PMC Southern Africa at 5 years! By Patrick Keifert

Chance encounters that later appear the work of the Holy Spirit leave me filled with wonder and gratitude. Take for instance a chance encounter at the Center for Theological Inquiry in 2000. My dear friend of blessed memory, Donald Juel, was taking a leave of absence from his teaching New Testament at Princeton, to work on his continuing project of messianic exegesis, the origins of messianic expectations in the various forms of Palestinian Jewish religion before the life and work of Jesus, our Lord and how they help us understand the New Testament record. He and I were working on a ten year project on the Bible and Theological Education funded by the Lilly Endowment through CTI. I was visiting him for our continuing work and he introduced me to Coenie Burger, a member of the faculty at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Donald, in his usual unassuming but gleeful way suggested Coenie and I might have some things in common. So, while Donald did some other work on our project, Coenie and I sat in Don’s office and talked.

Four missional conversions

What can we learn from the fist 5 years of SAPMC? 2004-2009

2009 is a year full of celebrations. We celebrate Calvin’s 500 birthdays this year.  At Stellenbosch we celebrate the 150th year of Theology. These are such big events that our celebration of the five years of PMC in Southern Africa is almost insignificant. It should serve us a warning that what we do this week is within a much larger historical perspective. In the tradition of H Richard Niebuhr I see my task not to give you a historical overview of events in the formation the founding and growth of SAPMC but to ask questions about God, and to be more specific about the in breaking of the reign of God into historical events, into the everyday life’s of ordinary people in Southern Africa.  I do this with great humbleness, it is not our history, it is not our church it is not kingdom, it is Gods story, the Kingdom of God and of cause Gods people.
