New Worship in Africa Research Group


Posted on 19 April 2012

The new Worship in Africa Research Group (WARG) of the Department of Practical Theology hosted a mini-conference with the theme “Prophetic Preaching” on 13 April 2012.

The speakers were Prof Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, Professor of Worship and Preaching at Yale University, and Prof Hennie Pieterse. After the two excellent papers, the group enjoyed a fruitful discussion regarding the theme. Prof Tisdale donated copies of her books entitled Prophetic Preaching. A Pastoral Approach (WJK) and Teaching Preaching as a Christian Practice (co-edited with Thomas Long) to the UP library. The visitors took a guided tour of Pretoria, led by Prof Pieterse, during the day and enjoyed dinner with their hosts in the evening.

WARG will host Prof Marcel Barnard from the Netherlands and Dr Abamfo Atiemo from Ghana later this year. For enquiries regarding the group, contact Cas Wepener at cas.wepener@up.ac.za or visit the teo.co.za website and click on the link “Liturgie”.
