Social transformation through affirmation of human dignity in a faith-based organisation
The contribution towards poverty upliftment in South Africa by a faith-based organisation (“FBO”) which practises integrated spirituality has not been clearly ascertained. Based on a case study conducted within the field of Theology and Development, it can be suggested that an FBO, through the practice of holistic spirituality, can empower people who are economically deprived, by assisting them to activate their agency, as their human dignity is …
A New Journal for a New Space: Introducing Religion & Development
This article introduces Religion & Development as a new transdisciplinary journal focusing on the nexus between religion and development. It outlines the motivation for establishing the new periodical along three central themes: the move towards sustainable development as dominant development paradigm; the reinvigoration of the post-development debate; and the emerging academic, policy and practice field of religion and development. The discussio…
Born Free? South African Young Adults, Inequality, and Reconciliation in Stellenbosch
Despite the demise of apartheid, economic inequality remains racially skewed in South Africa. For young people born either shortly before or after 1994, the official demise of apartheid—termed “born frees”—we must ask whether they are indeed “free” of the social and economic constraints of the past. How does ongoing inequality color notions of reconciliation and restitution twenty-five years later? This article focuses on the context of Christian…
Does faith matter? Exploring the emerging value and tensions ascribed to faith identity in South African faith-based organisations
Faith-based Organisations (FBOs) have been at the forefront of a growing interest of the intersection between religion and development. Their value has been recognised as both pragmatic (such as reaching the poorest at the grassroots level and encouraging civil society and advocacy) and, perhaps more contentiously, also ‘spiritual’ in nature because of advantages arising from faith itself (such as hope, meaning, purpose and transcendental power).…
Men and women in partnership
There is much debate around whether gender-based violence (GBV) interventions should be framed within ‘women’ or ‘men’movements.While recognizing the gainsmade through both strategies, by drawing on data collected during a recent scoping study on the role of faith communities and organizations in the prevention and response to sexual and genderbased violence, we argue that there is a need, particularly within faith communities in the Global South…
The elephant in the room
South Africa remains a divided community on many levels: socially, racially and socioeconomically. This is no more evident than in the recent protests – most notably waged on university campuses and on the streets in the past year. This, the article argues, is closely related to the need to reclaim the notion of power by those who feel they remain relegated to the social and economic peripheries after over 20 years of democracy. While ‘theology a…
