dc.description.abstract |
The Presbytery of Zimbabwe (POZ) of the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa
(UPCSA) has been affected by a drastic exodus of members to African Independent Churches,
which is taking advantage of its spiritual weaknesses in its missional endeavour. The spiritual
weaknesses which the people of the POZ experiences are a product of the evangelical mode
of mission in Zimbabwean society and the failure by both foreign and local personnel to
contextualise the Good News. This article considers the possibility of correcting this state
of affairs. The central issue addressed is how to understand the context and achieve the
necessary change. |
