“Liturgies in Kaaps” as demotic discourse for generating spiritual capital among youth
There is a close relationship between language, especially a first language or mother tongue language, and identity formation. There is furthermore a connection between liturgical celebrations, faith and identity formation. Recent debates about being Khoisan or Coloured reflect contestation to the term “Coloured” as an imposed racial identifier resulting in some living in a continuous state of displacement, migration or liminality. Kaaps is the l…

Born Free? South African Young Adults, Inequality, and Reconciliation in Stellenbosch
Despite the demise of apartheid, economic inequality remains racially skewed in South Africa.

How does ongoing inequality color notions of reconciliation and restitution twenty-five years later? This article focuses on the context of Christian…

Dating back to medieval times, and some would contend even ancient biblical times, scholars of the faith have made significant contributions to scientific discovery. Theology was considered foundational to the understanding of our natural world, and possibly the motivation for scientific enquiry. No tension existed between observation and study of the natural world and faith. In modern times the rift between science and faith, from a conservative…
Faith, culture and youth ministry in South Africa
Postmodern youth are deeply spiritual. These youth sometimes do not even call themselves religious, yet at the root of their postmodern pluralism and relativism, they do have a deep hunger for God. It is for this reason that congregations need to do all possible to engage these youth, assisting them in their quest for faith and growth in that faith, but this has to be done in a responsible and effective way. This paper will explore the relationsh…
A (South) African voice on youth ministry research

Many African scholars also draw on research and practices within these international spheres. Empirical research on youth ministry in Africa is however of great importance. For this purpose, comparative analysis research provides a research methodology in the social sciences that aims to make comparisons across di…
