(Practical) Theology
Theology as a story of doubt and imagination is to be understood against the background of interdisciplinary social science and in contrast to the traditional paradigm of theology as a system of propositional certainty. The concepts of doubt and imagination are part and parcel of narrative research and can also be linked to postfoundational philosophy. The relevancy of this theological paradigm will be discussed on the basis of the following: (1)…
Together in the world! Postfoundationalism re-discovered in Ubuntu
This article investigates two questions: (1) What is the significance of a typical western philosophical concept like postfoundationalism for the African context? (2) Can Ubuntu be the key or the bridge between two seemingly distant philosophical worlds? I have been involved in two major research projects: firstly, the exploration of the postfoundationalist paradigm and the significance of it for practical theology; secondly, a study of Ubuntu an…

Poulantzas lesen. Zur Aktualität marxistischer Staatstheorie
This review discusses a collection of papers on Nicos Poulantzas's contribution to Marxist state-theory and socialist strategy. Chapters are grouped into three subject-areas: theory and method; globalisation; political strategy. Particular attention is paid to Poulantzas's definition of the state and methodology for investigating concrete state-forms. Poulantzas gives primacy to the balance of forces between classes, which raises two questions: S…
Butterfly-leadership' – Stories of hope for church leaders
In a time of increasingly demanding pressures and expectations being experienced by Pastors, questions can be asked as to how do they as leaders keep their hopes alive. This article explores the stories of many of these pastors, listening for unique outcomes of hoping in often difficult and desperate circumstances. We conclude that the new styles of leadership, skills and organisational structures need to be developed so that leaders can become g…
Telling a past, dreaming a future’ (Walter Brueggemann) - Die essensie van die narratiewe pastoraat
“Telling a past, dreaming a future” - The essence of narrative pastoral counsellingThe article examines the possibilities of negotiating the double movement created by living towards the future and dreaming out of the future into the present. Story telling in the pastoral environment is suggested as a means of bringing together the past and the expected future. A circular approach to time can help immensely by bringing together past and future in…
Uitbranding by die predikant
Burnout amongst ministers of religion: A systemic perspective In contrast to fatigue or stress, burnout is a syndrome which is the result of a long process of imbalance between pressure and resources. The author argues that there are no simple solutions in crash courses or seminars on stress. The phenomenon of burnout can only be explained and resolved through a systems perspective. The pastor participates in two basic systems: the work and love …
Grafika as hulpmiddel in die Pastorale gesprek
Using graphics in pastoral counselling Three techniques of Family Therapy, namely the genogram, the ecomap and GFS (Graphic Family Sculpting), are discussed and presented as usable in pastoral care. The article argues that these techniques are most useful in pastoral care because of the fact that the religious community, as stressed in the Bible, consists of families and groups. A sensitivity for the family of origin and other systems which every…
