Aswoensdag: ‘n Gebed
Filed under: Christianity, community, Life, Liturgy, Religion, Theology — Leave a comment	March 7, 2014
Vertaal vanaf Ash Wednesday (Jim Burklo)
Op my voorkop
‘n Teken van die kruis
Gesmeer in as vanuit die vuur
Wat my hubris-paleis afgebrand het
En, saam met dit,
Die geld wat ek weg moes gee,
Die TV wat ek as sintuigverdower gebruik het,
Die tapyt waarop ek veronderstel was
om op te verskyn,
Die deure wat ek vir veronderstel was
om vir ander oop te maak,
Die koeverte wat ek veronderstel was
om vir liefdesbriewe te gebruik
Die wyse boeke wat ek so oop en bloot uitstal,
om die illusie te skep dat ek dit gelees het,
Die lee spasies in my fotoalbums,
waar my donkerder, swaarder, seerder oomblikke onthou moes word,
Die kalenders waar besoeke aan die wat dit die meeste nodig gehad het,
geskeduleer moes word,
Die rusbank van my verlamende oorgerustheid,
Die gemakstoel van my luiheid,
Die hemde wat ek volgestop het met my eie trots,
Die skoene wat ek met ander moes ruil,
sodat ons gereisde myle kon deel.
‘n Teken van die kruispad,
Waar ek kan wegdraai van die pad van verderf,
Na die Weg van die Lewe.
(vertaling deur Hanno Langenhoven)

Comment ‘n Gebed om Empatie en betrokkenheid
Filed under: Christianity, Liturgy, Prayer, Religion, Theology — Leave a comment	January 6, 2014
Vrygewige God, U het hierdie wêreld geskep vir almal om in te deel
Buig oop ons geklemde hande om te laat gaan van gierigheid wat die armes beroof
Blaas skoon ons ore om die pyn en angs te kan hoor van hulle wat uitroep vir geregtigheid
Ontbind ons harte om diegene wat deur skuld gevange gehou word te kan herken
Ontsluit ons lippe om die jubeljaar uit te roep, hier en nou
Mag ons versorging deeglik en ons eensgesindheid tasbaar wees
Mag hierdie gemeenskap ‘n teken van hoop wees
Want nou is U genadetyd

Comment An affirmation of community
Filed under: Christianity, community, Life, Liturgy, mystery, Religion, Theology — 1 Comment	September 5, 2013
I am here, because God is.
I don’t always know what the latter means,
But I believe that, somehow,
It says that God is involved
With the community at large
And ultimately with the community we call Earth.
Now, yesterday, and tomorrow.
I am here, because I belief that I can only know God because of God’s revelation
Especially in community
I confess that Jesus, the Christ
Is the pinnacle of this revelation
That in him God’s compassion,
And self-sacrifice is absolutely present.
I am here, because, even though Christ is not physically with us anymore,
The absolute presence of God’s compassion,
And self-sacrifice is with us
Through the gift that is the Holy Spirit.

Comment Re-imagining Church: Women Clergy
Filed under: Absurdity, Christianity, community, Religion, Theology — Leave a comment	November 21, 2012
The newspaper headlines proclaimed on the lampposts and airwave that caught my attention was “Sex workers do not go to Church” and “Woman bishops: Church of England votes no”. The latter set the blogosphere ablaze with articles highlighting the absurdity of being penis-endowed as one (the most important?) of the criteria for being a bishop.
The first headline did not have merely the same exposure as the latter, but read in conjunction with the latter, telling none the less. But before I continue my way of thinking on the interaction between the two headlines, please allow me a short side comment on my immediate context, the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa. It would be easy to side step this debate on woman being part of the clergy because women have been ordained as ministers of the church for some time already. Such a manoeuvre would unfortunately not be the most honest appraisal of how licensed and ordained women experience the equality of the clerical playing field in the church.
It might not be surprising that sex workers, many of them being woman, don’t attend worship in the same place where woman are excluded from facilitating the worship. It might just be that in rethinking what church we desperately need to realize that we are all created in the image of G-d, that to be fully church we both need female and male voices, and that a more feminine approach might be the transformative power we desperately need in our current day and age. Maybe the time has come that we take the Holy Scriptures more seriously if it refers to the church as the Bride of Christ, intrinsically female. If we do that, how is it possible to exclude woman from clergy and make sex workers feel unwelcome?
