African ministers and the emergence of resistance to colonial domination : the development of indigenous clergy in the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Zimbabwe from 1891 to 1980.Gondongwe, Kennedy. January 2011 (has links)
This study is a critical assessment of the degree of political consciousness of the Zimbabwean Wesleyan Methodist indigenous ministers from 1891 to 1980. It documents the nature of the domination that the Wesleyan Methodist indigenous ministers experienced. It also documents and analyses how the indigenous ministers responded to the domination. The study relies upon primary documents from the National Archives of Zimbabwe, the Methodist Connexional Archives and other private archives. Information found in these archives includes minutes of synods, minutes of quarterly meetings, minutes of conferences, ministers' personal files and many other documents. The thesis also depends on interviews and other secondary material relevant to the study.
Additionally, this thesis explores the training of the indigenous ministers. It emerges that the theological training of the indigenous ministers brought about some form of political radicalism. This was strengthened by the fact that the stipends and working conditions were not attractive. This thesis argues that the indigenous ministers had no clear position with regard to the significance of African culture. They oscillated between its rejection and acceptance. When they were politically inspired they rejected African culture to embrace it when it seemed expedient to do. It is further observed that the indigenous ministers contributed immensely to the liberation struggle.
Using, Of Revelation and Revolution, Peasant Consciousness, Domination and the Arts of Resistance and Savage Systems as theoretical frameworks, this thesis concludes that the level of political consciousness of the indigenous ministers increased phenomenally in the second half of the 20th century. This was because of a number of reasons including the role played by mission churches in education, the impact of the Second World War, and adherence to certain constructions of John Wesley particularly those with liberation emphasis and many more. It also emerges that, although the political consciousness of the indigenous clergy was high, quite a number of them oscillated between two poles of patriotism and expediency. Put differently, the indigenous clergy were sometimes ambivalent in terms of what they adhered to. This was particularly so in cases to do with African culture. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2011.

The journal of the Reverend William Impey, 1838-1847 : a critical study of his work and theologyOwen, David Rhys January 1993 (has links)
William Impey (1818-1896) came to South Africa as a Wesleyan Methodist Missionary in 1839. He held various missionary and colonial appointments until 1860 when he succeeded William Shaw as Chairman of the Albany and Kaffraria District and General Superintendent of Wesleyan Methodist Missions in South-East Africa. Impey's major contribution was in the provision of education for the indigenous peoples of this region, especially as President of Healdtown (1868-1878). This institution eventually became one of the most highly thought of mission education academies in South Africa. To date little has been known of the life and work of William Impey despite his senior position in South African Wesleyan Methodism. J Whiteside's History of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of South Africa, the last comprehensive history of South African Methodism, published in 1906, only devotes a few lines to Impey. He does however make further reference to Impey's work in his section on education. The Methodist Archive at Manchester University, which contains the personal records of all 19th century Wesleyan Methodist ministers, also has very little information about Impey. The reason for this relative lack of information is that he resigned from the Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1878 on doctrinal grounds. Impey came under the influence of 19th century liberal theology and eventually drew the conclusion that he could no longer accept the doctrine of 'eternal punishment'. He believed that the only honest thing for him to do was to resign from the Wesleyan Methodist Church, which he believed required its ministers to adhere to this doctrine. He was accepted for ordination by the Anglican Church and served as a deacon in 1878 and then as a priest until his death in 1896. Impey's journal affords the reader an opportunity to have a glimpse into what life was like for a 19th century missionary living and working in South Africa. Perhaps its particular value lies in the many detailed entries Impey made about his personal spiritual experiences. The aim of this thesis is to place the life's work of William Impey in its historical and theological context in the belief that this will enable us better to understand the 19th century missionaries. It is hoped that this study will make a further contribution to our understanding of both 19th century missionaries and the times in which they lived and worked.

Termination of mission : an exit strategy for the Wesleyan mission of AfricaCameron, Lindsay Logan 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation develops an exit strategy for missions, drawing upon the experience of the Wesleyan Church in Africa. This is approached in four sections: a literature review, a summary of Wesleyan mission work in Africa, a model for mission work that has been developed within the Wesleyan Church, and applications of the model. The model proposes five stages through which the work of missions progresses: the development of converts, disciples, pastors, leaders and partners. The fourth chapter includes a discussion of related models: the Three Eras of Missions and the Two Types of Missions. At the completion of the 5 Stages of Missions the establishment of a mature national church, fully engaged in international missions and international church leadership, has been achieved. This dissertation concludes that final departure may not be necessary for all missionaries. However, complete handover of leadership is essential. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

The 1978 Methodist Schism in Transkei : a missiological analysisLungu, Maxwell Themba. 11 1900 (has links)
In 1977 the Annual Conference of the Methodist Church of South Africa (MCSA) decided to
discontinue its practice of sending messages of goodwill to the Heads of State of the Southern
African region (including Transkei). The Prime Minister ofTranskei interpreted this resolution
as implying the non-recognition ofTranskeian political independence, obtained from the Republic
of South Africa in 1976, and expressed his intention to ban the MCSA in Transkei and replace it
by the Methodist Church of Transkei (MCT)
The thesis presents, in narrative form (Chapter 2), a detailed description of the process of
the schism ( 12 January 1978 to 2 June 1978). Chapter 3 analyses the political and ecclesial
context of the schism comprehensively by examining three main issues: the Methodist tradition
in the Eastern Cape and Transkei, the Methodist tradition of pledging loyalty to the Head of State
and the emergence of Transkei as a geo-political state.
Chapter 4 focuses on the reaction of the Transkeian Methodists to the dispute between
the Transkeian Government and the MCSA. The loyalties which influenced their reaction are
identified and analysed. In this study the whole process of the schism is seen as an interplay
between and clash of different loyalties.
Chapter 5 reviews the different models and typologies used to explain and interpret the
African Independent/Initiated Church movement. The aim is to identify the elements in these
models which are relevant for an understanding of this schism.
Chapter 6 concludes the study by considering five areas of missiological importance
highlighted by the 1978 Methodist schism in Transkei, namely: ( 1) the research questions, (2)
mission and unity, (3) mission and ethnic issues, (4) prophetic mission, and (5) prophetic
ambivalence. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)
