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.

The white patch on the rump distinguishes the bantin from its ally the gaur (q.v.). Bulls of the typical bantin of Java and Borneo are, when fully adult, completely black except for the white rump and legs, but the cows and young are rufous. In Burma the species is represented by the tsaine, or hsaine, in which the colour of the adult bulls is rufous fawn. Tame bantin are bred in Bali, near Java, and exported to Singapore. (See BOVIDAE.) William of Orange were landed here in 1697. There are several islands, the principal of which are Bear Island and Whiddy, off the town. Ruins of the so-called fish palaces testify to the failure of the pilchard fishery in the 18th century. BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages. 1 Bantu (literally Ba-ntu) is the most archaic and most widely spread term for men, mankind, people, in these languages. It also indicates aptly the leading feature of this group of tongues, which is the governing of the unchangeable root by prefixes. The syllable -flu is nowhere found now standing alone, but it originally meant object, or possibly person. It is also occasionally used as a relative pronoun that. that which, he who. Combined with different prefixes it has different meanin~s. Thus (in the purer forms of Bantu languages) muntu means a man, bantu means men, kintu means a thing, bintu things, kantu means a little thing, tuntu little things, and so on. This term Banlu has been often criticized, but no one has supplied a better, simpler designation for this section of Negro languages, and the name has now been definitely consecrated by usage.

"The greatest event in world history, excepting the birth and death of Christ..." Francisco Lopez de Gomara (1552) "Columbus's voyage to America began a legacy of European piracy, brutality, slave trading, murder, disease, conquest, and ethnocide..." The American Library Association (1990) These contrasting pronouncements on Christopher Columbus's transatlantic navigation in 1492 crystalize the extreme division of opinion that characterized the recent quincentennial. The five-hundredth anniversary of Columbus's first voyage inspired among other things a world's fair, several replicas of the Nina , the Pinta , and the Santa Maria , two feature films, and an opera. Commemoration of the event also inspired, in time-honored tradition, the publication of thousands of works dedicated to the major event. Thus although publishing technology is speeding along toward electronic rather than printed images, the fifth centennial of Columbus's voyage has been marked most significantly by the rolling of the presses. As a bibliographer charged with selecting and acquiring Ibero-Americana for a research library, I have monitored the growth of the quincentennial literature closely. This article will examine some of the intellectual legacy of the quincentennial through the lens of publication, delineating its characteristics and trends in content.

Indonesia Islamic Archaeology of the belief in the Wali songo is not of rulers and significant numbers of indigenouspeoples to Islam Arabic letters rather than older, indigenous or Indian http://www.arkeologi.net/islamic/
Extractions: Underwater Archaeology ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY PERIOD Early Islamic Period : 1300-1600 In some examples the ruler's decision to convert was immediately followed as a matter of course by all his subjects; in others an appreciable proportion of the population seems to have converted first, followed by their ruler in what may have been a politically motivated act. Different agents were involved in different parts of Indonesia: sometimes itinerant merchant-missionaries of foreign or mixed parentage, in others conquering warriors, in still others charismatic teachers. Different schools of Islam were popular in different areas. The Shi'a sect made converts in several areas, and traces of the mystical sect known as the Dervishes can still be seen in some parts of Indonesia. In general, the forms of Islam which received the readiest acceptance espoused a Sufi philosophy. Sufi-influenced believers can be divided into two groups: 'mystical orthodoxy' and less orthodox variants. Islam introduced new terms into Indonesian languages, and new symbols into architecture and art. However, the spread of Islam was accompanied by the same process of Indonesianisation as was the adoption of South Asian traits 1,000 years earlier.

This dynamic, durable, and spiritually invincible culture was born of the forced syncretism of African, Indigenous, and European cultures. Its beauty and power belie the ugly and shameful history of slavery, which brings us to the point of all this discourse. Music and dance were vital and urgent forces, bridging the divine gap between heaven and earth, and affording African hope and survival in a new and hostile world. Music and dance were spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional outlets. They were communication, documentation, passion , joy, anger, satire, education, and love. They were life itself, and the most amazing part is

Extractions: "Collective Unconscious" or "Meta Unconscious" The intent of this essay is to attempt to explain the appearance of Eastern or Hindu words, such as Krishna and Shiva, in the speech reversals of African, Afro American, and Australian Aboriginal people. I will explore Carl Jung's theory of the collective unconscious as a possible explanation and then put forward another model based on an application of the concepts of oral tradition and oral diffusion. This alternative model I have termed the "Meta Unconscious." Hindu words regularly appear in the Reverse Speech of African, Afro American and Australian Aboriginal people. Occasionally this appearance has a religious purpose, but in most cases they are used in a unique and non - religious manner. Oddly these words are identified with the people themselves, in that Krishna and Shiva are used as substitute words for Aboriginal or African or black. They operate then as synonyms for the names of the peoples already mentioned. For this reason I termed these reversals, "Identity Metaphors."
