Abstract

This article examines the liturgical practices of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in South Africa (EPCSA), focusing on its Sunday liturgy, within the broader context of cultural and linguistic considerations. The EPCSA, formerly known as the Tsonga Presbyterian Church (TPC), has a diverse array of liturgies, each composed in Tsonga. Liturgy, as an integral part of worship, has evolved over the history of Christian practices, influenced by various cultures and people. This study emphasizes the cultural aspect of liturgy, asserting that the incorporation of nature into the relationship with God holds cultural significance. While the Tsonga language remains central to the EPCSA's tradition, the changing demographic landscape, with the church previously comprising Tsonga-speaking members exclusively, necessitates a reconsideration of its liturgical approach. The article utilizes a literature review to argue that the current Sunday liturgy may exhibit exclusivity. It underscores the importance of adapting liturgical practices to accommodate changes in the composition of the congregation, emphasizing the unity of diverse individuals coming together to worship a shared God despite their differences.

Abstract

South Africa is guided by the Constitution which entrenches equality among citizens, regardless of gender, race, religion or political affiliation. In the same vein, the Constitution also recognizes the right to practise one’s religion and culture. Religious and cultural practices must respect the diversity of the society. Such respect must also be observed within the community and religious spectrum. It is in this perspective that this paper investigates whether religious and cultural practices are carried out equally within the Black community. The authors, through a review of literature and observations carried out within the Black community, found systemic violations and discriminatory practices between men and women. The authors found that women are being subjected to abuse in the name of culture and that some practices, such as cleansing ceremonies, violate their dignity. The authors recommend a degree of fairness in cultural practices and that both genders should be subjected to the same practices or treated equally.

Abstract

Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa has always been a focal point for research, with some contending that the preachers brainwashed Africans when they carried the gospel to them since they neglected to learn Africanism. This stays a discussion among the Evangelical   Presbyterian Church in South Africa (EPCSA) where the creator of this study is a pastor. It has been stated that when a person becomes a Christian, that individual can never again discuss precursors or converse with predecessors, these terms refer to ancestors It is a transgression, while others say nothing bad can really be said about going to chapel yet rehearsing your African convictions and customs. African religion has faith in predecessors and Christianity has confidence in God. In any case, African religion accepts that God exists yet at the same time wants to get assurance from their ancestors. Some contend that there is nothing out of sorts when individuals practice their African convictions because it is not destructive to them or the following individual. Along these lines, African Religion (AR) instructs that it is critical for one to look for available resources to control or control those outer powers and offices that are more remarkable than human comprehension. This is done through ceremonial practices, mystical recipes, and charms endorsed by strict specialists to the individuals who feel compromised. It is inappropriate to expect that all Africans are something similar and that their customs are something similar or practice for similar reasons. Nonetheless, there are similitudes between African societies. Religion ought to assume a basic part in the redefinition of this peculiarity, as devotees haggle between standard regulations and strict rules. This study will analyse the confirmation that Christianity in the sub-Saharan Africa is a peculiarity and that it ought to lead strict synchronization into new world convictions and strict African practices. African Customs, given the circumstances, include exactly the secret of human reality, our individual, our relations with others and with the world. It contacts that reality that is not to be gotten a handle on and which cannot be verified.

Abstract

This article examines the role of practical theology in responding to femicide and gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa, one of the countries with the highest rates of violence against women globally. The study aims to analyze how practical theology can function as a reflective–transformative framework to challenge religious patriarchy, to build victim-centered pastoral praxis, and to promote prevention and social transformation through the engagement of faith communities. The research employs a qualitative approach with an exploratory–descriptive design, combining thematic analysis of interviews with church leaders and local religious actors with a critical review of literature on practical theology, African feminist theology, and faith-based intervention studies. The findings reveal three main points. First, patriarchal theological language and interpretation operate as a symbolic architecture that normalizes violence through the sacralization of family unity, the privatization of suffering, and the spiritualization of women’s sacrifice. Second, church pastoral praxis remains ambivalent: it can provide an initial space of protection for survivors, yet it can also prolong risk when it lacks victim-safety standards such as do no harm, security-based confidentiality, informed consent, and cross-sector referral mechanisms. Third, faith community engagement proves most transformative when practical theology operates as public ethics—through relational education on respect, consent, and non-violence; the formation of men and young men; bystander interventions; gender justice advocacy; and interdisciplinary collaboration with health, legal, and social services—supported by traceable impact indicators. This article argues that practical theology holds strategic capacity to transform churches from ambivalent normative institutions into public moral actors that contribute concretely to GBV prevention, survivor protection, and social norm change. In terms of originality, the study offers a conceptual contribution by positioning practical theology as a bridge between faith, survivors’ lived experiences, and measurable social transformation within the South African context.
