Appèl met die oog op regsherstel : 'n Gereformerd kerkregtelike studie / G.J. MeijerMeijer, Gerard Johannes January 2006 (has links)
Conflict and injustice are endemic to the imperfectness of human existence, and the Church of
Christ is not immune to them. Various means can be adopted to solve conflict in the church.
This study is concerned with legal restitution through calling at a major assembly, as provided
in Article 31 Church Order.
Statement of the problem
Biblical grounds for the right of appeal are largely lacking in the Reformed church polity. In
addition, there is no clear definition of the concept 'injustice' in Article 31 Church Order. In the
case of appeals brought to a synod of the RCSA, the verdict usually contains no guidelines on
how the matter should be dealt with in practice in order to effect reconciliation. Consequently,
the outcome of an appeal does not necessarily contribute to the solution and restoration of
broken relationships.
Aim and method of work
This study endeavours to
determine the biblical grounds of appeal and legal restitution in Reformed church polity
through scriptural study;
establish the essence and content of appeal in Reformed church polity; and
examine the functioning, treatment and application of appeal with a view to legal restitution
in the RCSA, and address shortcomings in this respect.
Findings
Legal restitution occurs when
an appeal is judged according to clearly defined norms;
the verdict rests on the same norms; and
the necessary steps had been taken to reconcile the parties involved in the appeal
Organisation
The study is divided into four main sections:
biblical foundation of appeal with a view to legal restitution;
historical development of appeal with a view to legal restitution;
fundamental definition of appeal with a view to legal restitution; and practical treatment of appeal with a view to legal restitution. Finally, the research questions born from the problem statement are answered by means of concluding statements. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Church Polity))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

Inconsistencies in the rights of review of the merits of Commonwealth administrative decisionsThackeray, Vincent Gregory Unknown Date (has links)
Government intervention in the financial and social affairs of citizens has increased dramatically in the last fifty years. As a result, government administrative decisions continually affect the everyday lives of people. Many of these decisions are discretionary. Modern administrative law has grown to meet the need for governments, rather than the courts, to supervise the exercise of administrative power so that injustice resulting from misuse of power can be avoided. The merits review system is an integral part of this administrative law. The effectiveness of the merits review system is dependent upon how Parliament makes provision for merits review in the legislative process. The object of this thesis is to analyse and evaluate the effectiveness of the scope of the Commonwealth administrative law merits review system. An evaluation of the availability of rights of review of the merits of Commonwealth administrative decisions will determine the extent to which Commonwealth law provides for merits review of administrative decisions. This thesis makes such an evaluation by undertaking an empirical study of the merits review provisions in Commonwealth legislation. The empirical study analyses 1,070 Commonwealth statutes and establishes that there are 340 statutes that confer power to make a reviewable decision or decisions. However, only 30 percent of these statutes provide for merits review of all reviewable decisions, while 44 percent provide for merits review of some decisions and 26 percent do not provide for merits review of any decisions. Consequently, the empirical study identifies inconsistencies in the provision of merits review of Commonwealth administrative decisions. The Australian parliamentary executive system of government has permitted a breakdown in the legislative drafting process that has allowed these inconsistencies to develop. Moreover, the executive arm of the Commonwealth government has diminished its accountability to Parliament for some of the administrative decisions made by it. A person affected by an unreviewable administrative decision may be treated unjustly as a result.

Co-constructing ethical practices in the workplacePrinsloo, Hendrik Jakobus 01 January 2003 (has links)
This dissertation of limited scope explored via a qualitative reflective approach how pastoral therapy and care practices contributed to workplace transformation and ethics at a factory that had to be restored to profitability.
In Chapter 1, the study's research curiosity questions how pastoral therapy and care practices could inform business in its resistance of workplace trauma and injustice. The epistemology of contextual theology and social constructionism is reviewed in Chapter 2 in its support of the research. Themes and ideas such as; participatory ethical care, ethics,
the prophetic role, narratives, workplace culture, witnessing and participant awareness and empowerment are applied to workplace culture transformation.
Chapter 3 explores the factory's dominant story of low morale, financial loss and feelings of no hope for the future in context of discourses of capitalism. In resistance to the
dominant story, Chapter 4 focuses on practices and experiences that supported the factory's alternative story and Chapter 5 reviews the factory's alternative story in context of purposeful transformation practice.
Chapter 6 concludes the study by reflecting on the research curiosity, the research aims and the researcher's development. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th ((Specialising Past Therapy) Practical Theology)

Doing liberation theology in the context of the Post-Apartheid South AfricaMakhetha, Lesekele Victor 11 1900 (has links)
The author strongly holds- in the thesis- that the Theology of liberation can inspi re the
poor of South Africa to uproot the post-1994 socio-economic and political evil structures
which continue unabated to impoverish them.
The introductory chapter studies the reasons which motivated the author to write the
thesis. It further discusses the method, the format and the limitations of the thesis.
Chapter one focuses on the author's understanding of the Theology of liberation, and its
historical background.
Chapter two discusses the relationship between the Theology of Liberation and black
theology, while chapter three contemplates on the possibility of the creation of what the
author calls, An African Theology of Liberation.
Chapter four studies the relationship between the Theology of liberation and the Social
Teachings of the Catholic Church as taught by the pope and his council. The study of this
relationship is extremely difficult because of the on-going, and seemingly insurmountable
ideological differences between the two parties. The author suggests, as a solutio n, that
each party seriously considers and recognizes the contextual limitations of its theology.
Chapter five focuses on the implementation of the Theology of Liberat ion into the South
African situation. The author highly recommends the inclusion of the veneration of the
ancestors of Africa, as a perfect instrument by means of which the Theology of Liberation
can succeed in achieving one of its major aims, which is to convert the poor to be leaders of
their own liberation.
The concluding chapter suggests concrete ways through which the Theology of Liberation
can be kept alive and relevant within the South African situation. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Theological Ethics)
