A tradition attested already by St. Ireneus and influenced in the liturgy of ordination, sees the origin of the diaconate in the institution of the “seven” mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (6:1-6). St Paul refers to the deacons and to bishops in his letter to the Philippians. (1:1), while in his first letter to Timothy (3:8-13) he lists the qualities and virtues which they should possess so as to exercise their ministry worthily. While the permanent diaconate was maintained from earliest Apostolic times to the present in the Eastern rite churches (Orthodox and Catholic), it gradually disappeared in the western church during the first millennium. The diaconate continued as a vestigial form as a temporary, final step along the course to ordination to the priesthood in the western church. In the 20th Century, the Permanent Diaconate was restored in the western church. Following the recommendations of the Second Vatican Council (in Lumen Gentium 29), in 1967 Pope Paul VI issued the motu proprio Sacrum Diaconatus Ordinem, restoring the ancient practice of ordaining to the diaconate men who were not candidates for priestly ordination. The permanent deacons are assigned to work in a parish and to assist priests in their pastoral and administrative duties, but report directly to the bishop who appoints them. Unlike most clerics, permanent deacons are married or single men who also have a secular profession. In the Archdiocese of Cape Town, the first deacons to be ordained to the order of Permanent deacons took place in 1980. In the early days, the archdiocese had a clear policy for diaconate training and formation. Priests requested men to study towards becoming deacons. Over the past 30 years the bishops have ordained close to 100 deacons to minister in 75 parishes throughout the Archdiocese. Today there is a need to try to understand why deacons lack the zeal and passion that was so prevalent at their ordinations. Is it due to their training or has a need a risen for a deeper theological understanding of the diaconate. Priests do not fully understand 3 the ministry of the deacons which on occasions gives rise to conflict within the parish. Currently more and more communities are calling on the parish deacon before approaching their parish priest for advice. It is in these theoretical grounds that a critical assessment of the Profile and Ministry of the Catholic Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Cape Town was undertaken. This is pioneer research in the Archdiocese. 4 DECLARATION I hereby declare that: Critical assessment of the Profile and Ministry of the Catholic Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Cape Town is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or assessment in any other university, and that all the sources I have used and quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.

A tradition attested to already by St. Ireneus and influenced in the liturgy of ordination, sees the origin of the diaconate in the institution of the “seven” mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (6:1-6). St Paul refers to the deacons and to the bishops in his letter to the Philippians. (1:1), while in his first letter to Timothy (3:8-13) he list the qualities and virtues which they should possess so as to exercise their ministry worthily. While the permanent diaconate was maintained from earliest Apostolic times to the present in the Eastern rite churches (Orthodox and Catholic), it gradually disappeared in the Western church during the first millennium. The diaconate continued as a vestigial form as a temporary, final step along the course to ordination to the priesthood in the Western church. In the 20th Century, the permanent diaconate was restored in the Western church. Following the recommendations of the Second Vatican Council (in Lumen Gentium 29), in 1967 Pope Paul VI issued the motu proprio Sacrum Diaconatus Ordinem, restoring the ancient practice of ordaining to the diaconate men who were not candidates for priestly ordination, but for ministry (Walsh 1979:217). The permanent deacons are assigned to work in a parish and to assist priests in their pastoral and administrative duties, but report directly to the bishop who appoints them. Unlike most clerics, permanent deacons are married or single men who also have a secular profession. In the Archdiocese of Cape Town, the first deacons to be ordained to the order of Permanent deacons took place in 1980. In the early days, the archdiocese had a clear policy for diaconate training and formation. Priests requested men to study towards becoming deacons. Over the past 30 years the bishops have ordained close to 100 deacons to minister in 75 parishes throughout the Archdiocese. 9 Today there is a need to try to understand wh y deacons lack the zeal and passion that was so prevalent at their ordinations. Is it due to their training or has a need risen for a deeper theological understanding of the diaconate. Some priests do not fully understand the ministry of the deacons which, on occasions, gives rise to conflict within the parish. Currently more and more communities are calling on the parish deacon before approaching their parish priest for advice. It is in these theoretical grounds that a critical assessment of the Profile and Ministry of the Catholic Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Cape Town needs to be undertaken. This would be a pioneer research in the Archdiocese. Methodology and Research procedure In order to investigate the research problem stated above, the following logical steps will be followed. The first step will be to offer a brief synopsis of the restoration of the permanent diaconate in the Catholic Church; how the idea of restoring the diaconate was developed within the church; how the popes implemented the restoration.

    Archbishop Rowan Williams Address to the Synod of Bishops "To be Fully Human is to be Recreated in the Image of Christ's Humanity" VATICAN CITY, OCT. 11, 2012 (Zenit.org).- Here is the text of His Grace Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of All England and the Anglican Communion, during his address to the Synod of Bishops. * * * Your Holiness, Reverend Fathers, brothers and sisters in Christ - dear Friends 1. I am deeply honored by the Holy Father's invitation to speak in this gathering: as the Psalmist says, “Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum habitare fratres in unum”. The gathering of bishops in Synod for the good of all Christ's people is one of those disciplines that sustain the health of Christ's Church. And today especially we cannot forget that great gathering of “fratres in unum” that was the Second Vatican Council, which did so much for the health of the Church and helped the Church to recover so much of the energy needed to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ effectively in our age. For so many of my own generation, even beyond the boundaries of the Roman Catholic Church, that Council was a sign of great promise, a sign that the Church was strong enough to ask itself some demanding questions about whether its culture and structures were adequate to the task of sharing the Gospel with the complex, often rebellious, always restless mind of the modern world. 2. The Council was, in so many ways, a rediscovery of evangelistic concern and passion, focused not only on the renewal of the Church's own life but on its credibility in the world.

  • Catholics and Jews: and for the Sentiments Expressed
    Archdiocesan News A PUBLICATION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CAPE TOWN • ISSUE NO 81 • JULY-SEPTEMBER 2016 • FREE OF CHARGE WORLD YOUTH DAY 2016 At the end of July an Archdiocesan contingent of seven young people (and Fr Charles) headed to Poland to be a part of World Youth Day 2016. They spent some days in Czestochowa Diocese in the small town of Radonsko, experiencing Polish hospitality and visiting the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. Then they headed off to Krakow for various activities and an encounter with millions of other pilgrims from all over the world, culminating in an all-night vigil and Mass with Pope Francis. Claremont Mosque condemns killing of Catholic Priest PRESS STATEMENT – 26 JULY 2016 CMRM Condemns Inhumane Killing of Catholic Priest The Claremont Main Road Mosque (CMRM) congregation strongly con- demns the brutal killing of an 85 year-old Catholic priest by two ISIS/Da`ish supporters during a Mass at a Church in Normandy, France. The inhumane and gruesome killing of the elderly Father Jacques Hamel and the sacrili- geous violation of a sacred prayer space bears testimony to the merciless ideology of Da`ish. It is apparent that Da`ish is hell-bent on fuelling a reli- gious war between Muslims and Christians. However, their war is a war on humanity and our response should reflect a deep respect for the sanctity of all human life. This tragic incident should spur us to redouble our efforts at reaching out to each other across religious divides. Our thoughts and prayers are with the congregation of the Church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and the Catholic Church at large.

    Archdiocesan News A PUBLICATION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CAPE TOWN • ISSUE NO 67 • OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2012 • FREE OF CHARGE Archbishop's Stewardship Challenge Making stewardship a way of life in the Year of Faith A Christian Steward is a Christ follower who: • Receives God’s gifts gratefully • Cherishes and tends them in a responsible way • Shares them in justice and love for all • Returns them with interest to the Lord (USCCB Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response) This means that we acknowledge that all we have has been given to us as a gift from God and we are grateful for all our gifts, our posses- sions, our health, our children, etc. We cherish these gifts and realise that we are accountable for all that we have been given, and we prom- ise to take care of them in a responsible way. For the benefit of others, God has given us all these gifts that we might be generous and give back a portion for the common good and in recognition of the bless- ings received from God (Malachi 3:10). We are also to use the gifts we have been given, and not to ‘bury’ them. Remember the Parable of the Talents. (Matthew 25:13-30) In a very practical way we are asked to give back to God from all Archbishop Brislin leads the way in the stewardship challenge, taking time out of his busy schedule to serve the poor that He has given to us in three ways: Time Talents Treasure THE STEWARDSHIP CHALLENGE TIME: spend one extra hour in prayer each week, go to an extra How do we do this?

Rome 2013 Stampa Istituto Salesiano Pio XI - Via Umbertide, 11 - 00181 Roma Tel. : 06.78.27.819 - Fax : 06.78.48.333 - E-Mail [email protected] Finito di stampare : aprile 2013 Foreword The meeting of the History Research team held in Rome from 5th to 7th May 2011 suggested that I should prepare material for the study and teaching of the period 1947-1967. This was a period in which Africa and our Society experienced some of the most sweeping changes in our history. Reading and research for this period was carried out in London in 2011 and in Rome in February 2012. A dossier of background and working papers, amounting to some 40,000 words, was prepared. In addition, material was included about Missionaries of Africa who served as military chaplains, and who were demobilized between 1945 and 1954. In 1957 the Society included up to 600 former soldiers, of whom one in ten had served as officially designated military chaplains. This fact had much to do with the Society's preparedness for, and expectation of, change. In November 2012 François Richard and Jean-Claude Ceillier proposed that the dossier should form the basis of a volume in the History Series, focussing on the contribution of Léo Volker, superior general from 1957 to 1967.I am grateful to Jean-Claude Ceillier and the History Research team, and to François Richard, Juan-José Oses and Fritz Stenger in the General Archives, Library and Photo Collection at Via Aurélia, for ail their help.

    (IV) EVANGELIZATION AND THE PARISH I. Why Look at Parish? In recent years the dignity of the person and the role of culture have been central to the Church’s mission of evangelization. However, between a theological anthropology of the person and the social analysis of culture there is another practical dimension of Christian life that has been somewhat ignored. I am referring to the idea and function of parish. Helping parishes to become missionary, that is, to become engines of evangelization is one challenge that the Bishops of North America face.1 Understanding the meaning of Parish and its mission to evangelize deserves focused attention and action for five reasons. First, we often take the idea of parish for granted. In urban areas, the territorial definition of parish has very little or no meaning. People seek the parish and the Sunday Mass time that maximizes their convenience and satisfaction thanks to the car and a dash of the consumerism. Parish allegiance is diminishing.2 What idea of parish is really operative today? What idea should be operative and what should we be doing about it? Second, the Church is a catalyst or at least an arena for the dynamic between culture and the faithful. But is this happening at the parish level? At least one Canadian theologian has argued it is not and that in the future parishes may not be necessary.3 Third, immigration and multiculturalism have radically altered the presuppositions and expectations of what a parish is and how it should function. In the Greater Toronto Area, the Eucharistic Assembly is a wonderful sight to behold because of the variety of multinational faces.
