Religious education
‘Learning from’ in Religious Education, as a mode of moving towards interdenominational and interfaith learning, has a long and fruitful history. However, It has been criticised for being overly subjective as it mainly encourages learning about oneself. Though this has value, it needs to address better the need to understand rather than simply use the religious tradition that is being studied. It raises the question of the objectivity of ‘Learnin…
Conversion in the Catholic School
Conversion to Catholicism has long featured as the primary aim of the Catholic school. This perspective was interwoven with a view of Graeco-Roman culture as universally normative. Following the Church’s major assembly, Vatican II (1962–1965), this changed, primarily because the Church acknowledged that other denominations and faiths could be seen as avenues of salvation. The Church subsequently opened its school to non-Catholics, not necessarily…
Religious education and culture in Zambia
Religious Education in Zambia and perhaps more widely needs to become more aware of how religion is expressed culturally. ‘Learning about’ religion or religions, which is a common practice, has limited value. It needs a ‘learning from’ dimension. It will be contended that this ‘learning from’ has been extensively neglected in Zambia. A key reason for this is Religious Education’s embodiment in a Western cultural framework. With movement towards ‘…
Mission as conversion
This is a reflection on my experience of being an expatriate Jesuit missionary to Zambia from 1972 to 2005. It traces the development of the notion of mission as it shifts from a narrow denominational conception of conversion to being more ecumenical and inclusive of other religious viewpoints. In reviewing this, the ideal of conversion was seen to mean colonization of the other. To counteract this, another understanding of conversion is proposed…
The Challenge for Religious Education in Zambia’s Formal Education System
Religious education has long been part of Zambia’s primary and secondary education curriculum. It will be argued that, though its role has changed, it has never been highly educational. This is seen to be a major challenge today in the light of a swiftly expanding urban population who find themselves ever more rootless. To address it, it is contended that religious education needs to assume a better ‘learning from’ dimension. Failure to do so mea…
Religious Conversion
The Catholic school and social justice in Africa
This paper will argue that the state-aided Catholic school in Zambia has contributed significantly to the development of the country over the years. However, because of its enmeshment in the state system of education it has inadvertently become an instrument of underdevelopment. It is structurally complicit in alienating some of the poorest sectors of society, which runs counter to its professed religious mission. This essay presents the Zambian …

Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa
Zambia
As countries’ populations become more religiously diverse, a need to review the religious education syllabus that operates is often perceived. One such country is Zambia, which was not only traditionally religiously diverse but has become even more so with the advent of Christianity, Islam and Hinduism and other non‐African faiths. This article therefore explores the feasibility of adopting a multi‐faith approach to religious education in Zambia …
The Politics of Catholic Education in Zambia
In colonial Zambia, the school served as a key means of Christian conversion and Church growth. During this period, the provision of education was almost the total preserve of the missionaries. Even by the time of Zambia's Independence in 1964, sixty-six per cent of the primary schools were operated by missionaries and about thirty per cent were run by Catholics. After Zambia gained its national Independence, this changed. As in other African cou…

Conversion and school at Chikuni, 1905-39
IntroductionReligious conversion, a concept central to missionary activity and to the influence that Christianity has exerted in a variety of fields, embodies a wide range of meanings (Lonergan, 1971: 105-7). In the African context it has generally meant a change from a traditional to a universal religion, entailing a psychological transformation through which the convert's underlying assumptions about the world are reconstructed, accompanied by …
