Halkncreutz CONTRIBUTORS 2 17 SEMINAR PROCEEDINGS 218 Preface The interlinkages between religion and politics in Southern Africa is a topical subject at a time when serious thought is being given to what a Post-Apartheid Society will look like by academics from outside as well as by scholars and politicians within the Liberation movement. This subject was explored at considerable depth at the third major research seminar jointly convened by the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies and the Nordic Institute of Missionary and Ecumenical Research (NIME) in Uppsala, Sweden, June 14-18, 1989. Material from that seminar has provided the source for this book. The organizing committee, comprising of Bertil OdCn, Thomas Ridzus and Annica van Gylswyk from the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies, and Axe1 Ivar Berglund, Ove Gustafsson and Car1 Fredrik Hallencreutz from NIME, enlisted a very rewarding response in the form of a most representative participation from the ANC and related agencies, scholars and Church leaders from the region as well as academic scholars and representatives of agencies for Mission and Development from the Nordic scene. Generous financial support from the Swedish Government and involved missionary and development- aid agencies allowed the plans of the organizing committee to become a reality. Editorial responsibility for the sharing of contributions made and insights gained in the course of the seminar has rested with a committee of the undersigned, with Lars Berge as editorial assistant. It should be noted that the papers and speeches delivered at the seminar have been edited and shortened, almost without exception, but always with the author's permission. Leena Kjallstrom of the Uppsala Department of Theology and Susanne Ljung of the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies have made unfailing efforts in providing the finished texts. Uppsala, February 1991 Curl F. Halkncreutz Mai Palmberg Department of Theology The Scandinavian Institute Uppsala University, and NIME of Afncan Studies Introduction Curl F. HaUeweutz In June 1989 the third major interdisciplinary Uppsala seminar on Religion and Society in Africa was convened with the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies as one of the organizers. The theme this time was Religion and Politics in Southern Afnca. Discussions proved again to be highly relevant and thought-provoking. Being the third of its kind, this seminar has a pre-history. The first major scholarly Uppsala encounter on Religion and Society in Africa took place when Uppsala University celebrated its Fifth Centenary in 1977. In fact, discussions were then pursued in two stages: first there was a special subsection on African Church History within the framework of an international conference on Ecclesiastical History. Secondly, there was an additional two-day workshop at SIAS, which mainly dealt with the proposed outline of Bengt Sundkler's forthcoming comprehensive account of the Christian Movement in Africa, These discussions, were also most rewarding. Material from these Uppsala deliberations on African Church History is available in The Church in a Changing Society, Uppsala 1977. The second step towards the 1989 Uppsala Seminar on Religion and Politics in Southern Africa was a research seminar in August 1984 on Religion, Development and Afncan Identity. At that time SIAS shared responsibility for the arrangements with the Nordic Institute of Missio- nary and Ecumenical Research (NIME or NIMER). Issues explored on that occasion included contemporary religious change, church and state in post colonial Africa, and the role of women in church and society in traditional and modem Africa. In the course of the proceedings, Bengt Sundkler gave a progress report on his re-assessment of dynamics and perspectives in African church history from "the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt" until the present day. Material from this research seminar has been published in Religion, Development and Afncan Iden- tity, Seminar Proceedings No. 17, Uppsala 1987. When the third major Uppsala seminar on Religion and Society in Africa was launched-again in the form of a joint venture, Religion and Politics in Southern Africa proved to be a highly topical theme. The primary objective was defined in terms of a critical assessment of the relevance of ongoing Scandinavian studies in the field of religion and society in Africa in light of the increasingly specific discussions within ANC and related agencies on the one hand, and in more independent fora on the other. Again the scholarly encounter proved challenging due to the re- presentative and varied participation from Southern Africa. And again Bengt Sundkler took an active part. In a special seminar group on church history he highlighted some specific findings with regard to Church developments in Southern Africa. The manuscript for his over- all presentation was just being finalized for transfer to his publisher in Cambridge. In a plenary session he was invited to review his pioneering studies of Independent Church Movements in Southern Africa in light of the main focus of the seminar. The third major Uppsala seminar on Religion and Society in Africa operated at three levels. Within the seminar proper, discussions were pursued both in plenary sessions and in more specialized seminar groups. There were also two significant public events; the first on Soweto Day, June 16; the second in the form of an ecumenical solidar- ity meeting on Sunday, June 18. Material which is published in this volume also contains contribu- tions from these public events. We are privileged in being able to publish Lisbet Palme's plea on behalf of suffering children in Southern Africa at the public meeting on Soweto Day 1989, as well as Archbishop Desmond Tutu's equally compassionate reflections on the role of the Church in striving towards a South Africa freed from apartheid at the subsequent ecumenical solidarity meeting. There were many categories of people involved in the seminar at various levels. I have already mentioned two distinguished guests. Moving on, I will suggest that there were at least four categories of participants. In the first place there were representatives of ANC and related organisations, most notably the Rev. Fumanekile Gquiba of the Department of Religious Affairs of ANC, and the Chief Representative of the ANC to the Nordic Countries, Billy Modise. Secondly, there were some very experienced and able Church leaders and scholars from the Southern Africa region, including Patrick Mutume of the Zim- babwe Catholic Bishops Conference and Ephraim Mandivenga, well- Introduction 11 known Islamologist from the University of Zimbabwe, as well as Gabriel Setiloane from the University of Cape Town and Sheena Duncan of Black Sash in Johannesburg. Thirdly, there were Scandinavian-and indeed some African!-research students and scholars such as Agnes Chepkwony Ongaro from Kenya and Sweden, Paul Gundani of Zim- babwe, and participants from four of the Nordic Countries. And fourthly, there were representatives of Non-Governmental Organisa- tions and Missions involved in the region and also sponsors of the seminar. The Minister of International Development Cooperation Lena Hjelm-Wall& officially opened the seminar proceedings. Of course, such a varied participation had varying expectations and their priorities differed. However, this diversity contributed to make seminar discussions and personal

  • 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. About this Case Study This case study was crafted under the editorial direction of Eric Patterson, visiting assistant professor in the Department of Government and associate di- rector of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at George- town University. 14 This case study was made possible through the support of the Henry Luce 16 Foundation and the Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International

Thepaper also attempts to make an inquiryinto how Christian missionaries sitting aloof observed, processed and responded to the growth and developments of Islam within Muslim communities in Malawi. It will also discuss the social, economic and political implications on Muslims, due to their refusal to send children to missionary school on account of “Education for Christianity”. And how the church, carefully drafted contemptuous desolations for Muslims which were borne due to church‟s noble ambition to Christianize the already religious Muslims instead of strengthening their membership to the heathen hordes who at the time outnumbered both Muslims and Christians all together. The research data were obtained through library study of books, journal and articles on the history of both Islam and Christianity. Keywords: Yao, Nkhotakota, Chewa, Jumbe, Muslims 1. Introduction The Republic of Malawi is a landlocked country bordered by Zambia to the west, Tanzania to the north, and Mozambique to the east and south. It is pertinent to say here that the population of Malawi is composed of people belonging to various faith groups and religions, namely Islam, Christianity and some traditional believers from different tribes.
