bishop, Lawrence Bekisisa Zulu (1937-2013+) Henry Mbaya Department of Missiology, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, South Africa Abstract This study seeks to document the role that Lawrence Bekisisa Zulu played in the Anglican Church in South Africa (ACSA), particularly in the dioceses of Zululand and Swaziland, as a bishop. It records the life story of Zulu as a leader whose gifts as a pastor, teacher and priest enriched the lives of many clergy and lay people. That Zulu was entrusted with leadership positions in three dioceses, also suggests the strength of his moral authority and spirituality. The study demonstrates how the context of colonialism and apartheid shaped Zulu’s approach to the issues of poverty and human dignity. Zulu’s contribution is evident especially in the manner in which he as a community leader tried to enhance social development by fostering the spirit of self-reliance through his pastoral ministry, consequently striving to assert the dignity of humanity. Introduction In this article, I will highlight the contribution of Lawrence Bekisisa Zulu, who in 1975 followed Alpheus Zulu to become the second black bishop in the Anglican Diocese of Zululand, and later Bishop of Swaziland in 1993 and then from 2001 to 2005 a caretaker bishop (Vicar General) of Mpumalanga diocese. To do this, I will address the question: What special contribution did Zulu make to the life of the Anglican Church in Southern Africa (ACSA), particularly in Zululand and Swaziland? In response to this question, I will illustrate how his personal life and ministry of 45 years tried to transform the religious and social aspects of the lives of the people in the rural communities of KwaZulu-Natal and Swaziland.
