Among the articles in this issue are: Diakonia and the Stranger: Reflections on Diaconal Challenges through Religious Pluralism from a European Perspective by Johannes Eurich. From the publisher: "Migration has put the issue of the stranger into the centre of attention in many European societies. This article reflects upon the experience of alienness from a phenomenological and biblical perspective in order to show how complex the processuality is which alone can adequately relate the own to the other. On this basis, the engagement with the stranger is displayed as a diaconal challenge and points of reference for the diaconal praxis are developed." Also: The Difficulty of Reconciliation after the St James Church Attack. by Garth John Mason. From the publisher: "This article is a comparative reading of the autobiography Child of this Soil: My Life as a Freedom Fighter by Letlapa Mphahlele and the memoir by Charl van Wyk, Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self-Defence. The two texts culminate in recounting of the St. James Church attack in 1993 and the two menÂ's subsequent reconciliatory meetings. Mphahlele ordered the attack as an APLA commander and Van Wyk was the parishioner who fired back at the APLA attackers. Of interest are the conditions of possibility for dialogue between Van Wyk and Mphahlele in the context of the national narrative of reconciliation.". First Edition. Softcover. New.
