Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Occupation of Africa: The Proceedings of a Conference of Mission Boards Engaged in Work in the Continent of Africa, Held in New York City, November 20, 21, and 22, 1917, Together With the Findings of the Conference The Chairman: A religious convention was being held a while ago at which one of the speakers remarked, We ought to do something for the poor. Whereupon an enthusiastic man in the audience rose and said, I propose that we give them three cheers. We are gathered here in order that we may do something for the poor - the Lord's poor, the poorest of the poor, a whole continent of men who have been passed by and neglected more than any other people of the earth. We meet to give them good cheer, but it is the cheer not of words but of definite, practical plans looking to their betterment. I think we meet in the consciousness that more than of our fellow beings may be benefited by what God may say to us and lead us to do as Societies engaged in missionary work in behalf of the A'fricans. I want that we shall feel the presence of that dusky multitude in all of our deliberations, as well as the presence of the invisible Father and Friend. At this point the chairman read the following letter from Mr. J. H. Oldham, Secretary of the Edinburgh Continuation Committee, which he commended as most timely and as an appropriate introduction to the Conference.

Book excerpt: This book re-presents the poetry of Rudyard Kipling in the form of bold slogans, the better for us to reappraise the meaning and import of his words and his art. Each line or phrase is thrust at the reader in a manner that may be inspirational or controversial... it is for the modern consumer of this recontextualization to decide. They are words to provoke: to action. To inspire. To recite. To revile. To reconcile or reconsider the legacy and benefits of colonialism. Compiled and presented by sloganist Dick Robinson, three poems are included, complete and uncut: 'White Man's Burden', 'Fuzzy-Wuzzy' and 'If'.

Download or read book Making African Christianity written by Robert J. Houle and published by Lehigh University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making African Christianity argues that Africans successfully naturalized Christianity. It examines the long history of the faith among colonial Zulu Christians (known as amaKholwa) in what would become South Africa. As it has become clear that Africans are not discarding Christianity, a number of scholars have taken up the challenge of understanding why this is the case and how we got to this point. While functionalist arguments have their place, this book argues that we need to understand what is imbedded within the faith that many find so appealing. Houle argues that other aspects of the faith also needed to be 'translated,'particularly the theology of Christianity. For Zulu, the religion would never be a good fit unless converts could fill critical gaps such as how Christianity could account for the active and everyday presence of the amadhlozi ancestral spirits - a problem that was true for African converts across the continent in slightly different ways. Accomplishing this translation took years and a number of false-starts. Coming to this understanding is one of the particularly important contributions of this work, for like Benedict Anderson's 'Imagined Communities,' the early African Christian communities were entirely constructed ones. Here was a group struggling to understand what it meant to be both African and Christian. For much of their history this dual identity was difficult to reconcile, but through constant struggle to do so they transformed both themselves and their adopted faith. This manuscript goes far in filling a critical gap in how we have gotten to this point and will be welcomed by African historians, those interested in the history of colonialism, missions, southern African, and in particular Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Africa Rediviva: Or the Occupation of Africa by Christian Missionaries of Europe and North America In the course of the compilation of my two volumes of the Modern Languages of Africa, I became so interested in that country, that I proposed to write two additional volumes, one on the Political Scramble for Africa, and the second on the Missionary Occupation of Africa. The scramble has this year come to an end, but in the interim it has been described by most competent authors, so I pass it by: the second subject remains mine and mine only. The great majority of writers would not notice the Missionary Occupation at all, and, if any Protestant and Roman Catholic friend of Missions has turned his attention to the subject, each has absolutely ignored, or undervalued, the work of his great Rival. I am tall enough to look over the barrier, only breast-high, which separates earnest Christian workers. My book is compiled in a Catholic spirit of sincere love to all earnest Christian work, but the criticisms on methods employed is none the less severe, because in my opinion it is required : there are several radical errors which must be eradicated. The Church of Rome must leave off the purchase of slave boys and girls to found Congregations, and the Protestants must adopt in the Equatorial Regions Brotherhoods and Sisterhoods, as the only effective and lasting machinery, if they wish to make any impression.

Download or read book Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa written by Chima Jacob Korieh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa aims to explore the ways Christianity and colonialism acted as hegemonic or counter hegemonic forces in the making of African societies. As Western interventionist forces, Christianity and colonialism were crucial in establishing and maintaining political, cultural, and economic domination. Indeed, both elements of Africa's encounter with the West played pivotal roles in shaping African societies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume uses a wide range of perspectives to address the intersection between missions, evangelism, and colonial expansion across Africa. The contributors address several issues, including missionary collaboration with the colonizing effort of European powers; disagreements between missionaries and colonizing agents; the ways in which missionaries and colonial officials used language, imagery, and European epistemology to legitimize relations of inequality with Africans; and the ways in which both groups collaborated to transform African societies. Thus, Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa transcends the narrow boundaries that often separate the role of these two elements of European encounter to argue that missionary endeavours and official colonial actions could all be conceptualized as hegemonic institutions, in which both pursued the same civilizing mission, even if they adopted different strategies in their encounter with African societies.

Download or read book Global Christianity and the Black Atlantic written by Andrew E. Barnes and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Europeans saw Africa's colonization as an exhibition of European racial ascendancy. African Christians saw Africa's subjugation as a demonstration of European technological superiority. If the latter was the case, then the path to Africa's liberation ran through the development of a competitive African technology. In Global Christianity and the Black Atlantic, Andrew E. Barnes chronicles African Christians' turn to American-style industrial education--particularly the model that had been developed by Booker T. Washington at Alabama's Tuskegee Institute--as a vehicle for Christian regeneration in Africa. Over the period 1880-1920, African Christians, motivated by Ethiopianism and its conviction that Africans should be saved by other Africans, proposed and founded schools based upon the Tuskegee model. Barnes follows the tides of the Black Atlantic back to Africa when African Christians embraced the new education initiatives of African American Christians and Tuskegee as the most potent example of technological ingenuity. Building on previously unused African sources, the book traces the movements to establish industrial education institutes in cities along the West African coast and in South Africa, Cape Province, and Natal. As Tuskegee and African schools modeled in its image proved, peoples of African descent could--and did--develop competitive technology. Though the attempts by African Christians to create industrial education schools ultimately failed, Global Christianity and the Black Atlantic demonstrates the ultimate success of transatlantic black identity and Christian resurgence in Africa at the turn of the twentieth century. Barnes' study documents how African Christians sought to maintain indigenous identity and agency in the face of colonial domination by the state and even the European Christian missions of the church.
