The contemporary significance of home based nurturing with reference to wisdom poems in the Book of Proverbs and Shona traditional cultureNdoga, Sampson S. 06 1900 (has links)
There is presumed dialogue between the book of Proverbs and Shona wisdom poems in dealing with the subject of home based nurturing towards societal stability. The underlying principle in both approaches, it seems, is that preparation for life begins in the home. Its negligence could account for societal breakdown. This study seeks to explore, on the one hand, the contemporary validity of home based nurturing as observed in these traditional settings, and on the other, to investigate whether this dialogue yields a methodological approach of using Africa to interpret the Old Testament.
The assumption we are taking in this study is that societal stability begins in the home. A socio-rhetorical reading of Proverbs 1-9 seems to reveal that these texts were written from the perspective of a parent-teacher, with years of experience and attained wisdom, which creates a forum to pass on this knowledge to a child-student. The common approach in both traditional settings is that the speaker employs wisdom poems, (memorable compositions) and local sayings (observed phenomena) to illustrate or illumine a given everyday reality as the prescriptive solution for becoming successful in life. Thus, wisdom poems, both biblical and Shona, are almost consistently used to communicate truth and lessons for life. For that reason, the reading of the book of Proverbs and that of Shona wisdom poems demands a novel hermeneutical approach. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D. Litt. et Phil.

The plight of unwed mothers : a critical study of the social and spiritual repercussions for unwed mothers with reference to Makorora Lutheran Parish in the Tanga District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania North-Eastern Diocese (ELCT-NED).Lumwe, Sabina Kihiyo. January 1998 (has links)
Premarital pregnancies resulting in unwed mothers is a problem within the church and in society.
My hypothesis is that this plight of unwed mothers is not the sole responsibility of the girls but
rather the result of lack of education of the church and the society. Therefore the main objectives
of the research is to investigate. Firstly, to highlight the plight which unwed mothers receive
from the Church and Society. Secondly, to conscientize the Church and the society as to the
severity of the problem and its future implications. Thirdly, to challenge the Church not only to
rethink its present stand as regards discipline, but to seek ways and means to alleviate the
problem of teenage pregnancies. Fourthly, to sensitise all involved in the problem.
An overview of literature and interviews was used to arrive at a broader appreciation of the root
causes of being unwed mother. In depth interview with a small sample of unwed mothers were
interviewed in order to document individual case studies. Church leaders, parents and other
Youths were also interviewed.
The research has found out that there are various factors that lead young women to bear children
out of wedlock. Usually, those young Unwed mothers face severe consequences which impact
negatively on themselves, their families, their children and the Church. To heal their painful
experiences, unwed mother is last resort is to seek relief from the Church. The current Church
practice is to put these unwed mothers under Church discipline.
This research challenges the Church attitude and instead recommend several practical coping
strategies to assist the unwed mothers and to alleviate the problem. These strategies include
pastoral counselling and care, educational activities such as organisation of educational seminars
and workshops and the publication of youth magazines in order to educate young people and
society on his matter. / Thesis (M.Theol.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1998.

Vaterschaft, christliche Erziehung und Rituale : ein gemeindepädagogischer Beitrag zur Reflexion und Förderung christlicher Vaterschaft / Paternity, christian education and rituals : a contribution to the reflection and promotion of christian paternity through church educationGroezinger, Stefan Alexander 30 November 2005 (has links)
Der Vater stellt eine gewichtige gesellschaftliche Größe dar. Er ist neben der Mutter der bedeutendste Sozialisationsagent der frühen Kindheit. Er ist der Zeugende, wird Vater zu dem Zeitpunkt, zu dem die Frau das Kind zur Welt bringt. Eine soziale Rolle ,,Vaterschaft"
entwickelt sich hieraus jedoch erst dadurch, dass er bestimmte Aufgaben, die sich im
Zusammenhang mit dem Kind ergeben, erfüllt.
Die Ausführungen nähern sich diesem überaus vielschichtigen Komplex ,,Vater" dermaßen,
dass das Zusammenwirken von Vater und Kind als Interaktion aufgefasst wird und die Bedeutung des Vaters als Modell für das Kind dargestellt wird. ,,Christliche Erziehung" und
,,Rituale" sind die beiden anderen Dimensionen dieser Arbeit und erfahren durch das Thema
,,Vater" ihre inhaltliche Zuspitzung. Eine empirische Untersuchung von Vätern zu diesen
Themen mittels Fragebogen ergänzt die theoretische Perspektive. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat das Ziel, die drei angedeuteten Spannungsfelder aufzugreifen, zusammenzudenken und als praktisch-theologische Arbeit einen Beitrag zur Reflexion und Förderung christlicher Vaterschaft zu leisten. / The father represents an important figure in society. Together with the mother he is the most important socialization-agent of early childhood. He is involved in the act of procreation and finally becomes father at the time his wife gives birth to their child. However, a social role "paternity" develops only through the fact that he fulfills certain tasks which are connected with the child. The dissertation approaches the extremely multilayered and complex subject "father" as follows: the cooperation between father and child is understood as interaction. The father´s role as model for the child is described. "Christian education" and "rituals" with regard to the topic "father" are the two other dimensions of this dissertation. An empirical survey of fathers about these topics by means of a questionnaire supplements the theoretical perspective.
This Master-Dissertation would like to deal with the three mentioned areas, and - as
practical-theological thesis - contribute to the reflection and promotion of Christian
paternity. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Practical theology)
