During the period 1939 -1996 the Anglican Diocese of Pretoria sponsored Missions in disadvantaged
commun ies served by the Church. Socio-economic factors were largely responsible for the situation
of disempowered communities which lacked adequate resources in the spheres of education, healing
and commundevelopment This dissertation deals with Ekutuleni as a first model for later Missions in
the Diocese. The Mission at Sophiatown was established in 1927 and has ever since provided a
paradigm for the Anglican Chunch's involvement with disad.vantaged communities of the Transvaal.
The Chunch was able through the Work of Ekutuleni to meet the needs of the people of Sophiatown.
In 1939 Tumelong Mission was established by the Anglican Church at Lady Selbome, Pretoria. The
work of the Mission is evaluated against the background of the Anglican Church in the Diocese of
Pretoria. The dissertation puts Tumelong ir1 the context of the communities of Mabopane, Temba and
Ga-Rankuwa. Finally it puts Tumelong in the wider context of missions in the Transvaal. / Theology / Th. M. (Church History)
