Extractions: AFRICAN THEOLOGY AND THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA [a work in progress] Presented to the Canadian Theological Society May 25, 2001 by Ian D. Ritchie, Ph.D. St. John's Anglican Church, 41 Church St., Kingston, ON., K7M 1H2 The paper assesses the role played by African theologians in advancing the status of women in Africa. The perception (common in western church circles) of the African church as a bastion of conservatism and patriarchy will be examined critically. Starting with a brief overview of gender in precolonial Africa, moving to an analysis of the influence of mission Christianity and the African Initiated Churches, the paper concludes with an evaluation of the influence of African theologians. The conclusion that Christianity may be moving African women towards equality more rapidly than in western societies speaks of a positive relationship between academic theology, church and society.[ An earlier version of this article formed a chapter of the author's 1993 doctoral dissertation, African Theology and Social Change.

Extractions: Hail and farewell! T HERE is at the present day a widespread and growing interest in the customs, institutions, and folklore of more or less 'primitive' peoples, even among persons who are still a little shy of the word 'anthropology.' This interest is of comparatively recent growth; but when one looks back over the nineteenth century it seems almost incredible that Moffat could write) in 1842, that "a description of the manners and customs of the Bechuanas would be neither very instructive nor very edifying." Twenty years earlier James Campbell, whom one suspects of a secret and shamefaced interest in the subject, apologizes for presenting to the notice of his readers the "absurd and ridiculous fictions" of the same tribe.

Whether one stays in Conservation Corporation's safari camps, which support the Rural Development Fund or whether one walks with us through the wilderness areas protected through the Dorobo Fund for Tanzania, one is doing more than just traveling responsibly - one is directly helping. More Dorobo Fund for Tanzania: Livingstone Expeditions works with and supports the Dorobo Fund for Tanzania - a Minnesota state registered, tax-exempt, non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve wilderness areas and benefit local people within such areas through community-based conservation projects. More Rural Development Fund: The Rural Investment Fund of Conservation Corporation Africa (CCA) strives to incorporate solid based-conservation measures into the operations and mission of its corporation as hotelier and tour operator. More Land and people. Where is the balance? With the current world population having just reached 6 billion humans and with land resources declining, it is strikingly clear of the current imbalance between land and people. In Tanzania, the projected population is expected to increase to 90 million in the next 50 years, which is 3 times what it is now, and in a country where 80% of the population is directly dependent on land resources, one can find a fine example of such an imbalance and a stark danger.

Extractions: by Mark Thornton '88 "Does ecotourism still exist?" This was the question posed to me when I first arrived in Tanzania in 1994 to study wildlife ecology and conservation. As a student in my fourth year at the University of Richmond, I had recently landed in the northern Tanzanian town of Arusha on a semester abroad program under the School for International Training (S.I.T.). Having volunteered on national wildlife refuges in the U.S. and considering myself moderately knowledgeable of land conservation, my initial response was: "Well, not only does it exist, but it is growing and becoming better understood, publicized, and implemented all the time. Right?" That was in 1994, and since then my outlook has greatly changed. I went on to complete the program and spend the following four years outfitting and guiding wildlife safaris in East Africa. I tried first to define the word "ecotourism," and find models of it where it truly existed, and then to follow the core values of community-based conservation myself in operating safaris for my company, Livingstone Expeditions. Shortly after the term "ecotourism" was coined, it was so quickly picked up and abused by tour operators, environmentalists, hoteliers, and just about anyone else concerned with the tourism industry, that it just as quickly lost its meaning. From large bus tours through the U.S. to orchid jungle treks in Panama, the proverbial "Green Stamp" was pasted, by means of the ecotourism tag, to company images, names, and, of course, marketing materials.

How is allegiance to a group archieved? Why are people more closely associated with some groups than with others? How do they manage conflicting claims on their loyalties? These are, of course, fundamental questions in the study of social behaviour. We shall pursue them, in this first part of the course, with an ethnographic focus on East Africa and a theoretical focus on the following general topics: (a) the creation and maintenance of ethnic boundaries, (b) the relationship between kinship and locality in creating bonds of economic cooperation and political identity and (c) the significance of ethnicity in the urban environment.

Extractions: Ms. Eileen Omosa, Forest Action Network, Kenya CONFLICTS OVER FORESTS AS A SHARED NATURAL RESOURCE: THE CASE OF MAU FOREST Summary The latest global figures on forest cover indicate that in 1995 there were 3 454 million hectares of forest (including natural forests and forest plantations) world-wide. Between 1990 and 1995, the total area of forests decreased by 56.3 million hectares - the result of a loss of 65.1 million hectares in developing countries and an increase of 8.8 million hectares in developed countries. Major causes of forest cover change include conversion of forests to agricultural land and large infrastructural development in developing countries. About 55 % of the world's forests are located in developing countries, with the remaining 45% in developed countries (SOFO, 1999). Globally, sustainable management of natural resources has been equated to community participation, and for this to happen, there is need for awareness creation on their rights and responsibilities in the resource management. The use and management of forests in Kenya are governed by the forestry legislation that comes in the form of Forest Act and Forest Policy. The legislation is updated from time to time, yet the majority of those who depend on the forest directly for their livelihood lack such information. Outsiders exploit the ignorance of the forest communities by using the forest unsustainably, with impunity. The local community views the forest as a government property, hence rarely bother even when they witness destruction.

Chapter IV: The Heaven Country And The Heaven People by the misconduct of the ancestral dorobo) is perhaps the Bahutu, as they call theindigenous peasants All primitive peoples, quite naturally, think of the sky http://www.sacred-texts.com/afr/mlb/mlb06.htm
Extractions: Sacred Texts Africa Index Previous ... Next CHAPTER IV: THE HEAVEN COUNTRY AND THE HEAVEN PEOPLE THE Zulus appear to have recognized a sky-god distinct from Unkulunkulu. This seems to strengthen the probability that the name Unkulunkulu is not, as Bleek thought, identical with Mulungu, since the latter name for the High God in some languages actually means 'sky.' "The king which is above," Umpengula Mbanda informed Dr Callaway, " we did not hear of him first from white men. In summer-time, when it thunders, we say, 'The king is playing.' And if there is one who is afraid the elder people say to him, 'It is nothing but fear. What thing belonging to the king have you eaten?'[1] This is why I say that the Lord of whom we hear through you we had already heard of before you came. But he is not like the Unkulunkulu, who, we say, made all things. But the former we call a king, for, we say, he is above; Unkulunkulu is beneath."[2] They seem, however, to have been somewhat hazy on the subject, for another informant said that they were the same, Unkulunkulu being "the creator of all things," who is in heaven, though at first he was on earth; but " he went up to heaven afterwards." This would connect with the Yao legend, alluded to in our introductory chapter, that Mulungu used to live on the earth, but afterwards ascended to the sky by means of the spider's thread. The idea appears to be tolerably widespread, and is found outside the Bantu area. The Nandi myth of the Thunder leaving the earth and taking up his abode in the sky (impelled by the misconduct of the ancestral Dorobo) is perhaps an echo of it.
