The sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion feature prominently in the liturgical worship of Protestant churches and the Reformed community in particular. The sacraments make the church different from other social institutions because its rituals are unique and life giving. In a sense, these unique rituals give the church an identity as a community that worships God. Without the sacraments there is no life in the church. The purpose and functions of the sacraments in the liturgical life of the church clearly shows that every church has an access to this fountain of life. The centrality of the sacraments in the church indicates that they are the life line of the ecclesial community. In essence these liturgical rituals are there for spiritual nourishment and growth of the church. With this in mind, this thesis is based on the premise that the administration of sacraments should nourish the people of God. Any sacramental practice that is contrary to the core tenets of the Reformed theology about sacraments demands scrutiny. The purpose of this research then is to probe the sacramental ministry in African Presbyterian congregations in Pretoria. ae2026 Practical Theology PhD Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-04: Quality education SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2020-07-15T13:09:16Z 2020-07-15T13:09:16Z 2020/04/08 2019 Thesis Nyawuza, MP 2019, The Sacramental Ministry in African Presbyterian Congregations in Pretoria : a Liturgical-Theological Critique, PhD Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/75271> A2020 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/75271 en © 2020 University of Pretoria.
