MOGOANE) iv ABSTRACT The role and impact of women in worship, in the Pentecostal churches of the Germiston District of Gauteng: a ritual-liturgical exploration, is a qualitative study conducted in three township churches. The study seeks to answer the question “What are the factors promoting or hindering the role and impact of women in worship, in the Pentecostal churches (particularly in the AOG (BTG)) in the Germiston District of Gauteng?” This study is premised on the assertion by Gabaitse (2015:2), that recent studies indicate that while the Pentecostal movement is potentially a liberating space, it still has ambivalent attitudes towards women; and that the church remains a space which subjugates women “even as it offers them a unique permission to speak.” The theoretical framework of the study is Richard Osmer’s four core tasks of Practical Theological Interpretation, viz. The Descriptive task, the Interpretive task, the Normative task and the Pragmatic task. The ritual-liturgical exploratory nature of the study demanded that the researcher should also deal with concepts such as worship, liturgy, ritual and women’s roles in the Old and New Testament worship. There was also a discussion of the concept of liturgy, which included liturgy as ritual, liturgy and tradition, and liturgical inculturation. The data collection methods were qualitative focus group interviews with women, as well as semi-structured interviews with congregational leaders. Data from the focus group interviews was presented in narrative form and ‘emic’ view of the participants. Tesch’s descriptive method of open coding was adopted in presentation of the data, as well as the thematic structure of the focus group interview schedule. The study revealed that the participants knew the roles played by men and women in worship. However, their roles were not significant in preaching in corporate services; as well as in congregational leadership positions, including being ordained pastors. The study showed further that women’s commitment, unity, passion for children, cooperation and action-orientatedness were major factors in their success in most church activities. In contrast, some of the factors which accounted for their roles and impact being insignificant were, the culture of members of the church, church tradition and selective use of some texts of the Bible to bring women into submission. v Participants indicated that the pragmatic way-forward is to go back to proper study and interpretation of the Bible. While some participants proposed a top-down approach to change systemic issues of the church, others said in improving the situation the different leadership structures should consult with other church members in a bottom-up approach. This study showed that while women are allowed to participate in some areas of worship in the AOG (BTG), the fundamental issues of patriarchy and gender equality with regard to preaching, ordination of pastors, as well as appointment into leadership positions of the whole church still need to be addressed.

I’ve been waiting for this debut, basically. The F16’s are jet fighter aircrafts, antibodies against influenza, code for mental and behavioral disorders due to use of hallucinogens, and five guys from Madras (they’re sentimentalists, this is important).

  • Milestone Records Discography
    Milestone Label Discography Milestone Records was established in New York City in 1966 by Orrin Keepnews and Dick Katz. The label recorded mostly jazz with a small amount of blues. The label was made part of Fantasy Records in 1972. Since that time it has been used as a reissue label in addition to new jazz recordings. Milestone has also reissued many historic jazz recordings, including the Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver and the New Orleans Rhythm Kings recordings that were originally made in the 1920’s by Richmond Indiana label Gennett Records. This discography was compiled using Schwann catalogs from 1966 to 1982 and information from the Michael Fitzgerald website. www.JazzDiscography.com 2000 Series: MLP 2001 - The Immortal Ma Rainey - Ma Rainey [1966] Jealous Hearted Blues/Cell Bound Blues/Army Camp Harmony Blues/Explainin' The Blues/Night Time Blues/'Fore Day Honry Scat///Rough And Tumble Blues/Memphis Bound Blues/Slave To The Blues/Bessemer Bound Blues/Slow Driving Moan/Gone Daddy Blues MLP 2002 - The Immortal Johnny Dodds - Johnny Dodds [1967] Rampart Street Blues/Don't Shake It No More/Too Sweet For Words/Jackass Blues/Frog Tongue Stomp/C.C.
