Steve Bantu Biko: Politician, 'Historian' and 'Proponent' of African Traditional ReligionSogiba, Zolile Sydney January 1996 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves 129-135. / The topic is "Steve Bantu Biko: Politician, 'Historian' and 'Proponent' of African Traditional Religion". It is known by everybody that Steve Bantu Biko was a politician. This has been revealed by his teachings, what his contemporaries have written and by his commitment to the course of the struggle. He displayed a commitment to the struggle for freedom of the oppressed blacks in South Africa. His ideology was 'Black Consciousness' which was a threat to the regime and an affirmation and a creation of true humanity for the oppressed. What became clear is the fact that there is a difference between a politician and a freedom fighter. To describe him as a freedom fighter is more appropriate than a politician. He was denied free political activity by the apartheid regime which clamped down on all opponents labelling them as 'un-Christian', 'heretic', 'rebels', 'agitators' and 'terrorists'. The 'Black Consciousness' ideology was viewed by the state as subversive. The question arises, how could a person who encouraged black community programmes and black unity be regarded as a terrorist? Fear from the whites of a black majority government is the cause for such an attitude. He was indeed a man of peace, an activist and not a terrorist. It has been noticeable that politics, history and religion are inseparable. This is a response to those who wonder what politics has to do with religion.

Black theology : challenge to missionKritzinger, J. N. J. (Johannes Nicolaas Jacobus), 1950- 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis proposes that Christian mission in South Africa
should be understood in terms of liberation. To achieve this aim,
the author listens attentively to Black Theology, and then
responds from a position of solidarity to the double challenge
which it poses: a negation of traditional mission and an affirmation
of liberating mission. Since black theologians grapple with
the concrete implications of their blackness, a white theologian
needs to make a consciously white =esponse in order to do justice
to it.
Since Black Theology emerged out of the Black Consciousness
movement and developed in dialogue with it, the study begins with
an examination of the theory and praxis of the Black Consciousness
movement. Then follows an overview of the two phases of
Black Theology in South Africa, in which the emphasis is placed
on the organisations and events which embodied this approach,
rather than on individual theologians.
In the systematic analysis of Black Theology, attention is first
given to the element of negation. In this section the five inte=related
dimensions of South African Christianity which cause
black suffering are examined. Then an analysis is made of the
element of affirmation: the liberating action proposed by black
theologians for the eradication of suffering and the attainment
of new human beings in a new South Africa. Since Black Theology
has an holistic understanding of mission, attention is given to
personal, ecclesial and societal dimensions.
The final section is a white response to this double challenge.
First, it develops the notion of liberating mission and conversian in the white community. Secondly it establishes a number of
fundamental criteria for liberating mission. This final part
draws conclusions from the analysis done in the earlier parts,
and asks critical questions about some aspects of Black Theology.
In this way the basis is laid for white involvement in liberating
mission and for ongoing interaction with Black Theology. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)

"Incwala sacred ceremony" as a challenge to missionMabuza, Comfort 04 1900 (has links)
This dissertation aims to critically evaluate the Incwala Sacred Ceremony
and its relevancy to Ancestral Veneration in the life of the Swazi Nation.
Swazis to a greater extent are believed to be quite obsessed about their
cultural heritage. They view this cultural event as sacred and very
important in their national unity and pride of being a sovereign entity. They
religiously observe this rite as an integral part of their cultural heritage and
see it as a vital glue that holds together the national unity and cements the
eternity of the Swazis' existence. Celebrating and commemorating this
sacred festival can be equated to what Christians do when celebrating and
observing Good Friday or Holy Easter. It could also be related to the
Islamic Pilgrimage to Mecca.
Swazis are strongly connected to their Ancestral Veneration. It is
inculcated in their core system of beliefs and is part of their lives because
it tends to shape their religious view, as well as moulding it. The Supreme
God (Mvelinchanti) is believed to have spoken to the founding fathers of
the nation about how the nation ought to conduct its affairs (in different
forms through visions and dreams). Hence there is a deeply held view that
the departed kings and the forefathers are believed to be alive and closer
to that very Supreme God. According to this long held view the dead are
asleep and are continually involved in directing the affairs of the nation.
Indeed they decide on blessings, health and life of the living. It is embedded in the subconscious mind of Swazis that the living dead
(emadloti, labaphasi or labalele) continually influence the affairs of the
nation and any given family; hence they need to be consulted from time to
time.
Emadloti are the mediators between human beings and God and they
can be contacted through the spiritual mediums. The national elders and
advisors to the Monarchy,1 as well as traditional medicine persons (muti)
people (Tinyanga and Tangoma), are there as custodians of the Incwala
Ceremony. In any given family, emadloti (ancestors) are consulted in
times of marriages, new births and any other eventualities that may befall
that family. In the life and worldview of Swazis, nothing just happens
without any involvement and sanction of the ancestors. In fact, for
anything to happen in the life of a Swazi, there must be a supernatural
cause or reason, hence in the very core of foundational beliefs there are
involvements of the supernatural powers and the forces believed to be
operational. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Specialization in Urban Ministry)

The impact of religious conversion on cultural identity conversion story South African Anglican Indian ChrstiansJohn, Arun Andrew 28 February 2007 (has links)
The impact of religious conversion on cultural identity is a study of conversion story
of South African Indian Anglican Christians rooted in the oppressive history of
casteism in India and Racism in South Africa.
This study has used multi discipline approach using various schools of human
sciences and broader theological framework in dealing with moral and ethical issues.
This study defends the religious conversions and highlights the impact it has made on
cultural identity of converts from social, economic, psychological and spiritual
perspectives.
While highlighting the positive impact of religious conversion on cultural identity this
study has also pointed out some ambiguities attached to this process.
This study looks into the possibilities of Native and Indian Christians working
together to create a healing culture in South Africa. An attempt is made to point out
the interrelatedness of the experiences of suffering of Native Christians and Indian
Christians from indentured backgrounds in South Africa.
This study does not cover disparity issues between native Africans and the Indian
Community in South Africa. However, an attempt is made to encourage Indian
Christians in South Africa to connect with the pain and pathos of poor communities in
South Africa. This study encourages the Indian Christians hi South Africa to read
Dalit theology and get involved with Black theologians in formulating appropriate
mission praxis for their mission and ministry in post apartheid South Africa.
This study concludes on a positive note and hope based on my eight years of ministry
in Lenasia. During my ministry I had experienced that South African Anglican Indian
Christians and native Christians have the developing ability and capacity to become a
spiritual resource in building a transformed and transforming society in South Africa.
I could see in them a reconciled 'wounded healers' and for me this is a powerful
impact of religious conversion on their cultural identity, "Victims' now have the
capacity to act as 'Wounded Healers'. / Religious Studies & Arabic / D.Th. (Religious Studies)
