We can't keep ignoring Islam forever

I am a christian with a basic theological training. This training has widened my scope concerning the christian faith, the development of its doctrines, the differences between different communities and the plethora of theological opinion. Naturally, only wilful disregard of the facts or realities of the faith can allow one to hold tenaciously to the purity and rightness of all their theological method and opinion against the rest. Indeed, it was the learned opinion of some scholar that because of the diversity observable among the followers of Christ, it would be proper to speak of 'christianities'. He thought that this would acknowlegde the fundamental diversity embodied by different theological communities.
 
Now, what this awareness of the diverse nature of christian theology therefore practice aroused in me was a question regarding Islam. I wondered if Islam is this monolithic movement I hear others talk about. Is there only one way of interpreting the Quran? Well, I chanced a very informative website which is very well written. I think it is quite an eye opener for the curious. You can visit it here if you are interested.

You are a false teacher, they said

With what do you allay somebody's fear that you are a false prophet or teacher about whom the Bible spoke? And how do you exactly handle that when it is somebody in your cngregation who says so in an open forum? Well, let me give you a bit of background. You see, at our church, we decided to confront the problem of desertion of our cell groups head on. We held a conference the purpose of which was to re-present the vision and mission of the church, achievements and problems encountered and hear what our members experience as challenges that might be responsible for 'low morale'. It was in one of the sessions where group leaders were reporting back on the experiences of their group members that 'a fear of my being a false teacher/prophet' was expressed as one of the contributing factors. How did I respond to that? Well, I told them that I have no way of proving that I am or I am not. I indicated that I know that I love Jesus and desire to always follow him in my time...

GOD versus Powerful prayers and Confessions: who will be lifted up?

    Powerful prayers If you were to hear somebody talk about 'powerful prayers' what would you say that person is talking about exactly? What questions would cross your mind? And what would your expectations be?   I learnt from a dear man of God, an elderly pastor who came to our retreat last week, that there are 'powerful prayers'. These prayers apparently were either prayed by some missionaries sometime ago or written by one of them. They are calculated to produce the answers for which their pray-ors seek. The elderly gentleman assured us that they really do work- produce results that is. He then issued an invitation for whoever wants to have them send to him by email so that we can on with the task of missions. And as it can now be expected of me, I went into overdrive. Part of me wanted to give my name so that I too could receive this amazing package of results-producing prayers. The other part of me just revolted against the idea. But w...

Lekota's open letter to Gwede Mantashe

Mosiuoa Lekota 03 October 2008 Statement by the former ANC chairman and Minister of Defence October 2 2008 Open letter to ANC Secretary General Comrade Gwede Mantashe Dear Comrade Secretary General I have decided to take the unusual step to write you an open letter because the unusual situation that has now arisen in the ANC and the tripartite alliance requires extraordinary steps. I write to place on record the concerns I see as gnawing away at the ANC, with the hope that the leadership might wake up to the dangers our movement faces. When I joined the ANC, I was attracted by its policies, political culture, values, history and its commitment to the interests of our people - black and white. I am still as fervently committed to this cause as when I first joined the organisation. However, for some time now, I have lived with the growing sense that our leadership has veered the organisation away from the established policy priorities and customary democratic norms of the ANC. (i) For in...
