To reduce Christo-normativity in United States of America schools, most schools tend to only educate teachers about what religious practices are allowed by law. The question we ask is whether a focus ...on structural policies, like law, works. We apply Bourdieu's theory of habitus, capital, and field to discuss the findings from 27 interviews we completed with teachers/administrators. We found that participants tended to fit into five categories related to their awareness of whether they promoted Christo-normativity. Those who were relatively aware were either Apologists or Non-celebrators and those who were less aware were Non-apologists, Promoters, or Deniers. We argue that while structural policies to reduce Christo-normativity in public schools may be effective for Apologists and Non-celebrators, such a policy may be ineffective or resisted among Non-apologists, Promoters or Deniers.
This article maps the theology of Christo van der Merwe as a mobilising theology which aided the Netherdutch Reformed Church in Africa (NRCA) in discerning its character, role and purpose. The core ...of Van der Merwe's theology consists of a journey with God as encountered in the narratives about Jesus and the Spirit told in the Christian Bible. The article shows that the mobilising core of his theology is due to an 'interoperational relationship' between 'knowing and believing'. In the article, the metaphor 'roaming' is used to illustrate this biographical journey as contextual theology which equips pastors with ministerial skills to take care of people who are haunted by trauma.

In the Gold Coast, now Ghana, J.W.E. Appiah, a teacher-catechist, left the missionary-founded Methodist Church for opposing his Afrocentric healing and preaching activities and founded the Musama ...Disco Christo Church in the 1920s. He then took on the prophetic name Jemisimiham Jehu Appiah. He wrote his philosophies to validate an Afrocentric church in the indigenous Fante language. His Church, an African anti-colonialist/anti-colonial establishment, is alive; yet his untranslated writings have remained in obscurity. This study provides a biographical view of Appiah. It translates his writings and interrogates their inner logic as liberation theology that rationalised the salvaging of certain indigenous mores through Afrocentric Christianity to promote a Black Nationalist cultural awareness.
’n Oorlogsboek wat ek in my jong dae gelees het, begin met ’n verjaarsdagviering van die baas van die plaas, die jong Meyndert Bornman. Die perskebome blom pragtig in die boord. Donker rookwolke styg ...op van die voorstoep af waar die ouer mans sit en gesels. Die jong kêrels speel jukskei, die kinders kry gemmerbier en koekies, die grootmense later koffie en selfs glasies wyn. Die Godsman, oom Jakob, praat oor die straf wat ons volk verdien oor ons sondes: strawwe soos sprinkane, droogte, die runderpes en nou die dreigende oorlog. Dis 28 Augustus 1899.

Metaphors for the encounter between God and humanity and a roaming theologian’s reflective journey. This article maps the theology of Christo van der Merwe as a mobilising theology which aided the ...Netherdutch Reformed Church in Africa (NRCA) in discerning its character, role and purpose.

In the broader context of post-secularism and Lombaard’s contributions, needful of philosophy, this minority report lights upon an analytic–post-secular crossover. Here, responding to Lombaard’s ...categorical quest for the ‘religious’, philosophy serves to support greater realism in the discourse of the philosophy/sociology of religion so that we might better consider social, spiritual and philosophical capital. By small means, focusing on ontological, relational, democratic, psychological, social and analytic features of the humble category, it is suggested that an attitude of mitigated realism serves best in relief from suspicious theoretical pasts. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article attempts to demonstrate how post-secular categories like that of the ‘religious’ are enriched in post-analytic engagement with European philosophy and what this might require of theory.
