Welty ABSTRACT My thesis examines the role of religion during apartheid in South Africa. I argue that in order to comprehend the socio-political circumstances surrounding the end of apartheid, it is necessary to understand the role of religion in South African society. During my fieldwork in the country, I interviewed key religious figures about their role in the liberation struggle. These interviews as well as information from theological statements produced by religious organizations, published memoirs, transcripts of speeches and published research on the apartheid era formed the backbone of my research. I established that religion served both as a force for domestication as well as liberation in South Africa. The Afrikaner community used religion to theologically justify and enforce apartheid. The use of religion for liberation manifested itself in theology, the work of religious leaders and direct political activism. ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Dr. Abu-Nimer has been my mentor at American University for the past three years and I have benefited greatly from his wisdom and knowledge. During my time in South Africa, I was blessed by the wit and spirit of David and Patty Geerdts who gave me direction, encouragement and even a cool bed to recover in during a bout of illness. The Hope Community sisters of Saint Philomena’s were my second home during my first and second stays in Durban. Their sense of humor and genuine care for me were immeasurably valuable. Marie Salupo was a perfect traveling companion and supportive listener during my first days back in South Africa after a long absence. Her friendship is a joy to me. Andrew McDonnell went above and beyond the call of duty by deciding to celebrate our ten year anniversary of friendship by volunteering to edit my thesis all the way from Saipan! Without the willingness of a great number of people in South Africa to share their stories and their experiences with me, this project would not have been possible. The gracious readiness of all of my interviewees to spend a morning or afternoon and several cups of tea with me is a testament to the warmth of the South African people. I am particularly indebted to the brilliant spirits of: Archbishop Denis Hurley, Dr. Nico Smith, Albert Nolan, Father Chris Townsend, Archbishop Rubin Phillip, Sue Brittion, Cardinal Wilfred Napier, Cosmas Desmond, Paddy Kearney, Richard Steele, Anita Kromberg, Archbishop Lawrence Henry and Rob Robertson. Finally, I am grateful beyond words to my family, friends, friends who feel like family and family who feel like friends for their patience, encouragement, good humor and love throughout this entire process. iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Since childhood, I have been engrossed in stories ranging from exquisitely illustrated picture books to incredibly detailed novels. As I grew older, my passion for travel and my preoccupation with social justice became just two more outlets for my thirst to hear and participate in human narratives. Unfortunately, “stories” are not seen as scholarly. Yet, despite that fact that this thesis rests firmly in the realm of scholarship, it still feels very much like a story to me. This is the story of a group of people who would not be kept down, who refused to accept second-class citizenship. This is a story about people of faith and the way that they used their faith to bring down an oppressive regime. This is a story about faith and hope and fear and courage. This is a story that involves people thousands of miles away and, this is the story of how I encountered and interpreted their experiences. And when people ask me to justify the power of nonviolence and spirit over violence and death - this is the story I tell them.... In 1972, Paulo Freire poised a radical thesis to the world of education. He asserted that education served one of two purposes - domestication or liberation.1 That is, the purpose of education was either to indoctrinate people into a way of life that served the interests of a more powerful institution or to open people to new possibilities for them to 1 Paulo Freire, “Education: domestication or liberation?” Prospects - quarterly review of education. Volume II, Number 2, (1972). 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. 2 become agents of change in society. In this thesis, I raise this same assertion in a different context - religion. In a discipline that has tended to focus on issues such as human rights, international negotiation, dispute resolution and peacebuilding initiatives, it might seem strange that I chose to focus my thesis on religion. The argument that I sustain throughout my thesis is that in order to fully understand the forces and historical conditions surrounding the end of apartheid, it is necessary to investigate the role of religion in South African society. I believe that when the definitive work on the struggle against apartheid is completed, it will take into account the depth and breadth of religious action that took place. This thesis is an attempt to make a contribution to this particular section of that grander scheme of research. The primary question that my thesis addresses is: how does viewing the historical events in South Africa (particularly from 1960 to 1990) through the perspective of political theology

It is worth noting in this regard that TV viewers in Australia were regaled with full coverage of the event; probably South African Anglicans saw less on TV of their own Archbishop than did Christians in most of the Western world. Why then the rancour from business and government? One possibility is that he is black, filling a post held hitherto only by whites. We should not forget that iust a OCTOBER 1986 century ago the Anglican Church was the official church of the Cape Colony (much i like the Church of England whose bishops are still appointed by Margaret Thatcher) until this legislation was removed from the statute books in the 1870s.

They are to be ·subpoenaed to an_in camera hearing by the Truth Commiussion on 17,18 and 19th August. Their subpoena under Section 29 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act means they have not asked for amnesty, and presumably believed that they would not be detected. I congratulated the TRC for discovering those they believed to be responsible. Whilst I did always want to know who was respon.ible it is another burden to come to terms with the reality of three actual human beings who are supposed to have tried to kill me.

  • Clergy's Resistance to VENDA Homeland's INDEPENDENCE in the 1970S and 1980S
    CLERGY’S Resistance to VENDA HOMELAND’S INDEPENDENCE IN THE 1970S and 1980S S.T. Kgatla Research Institute for Theology and Religion University of South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT The article discusses the clergy’s role in the struggle against Venda’s “independence” in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as resistance to the apartheid policy of “separate development” for Venda. It also explores the policy of indirect white rule through the replacement of real community leaders with incompetent, easily manipulated traditional chiefs. The imposition of the system triggered resistance among the youth and the churches, which led to bloody reprisals by the authorities. Countless were detained under apartheid laws permitting detention without trial for 90 days. Many died in detention, but those responsible were acquitted by the courts of law in the Homeland. The article highlights the contributions of the Black Consciousness Movement, the Black People Conversion Movement, and the Student Christian Movement. The Venda student uprising was second in magnitude only to the Soweto uprising of 16 June 1976. The torture of ministers in detention and the response by church leaders locally and internationally, are discussed. The authorities attempted to divide the Lutheran Church and nationalise the Lutherans in Venda, but this move was thwarted. venda was officially re-incorporated into South Africa on 27 April 1994.

  • From the Chair
    AASR B ULLETIN 24 (November 2005) 1 Elom Dovlo University of Ghana FROM THE CHAIR It is about a year since the new executive for the AASR was elected at Tokyo. It has been a year of brainstorming to see how best we can move the AASR forward as can be seen in the report of the AASR General Secretary, Dr. Afe Adogame. He has managed to arrange meetings where some of us were able to meet and share ideas. We hope that having Afe and Jim Cox at Edinburgh will contribute to our decision making process and smooth organization. Please let us have your ideas especially regarding our sugges- tions in the Secretary General’s report. We hope this year we will be able to move beyond ideas into actions. I am happy to note the good efforts being made by Kathleen Wicker to get the North American mem- bership reorganized, enlarged and active! We hope that other groups especially in Afri- ca will become equally active and look forward to announcements of in-country pro- grammes in the next AASR Bulletin. I also wish to stress the need for us to have a paid up membership to support the organizational and other expenses of the Association. The Bulletin itself has seen much transformation and we note with anticipation the move towards including short articles and reviews. Our many thanks to Dr. Jan Platvoet and Prof. Matthews Ojo and for this! Jan and his team have also managed to improve our communication and image with the AASR Website at little cost to the AASR.

  • The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada's Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities
    Brown Baby Jesus: The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada’s Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities Kathryn Carrière Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Religion and Classics Religion and Classics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kathryn Carrière, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my husband Reg and our son Gabriel who, of all souls on this Earth, are most dear to me. And, thank you to my Mum and Dad, for teaching me that faith and love come first and foremost. Abstract Employing the concepts of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) and system as primarily discussed by Edmund Husserl and Jürgen Habermas, this dissertation argues that the lifeworlds of Anglo- Indian and Goan Catholics in the Greater Toronto Area have permitted members of these communities to relatively easily understand, interact with and manoeuvre through Canada’s democratic, individualistic and market-driven system. Suggesting that the Catholic faith serves as a multi-dimensional primary lens for Canadian Goan and Anglo-Indians, this sociological ethnography explores how religion has and continues affect their identity as diasporic post- colonial communities. Modifying key elements of traditional Indian culture to reflect their Catholic beliefs, these migrants consider their faith to be the very backdrop upon which their life experiences render meaningful. Through systematic qualitative case studies, I uncover how these individuals have successfully maintained a sense of security and ethnic pride amidst the myriad cultures and religions found in Canada’s multicultural society. Oscillating between the fuzzy boundaries of the Indian traditional and North American liberal worlds, Anglo-Indians and Goans attribute their achievements to their open-minded Westernized upbringing, their traditional Indian roots and their Catholic-centred principles effectively making them, in their opinions, admirable models of accommodation to Canada’s system.

The case study looks at the commission and its cul- tural bases through three questions: What are the historical origins of apart- heid in South Africa? How did religious themes inform the truth and recon- ciliation process? How important were international religious and political forces? Additionally, the case study also includes a timeline of key events, a summary of relevant religious, political, and nongovernmental organizations, and a list of recommended further readings.
