“Storying” our past/Claiming our future: Theology and Development’s coming of age in South Africa
The field of “Theology and Development” commemorates 25 years this year of its establishment both at Stellenbosch University and in South Africa. It was established in the rainbow nation years of our fledgling democracy and as the field comes into its young adulthood, it behoves us to reflect not only on its legacy, but also on its place and positioning in the current South African context. Its establishment as a new scholarly field in 1998 by the first person of colour appointed to teach theology at Stellenbosch University sought to produce scholarship that challenged the status quo and trained faith-based practitioners with regard to their role in an inequal and impoverished society. It broke new ground and, in many ways, challenged Western theological normativities. This lecture, in the framework of decolonial storytelling or in the words of Day, ‘testifying’, which itself seeks to challenge normativities, seeks to construct meaning from the often-untold narratives emerging from this field, its scholars and its practitioners both in the past and in the present, so as to ‘read the signs of the times’ as we navigate the future.
