Migrant churches and missional praxis
In the wake of Zimbabwe's economic decline, precipitated by political and economic instability, a significant number of Zimbabweans migrated to South Africa in search of improved opportunities. Migrant churches, particularly the Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) Shona-speaking assemblies, emerged as crucial venues for spiritual expression, community building, and mission activities. This study investigates the historical context and establishment of …
Holy Spirit Online
E-megachurches represent a fundamental transformation in how religious communities form and function, moving from geographically bounded physical congregations to digitally mediated networks that transcend traditional spatial limitations. In this article, I argue that while the megachurch concept has historical roots in modern Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, advent of digital technology provided platforms for their transformation in scale …
“School Parenting”
Mentoring is generally understood as having a positive impact on people and society. The informal system of youth mentoring among Senior High School students in Ghana is referred to in this essay as “school parenting”. This exploratory study uses Kram’s (1983:613–622) model of mentoring to investigate “school parenting,” which is discussed based on the following findings: (a) students’ experience of “school parenting” in light of Kram’s mentoring…
Global Warning
Purpose This purpose of this study is to examine the educational impact of Global Warning, a climate change–themed board game that blends cooperative and competitive elements to foster transformative learning, critical reflection and systems thinking. Design/methodology/approach A pre/post-treatment design was used to compare a treatment group – who played Global Warning during four weekly sessions – to a control group with no gameplay. Participa…
Insect collecting with K-12 aged students
Insects have long been integral to youth science education both in K-12 classrooms and in informal learning contexts due to their diversity, accessibility, and ecological importance. Collecting and studying insects helps students develop key scientific skills such as observation, classification, and inquiry. However, with the rise of conservation movements and ethical considerations regarding animal rights, the practice of insect collecting has c…
Economic and financial impacts of working from home and Covid-19 on the British public transport system
The Covid pandemic from 2020 has affected transport systems worldwide. The British case is examined, drawing on extensive publicly-available data to describe not only impacts on ridership, but also changes in service output, public expenditure, and some indicators of productivity, with particular emphasis on the rail system, and local buses within England outside London. Expectations that the peak would’flatten out’—resulting from the pandemic an…
Journey of a Reformed scholar and emerging Pentecostal
This article explores the transformative journey of the author, a Pentecostal theologian, within the Reformed academic environment of the University of Pretoria. Central to this narrative is the mentorship and hospitality of Prof. Nelus Niemandt, who was then the Moderator of the Dutch Reformed Church. Despite our differing theological backgrounds, Prof. Niemandt exemplified ecumenical leadership by hosting me during my PhD studies, fostering an …
The Implementation of Henry Venn's Three-self Mission Model in Contemporary African Church
The study analyses Henry Venn's Three-Self Mission Model's influence on the Vision 3000 church planting initiative of the Assemblies of God Ghana (2015–2019). Rooted in AOGG's historical commitment to the 3S mission model, also applied to Vision 3000's operation. Through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and thorough archival analysis, the study examines how the principles of self-governance, self-propagation, and self-support shaped both…

Reimagining Mission in and from Africa
The activities of mainline Western missionaries in Africa have been discussed by scholars from various perspectives, but much attention has not been given to mission organizations that are not affiliated with any denomination. This article therefore focuses on the work and mission approach of Operation Mobilisation (OM) in Africa. The article is based on empirical data gathered through interviews with twelve OM country leaders in Southern Africa …
Mission to the Wounded Youth
The article forms part of a broader research project that investigated Scripture Union’s (SU) missional responses to the wounded youth. It discusses SU’s evangelistic response to the youth in the senior high schools in Kumasi through their campus ministry. The article seeks to answer the following question: What evangelistic strategies are used by Scripture Union in responding to the needs of the senior high school (SHS) students in Kumasi? Empir…
Missional Church and the Healing of Memories
This article explores the role of the church in addressing the emotional and spiritual needs of individuals and communities, particularly in the context of African Pentecostalism. The article argues that the church is called to actively engage with its surrounding culture and to bring healing and restoration to those who have experienced trauma or pain. In the African Pentecostal context, this often involves addressing issues related to cultural …
A Journey into Other Faiths
We live in a world of diversity, and so it is with people’s religious beliefs and how they approach their religious practices in relation to a deity and their social and relational lives. Bible history has taught us that God has always allowed religious diversity. The biggest threat to the world is not poverty, health, and economic challenges but rather religious intolerance, the fear of compromising our faith, bias, and prejudice about other fai…
Proclaiming the gospel in an interfaith environment
Proclaiming the gospel (Christian witnessing) in an interfaith environment is an increasingly critical concern for Christians in today’s globalised society. This article intends to explore a missiological and ecumenical approach to address the challenge of sharing the message of Christ in multi-religious contexts. Drawing on missiological and ecumenical perspectives, the article makes suggestions on how Christians can engage with members of other…
Ubuntu Justice and African Truth and Reconciliation Commission
This article examines some of the missiological problems of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), taking into consideration the theological and missiological concepts of forgiveness, reconciliation, and justice. The article proposes the Ubuntu Justice conceptâ€TMs viability as a missiological framework with which to respond to the activities of the TRC. The article further explores the methodology and the goal of public hea…

Pentecostal spirituality in the context of faith and hope gospel (prosperity preaching)
Covid‐19 has challenged humanity in several ways and has created the opportunity for reflection on our spirituality and the hope for divine healing of the world, while scientific communities do their best to find solutions to the pandemic from their perspective. In light of this, the article seeks to address issues of spirituality in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic and how the Pentecostal community is responding to this challenge through the…
Church-Franchise
The great commission, as traditionally understood in Christendom, has been the core basis for church growth. Passion for the lost, evangelism outreach, conversions, and baptism followed by congregating, have culminated in church establishments. Pentecostals, especially the Neo-Pentecostal and Neo-Prophetic Churches have attracted huge crowds. The thrust towards fulling the Missio Dei has seen micro-Neo-Pentecostal Churches and Neo-Prophetic Churc…
Religion, culture, and development
We cannot realistically discuss development without factoring religion into the analysis. In the same way, we cannot design any economic development plan without acknowledging the influence of religion on its implementation. The fact is that, many economic development policies require a change from old values, attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of the citizenry to those that are supportive of the new policy. Religious practices and beliefs…
Restriction of burial rites during the Covid-19 pandemic
Burial rites are very common among many Africa communities. In the African context, burials are not the end of life but rather the beginning of another life in the land of the ancestors. In spite of the importance of the African funeral rites, the missional role of the church in mourning and the burial of the dead in the African communities, the COVID-19 pandemic led protocols and restrictions placed a huge challenge on the African religious and …
Pentecostalism and migration
Pentecostal phenomenon from history has always moved with migration. Reading Acts 1:8, Jesus linked the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the migration of his disciples and the gospel from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. Migration has become a worldwide, multi-directional phenomenon which is reshaping the Christian landscape. In this light, the article discussed Pentecostalism and migration by using two Ghanaian Classica…

New Guinea
New Guinea, inhabited for approximately 50,000 years, has been the focus of far less archaeological research compared to Australia and Polynesia, to the south and east, respectively. However, the archaeology of this island is significant to perennial archaeological topics including the development of agriculture and social complexity, the explanation and effects of human interaction, the archaeological relevance of paleoenvironmental research, an…
Cicero in Letters
This book is a guide to the first large letter collection that survives from the Greco‐Roman world. The correspondence of Cicero consists of nearly 950 letters and embraces almost every major political figure of the Late Republic. Chapters 1 through 3 of this study describe external constraints affecting the letters that have come down to us. Some were the result of Roman conventions regarding social interaction, while others reflect logistical d…

Statius and the Silvae
Although writing in Latin, Statius (first-century AD) was, by origin and training, a Greek poet, and his collection of occasional poems, the Silvae, are a Roman extension of contemporary trends in Greek display poetry. No reading of the Silvae can be accurate without an understanding of this Graeco-Roman poetic milieu. This book therefore begins with a reconstruction of the professional background to the Silvae - the festival circuit, the conditi…
Amicitia and the Profession of Poetry in Early Imperial Rome
This paper deals with the relationship between Latin poets and their wealthy friends at Rome, and it has a mildly polemical aim. I will begin by noticing some embarrassments which arise when one approaches the subject in the light of conceptions like ‘patronage’ and ‘patron’. Then I will show that poets and their great friends conducted themselves according to a characteristically Roman code of manners, and will argue that this familiar code of a…
The Presentation and Dedication of the Silvae and the Epigrams
In this paper I wish to discuss the evidence of certain pragmatic calculations in Martial's Epigrams and Statius' Silvae , prescinding entirely from whatever literary qualities this kind of poetry may have. Specifically, the paper is concerned with the problem of presentation, and it has two parts. Part I argues that the poets' published books represent only the last and least important means of presenting poems to patrons, and collects evidence …
Long‐distance connections in Vanuatu
A geochemical study using pXRF and LA–ICP–MS to characterise artefacts from sites dating to the initial phase of colonisation on Aore and Malo islands, Vanuatu, has confirmed the dominance of obsidian from the distant Kutau/Bao source in West New Britain, with a smaller group from local outcrops in the Banks Islands, Vanuatu. Three flakes from the Umleang/Umrei source in the Admiralty Islands have also been identified in later levels. Distance fa…

Maecenas' Retirement
Stemmed Tools, Social Interaction, and Voyaging in Early–Mid Holocene Papua New Guinea
To assess the proposal that the widespread distribution of early–mid Holocene obsidian stemmed tools in Papua New Guinea signifies wide ranging social networks, studies of their morphology, technology, and geochemical composition were conducted. It is argued that strong similarities in technology and form of artifacts made from both Manus and New Britain obsidians and their characterization to only one sub-source in each region indicate significa…
Going Abroad
Existing literature on contentious political movements has generally focused on domestic political activity. Using the new Minorities at Risk Organizational Behavior–Middle East data set (MAROB-ME), which contains organization-level data for 104 ethnopolitical organizations in the Middle East and North Africa, we analyze the decision of both violent and nonviolent organizations to engage in political activity transnationally. Among the results, w…

Source selectivity
Artifacts made from volcanic glass have been found in archaeological contexts dating from the Late Palaeolithic (ca. 20,000 yr B.P.) through to the end of the Bronze Age (ca. 2700 yr B.P.) in the southern Primorye region of Far East Russia. A geoarchaeological survey of volcanic glass outcrops assessed the various potential sources to determine their potential for sustained exploitation. A characterization study of source samples and artifacts fr…

Julius Caesar in Augustan Rome
IN 1843, HORACE'S SwISS COMMENTATOR Johann Kaspar von Orelli noted in an obiter dictum that the Augustan poets made little fanfare over the name of Julius Caesar. He assumed that they had shied away instinctively from praising a man whose accomplishments might threaten to overshadow Augustus' own.' Other critics took the point about the low visibility of Caesar, but suspected that the initiative must have proceeded directly from Augustus. Various…
Forum
This paper has two purposes. One is to question the adequacy of the current utilitarian explanation for the wide proliferation of backed artefacts in Australia in the later Holocene. The second is to suggest that broadly social explanations for this event need to be given more weight
Late Pleistocene fauna at Spring Creek, Victoria
Late Pleistocene extinctions of fauna at Spring Creek, Victoria, are re-examined. Researchers are examining whether radiocarbon dates on bones from extant species coming from sites that are both clearly archaeological and Pleistocene in date are subject to the same dating difficulties as are experienced at the non-archaeological, megafaunal sites like Spring Creek
Blowing in The Wind. Slte Destruction and Slte Creation at Hawker Lagoon, South Australia
The post-depositional movement of stone artefacts within sites by treadage and scuffage (e.g. Matthews 1965; Stockton 1973) and site-maintenance activities (Steele 1987), their movement by animals and especially birds (Cane 1982; Solomon et al. 1986), and their in situ alteration (Hiscock 1985) have all been recorded in Australia. Site destruction on a large scale, especially by wave action and erosion on the coasts, has been commonly invoked in …

Meaningful stones
The technology, typology, context and probable mid-Holocene date of a newly discovered group of exceptional obsidian stemmed tools at Barema, New Britain, Papua New Guinea, opens a rare window on social life and ideology during a poorly known period in Melanesia. We argue that, because of their size, fragility and the skill required for their manufacture, these artefacts were valuables, conferring status on their owners. Their deliberately constr…
Pompeius Macer’ and Ovid
The Pompeius Macer whom prosopographers have discerned among the friends of Ovid boasts connections as stellar as anyone in Ovid's ambit. His induction into the Roman establishment was preceded by the achievements of his father (or possibly grandfather) Theophanes of Mytilene, who for two decades had been one of Pompey's closest confidants. Macer himself served Augustus first as equestrian procurator of Asia and then as director of state librarie…

The Authorship of the Historia Augusta
This paper is meant to strengthen Hermann Dessau's contention that one man composed the Historia Augusta , not six as the collection itself attests. In the first and positive part I have gathered the soundest of his arguments together with any other evidence that seemed cogent, and supported the whole with representative citations from the text. The next three sections expose basic weaknesses in the defence of multiple authorship offered by his o…

Horace A.P . 128–30
CO. Brink's discussion of these lines takes five pages in the body of his commentary, and is continued in an appendix of nine pages at the end. But the passage has for so long caused such sore vexation that his treatment of it seems actually compendious rather than long, and deserves our gratitude. With the main part of his solution, which is to understand communia as ‘generalities to which individual features must be given’ (p. 196), I fully agr…

The study investigated the effect of the expectancies a perceiver holds about the occurrence of a particular behaviour and his or her familiarity with the situation in which the behaviour occurs, for the way in which an event is explained. Subjects were presented with brief descriptions of hypothetical events which varied in terms of the familiarity of the situation. Dependent variables included ratings of causality to personal and situational ca…
