  • Encounters Between Jesuit and Protestant Missionaries in Their Approaches to Evangelization in Zambia
    chapter 4 Encounters between Jesuit and Protestant Missionaries in their Approaches to Evangelization in Zambia Choobe Maambo, s.j. Africa’s reception of Christianity and the pace at which the faith permeated the continent were incredibly slow. Although the north, especially Ethiopia and Egypt, is believed to have come under Christian influence as early as the first century, it was not until the fourth century that Christianity became more widespread in north Africa under the influence of the patristic fathers. From the time of the African church fathers up until the fifteenth century, there was no trace of the Christian church south of the Sahara. According to William Lane, s.j.: It was not until the end of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that Christianity began to spread to the more southerly areas of Africa. The Portuguese, in their search for a sea route to India, set up bases along the East and West African coasts. Since Portugal was a Christian country, mis- sionaries followed in the wake of the traders with the aim of spreading the Gospel and setting up the Church along the African coasts.1 Prince Henry the Navigator (1394–1460) of Portugal was the man behind these expeditions, in which priests “served as chaplains to the new trading settle- ments and as missionaries to neighboring African people.”2 Hence, at the close of the sixteenth century, Christian missionary work had increased significantly south of the Sahara. In Central Africa, and more specifically in the Kingdom of Kongo, the Gospel was preached to the king and his royal family as early as 1484.

  • 96 Chitokoloki: Celebrating a Century of the Lord's Work in Northwestern Zambia Alma Turnbull Port Colborne, ON: Gospel Folio
    BHR 11: 95–7 Chitokoloki: Celebrating a Century of the Lord’s Work in Northwestern Zambia Alma Turnbull Port Colborne, ON: Gospel Folio Press, 2014 164 pp.+photos ISBN: 978-1-927521-55-7 £15.99 On 11 January 1914 Frederick Stanley Arnot arrived on the Kabompo river in Northern Rhodesia, at its confluence with the Zambezi. His missionary companions were George Suckling and Lambert Rogers. They were looking for a suitable spot in which to establish a mission station for outreach among the Luvale people. A fortnight later, however, Arnot’s spleen ruptured, forcing his return to Johannesburg. It would be his last expedition. He died in May in South Africa. In the final words of his last book he had written: ‘Messers. Suckling and Rogers had no hesitation in deciding to stay on. May the Lord’s richest blessing rest upon them’.1 Within two years Rogers, too, was dead and the burden of the mission fell on Suckling. At the place known as Chitokoloki—meaning ‘a place of bright shining’—he established a printing press and a school, with the aim of reaching through education the Lunda people, on whom his work came to focus. Later, came medical work, with the addition of a hospital and a leper colony. Alma Turnbull’s book, as the subtitle indicates, was published to coincide with the centenary of the mission of Suckling and Rogers. It is a fitting celebration, being lavishly illustrated on high-quality, glossy paper, with all but a few of the photographs in colour. She traces the beginning of the mission and the vast influence that George Suckling had on the area, and takes the story up to the present time.

  • Juvenile Missionary Biographies, C. 1870-1917 'Thesis Submitted in Accordance with the Requirem
    Imagining the Missionary Hero: Juvenile Missionary Biographies, c. 1870-1917 ‘Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Julie Anne McColl.’ December 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the fascinating and complex body of work surrounding the missionary hero as a product of late imperial ideas of the heroic produced in the form of biography. It will concentrate upon how the literature was appropriated, reproduced and disseminated via the Sunday school network to working-class children between 1870 and 1917. It will discuss how biographers through imaginative narrative strategies and the reframing of the biography as an adventure story, were able to offer children a physical exemplar and self-sacrificial hero who dispensed clear imperial ideas and moral values. This thesis will reflect upon how the narratives embedded in dominant discourses provided working-class children with imperial ideologies including ideas of citizenship and self-help which it will argue allowed groups of Sunday school readers to feel part of an imagined community. In doing so, the thesis sheds important new light on a central point of contention in the considerable and often heated discussion that has developed since the 1980s around the impact of empire on British people.Through an analysis of common themes it will also consider the depiction of women missionaries, asking whether biographical representation challenged or reinforced traditional gender ideologies. To interrogate these components effectively this thesis is divided into two parts, Part One is divided into five chapters providing context, while Part Two will look in detail at the repetition and adaption of common themes.

  • DEVELOPMENT and DYNAMICS of CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY Part 2
    NCMI TRAINING MANUAL DEVELOPMENT AND DYNAMICS OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY Part 2 By Ian McKellar, Adapted by Leschenne D. Honiball This document may be duplicated whole, or in part, in any form (written, visual, electronic or audio) without express written permission, providing it is not used for commercial purposes. Development and Dynamics of Christian Theology in History (1500 - Modern Day) HISTORY LESSON ―History repeats itself. Has to, no one listens.‖ - Steve Turner ―…my people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge‖ Hosea 4:6 INTRODUCTION Church History is a most exciting subject. It teaches us so many things that would be difficult to learn in any other way. We must learn the patterns of history so that we do not keep on repeating the mistakes of the past and can begin to sow good seed so that we can reap the revivals of the future. In the Church today there is a great lack of the foundations of the faith; there is a great lack of the foundations of the faith; there is a great lack of understanding of where we have come from. Therefore it is difficult to see where we are going. Francis Schaeffer said, ―There is a flow to history and culture.‖ Once we begin to see and understand this flow we can begin to rise up with new faith for what God is doing in our day and for what God has promised in the future. In this course of Church History, there are four things we would like to highlight. Once you have finished the course, we trust that you have understood and gripped these four things: 1.

  • Brethren and the Sao Tomé Cocoa Slavery Controversy: the Role of Charles A
    BHR 4: 98-113 BRETHREN AND THE SAO TOMÉ COCOA SLAVERY CONTROVERSY: THE ROLE OF CHARLES A. SWAN (1861-1934)1 Tim Grass It is a commonplace of Brethren historiography that their missionaries sought to stand apart from matters to do with local politics and colonial administration, focusing on the proclamation of the gospel. However, such a view has been challenged by a few writers, and it is fair to say that it has been more of a reflection of attitudes at home than of the situation ‘on the field’. This is strikingly demonstrated by the involvement of the Brethren missionary Charles A. Swan (1861- 1934) in anti-slavery campaigning, and the way in which his career has been treated by later writers on Brethren mission. Swan was born and brought up in Sunderland, becoming a clerk on leaving school. Around the age of nineteen Swan was converted, mainly through the preaching of A.A. Rees (1815-84) at Bethesda Chapel. Rees was one of a number of pastors of independent evangelical causes who were to a considerable extent fellow-travellers with Brethren,2 and so it was a relatively easy step for Swan to begin attending a Brethren assembly, where he began to be exercised about becoming a missionary. Even before his conversion, he had been interested in things African, and after it he devoured Livingstone’s books as well as keeping up with reports of Fred Arnot’s work in Central Africa (Arnot had gone out in 1881).3 When he went abroad in 1886, it was in fellowship with the editors of Echoes of Service, 1.

  • FINISHING the JOB: TRANSFORMING the ZAMBIAN CHURCH from a MISSIONARY SENDING to MISSIONARY RECEIVING CHURCH Brad Kelly DM807
    FINISHING THE JOB: TRANSFORMING THE ZAMBIAN CHURCH FROM A MISSIONARY SENDING TO MISSIONARY RECEIVING CHURCH Brad Kelly DM807 Missions and Evangelism June 8, 2015 Ligonier Academy Zambia was one of the last African nations to be “effectively missionized.”1 The story of the Christian mission effort in Zambia, as it does for the majority of that region of Africa, begins with David Livingstone. While Livingstone did not spend an extended amount of time in Zambia, the news of his travels awakened Europe to the needs of the people and land. It was in Zambia, on May 1, 1873, that Livingstone died on his knees in prayer. It was in Zambia that his heart was buried. Plymouth Brethren Frederick Stanley Arnot spent 18 months (1882-1884) trying to establish a mission station in the land before moving on. François Coillard, a Frenchman serving with the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society, established the first lasting missionary effort in 1885. Before the 19th century ended, representatives of the Dutch Reformed (1889), Free Church of Scotland (1889), Roman Catholic (1898), and Primitive Methodists (1899) had all established works in the nation. While Christian mission got off to a late start in Zambia, progress was rapid. By the middle of the 20th century, representatives from nearly every major branch of Christianity and the major sub-Christian groups established a presence in Zambia.2 One begins to understand the success of Christian mission work when current demographic statistics are compared to another nation.
