  • The Challenges of Christian Marriages in Contemporary Africa
    The Challenges of Christian Marriages in Contemporary Africa Otieno Ishmael Opiyo Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies University of Nairobi Email: [email protected] Prof. Stephen Akaranga Ifedha Associate Professor: Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies University of Nairobi Email: [email protected] Dr. Edith C. Kayeli Lecturer: Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies University of Nairobi Email: [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________ Abstract _____________________________________________________________________________ This paper focuses on the need for dialogue between Christianity and African cultures in addressing contemporary marital problems. It highlights the historical problems that arose from the attempts to impose Christian marriage in Kenya void of African values by the early Christian missionaries. It also shows how the problems of marriage have persisted in African Christianity right from the missionary period and have degenerated with the wave of social change that is witnessed in the modern society. The paper summarizes pillars of both African and Christian marriages, thereby creating a ground for dialogue between the two faiths. On one side, African marriage is portrayed as a compulsory rite of passage, communal covenant, and a sacred institution with the value to create and recreate life. On the other, Christian marriage is presented as a monogamous union that binds together two individuals into a holy status of matrimony.

  • AN EVALUATION of POLYGAMY POLICY in the CHURCH of the NAZARENE in AFRICA: AFRICA CENTRAL FIELD CASE STUDY Chinyama Joe Lilema and Rodney L
    1 AN EVALUATION OF POLYGAMY POLICY IN THE CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE IN AFRICA: AFRICA CENTRAL FIELD CASE STUDY Chinyama Joe Lilema and Rodney L. Reed, Africa Nazarene University INTRODUCTION Christians know that marriage is not an accident of history. Marriage is a gift from God and a key building block of human civilization. God instituted marriage as a concrete expression of his covenant love for humanity (oneness), as an expression of God’s own nature (life-giving and nurturing creativity) and means it to be a source of happiness and fulfillment (sexual and relational intimacy). In God’s wisdom and creative power, God gave humanity the capacity for a relationship between a man and a woman as intimate as any on earth can be. This article will focus on polygamy, a form of marriage where several wives share one man. 1 The practice of polygamy is an issue across Africa. While the encroachment of Western values and styles of living increasingly make polygamy seem out of place and a relic of Africa’s past, many Africans continue to practice polygamy and to defend it vigorously. In January of 2010, the marriage of Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa to a third wife and the announcement of yet another fiancé and the recognition a 20 th child by yet another woman not his wife nor his fiancée made international headlines and provoked lively debate across Africa. 2 Not to be out done, in neighboring Swaziland, King Mswati III created as much controversy through the taking of a 17 year old school girl as his thirteenth wife at the annual Reed Dance Ceremony in 2005.3 King Mswati, himself is one of 67 sons of his father King Sobuhuza II who died at the age of 82 with 70 wives and 210 children.4 The Christian church has not been left out of the controversy over polygamy.

  • Fully Employing Print, Radio, Television, and the Internet to Reach Diverse Audiences with the Good News
    Lausanne World Pulse, P.O. Box 794, Wheaton, Illinois, USA, 60187 Email: [email protected] A free, monthly, online publication that provides you with evangelism and mission news and information. May 2011 PUBLISHER’S MEMO We Have a (Personal) Story to Tell the Nations By Doug Birdsall “Evangelism itself is the proclamation of the historical, biblical Christ as Savior and Lord with a view to persuading people to come to him personally and so be reconciled to God.” - Lausanne Covenant “Evangelism is the outflow of hearts that are filled with the love of God for those who do not yet know him.” - Cape Town Commitment The rapid development of communications technologies in the modern era has greatly expanded the tools of evangelism. Christians around the world are actively and fruitfully employing print, radio, television, and the Internet to reach diverse audiences with the good news. The Lausanne Movement celebrates and encourages the use of all available means to bear witness to Christ. But in this issue of Lausanne World Pulse we explore the original and timeless method of sharing the gospel: personal testimony. The message of Jesus Christ is still most powerfully communicated when one person, whose life has been changed by the gospel, bears witness to another person who is in need of hope and love. Yes, our faith is propositional, historical, social, textual, and contextual, but it is also inescapably personal. At Lausanne II in Manila in 1989, American businessman Ford Madison conducted an informal survey of how the four thousand congress participants came to know Christ. He first asked how many converted at a large evangelistic event.
