Book Synopsis The Dutch Reformed Women's Missionary Movement from the Cape and the Mt Holyoke Connection by : Robert Dana
Download or read book The Dutch Reformed Women's Missionary Movement from the Cape and the Mt Holyoke Connection written by Robert Dana and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reinterprets the history of South African Dutch Reformed missions as a women's movement. It traces American women missionaries from Mt. Holyoke College who went to southern Africa in the late 1800s to teach Dutch Reformed girls. Dutch Reformed women then formed a missionary network to send the educated women throughout southern Africa, and into Malawi and Zimbabwe. Missionary women modeled a combination of education and piety that inspired African church women's leadership and enabled Reformed churches to spread throughout the region. Not only does the book show how American women introduced a distinctive missionary piety into Reformed missions, but it also places women at the center of southern African mission history.
Book Synopsis For the Sake of Christian Marriage, Abolish Church Weddings by : Klaus Fiedler

This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decades, an ever-growing gap has developed between traditional marriage and the officiation of it as a church wedding, because of the expenses involved in a "proper" church wedding. These are not demanded by the churches, but by common social expectations. Irrespective of whether a church sees marriage as a sacrament or as a civil order, much emphasis is put on it, by the churches and by society. Many churches exclude those "not properly married" from the sacraments. But why should the churches put so much emphasis on their church wed-dings, a ritual not found in the New Testament, and which came into the church only almost a thousand years later?

Book Synopsis Crossroads of Culture by : Eric Lindland
Download or read book Crossroads of Culture written by Eric Lindland and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining history, ethnography, and culture theory, this book explores how residents in northwestern Malawi have responded over time to the early missionary assertion that local religious and healing practices were incompatible with Christianity and western medicine. It details how local agents, in the past and today, have constructed new cultural forms that weave facets of ancestral spiritualism and divination with Christianity and biomedicine. Alongside a rich historical review of the late-19th century encounter between Tumbuka-speakers and the Scottish Presbyterians of the Livingstonia Mission, the book explores the contemporary therapeutic dance complex known as Vimbuza and considers two case studies, each the story of a man confronting illness and struggling to understand the roots and meaning of his a?iction. In the process, the book considers the enduring missiological and anthropological topics of conversion and syncretism, and questions the assertion by some scholars that Western missionaries in Africa have been successful agents of religious hegemony.

Book Synopsis Montfortians in Malawi by : Reijnaerts, Hubert
Download or read book Montfortians in Malawi written by Reijnaerts, Hubert and published by Luviri Press. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common misconception found in popular, and even some scholarly, literature is that "the missionaries" are a homogeneous category about whom it is easy to make broad generalisations. When a more accurate appraisal of the role of missionaries in Malawi and elsewhere will be reached when each partiular missionary initiative is subjected to critial study. This work fills a gap in our knowledge of the Catholic missions since it is the viewpoint of the White Fathers which predominates in the seminal work of K. and J. Linden, Catholics, Peasants, and Chewa Resistance in Nyasaland 1889-1939. It intends to identify, assess, and evaluate the Montfortian spirituality and charism by examining, as far as possible within the context of their times, the lives and works of the three Montfortian pioneers in Malawi and their successors.
