The Pastor As Spiritual Antagonist: Re-Assessing the Role of South African Baptist Pastors in an Environment of Conflict THE PASTOR AS SPIRITUAL ANTAGONIST: RE-ASSESSING THE ROLE OF SOUTH AFRICAN BAPTIST PASTORS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF CONFLICT by IAN MELVILLE SIMMS submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY in the subject PRACTICAL THEOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTOR: DR ME HESTENES NOVEMBER 2008 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my promoter, Dr Mark Hestenes, for his supportative work in helping me to clarify key issues and matters of presentation. His skill and patient friendship have proved to be invaluable. My Baptist colleagues, especially those who took part in the field research, are a diverse group of dedicated people whose lives and ministries have made a difference in South Africa. I thank them for their perseverance and tenacity in the face of some daunting odds, and for their willingness to participate in this project. I want to express my appreciation to my fellow elders at Lyndhurst Baptist Church in Johannesburg, South Africa. Over the years, and with various changes to the eldership team, Chuck Barrett, Graham Ganesh, Rodney Pfeiffer, Shepard Dube and Kaoma Kapopo (and most recently, Robert Duncan) have encouraged me to carry on with study and they have made it possible for me to have uninterrupted study leave. Together, we have had fun in the ministry, and at the same time we have learned so much about what it means to bear spiritual oversight of a congregation of precious men, women and children in our excitingly multicultural community of faith that is emerging from the dark days of apartheid. My wife, Susan, and my children, Nicola and Justin, have adjusted their lives to make study possible for me. How do I begin to thank them? When I have wanted to throw in the towel, Susan has patiently turned my attention back to bigger things, and my children have known just when to interrupt and when to leave some things for another day. It is no exaggeration to say that Jesus Christ continues to be the inspiration of all that is worthwhile in my life. He is my life and the light of my eyes, and I trust that this thesis carries his approval above all else. DECLARATION I declare that The pastor as spiritual antagonist: Re-assessing the role of South African Baptist pastors in an environment of conflict is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. I.M.S. (ii) SUMMARY Baptist pastors in the early years of the twenty-first century find themselves in a challenging yet exciting period of South African history. Much has changed in the socio-political and religious contexts, yet Baptist pastors are still prone to operate according to earlier models of leadership and ecclesiology, with the result that they find themselves in situations of heightened conflict. Their position with respect to the laity, with whom they share a common priesthood of believers, is also an ambiguous one. After orientating the reader to the nature of the problem and various starting issues (chapter 1), this practical-theological thesis seeks to explore the nature of the changes in the socio-political milieu (chapter 2), as well as in the religious context (chapter 3). Baptist pastors are affected by a range of expectations that emerge from a particular view of the Bible and from the wider church community, as well as from the media and their own experience of pastors. Chapters 4 and 5 seek to understand these expectations, especially as these expectations have combined to produce role conflict and role ambiguity. In such a situation it is more understandable that ministry can lack a pastoral centre and an unclear identity. Pastors have adopted a stance in the midst of such competing demands on their role identity and chapter 6 attempts to make their position clearer through empirical analysis, before embarking – in chapters 7 and 8 – on a description of a new model of pastoral ministry that is founded on the theatrical notion of the antagonist. Several implications for future ministry are explored in chapter 9, as we look forward to a revised praxis. The pastor as spiritual antagonist is approached from the vantage-point of the world of drama, since this angle, in its metaphorical richness, is seminal for a new understanding of the provocative role of the pastor in a world that is steadily devaluing spiritual leadership. The spiritual antagonist is described in terms of his/her character and ministry actions as one who is profoundly spiritual in his awe of God and in his determination to live reflectively. At the same time the spiritual antagonist is one who has an imaginative grasp on the communicative possibilities of being with people, and alongside people, intensely and for the purpose of provoking decision and faith. Whatever conflict is generated by such a stance is deliberately incorporated for educational and transformational purposes. Whatever is modelled – in the mode of the spiritual antagonist – by ordained pastors / elders becomes facilitatory for fellow believers in the congregation to fashion a similar identity. Thus an old division in Baptist ecclesiology is healed.

Downing ___________________________ William C. Donahue An abstract of a Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of German Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2013 Copyright by Lynda Kemei Nyota 2013 Abstract This dissertation focuses on the fictional narratives of Eastern and Central European women authors writing in German and explores the ways in which historical and political trauma shapes their approach to narrative. By investigating the atrocities of the World War II era and beyond through a lens of trauma, I look at the ways in which their narrative writing is disrupted by traumatic memory, engendering a genre that calls into question official accounts of historical events. I argue that without the emergence and proliferation of these individual trauma narratives to contest, official, cemented accounts, there exists a threat of permanent inscription of official versions into public consciousness, effectively excluding the narratives of communities rendered fragile by war and/or displacement.
