dc.description.abstract |
This article takes into account the morality crisis in South Africa against the background of the
rich diversity in the country. It deals with the question whether religious and cultural diversity
in particular contributes to moral decay in the community. Different peoples do not only have
different experiences of life, but also different value systems on account of their different
backgrounds and belief systems. They are the products of diverse influences which bring about
different identities and moral orientations. On the one hand this can lead to conflict in societies.
On the other hand, diversity in terms of religion and culture enriches societies. Much depends
on how these differences are managed. Identity and leadership be regarded as two of the most
important elements in the makeup of a prosperous society, especially when it comes to the factor
of morality. Diversity demonstrates a great deal of dynamics in itself. It progressively develops
new forms as people live actively amidst new circumstances and relationships. As the church is
a central player in the field of building moral values, the church has the obligation to re-organise
itself in terms of traditional diversity as well as the current contemporary religious and cultural
experience. |
