The use of music in pastoral therapy within the structure of a model of discourse In "n poging om die verbinding tussen musiek en pastoraat in "n na-moderne era uiteen te sit -en dit so prakties moontlik te doen -moet dit myns insiens binne "n gespreksmodel gedoen word. Die doel van hierdie studie is nie om empiriesgeverifieerde resultate te verskaf nie. Dit is hoogstens om die moontlikheid van die verbinding tussen musiek en pastoraat te ondersoek. Die idee is om "n sensitiwiteit en openheid tot die moontlikheid vir die gebruik van musiek in die pastoraat te kommunikeer. Louw (1997:304) poog om met "n gespreksmodel vir pastorale terapie die teorie (pastorale teologie) en praxis (pastorale antropologie) te integreer, "met die oog op "n praktykmodel waarbinne die vraagstuk na "n metode vir effektiewe kommunikasie van die heil aan die orde gestel word." Die fasemodel wat Louw voorstel, weerspieël sy aanname dat die affektiewe, kognitiewe, konatiewe en normatiewe dimensies "n deurslaggewende rol in mense se gedrag speel. Louw (1997:305) beklemtoon dat die fases siklies en as "n vervlegde spiraal gesien moet word, en nie as liniêre opeenvolging in tyd nie. Wanneer ek musiek dus binne hierdie model voorstel, is dit met hierdie voorbehoud in gedagte. Juis omdat musiek, soos geloof, die mens op al hierdie vlakke gelyktydig aanspreek, is dit "n uitstekende medium om van gebruik te maak binne "n pastorale ontmoeting. INLEIDING MUSIEK EN PASTORALE TERAPIE BINNE 'N GESPREKS-MODELDaar is ook "n ander belangrike voorbehoud ter sprake. Soos reeds betoog, dra die teologiese teorie "n bepaalde gewig in die pastorale ontmoetingsgebeure. Die aanspraak van die Skrif bly die belangrikste gesag en die imperatief moet saam met die indikatief en beloftes van die kerugma aan die persoon in nood oorgedra word. Wanneer ek nou musiek bytrek as moontlike hulpmiddel, is dit met hierdie voorbehoud in gedagte.Louw bespreek die totale teologiese teorie en gebruik van geloofsbronne binne die gesprek in sy boek Pastorale ontmoeting en vertolking, daarom kom dit glad nie hier aan die orde nie. In hierdie studie stel ek dus belang in die rol wat musiek in terapie kan speel (in hierdie geval pastorale terapie), waar geloof en die geloofsbronne die primêre metode van intervensie is. Die klem val dus op pastorale terapie, met musiek as hulpmiddel, as bykomende perspektief. Fase 1: KontakbouIn hierdie eerste fase ontmoet die pastor en pastorant. Tydens die eerste ontmoeting is daar "n reeds bestaande relasie tussen hom/haar en die pastor is of nie) angstig en gespanne wees oor die gesprek wat voorlê.Musiek kan "n onskatbare bydrae lewer tot die kontakboufase. Agtergrondmusiek in die ontvangskamer kan die aanvanklike angstigheid van die persoon kalmeer. Dit is moontlik dat musiek die eerste groet en ontvangs kan versag omdat die persoon se emosies en indrukke deur die musiek georden en gestruktureer word. "n Persoon wat glad nie ingestel is op musiek nie, sal moontlik nie eers bewus wees dat musiek speel nie, maar dit kan steeds "n kalmerend...

The accommodation and management of diversity at congregational level Diversity is becomming a prominent phenomenon of our society within a postmodern context. Many clergy and church members believe it threatens the peace and stability of churches and local congregations. Seemingly, diversity contributes to the escalation of conflict and the stress levels church leaders are experiencing. This article attempts to analize and describe the phenomenon of diversity from the angles of postmodernity, personality preferences and systems thinking. The research is based upon the hypothesis that diversity does not necessarily threaten the unity of local congregations. The manifestation of unity within diversity is only possible if leaders are sensitized to manage the challenges of pluriformity.
A church with character: The perspective of Gerben HeitinkMainstream churches worldwide are experiencing a decline in membership. The wellknown Dutch practical theologian Gerben Heitink’s (2007) latest book Een kerk met karakte, Tijd voor heroriëntatie is an attempt to address this phenomenon. This article is an overview of his book, with comments from other authors. Although emerging churches is constitute a movement separate from the institutional churches, Heitink still takes the existing church as point of departure. He suggests a process of reorientation and transformation within based on a matrix of eight critical factors. In conclusion, the article evaluates Heitink’s model from a personal perspective within the context of the Netherdutch Reformed Church of Africa.
The relationship between preaching and confessions in a post-modem society: A 'marriage' or 'free love'?. This article attempts, within the tradition of the Reformation, to investigate the relationship between preaching and the confession of the church. Through the ages, this relationship altered from a spontaneous interaction to a formal, judicial contract. This role prescribed to the confession, of being a formal and dominating instrument with judicial authority, is no longer acceptable in a postmodem society. The study aims to establish the specific nature of the relationship and to seek means to organize it in a way that will accommodate the demands of our time, but in an orderly manner that will also benefit the proclamation of the gospel.
