  • An Anglican Parish in Transformation: the History of St. Margaret's, Parow
    An Anglican Parish in Transformation: The History of St. Margaret’s, Parow, 1942 - 1995 by Tessa Dawn Davids Dissertation presented for the degree of Masters of History at Stellenbosch University Department of History Promoter: Prof. Albert Grundlingh Date: March 2013 0 | P a g e Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that the reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe on any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: October 2012 Copyright © Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 | P a g e Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is an historical analysis of the History of St. Margaret’s Anglican Parish, situated in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. While documenting the history of the parish since its establishment in 1942, it also critically examines its response to the socio-political changes the country was going through such as the Group Areas Act and in so doing, determines the extent of its own transformation. St. Margaret’s was not the first Anglican parish in Parow. An Anglican presence existed in Parow since 1900 with St. John the Baptist being the first parish along with an Anglican primary school, namely Glen Lily. The Anglican parishes of Parow were profoundly affected by apartheid, especially the Group Areas Act which completely changed the landscape of the town and the roles of the parishes.

  • VOLUME 1 Main Thesis
    Engaging the Fertile Silence: Towards a Culturally sensitive Model for dealing with the HIV and AIDS Silence. By Benson Okyere-Manu Supervisor: Prof. Steve De Gruchy Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal VOLUME 1 Main Thesis November 2009 Pietermaritzburg DECLARATION I declare that this thesis, unless specifically indicated in the text, is my own original work which has not been submitted in any other University. ________________________ ________________ Benson Okyere-Manu Date University of KwaZulu-Natal 2009 i ABSTRACT This thesis critically examines one of the major hindrances to dealing adequately with the HIV and AIDS problem facing Africa – the issue of silence. The study has examined the hypothesis that there are cultural factors underlying the silence that surrounds the disease, which when investigated and identified, will provide cues for breaking the silence and a way forward for dealing with the HIV and AIDS epidemic. The study utilises the concept of ‘cultural context’ proposed by Hall and ‘dimensions of culture’ postulated by Hofstede, to investigate the cultural reasons behind the HIV and AIDS silence among the Zulu people in and around Pietermaritzburg in the Kwazulu Natal province of South Africa. Testing these theories in the field with participants in a community-based HIV and AIDS Project called the Community Care Project (CCP) the study found that cultural contexts strongly influence silence around HIV and AIDS. In terms of dimensions of culture, the area was found to exhibit high power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, high collectivism and is feminine in nature in terms of assertiveness, but having high gender inequality (high masculinity in terms of gender egalitarianism).

Signature: ............................……...................... Date: ..………………..............” 2 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract. Introduction: In South Africa 5.6-5.9 million people are currently living with HIV/AIDS, making South Africa the country in the world with the largest number of people living with HIV/AIDS. Despite numerous government measures to curb the pandemic, the prevalence and deaths due to HIV/AIDS have continued to rise to unacceptable levels. South Africa is reported to have one of the highest rates of sexual violence in the world and has the worst known figures for gender–based violence for a country not at war. Violence and coercive practices have been found to dominate sexual relationships in South Africa. Male dominance in sexual relationships as well as the role of traditional masculinity has made women vulnerable and encouraged the spread of HIV/AIDS. Church attendance has been found to have an inverse relationship with domestic violence. This implies that the church through its community engagement could assist with reducing gender based violence and sexual coercion.

  • The Beginnings of Anglican Theological Education in South Africa, 1848–1963
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 63, No. 3, July 2012. f Cambridge University Press 2012 516 doi:10.1017/S0022046910002988 The Beginnings of Anglican Theological Education in South Africa, 1848–1963 by PHILIPPE DENIS University of KwaZulu-Natal E-mail: [email protected] Various attempts at establishing Anglican theological education were made after the arrival in 1848 of Robert Gray, the first bishop of Cape Town, but it was not until 1876 that the first theological school opened in Bloemfontein. As late as 1883 half of the Anglican priests in South Africa had never attended a theological college. The system of theological education which developed afterwards became increasingly segregated. It also became more centralised, in a different manner for each race. A central theological college for white ordinands was established in Grahamstown in 1898 while seven diocesan theological colleges were opened for blacks during the same period. These were reduced to two in the 1930s, St Peter’s College in Johannesburg and St Bede’s in Umtata. The former became one of the constituent colleges of the Federal Theological Seminary in Alice, Eastern Cape, in 1963. n 1963 the Federal Theological Seminary of Southern Africa, an ecumenical seminary jointly established by the Anglican, Methodist, I Presbyterian and Congregational churches, opened in Alice, Eastern Cape. A thorn in the flesh of the apartheid regime, Fedsem, as the seminary was commonly called, trained theological students of all races, even whites at a later stage of its history, in an atmosphere

  • Hidden Presences in the Spirituality of the Amaxhosa of the Eastern Cape and the Impact of Christianity on Them
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) HIDDEN PRESENCES IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE AMAXHOSA OF THE EASTERN CAPE AND THE IMPACT OF CHRISTIANITY ON THEM P T MTUZE Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters degree in Theology (Spirituality) by coursework and thesis in the Department of Religion and Theology, Rhodes University, South Africa. Supervisor: Canon Luke Lungile Pato October 1999. Co-supervisor: Professor Felicity Edwards ABSTRACT This thesis is an attempt to reopen the debate on the whole question of inculturation in Southern Africa especially in light of the fact that we are now in a multi-lingual and multi-religious state. It is an attempt to rehighlight the plight of the spirituality of the amaXhosa people over the last century when missionary and imperial onslaught relegated it to the doldrums. This plunged the amaXhosa in a crisis that has left them directionless, to put it mildly. This is said because the total onslaught destroyed their self-respect and their identity and begs the question as to whether their acceptability to God was contingent on renouncing their culture especially the hidden prsences - Qamata, the living-dead and the notion of evil spirits. It is precisely because of these misconceptions regarding African culture and spirituality that the thesis has a strong expository and apologetic bias primarily aimed to address, and put into proper perspective, the significance of the Supreme Being, the living-dead and the evil spirits in African culture.
