  • Civil Appeal No. SC 180/09 & SC 130/10
    Judgment No. SC 48/2012 1 Civil Appeal No. SC 180/09 & SC 130/10 REPORTABLE ZLR (34 ) THE CHURCH OF THE PROVINCE OF CENTRAL AFRICA v THE DIOCESAN TRUSTEES FOR THE DIOCESE OF HARARE SUPREME COURT OF ZIMBABWE MALABA DCJ, ZIYAMBI JA & OMERJEE AJA HARARE, OCTOBER 22 & NOVEMBER 19, 2012 A P de Bourbon SC, with him T Mpofu, for the appellant T M Kanengoni with him C Nyika, for the respondent MALABA DCJ: There are two appeals against judgments of the High Court. The first decision appealed against is in case No. HC 4327/08 whilst the second appeal is against the judgment in case No. HC 6544/07. Both decisions were made by the same judge. At the centre of the dispute in each case is the question whether those people who had been members of the Board of Trustees for the Diocese of Harare relinquished the right to control the appellant’s property on 21 September 2007. Put differently, but directly, the question raised by both appeals is; did those people who had been members of the Board of Trustees for the Diocese of Harare withdraw their membership from the appellant and ipso facto resign their offices thereby losing the right to control its property such as church buildings, houses, schools, motor vehicles and funds in banks? The appellant shall hereinafter be referred to as “the Church”, or “the Province” or “the Appellant Church” as the context permits. Judgment No. SC 48/2012 2 Civil Appeal No. SC 180/09 & SC 130/10 Who are the parties involved in the dispute over the right of control and occupation of the property? The Appellant Church is a voluntary association of members whose main objective is to hold the faith of Jesus Christ and act in accordance with the doctrines in which it is embodied.

  • A Critical Historical Evaluation of the Formation of the Anglican Province of Zimbabwe (APZ) by Bishop Nolbert Kunonga
    Article A Critical Historical Evaluation of the Formation of the Anglican Province of Zimbabwe (APZ) by Bishop Nolbert Kunonga Graham A Duncan https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2583-1914 University of Pretoria [email protected] Farai Mutmiri University of Pretoria Abstract The continued appointments of white expatriate priests as rectors of Zimbabwean parishes constituted a challenge to the Quest for Belonging in the post-independence period in Zimbabwe. A substantial challenge to the status quo came from Bishop Nolbert Kunonga with the formation of the Anglican Province of Zimbabwe in his apparent attempt at “belonging” and indigenisation. However, subsequent developments testify to Kunonga’s domineering leadership style, his disregard for the doctrines, laws and traditions of the denomination. Keywords: Anglican Province of Zimbabwe (APZ); Bishop Nolbert Kunonga; Church of the Province of Central Africa (CPCA); M. L. Daneel; Quest for Belonging Introduction The Anglican Diocese of Harare found itself being dragged through a decade of turmoil which ran from 2002 to 2012, by actions of its sitting bishop, Bishop Nolbert Kunonga, who became bent on severing ties with the Church of the Province of Central Africa (CPCA). In the process Bishop Nolbert Kunonga formed his own province called the Anglican Province of Zimbabwe (APZ) but, notwithstanding this, was determined to hold on to the properties that belonged to the CPCA. This unusual development did not conform to the notion of Quest for Belonging as propounded by Daneel (1987) and discussed below.

  • A Missiological Assessment of Ethnicity in Urban Anglican Churches in Zambia: a Case Study of the Establishment and Growth of St Mary Magdalene’S Church, Kabulonga
    A missiological assessment of ethnicity in urban Anglican churches in Zambia: a case study of the establishment and growth of St Mary Magdalene’s Church, Kabulonga. R. H. Banda Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts ( Missiology) at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University. Supervisor: Dr. P.J. BUYS, Secondary Supervisor: Dr. F. Moyo. APRIL, 2013. 1 ABSTRACT This research examines present day urban Anglican churches in Zambia which are ethnically “homogeneous” in a heavily multi-ethnic environment. I give Attention to the understanding of the biblical, theological, and missiological background and seek to find a way to attract many ethnic groups into the churches. The research notes that the present scenario does not represent a healthy urban church. I argue that a biblical, theological and holistic Gospel proclamation, that is, in word and deeds, will attract other ethnic groups into the urban church and make it truly multi-ethnic and multi- cultural. KEY TERMS Anglican churches in Zambia, Culture, Ethnicity, Homogenous Unit Principle, mission, mission station, missiology, UMCA, urban, 2 ABBREVIATIONS ACC Anglican Consultative Council ACO Anglican Communion Office CPCA Church of the Province of Central Africa CPSA Church of the Province of Southern Africa (Now Anglican Church of the Southern Africa- ACSA) CSO Central Statistical Office HUP Homogeneous Unit Principle UMCA Universities Mission to Central Africa 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to give thanks to the Lord to the following people for their love and support in seeing this study come to realty: 1.

  • Interim Listings for January to July 2019 The
    Anglican Communion Cycle of Prayer – interim listings for January to July 2019 The Anglican Communion’s Cycle of Prayer is a much-used and highly valued resource throughout the Anglican Communion. It is a means by which Anglicans around the world can pray for all other Anglicans, diocese-by-diocese. The Anglican Communion Office is in the midst of a period of transition with its information technology services and it has not been possible to produce the Prayer Diary for 2019 in the same way that we have done previously. Work is in hand to improve our database and internal systems. Once complete we will be able to produce, once again, the Cycle of Prayer in multiple formats. In the meantime, we hope that this interim listing, which covers the first six months of 2019, will provide you with the means to continue the global cycle of prayer for our Communion and its members.
