Description / Abstract
As a person steeped in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, the above makes sense. The imperative to live out and proclaim this understanding is clear. However, I am an African challenged by precisely how this is to be done in a context where nearly every religious system in the world is represented, and where very many Africans do not care about what Asians, Europeans, or Americans think about their religious or spiritual practices and expressions. I embrace this challenge through pastoral care that reflects the worldview of the South African culture of which I am a part. My point of departure is that because the African’s worldview is primarily systemic, and deals with patterns, structures, and social relationships, my theology of pastoral care should move away from the intrinsically individualistic and person-centered approach of the West. I need to be able to incorporate the people, their events, hopes, concerns, and richness which are fundamentally communal and relational into my theology.
A response paper for the Global Theology Conference to be held in Pilar, Argentina, in April 2024.
