dc.description.abstract |
A transforming spirituality is needed to attend to the ‘third-millennial needs’ of Africa to
address issues such as relationships (tribal wars, genocide, ISIS, etc.), globalisation
([new]-colonisation and urbanisation), ecology (industrialisation and rhino or elephant
poaching) and social issues (the poor, women and children). It is argued that reformed theology,
African spiritualities and a spirituality of creation need to be enriched by each other to bring
about transformation in Africa. To discover a transforming spirituality of creation, participants
need to listen to the different spiritualities and beliefs, without attempting to create a metanarrative.
Participants need to acknowledge the differences and even tensions, and embrace
these. As such, this article attends to the research question, how can a dialogue between
reformed theology and spirituality of creation help to establish a transforming spirituality
based on common values for the diverse African continent in ‘our third-millennial world’?
CONTRIBUTION : From a multidisplinary theological perspective, the article deals with ‘historical
thought’ regarding spirituality and creation. This includes both the textual history from
Christianity and oral history from Africa. A missional hermeneutics is used to bring different
traditions and beliefs together. |
