The importance of dress in Christian worship: some missiological implicationsKizito, Joseph 30 June 2002 (has links)
Dress plays an important role in Christian worship. The aim of this study is to describe the
importance of dress in the South African Christian context. particularly within the Black
Christian society. Two main ideas are covered: firstly. the emphasis on the use of unifonn
as a factor influencing worship attendance and secondly, how a uniform affects the quality
of worship.
Personal investigations into various church groups in the Eastern Cape, particularly the St
Anna Sodality, have indicated that specific uniforms are an essential sign of belonging to a
particular church. Dress or uniforms also serve as a reminder of people's commitment to
their faith. For some groups, a uniform develops a sense of identity, security and
fellowship which may have been lost through past political policies. Most importantly the
relationship between worship and dress can bring a transformative assertion of the self
before God and fellow human beings / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

An appraisal of the spirituality of Methodist women in post apartheid South AfricaPreston, Anne 31 December 2007 (has links)
This thesis will examine the issues of women's spirituality, suffering, their survival in the midst of suffering. These issues will be examined in the context of a post-apartheid South Africa within a Christian framework looking at issues of faith and spirituality. More particularly the Methodist church will be examined, looking at key aspects of its spirituality and how that might have contributed and provided for its women. Two of the Methodist Women's organisations, the Women's Manyano and the Women's Auxiliary will be looked at; their history and significant aspects of their programmes and structures that have led them to be important places for the women who are part of them. The thesis will seek to determine how the Methodist Women's organisations have impacted the spirituality of two women especially when they have gone through difficult times. The lives of these two women are examined through conversations the author has with them. In particular the author will examine particular circumstances of these women and seek to set them against a background of their spirituality and in particular whether their particular Methodist organisation played any role during this time. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.
