Hearing all the drums: towards a more inclusive congregation

HEARING ALL THE DRUMS: TOWARDS A MORE INCLUSIVE CONGREGATION is about
increasing the participation of women in positions of both leadership and church
ministry praxis within the Seventh Day Adventist church in South Africa. Women have
been excluded in the office of elder, and have been generally excluded from preaching
during the worship hour.
The research process followed a participatory way of doing research, while using
theories on social construction and post-modernist epistemological approach. The
theologies that inform this work are contextual in nature and include African and
Feminist theologies. In the pursuit for change, however, care is maintained to use
inclusive practices that attempt to avoid polarising the congregation and their
concomitant theologies. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Pastoral Therapy)
