It is impossible to recognise the efforts of every individual who has contributed in some way, either in the past or present, to the compilation of this work. I will therefore limit myself to acknowledging the input of a select few. I must first acknowledge the humble and patient work of my promoter Professor Jacques Theron. He has been supportive throughout the entire research process whilst also giving me the time and space to pursue my own angles of research. He has not only guided me through this project but has also prompted me to publish material in academic journals. The experience of writing material for accredited journals was initially difficult, and certainly humbling, but the exposure to critique certainly aided me in the production of this finalised study. I would also like to acknowledge the work of Dr. Rudolph Meyer whose professional editing skills corrected a number of my, all too frequent, basic grammatical errors. I must also extend my thanks to the finance department at UNISA who granted me an overseas postgraduate bursary for the duration of my studies. Without the bursary I could not have funded my study. I thank UNISA, therefore, for financially enabling this research project and hope that they are satisfied with the standard of the academic material that has been produced. There are also other academics from outside of UNISA who have unselfishly helped me at times in my research work. Dr Mark J. Cartledge sent me his most up to date work on practical theological methodology. Dr Andrew Village‘s advice concerning his Bible scale proved to be invaluable. Dr Obasi‘s willingness to allow me to use and adapt his worldview analysis scale enabled me to empirically test a difficult, yet important, conceptual issue. I extend my gratitude to them all and hope that I can continue to work with them in the future. The efforts of all those who participated in the various ‗Group‘ Assemblies of God in KwaZulu-Natal cannot go unrecognised. I must give special thanks to the area leader Dennis Solomon whose willingness to permit my study gave me access to all the Assemblies under his oversight. I also acknowledge the efforts of the pastor at ‗Ablewell‘ who has been supportive and enthusiastic throughout my work. I thank him, the leadership, and every congregant at ‗Ablewell‘ who opened themselves up to aid the research process. My friends and family have also played a significant role in the completion of this work. Without the financial support of numerous friends and family members we could not have supported ourselves in South Africa over these past few years. Their prayers and encouragements have also helped us through some difficult moments. I also extend my love and gratitude to my wife and sons who have shared this ‗African experience‘ with me. My v wife spent hours helping me transcribe interviews and enter questionnaire data. This final product would not have happened without her willingness to participate. The antics of my two young sons helped me ‗return to reality‘ after hours of study. I thank them all for their patience and tolerance throughout my study. Finally, I acknowledge the role that my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has played in my life thus far. He has enabled me to accomplish something that I, a short time ago, would not have believed was possible. It is my sincerest hope and prayer that the Lord will be glorified by the transformations suggested in this study. vi ABSTRACT The study commenced by identifying a theological problem relating to the lack of understanding regarding grass-roots African Pentecostal healing praxis. The empirical- theological approach of Van der Ven was utilised, therefore, to study the healing praxis of an African Pentecostal body, called: ‗The Group‘ Assemblies of God, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Van der Ven‘s original framework was developed by drawing on the hermeneutic and methodological work of Cartledge. A case study was undertaken on a ‗Group‘ Assembly in rural KwaZulu-Natal. The use of social scientific techniques produced a wide range of results that point to the church‘s ministry of healing as a process, rooted in the Trinity, that can occur through varied channels. These pathways ended in a broad understanding of healing. A dialogue between the qualitative results and the healing literature was used to develop a more precise theological question. Case study categories were conceptualised and then operationalised as a questionnaire. A survey was performed on all Assemblies affiliated to ‗The Group‘ Assemblies of God in KwaZulu-Natal. A significant number of people participated in the survey which produced a wide range of data. It is found that worldview and charismatic experience form an important hermeneutic axis that influences attitudes towards the healing ministry. Conservative biblical belief, ethnicity, education and gender influence attitudes towards healing. A distinct divide exists between positive attitudes towards physical, spiritual, inner healing and deliverance and more negative attitudes towards social and environmental healing. The reflection on these results focuses on the perceived influence of American dispensational fundamentalism. The eschatology formed from these beliefs has a narrowing effect on holistic healing ministry. Moltmann‘s transformational eschatology is suggested, therefore, as a suitable alternative. The methodological evaluation finds that several problems exist with regard to research in a rural African location. The cycle concludes by offering a range of suggestions for further study. vii viii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 ........................................................................................... 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................... 1 1.1 BACKGROUND .............................................................................................. 1 1.1.1 Health, healing and religion: the clash of worldviews in southern Africa ........... 1 1.1.2 The healing ministry of the church ................................................................... 2 1.1.3 Pentecostals and Healing ................................................................................ 3 1.2 THE THEOLOGICAL PROBLEM: LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF PENTECOSTAL HEALING PRAXIS ............................................................. 5 1.3 A PRACTICAL THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ........................................... 7 1.3.1 Variable approaches to Practical Theology ...................................................... 7 1.3.2 Problems with the “applied” approach .............................................................. 8 1.4 THEOLOGICAL GOAL ................................................................................. 10 1.4.1 Introduction .................................................................................................... 10 1.4.2 Practical value ............................................................................................... 10 1.4.3 Originality ....................................................................................................... 11 1.4.4 Urgency ......................................................................................................... 11 1.4.5 Scientific relevance ........................................................................................ 12 1.4.6 Assumptions .................................................................................................. 12 1.4.7 Conclusion ..................................................................................................... 12 1.5 Chapter outline ............................................................................................ 12 CHAPTER 2 ......................................................................................... 14 AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH FOR PENTECOSTAL STUDIES ........... 14 2.1 INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................... 14 2.2 THE EMPIRICAL APPROACH OF J.A.

Date: 1982 Food Chart Copyright © 2003 by World Church of Creativity Salubrious Living - Introduction The term "Salubrious Living" is a nomenclature I have coined as part and parcel of a very important facet of our religious creed and program set forth by the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR. The word "salubrious" comes from the Latin word "salubris" meaning "healthy; wholesome; sound; useful; vigorous". Webster's dictionary defines the English derivative "salubrious" as: 1. favorable to, or promoting health or well being; invigorating; 2. spiritually wholesome; conducive to good results". It is in this context of fully promoting the health and well being of the White Race that we use this term in its true literal meaning. We of the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR want to differentiate this term from "Natural Hygiene popularly used for many decades by health practitioners devoted to this worthy art and science.

Dr. Haag: Q&A "Fasting is not the solution to every health problem, but it can have a powerful effect in reversing pathology and establishing a foundation for health." What to expect on your first fast. Answers to the most commonly-asked questions! By Ralph Cinque D.C. INTRODUCTION: Fasting has been an integral part of Natural Hygiene care for more than 100 years. Many thousands of people have restored their health through fasting. Some, ill and distraught from years of discomfort and discouragement, try fasting as a last resort. Some of the conditions that respond well to fasting and aggressive dietary changes after the fast are headache, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, colitis, psoriasis, lupus, and uterine fibroids. Fasting to heal oneself can mean the difference between living life pain-ridden and dependent on drugs, going from one doctor to another for relief and living a normal, pain-free existence into old age. Health Science (1996) asked longtime Hygienic physician Ralph Cinque, D.C., to describe some of the experiences a person might encounter while considering and, ultimately, undertaking their first fast.

    HOLINESS THE JOURNAL OF WESLEY HOUSE CAMBRIDGE Confessions of a Methodist foodie: how tradition can feed our (good) habits and nourish our souls Charles Wallace THE REVD DR CHARLES WALLACE recently retired as chaplain and professor of religious studies at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. He has written articles on various members of the Wesley family, and published the complete writings of Susanna Wesley. [email protected] Salem, USA This essay suggests that an examination of Methodist history from the perspective of its ‘foodways’ can both enliven our understanding of the movement and perhaps reinvigorate its tradition. With the recent emphasis on food studies (and food in general in our culture) this overlooked element calls for examination. My research in this area is alluded to briefly with examples from the lives and work of Susanna, John and Charles Wesley, and Wesleyan followers Samuel Bradburn, Charles Atmore, and John and Mary Fletcher. I argue that this perspective can contribute positively to a living twenty-first century Methodist tradition.
