This thesis is an investigation of the "sense of call" as a potential support factor for Mennonite women missionaries from North America based in Central Africa during the latter half of the twentieth century. The investigation is conducted in two main parts. In the first we investigate the theological-historical distinctives of the Anabaptist/Mennonite tradition; in the second part, through a case study, we examine how a select number of women missionaries interpreted their call in relation to their heritage, how their sense of call functioned as a support factor or otherwise, and whether this was determined in any significant way by the Anabaptist/Mennonite tradition. Central to the study is a pastoral concern for women missionaries as women whose missionary role has placed special burdens on them in situations of cultural dislocation. 2014-10-31T18:04:35Z 2014-10-31T18:04:35Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9013 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
