When God created Adam and Eve and left them in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2:7) he gave them strict instructions . The only voice and instruction they were to listen to was that of the Almighty. God gave an instruction that Adam and Eve were free to eat everything in the garden except the one tree in the middle (Genesis 2:16). God had spoken and laid his rules. His voice is the only one we should listen to, obey and trust. The devil, who at all times tries to undermine God, was at play. Eve heard the devil’s voice ask the question ”did he really say you must not eat the fruit of that tree?”(3:1) We all will admit that the nagging small voices that we often hear which are contrary to God’s teachings are from the devil. Satan does not like God’s people to respect, trust and have faith in the Almighty. Satan always tries to deceive people and he comes through the small voice that we hear and we can not tell who is speaking. Satan always casts doubt in our minds thus wanting to attack our hearts and minds. People of God who are righteous & who know God loves them will not be led astray by voices with no substance. Voices that go against God‘s teachings. The only way to fight Satan is through the Scriptures. We must be ready to fight back and not allow Satan to deceive us and tell us stories which lead us away from God. God is our creator. We are his people (Psalm 100). The Bible teaches us that the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob is our redeemer through his son Jesus Christ whom he sent to die for our sins. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who ever believes in him should not perish (John 3:16)” God loves us and we must believe and have faith that he is there for us. God wants us to be success- ful, to have peace, to have joy, to have life in abundance. Therefore, whatever challenges we are facing we must always trust God. God is there for us, he will answer our prayers and see us through all issues relating to our lives. We must never listen to voices that cast doubts in our heads. Jesus Christ is our only hope. The message then is that we must always be certain that we are listening to the right voice - not the devil’s voice, which is always trying to test our faith. Submitted by Connie Nkosi ST MICHAEL’S SWORD Page 4 “OUR ARBOREAL NOBILI TY” CONTRIBUTED BY COLIN WHITTLE An estimated 1700 tree species are native to Southern Africa, compared with just under 100 for the whole of Europe. Less than 0,2% of South Africa’s land mass is covered by high forest. About half the tree species grow along the south and eastern coastlines and on the southern and south eastern slopes of the inland mountains. The other half are spread over the Highveld Plateau, rising to nearly 2000 metres, and also throughout the Bushveld of KZN, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and the Northern Province. A former Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry established a list of 21 ‘Champion Trees’. These are individual trees, or groups of trees, short listed by a panel of experts considered to be of national conservation importance. Among those listed are the famous Tsitsikamma Big Tree (Yellowwood) along the garden route, The Post Office Milkwood at Mossel Bay, the Sagole Baobab in Limpopo Province (largest tree in South Africa), and the Camphor trees planted at Vergelegen Estate some three centuries ago. In this list, my list of arboreal princes, I have selected a very limited number of tree species which appeal to me the most, mainly because of their form, character and size. I admit, a highly subjective approach, but so be it. Also, they are almost all from the Mpumalanga Lowveld.

  • An Anglican Heritage in Transition: an Examination of the Role and Function of Traditional English Church Music in Four Anglican Parishes on the Witwatersrand
    AN ANGLICAN HERITAGE IN TRANSITION: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CHURCH MUSIC IN FOUR ANGLICAN PARISHES ON THE WITWATERSRAND By Malcolm Chalmers Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Heritage Studies) By Coursework and research Report Supervisor: Paul Germond Johannesburg February 2007 DECLARATION I declare that this research report is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts (Coursework and Research Report) in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other university ____________________________________________ Malcolm Chalmers _______________ day of ______________________ 2007 i ABSTRACT This study examines an aspect of Anglican Church heritage (in a state of transition in South Africa) namely, the role and function of traditional English Church Music in a selected number of parishes on the Witwatersrand. Some musicians within the church see this heritage as being under threat, and with the ever-growing support for gospel and traditional African music in a number of former "white" parishes, not to mention the ongoing interest in so-called charismatic or contemporary music, there seems to be a concern that the style of music, as practised for centuries in the liturgy of the Anglican Church, may well be in decay. Thus, the preservation of a heritage such as this, surrounded by so many differing and varied cultural influences perhaps requires a new focus and prominence within the local Anglican Church community.

  • Chapter 17 – the Anglican Church
    Chapter 17 – The Anglican Church I was born and bred into the Anglican Church, and baptised (according to local custom) three months after birth, in St Saviour’s Church, Claremont in the March of ’41. Having been dutifully dragged to church “kicking and screaming” by my Mom and Dad, I refused to become a server, let alone sing in the choir. In 1954, I was confirmed by Archibald Cullen (again if you paying attention mentioned in my chapter of high school and St Pauls), After leaving school, where (as you remember) we were required to go to church twice a Sunday and Compline on a Wednesday, I for some strange reason did not rebel against religion (as so many people do), but continued to be a passive by-stander. A certain amount of this overlaps with previous chapters and so I will not bore you with the details again. I was always at loggerheads with the church – the Anglican Church. During my ministry, I had many an occasion to write to Bishops, regaling my complaints or requests. Bear in mind, that up to the early 2000’s, there was no email. But ‘snail mail’ was still working. On one occasion, I was in the vestry at Kempton Park for a confirmation, and Bishop Leslie Stradling was there. He handed me a draft copy of the new liturgy which was in the process of being reviewed. Horace Wilson, Rector of Vereeniging, grabbed it out of my hand and to my amazement uttered heresy! Well, Leslie in his calm manner just said “By whose standards Horace” The incident reminded me of the heresy of Arianism in the early 4th century, which denied the divinity of Our Lord, and Athanasius had to fight against them, when he was a Bishop, and who was exiled six times before he managed to enlist the majority at the Council of Nicaea and the Nicene Creed was formulated.
