dc.description.abstract |
This article seeks to present challenges of negotiating difference and diversity in Christian
communities in South Africa today. It reflects the intersectional nature of racial, gender, ethnic
and economic difference, and ways in which land, capital and other power constructs continue
to underpin and deepen exclusion. It then considers the status of diversity in Christian
communities highlighting ways in which the fault lines in society are running through
Christian communities, and how such communities almost spontaneously engage in ‘othering’
more naturally than in ‘embracing’. The article proposes the re-conceptualisation of diversity
within the bigger South African project of socio-economic transformation, and that the
conversation about difference and diversity in Christian communities should be brought into
dialogue with critical diversity theory, which considers diversity in relation to equity, human
rights and social justice. Finally, the article provides an overview of the contributions that form
part of this collection of articles, tracing how a number of Christian communities seek to
negotiate diversity and difference ecclesially and theologically. |
