Extractions: Contextualizing The Gospel In Africa This article was written in Kenya, East Africa. By definition, Contextualization is the application of Biblical truths to the circumstances and situations to be experienced in a target culture. And although American culture, contrary to African culture, has been widely influenced by Biblical truths, nevertheless, Biblical principles have been contextualized in our society as well. For instance, it was necessary that the principle of the master-slave relationship articulated in the New Testament almost two thousand years ago be contextualized into the employer-employee relationship of our modern American society. Unfortunately, some Americans who have failed to do this have thought the New Testament to say nothing about our modern employer-employee relationship. Nevertheless, in order to be the kind of people the Lord wants us to be, we must contexualize the truths taught in the Bible to/into our modern society. Having learned how to do this in our own culture, we must now teach the Kenyans how to do the same thing in theirs. The Process The process of contextualization involves a series of stages. The

Extractions: International criticism of government behaviour developed into suspension of aid and support to Kenya. Within the state lawyers, religious groups and political leadership began to co-operate in demanding multi-party democracy. The combined pressures resulted in 1991 in the repeal by parliament of the constitutional clause making Kenya a one party state. The elections in 1992 saw opposition parties winning 88 of the 200 seats in parliament. The government continued to divide the opposition, to deploy state assets to promote its own party political agenda and to play the ethnic/regional division card to keep control. By the time of the 1997 elections the opposition had increased its share of the seats to 109 out of 222 seats, but remained hopelessly divided. Current Political Situation, 2001

Extractions: Institute for Security Studies INTRODUCTION This article focuses on two aspects of the Kenyan socio-political arena, and explains how these provide a useful setting for the President to manipulate the political process to his advantage. The first of these features may be described as a system of personal rule; the second as the ethnicisation of politics. These act as the context within which Moi, by instigating and exacerbating conflict, could and can control the political process. The argument is made here that, in so far as this continues to be the nature of politics in the country, Moi or any eventual successor, can choose to use the same means to retain political power virtually at will. CHRONOLOGY OF VIOLENCE During the course of the December 1992 elections, there was a lull in fighting after which conflict restarted and escalated, now encompassing the Molo, Narok, Pokot, Londiani, Elburgon and Burnt Forest areas of the Rift Valley. The perpetrators of this latest violence expanded to include the Maasai and Pokot ethnic groups. These attacks were aimed primarily at the Kikuyu. After another lull in fighting, there was renewed violence in March 1994. The Kalenjin again fought with the Kikuyu in the Rift Valley and Burnt Forest areas. This was followed by the forced eviction of Kikuyu by the Maasai in the Enoospukia region. In 1995, in the Mai Mahiu area of Naivasha, fighting broke out that left 300 000 people displaced.
Extractions: We four all had a WONDERFUL time. The plan of starting on the slopes of Mt. Kenya and visiting the Kikuyus there at the beginning and moving south to the Mara was an excellent one. It gave us a chance to get our "clocks" on African time, to exercise, to get to know some of the plants and birds, and to concentrate on the people, before we were overwhelmed by the wildlife at Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara. And overwhelmed we were! But, I get ahead of myself. Mountain Rock Lodge was lovely except that we were exhausted from travel and a warm/hot shower would have been welcome, but the water never reached above room temperature. (sorry Elaine - there was a boiler problem and we've fixed it now by installing electric water heaters in each room) I don't think that this would be a problem during most of the year, but it was pretty chilly in Nov. and we had been rained upon for 24 hours while taking "our leisurely stroll" up Mt. Kenya. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay there very much the food and service were excellent, and waking up to baboons playing on the lawn and swing set was very exciting. William and Solomon were so knowledgeable about the wildlife and people of the area that our learning curve was steep. Duncan was a terrific driver under amazingly difficult conditions the traffic in Nairobi makes Manhattan's look tame, and the muddy, steep two-track up and down the slope of Mt. Kenya was very exciting. Patrick's cooking was amazing (typical meal: soup, bread, chicken, 3 kinds of vegetables, rice, fruit/dessert); all made from scratch in the bush!

I already have my nose glued to the window and as the plane creeps further south, I notice I am not the only passenger craning for a glimpse. By the time the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya sail past the excitement is palpable. We are nearly there. For the next hour or so the visitor is assailed by the contrasts which make Kenya one of the world's most interesting countries. As the plane sweeps south on its approach to Nairobi, one's eye flits from the parched, volcano-studded plains of the Rift Valley to the moist cloud-flecked slopes of the Aberdare massif and the lush Kikuyu highlands.

Extractions: The Pitfalls of Institutional Ecumenism Jesus Christ founded one church but European and American missionary activities in Africa in the 19th century brought and planted a divided church. The roots of division continued to grow even deeper in subsequent years. In spite of many and varied initiatives towards church unity, the African church scene is characterized by denominationalism and fragmentation. There are several reasons for the divisions doctrinal, historical and ideological. Diakonia, too, has in many cases re-entrenched denominationalism. Otieno Munala argues: The missionary enterprise in Africa resulted in the creation of spheres of influence that contributed significantly to the segmentation of peoples along linguistic, cultural and ethnic lines. Indigenous churches have to a lesser or greater degree followed the same lines in their competition for souls and, more often than not, in the search for funding.(1)

She has a rare taste for adventure and her life is full of risk. Lunda has shared a shower with a poisonous momba snake in Africa; traveled down a crocodile-infested river in Papua, New Guinea, to paint head hunters; had breakfast with Ghengis Kahns's 23rd descendant in the middle of Mongolia; was left on a "small table-top iceberg" by Eskimos who quickly paddled away; spent nights in jail on an island off Siberia; had a gun pulled on her in the Aleutians; was painting in Tibet two weeks after being told that she could not go there. To this day she has not revealed how she did it. The 5'2" green-eyed Gill has lived with and painted: the Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos of the United States, Canada and Mexico; the Aborigines of Australia; the Kikuyu, Masai, and other tribes of Africa; the indigenous people of Fiji, Hawaii, Indonesia, Japan, and New Zealand; Papua, New Guinea; the Philippines, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, China (including Tibet and Mongolia), and Israel. She was always interested in painting people. "The minute I picked up a pencil in a life drawing course at the Chouinart Art Institute in Los Angeles, my passion began. I love to take a blank canvas and suddenly a person's face stares back at me and comes alive," says Gill.
