CHRISTIANITY AND APARTHEID:

CHRISTIANITY AND APARTHEID:

INTRODUCTION

South Africa is in the news, and Christians are called upon to explain the relationship between Christianity and apartheid. Critics of apartheid often blame Christians for its existence claiming that racial oppression in South Africa is the fruit of Christianity. How are Christians to respond?

This annotated bibliography is an attempt to remind the Christian community that the question of the relationship between Christianity and apartheid is hardly new, that already a large literature exists dealing with the subject. It is written in the hope that Christians who are truly concerned about South Africa will pause before rushing into print and will acknowledge the work of others before them. It is also written to draw the attention of the Christian community to writers who have al ready struggled with what is one of the most pressing issues of today.

T.D. Jakes Gives Leadership Principles

he motto "igniting the flame of servant leadership," and Jakes certainly did that. He told the story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet, showing that God Himself knew that the way up was down. He reminded us that if we exalt ourselves God has promised to humble us, but if we humble ourselves, God will exalt us.

But he did say that many white Americans cannot appreciate the significance of realizing that the American Dream is accessible to all Americans.

He pointed out that companies that do not change, such as the grocery story A&P, no longer exist. He told us to not surround ourselves with people who think just like we do, and that diversity is not just in the color of skin but also in how we think. Meeting new people, understanding new people and even experiencing their pain helps us to be more accessible.

"Businesses wither and become stale if they stay the same." But the message that he emphasized over and over again was that "the only way to become big is to get small enough to serve." A quote I jotted down in my notes is: "Real power is not at the top, but at the bottom."
