ORTHODOX MISSION IN TROPICAL AFRICA
by Stephen Hayes Originally published in Missionalia , the journal of the Southern African Missiological Society. Most histories of Christian mission in Africa, even those that are ostensibly ecumenical or pan-Christian, make little or no mention of Orthodox Church missions in Africa.1 There are several possible reasons for this, among them a bias on the part of many mission historians in favour of missions that were established before 1950 (Fiedler 1995:92). Most, though not all, Orthodox missions in tropical Africa began after that date. Another possible reason is that even those Orthodox missions that began before 1950 were not regarded as "mainstream" by the established Roman Catholic and Protestant missions, because they were identified with African independent church movements, which at that time were regarded by the Western churches as a problem for mission rather than a form of mission. The identification of Orthodoxy with the struggle against colonialism was also an embarrassment at that time. One Kenyan, writing of such attitudes, referred to "those who in their calculated ignorance misinterpret African-Christian-Orthodoxy as 'paganism'" (Lemopoulos 1993:123). Much of what has been published in English has been fragmentary, dealing with a particular place or period. Orthodox mission in tropical Africa has had its ups and downs, and the situation has changed rapidly, so that descriptions of what was happening at times in the past may not apply today. Orthodox mission today is characterised by a huge variety. Just about every mission method ever found in any part of the world, at any time in Christian history, can be found here. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to try to give a broad survey of Orthodox mission in this part of the world. It is primarily historical and descriptive, rather than an analysis of the theology of mission. Obviously such a survey must be lacking in detail, but it should at least provide the context for interpreting other more specialised studies.

James Ayers
The Medicine Ring, Oil, 60" x 48"
James Ayers' art reflects the emotional connections he has made with the indigenous peoples he has spent time with. These connections have enabled him to develop many visual images inspired by experience, exploration, and observation of the different lands and people. These images have been enriched by James' personal ties to, and admiration for, the indigenous peoples of the world. James graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1991. He spent time traveling on foot with the semi-nomadic Samburu and Turkana people in Africa's Great Rift Valley and lived with the Hopi people of North America's Great Southwest. These experiences have given him empathy with the struggle of indigenous people to survive in the modern world and an artist's appreciation for the beauty of form, pattern, and embellishment of these cultures. His paintings can be found in collections throughout the United States. James' primary medium is oil on canvas. James finds that oil paint is an ideal medium for capturing the depth, drama and spirit of the subject matter he paints.

http://www.fao.org/docrep/w7540e/w7540e06.htm
Contents Previous Next 2.2 Species and varieties of wild animals eaten Virtually all species of wild animals are acceptable as a food resource to some group of people in Africa. Species which may be tabooed by one group of people are a delicacy to another group elsewhere. Species eaten vary from antelopes to monkeys, rodents. reptiles and a whole range of invertebrate species including snails, termites and beetles. Jardin (1970) lists hundreds of species belonging to 236 genera reported to be eaten by people in Africa. Bushmeat is eaten as fresh meat, smoked, salted or sun dried (biltong). Smoking is the most widespread form of preservation and smoked bushmeat is available in urban markets in most African countries. The range of species taken and relative importance of the different species have been documented for several areas of the continent and vary from locality to locality depending mainly on the species available for exploitation in each region and also on hunting restrictions enforced in each county. Rodents are particularly important in terms of range of species and numbers taken in many parts of Africa, possibly because they are not subject to hunting restrictions in many countries and also the fact that their high reproductive capacity makes them relatively more abundant. A comparison of the use of mammalian species in relation to species occurrence in different environments and the subsistence base of the people living in those environments showed that hunter-gatherer communities living in forest environments used a wider range of the species available to them, while pastoralist communities living in dry environments used only a limited number of species (Table 2.3).

PAGE OPTIONS Average Rating: None Given Print-friendly Version Email this page Review this Page Read Reviews Page 38/104 First Page Previous Page Next Page Last Page Herbs only known to pastoralists by Akall Gregory Pastoralists in the rugged, harsh terrain of Northern Kenya are increasingly using indigenous medicine rather than modern veterinary services to care for their livestock. Instead of relying on regular dipping and spraying with acaricide, which is expensive and unavailable in isolated areas, the herders are using locally available herbs to control ecto-parasites, particularly ticks. Surveys carried out in the Samburu and Turkana districts revealed that the two pastoral communities used more than 50 plant-based remedies to treat livestock diseases. The Intermediate Technology Development Group-Eastern Africa (ITDG-EA), an international non-governmental organisation, has been working with pastoralists in animal health care issues to equip them with knowledge to manage their livestock. The project, called Ethnoveterinary Knowledge (EVK), was designed to help communities stop depending on conventional drugs and to become self-reliant and confident when it comes to using local herbs. Dr. Jacob Wanyama, EVK Project Manager, says that livestock diseases such as East Coast Fever have killed thousands of cattle per year across Eastern and Southern Africa. This constraint to livestock production in communities located in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) "reduces productivity of millions."

http://www.wanderingnomads.com/intro.htm
Nomad: "Nomadic people are wanderers. The word nomad comes from the Greek nomados, which means 'wandering around in search of fresh pasture'". The philosophy behind 'Wandering Nomads' is just this; a means for people to take leave of the more conventional methods of exploring Africa by way of 'packaged safaris' or 'overlanding expeditions', to branch off this well beaten track, to step out of their motor vehicles, loose their inhibitions, put on a pair of walking sandals and experience Africa in the raw. To find fresh pasture so to speak, in both a cerebral and physical sense. In short we encourage people to go walk about in one of the most beautiful and remote regions of Africa where roads, as we know them, simply don't exist. This region is the Lake Turkana district of North West Kenya (or what used to be called in colonial times the 'Northern Frontier District'). It is a place of wild beauty and bewildering contrasts, accessible only to those of a self-sufficient independent predisposition, as the indigenous people who sparsely populate the area so readily demonstrate. It is to these nomadic people that this website and accompanying photo gallery are dedicated, for it is they that hold the key to the limitless canyons, volcanic mountains, soda lakes, open savannahs, deserts and endemic wildlife that epitomise the area. It thus follows that it is with these people you will share your journey and upon whose camels or donkeys you will place your packs. They will guide you through a terrain that would otherwise be un-negotiable. Along the way, hopefully, if your mind is open, you will gain an insight into the culture of a people whose customs have remained intact, barely touched by the passage of time or effected by external influence/contamination.

Kenya: Africa's variety show
by David Simpson As a tourist destination, Kenya has had mixed fortunes. But one thing has remained constant: This country probably has a greater variety of high quality attractions than any other in Africa. But does it offer the right safari experience for you? advertisement Towards the end of the long overnight flight south from Europe the sun comes up over the horizon to illuminate the vastness of Africa below. 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.

Main About Us Publications and Videos Regions and Themes ... Feedback Review of ethnobotanical literature from eastern and southern Africa
(A.B. Cunningham) 1. Introduction As ethnobotanical research is at the interface between disciplines, it poses an interesting problem in terms of literature review. Significant contributions are made to this field of study by anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, chemists, linguists and naturalists as well as botanists. Ethnobotanical research in East and southern Africa could be divided into five main themes in roughly historical order: (i) a focus, for more than a century, on recording vernacular names and uses; (ii) nutritional and chemical analyses of edible and medicinal wild plants species. These were compiled in Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk's classic (1962) book on East and southern African medicinal plants and by Fox and Norwood-Young (1982) and Wehmeyer (1986) on edible plants for southern Africa and Fowden and Wolfe (1957), Imbamba's (1973), Miege and Miege (1979) and Kalenga Saka and Msonthi (1994) for East and south-central Africa; (iv) quantitiative studies on human impacts on plant resources, particularly those entering commercial trade, such as the impact of palm sap tapping (Cunningham, 1990a,b), the harvesting of aloe resins (Bond, 1983), craft materials (Cunningham and Milton, 1987; Cunningham, 1987, 1988b), traditional medicines (Cunningham, 1991, 1993), Phragmites australis reeds (Cunningham, 1985) and Cymbopogon thatching grass (Shackleton, 1990).

An Africa Notebook
— By Sonja Darlington Interest in Africa is rapidly growing on campus, as faculty members’ teaching expands to include new disciplines, and students’ involvement follows. This is the first in an occasional series that explores current scholarship and teaching at Beloit. If one were to describe the links, interests and associations that Beloit College faculty and students have forged within the African continent, "pervasive" might be the operative word. Or perhaps a single word is insufficient to describe the remarkable cross-cultural exchange of ideas and discourse that flourishes among scholars at Beloit—and that continues to grow, given Beloit’s international student population and its visiting scholars bringing new of areas of research from across the globe. Sadique Isahaku and Ruth Meena are the scholars most recently arrived on campus from Africa. Other faculty with research and teaching interests associated with that continent are in the departments of anthropology, biology, economics, education, political science, and women’s studies.

KENYA is the country many people think of when they imagine Africa's vast sweeping plains covered with wildlife. It is a country of great wildlife diversity with a large variety of habitats from high snow capped mountains, to vast deserts, lush forests and spectacular beaches.
Masai Mara escarpment and plains full of wildebeest and rare black rhino. It is this diversity of habitats and the geographical location of Kenya between several different evolutionary centers that makes Kenya such a wildlife gem. In addition, there are numerous opportunities for cultural experiences with some of the indigenous people. Many of these tribes such as the Maasai, Samburu, Boran, Rendille, Turkana, Gabbra and Swahili still retain much of their traditional customs.
Traditional Samburu singing and dancing. A VARIETY OF WAYS TO SEE KENYA There are numerous ways to travel and see the different regions in Kenya. Perhaps one of the finest ways to see Kenya is traveling with a classic mobile-tented camp to a variety of parks and private ranches.
Tented Camp There is also a selection of private homes (which we call bush homes), which offer a limited number of accommodations on private game ranches that are often adjacent to parks and reserves. The standards of accommodations and service in these homes are among the finest to be found in Africa. They are all creatively built with local materials and fit in wonderfully with the surrounding environment. Many of these places are owner run and managed and are situated on or near tribal lands allowing one to experience the local African people in their everyday lives.

A pioneering new project to heal dying and degraded lands fringing Africa`s mighty deserts was launched today by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
The project, marking a new phase of the five year-old Desert Margins Programme, has numerous aims including conserving the rich and unique plant life that has evolved to survive in these dry and arid lands.
Experts believe the genetic diversity remaining in these desert margins could be a veritable treasure trove harbouring potentially promising drugs and products for 21st century agriculture and industry.
Under the scheme, key dryland areas and sites have been pin-pointed in each of the nine countries involved. These range from the Acacia Savanna of Matebeleland in Zimbawbe and the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Senegal to the Dwarf Shrub Savanna of southern Namibia and the denuded lands of the Kargi settlement in northeastern Kenya.
It is planned to unravel the key causes of land degradation and damage in each of these land areas before drawing up action plans for arresting and reversing the decline. The action plans will be blue prints for land recovery and wildlife conservation projects in similar kinds of desert margin areas elsewhere in Africa.

Geologists have long noted the excellent fit (in shape and geology) between the coast of Africa at the Gulf of Guinea and the Brazilian coast of South America, and they have evidence that Africa formed the center of a large ancestral supercontinent known as Pangaea. Pangaea began to break apart in the Jurassic period to form Gondwanaland, which included Africa, the other southern continents, and India. South America was separated from Africa c.76 million years ago, when the floor of the S Atlantic Ocean was opened up by seafloor spreading; Madagascar was separated from it c.65 million years ago; and Arabia was separated from it c.20 million years ago, when the Red Sea was formed. There is also evidence of one-time connections between NW Africa and E North America, N Africa and Europe, Madagascar and India, and SE Africa and Antarctica.
