    Legacies of transformational leadership: A critical analysis of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa�s social agency role in a time of new Kairos challenges
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Walters, Grant Bradley; Swart, Ignatius
    In 1985/6, the Kairos Documents emerged from the anti-apartheid struggle as a devastating critique of an evil political ideology called �apartheid� and the serious challenges it presented to the church and society. Although the Kairos Documents and subsequent formulation of other kairos documents were not the specific focus of this study, these were used as a backdrop to show the impact a strong prophetic witness of word and deed can have on a country in crisis and in desperate need for change.

    Pastoral care responses to clergy sexual abuse: a case study of the Anglican church of Southern Africa
    (University of Western Cape, 2021) Koloti, Rhine Phillip Tsobotsi; Nadar, Sarojini
    While media attention seems to suggest that clergy sexual abuse (CSA) occurs primarily in the Roman Catholic church, specifically with children, or in the so-called �unregulated� charismatic churches between charismatic leaders and pious women; the #churchtoo movement suggests otherwise. For example, the multiple cases of clergy sexual abuse from different dioceses in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA) which has come to the fore since 2018, indicates how serious the problem is. The prevalent increase in sexual violence is despite the 2002 document called �Pastoral Standards: Practices and procedures for all in ministry� adopted and authorized by the Anglican Church of Southern Africa to provide canonically binding guidelines and detailed processes which ought to be followed where sexual (and other) clergy misconduct is reported.
