Abstract
This article is part of several contributions that was presented at the 2015 Southern
African Missiological Society (SAMS). The conference theme was undergirded by
the theme of the World Council of Churches (WCC) assembly in Busan, South Korea
and the recent Encyclical of Pope Francis of the Roman Catholic Church; 'Together
towards life'. The specific contribution of this article lies with the role of personhood
in development. The question that I seek to address is to what extent the influential
models of development proposed by Korten and more importantly, the ecumenical
movement, can do justice to the category of personhood. A secondary question is
the complex process through which people come to accept responsibility for addressing
their situations.
