1	Heteroscleromorph demosponge taxonomy and diversity of the Amathole region (Eastern Cape, South Africa) Payne, Robyn Pauline January 2022 (has links) Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Sponges are functionally important and ubiquitous components of the global marine benthos. South Africa accounts for roughly 4% of the global marine sponge diversity, comprising 374 described species and seven varieties/forms, with elevated apparent endemism (59.3%). However, an estimated 900 sponge species are thought to be undescribed, and much work is needed to update and expand our knowledge of the South African sponge fauna. The Amathole region is situated offshore of the Amathole District, around the city of East London, on the south-east coast of South Africa.

2	Giving and stewardship in border black Baptist churches Zanekile, Nkolelo 20 September 2011 (has links) In this thesis, the Researcher argues that the Border Black Baptist Churches form two-thirds of the membership of the Border Baptist in the Association. The researcher is concerned that they are growing in numbers but declining in finances. This problem is affecting the body of Jesus Christ locally, nationally and globally. It does not end there but the Great Commission (Matt 28:16-20) has also been affected. My personal interest is to show that Border Black Baptist Churches are not necessarily poor but need some kind of profound teaching and motivation. It means that in the Border/Amathole region we need self-propagating, self-supporting, self-governing and self- theologizing within our own culture. We need to see that the tithing system is God’s plan for giving. It is instituted by God and encompasses His promises, only if we obey Him. In the Border Black Baptist Churches there is also a need to see that freewill offerings are part and parcel of God’s plan for financial giving and stewardship. It means that giving to God must be seen as Creation, Sowing and Reaping Principles. My research methodology includes interviews, questionnaires and study of the relevant literature. The reason for this research is to bring clarity about financial giving and stewardship in these Churches. The whole purpose is to see financially matured Border Black Baptist Churches in this region. / Dissertation (MA(Theol))--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Practical Theology / unrestricted Ubuntu Mammon Bba Baptist union churches Border baptist association Spirituality Baptist union of southern africa Bu Busa Guiding principle Dependency syndrome Tithing Case study Principle Theology Bivocational ministry Budget Giving Stewardship Amathole region UCTD
