Ethnic conflicts characterise much of Africa today. While Christian values are expected to foster national cohesion and identity, more often than not, Christianity has provided a convenient and effective rallying point around which ethnic conflicts are mobilised. This writer adopts a historical perspective to interrogate negative ethnicity and the Church in Africa using illustrations from Kenya. She challenges the Church to ‘re-route’ its mission for ‘love, justice and real humanity lived by Christ and based on him’ (Okolo).

ABSTRACTThis study focuses on the residents of three ecclesiastical homes for the elderly in The Hague in the i9th century. These homes took in poor members of the church who were at least 60 years old. Most of the elderly who resided in these homes had received poor relief before their admission. The main reason for their decision to request admission to a home was that they were no longer able to run a household independently. Most of the residents were well past the age of 60 upon entering the home, women generally being a few years older than men. There were no significant gender differences in duration of residence. The female age at death was a few years higher than for males. The health of the residents appeared to be worse than that of the total elderly population of The Hague, resulting in a higher death rate. In general, residents had independently run a household prior to admission.

Doctrinal discipline is a necessary concomitant of ministerial accountability and ecclesial integrity. When there is division in the Church the consequence of that division is expressed in articles or confessions of faith which, in the words of the Declaration of Assent, indicate how that Church ‘bears witness’ to the Christian Gospel and the faith once delivered to the saints.

Penelitian ilmiah ini membahas tentang pelayanan pastoral terhadap kaum lansia ditengah pandemic covid-19. Pelayanan pastoral terhadap jemaat kaum lansia yang ada di dalam gereja adalah sesuatu yang penting karena diharapkan para lansia tetap dapat digembalakan dan diberdayakan sesuai dengan kapasitas atau potensi yang ada pada mereka sekalipun ditengah pandemi covid-19, bahkan diharapkan kaum lansia dapat tetap mengaktualisasikan diri. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif, penelitian kepustakaan (Libarary Research) fokus pada penafsiran Kitab Suci sesuai dengan kaidah gramatikal, historical, dan konteks. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan bukti data Alkitab bahwa orang lanjut usia masih memiliki potensi yang dapat diberdayakan, sebagaimana Tuhan tetap memakai tokoh-tokoh Alkitab di usia senjanya sehingga pelayanan pastoral terhadap kaum lansia ditengah pandemi covid-19 tetap dapat dijalankan dengan baik.   ABSTRACT _______________________________________________________________ This scientific research discusses pastoral care for the elderly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pastoral care for the congregation of the elderly in the church is important because it is hoped that the elderly can be shepherded and empowered according to their capacity or potential even in the middle. COVID-19 pandemic, it is hoped that the elderly can still actualize themselves. The research method used is qualitative, library research (Library Research) focuses on the interpretation of the Scriptures by grammatical, historical, and contextual rules. The purpose of this study is to show evidence of biblical data that the elderly still have the potential that can be empowered, as God continues to use biblical figures in his old age so that pastoral care for the elderly amid the COVID-19 pandemic can still be done well.
