Aids, Ancestors and Salvation: Local beliefs in Christian ministry to the sick

Our joint education project with the Origins Centre at Wits continues. We have already helped over 500 young people to understand that it is possible to believe in both Creation and Evolution. Encourage your children to ask their teachers to book. Bookings are now being taken for learners in Grades 10, 11 and 12 for Sept 6, 8, 10, 13, 15 or 17 (not August as previously announced). For more information contact Ms. Theresa Morgan at Origins on 011 717 4708 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              011 717 4708      end_of_the_skype_highlighting.

Tsoseletsa is one of the Jesuit Institute's spirituality programmes. It is a group-based parish retreat running two hours every evening for a week. The retreat is based on Ignatian spirituality and adapted to suit African people. The team which runs the retreat is trained in Ignatian spirituality. At present we offer four or five retreats per year.

With the help of a focus-group of experienced African spiritual directors, JISA is exploring the implications of this ministry in the African context.
