"A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy"

"March 2014"

Bibliography: pages 246-260.

Introduction – I. Plato (circa 424 – 399 BC) and the Early Church Fathers – II. Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) and the Scholastics – III. John Calvin (1509-1564) and Reformation theology – IV. Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) and Evangelicalism – V. John Henry Newman (1801-1890) and Catholicism – VI. Alvin Plantinga (1932- ) and Reformed Epistemology – Conclusion.

The history of Christian thought has presented several varied concepts of how the Divine and human minds are related. The chapters of this thesis are six successive case studies of this ―divine sense‖ in western Christian thought. Research interest began about John Calvin‘s particular version: the sensus divinitatis (the sense of the divine). Initial efforts were to exposit its meaning and then discover from where the idea developed. Calvin sought to reproduce a biblical outlook. So the trail was expected to trace back to biblical starting points. Strangely, just immediately after the forming of the New Testament, Calvin‘s exact concept is missing. There is in early Christian centuries not an absence of any ―divine sense‖ – just that of Calvin‘s particular version. Research direction adjusted to take stock of the varied concepts represented across Christian history and via six case studies set out the development of the "divine sense".

The hope was to explain the development from a "divine sense" to a "sense of the divine". Each case study was seen in the intersection of their particular ideas with the philosophical winds of the times. The start is in Plato‘s ideas and their varied impact on the early Church fathers. Thomas Aquinas follows. Aquinas switched the major philosophical underpinning to Aristotle. The third is Calvin, the fourth Jonathan Edwards, and the fifth Cardinal John Henry Newman. Edwards and Newman‘s writings were against a backdrop of developing Modernity. The last is the Reformed Epistemologist, Alvin Plantinga, who utilized Aquinas and Calvin‘s idea of the sensus divinitatis in an apologetic to show that, due to the divine sense, belief in God can be responsibly and rationally held in the absence of outward evidence.

The historical thesis is that development can be seen if one "graphs a line" through these six sets of ideas. There is something to conclude about the persistence of the idea through history in terms of human awareness about God. Belief in God is not only due to gospel presentation, but also to the innate sense of the divine. The gospel being presented has as an ally within the people on the receiving end.

▼ This dissertation is an ethnography of the body as medium in the North American Spiritualist tradition. With its origins in the “burned-over district” of upstate New York, Spiritualism is a homegrown religious movement rooted in the radical Protestant milieu of “Great Awakenings,” which evolved into an international religious movement with a distinctly secular bent. Spiritualists, unlike Pentecostals and Evangelicals, de-emphasize faith or belief and understand the spirits as present to the “natural” senses and thus demonstrable as “evidences, ” complicating the dialectics of faith and skepticism. Situated within North American “metaphysical” traditions, 19th century and contemporary Spiritualism foregrounds the centrality of mediumship and thus the spirit medium’s sensorium, through its practices of spirit communication. The medium is a figure of mediation, one who communicates the spectral presence of the dead—or as the Spiritualists’ say, “There are no dead!”—to the living. This dissertation looks at how this emphasis on spiritual evidences draws out modern antinomies between secular and religious experience, and the certainty and doubt engendered by the medium’s attention to ephemeral affects, sensations and images that define spirit presence. As such, it takes as its point of departure the Spiritualist medium’s discernment of the spirit world as a practice of making the body a media, or instrument, for the visual, auditory, and haptic sensation of the spirits of the dead. Based upon over three years of ethnographic fieldwork and archival research, this anthropological study was conducted in Spiritualist Churches, home circles, training courses, and in mediumship centers in New York City, upstate New York, New Jersey and London, including many summers spent in the long-standing Spiritualist camp of Lily Dale, in northwestern New York State. As this dissertation proposes, a focus on bodily mediation allows us to think the body not only as a specific kind of media in the common technological sense, but as a sensory instrument for mediation in the originary ontological sense, as religious mediation across thresholds—between people and spirits, the living and the dead, God and creation, human and nonhuman forces. This work argues that Spiritualism places secular and religious notions of experience within an immanent frame, making visible the problem of a body affected—in this case, by “clouds” of spirits—and, more fundamentally, the problem of the body’s doubleness: as if always already shadowed by its own spectrality. Mediumship, it argues, addresses itself to a kind of evidence, where what is sought is a kind of experience: an experience in which the spirits become discernible, and are figured into a verifiable state to become evidence for others. By making the body the central instrument for mediating invisible forces of spirit, history, and affect, North American Spiritualism—it proposes—opens onto a set of problems connecting image, settlement and experience, laced together as a problem…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research process wanted to ask questions about the responsible integration of faith content within the construct of Spiritual Intelligence. This integration process is important to add meaning and awareness within a society that often lives with meaning blindness. To find the integration of faith content a conversation was necessary between Theology and Spiritual Intelligence. Danah Zohar is a proponent of Spiritual Intelligence and Dallas Willard a proponent of Theology. The broader purpose of this research was to facilitate an interdisciplinary, post-foundational, hermeneutical dialogue between Zohar and Willard to find new and shared knowledge on the construct of Spiritual Intelligence by forging connections across disciplines. These investigations also sought to challenge and enhance the construct of Spiritual Intelligence and develop new and shared knowledge. This search for new and shared knowledge specifically focused on the question about the content of faith that underpinned Spiritual Intelligence. The research methodology was a post-foundational and interdisciplinary dialogue. This research process was a dialogue between Theology and Science in order to find the shared knowledge. Practical Theology is about the practice of faith as well as the change and transformation in faith praxis. Spiritual Intelligence could empower individuals and groups to be more aware of the content of their faith and live more integrated lives, thus aiding the praxis of faith and transformation. The research presented Danah Zohar’s current literature on Spiritual Intelligence to provide an overview of her work and to look at the construct of Spiritual Intelligence from a wider theoretical perspective. The research also presented Dallas Willard and his key theological concepts, which were used in the process to find new and shared knowledge on the content of faith within Spiritual Intelligence. The challenge to be more aware of the content of faith and to live more integrated lives is a challenge to apply faith in action and to integrate faith for continuous transformation. This is applicable to the focus of Practical Theology. The dialogue, facilitated as a hermeneutical dialogue, provided a “middle space” through the fusion of the horizons of the two disciplines. From the hermeneutical fusion of horizons, this research presented Spiritual Intelligence as the construct to bridge the dichotomy between eurobiology and spirituality and the integration of faith content in terms of image of God, self-image and anthropology as well as worldview. It also presented Spiritual Intelligence as soulfulness and wisdom. Hopefully, this new shared knowledge between the two dialogue partners as well as the interpretations by the researcher will assist us to live closer, more aware and more integrated with our values in the whole of our lives, through meaning, awareness, integration, responsibility, living as good people with character and transformation. This can lead to people having a better and more conscious… Advisors/Committee Members: Thesnaar, C. H., Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Theology. Dept. of Practical Theology and Missiology..

▼ The scale and cadence of crises that demand international humanitarian response are on the rise and pose increasingly hostile and complex challenges to operational humanitarian leaders. The international responses to humanitarian crises since 2011 recognised the need for successful humanitarian leadership development that emphasises the importance of ethical and effective leadership. The under-achievement of operational humanitarian leaders in conflict-affected areas has long been a chief concern amongst humanitarian organisations and leadership scholars. Several approaches to the development of operational humanitarian leaders have been presented as possible solutions such as establishing new financing mechanisms; improving technical abilities, academic knowledge, simulation training, conflict management skills; conflict prevention training; and enhancing the capacity for collaborative networks. Despite various efforts, it is reported that ineffective and incompetent leadership is still a major constraint on the success and effectiveness of operational humanitarian response in conflict-affected areas. This research effort attempted to contribute to improving operational humanitarian leadership by considering a “human or people-centred approach”. The primary objective was to identify the factors that influence the successful development of the spiritual intelligence (SQ) of humanitarian leaders working in conflict-affected areas. The primary objective was, therefore, to improve the abilities and skills of humanitarian leaders by validating and analysing factors that should contribute to the development of spiritually intelligent leaders and, subsequently, improve humanitarian leadership performance. There is growing consensus that values, ethical behaviour, self-awareness, motivation, compassion, humility, empathy, co-ordination and the empowerment of others have a significant impact on the effectiveness of operational humanitarian leadership which emphasises the need for human or people-centred approaches in developing humanitarian leaders. The striking similarities between abilities pertaining to effective, operational, humanitarian leadership and the capabilities of a spiritually intelligent individual suggested an opportunity to investigate the development of a spiritual intelligence model for humanitarian leaders. The frequency, duration and intensity of humanitarian crises between 2004 and 2016 further emphasised the urgent need for operational leaders to develop and apply abilities based on spiritual intelligence in the humanitarian sector. Some scholars argue that the development of spiritually intelligent leaders should play an instrumental role in successfully responding to global crises.

▼ Problem Biblical spirituality was challenged from the very start of the Christian church by competing spiritual ideologies of philosophical origins. Because the interpretation of spirituality has focused on exegetical and doctrinal approaches (micro and mesohermeneutical levels), the grounding biblical macro-hermeneutical level of its basic presuppositions has been ignored. Yet this is the level that gives ultimate meaning to the meso and micro levels. This oversight constitutes a giant roadblock to understanding and experiencing true biblical spirituality, the consequences of which are devastating both for the individual believer (Matt 7:23), as well as for the mission, unity, and growth of the church at large. Method This thesis will first deconstruct the macro-hermeneutical foundations of three primary models of Christian spirituality-classical, Protestant and modern-through their selected representatives: Augustine, Martin Luther, and Teilhard de Chardin, respectively. Then the biblical model of spirituality will be outlined through a phenomenological study of the OT Exodus sanctuary-covenant structure, focusing on seven mountain meetings between God and Israel. Finally, a summary and comparison of the four models-classical, Protestant, modern, and biblical-will be presented. Results. The final comparison of the four models of Christian spirituality reveals that the three dominant models—classical, Protestant, and modern—are nearly identical in all their macro presuppositions. The biblical model, on the other hand, stands in unique contrast to them all in upholding 1) an analogically temporal, relational and missional theology and ontology; 2) a wholistic anthropology; 3) a cognitive epistemology based on faith in God’s historical words/acts; 4) a unified historical cosmology; and 5) a Christological metaphysical center where Christ operates historically through the sanctuary covenant, granting freedom to all rational beings with the present aim of spiritual restoration/union and the final aim of a physical restoration/reunion. Conclusion This study concludes that the Exodus sanctuary-covenant structure offers a spiritually compelling and biblically grounded alternative to other models of Christian spirituality. For those seeking to be faithful to the sola and tota Scriptura principles at the most meaningful meta-hermeneutical level, it is an option that must be seriously considered.

▼ Spiritual health is one of the essential components of health, where patients search for meaning and purpose in life. Patients with life threatening illnesses experience distress, both physically and spiritually. There are studies which found that nurses did not regularly integrate spiritual care into their daily routine, due to lack of time and lack of education. It is important to discover existing evidences of spiritual interventions which help the nurses promote spiritual health as regards to patients’ need in hospital settings. The aim of this study was to describe nursing interventions applied in promoting spiritual health for patients with life threatening illnesses in hospital settings. A literature review of sixteen articles was carried out. Articles were retrieved from CINAHL and MEDLINE databases to answer the study’s objective. Eleven articles were retrieved from the databases and five articles were found using an ancestry search. A process of re-reading and finding the similar categories from articles was being used to develop themes in analyzing the data. Results were categorized into three themes: person-centred communication, adapting a team approach, and modifying the physical environment. It was found that the nurses conducted a deeper level of communication which covered topics about patients’ wishes and hopes, and being there for patients as major interventions. The nurses also assessed patients’ spiritual needs prior to interventions, and were promoting patients and family belief and value in a respectful way. Family and referrals were also included in the intervention given by the palliative care team, moreover the nurses were providing privacy with regards to supporting a healing environment. In conclusion acknowledgement of dying is essential in providing appropriate care. It is essential for the nurses to be prepared adequately through education, to conduct spiritual care interventions within a person-centred care approach. The information from this study may improve the quality of delivering spiritual care in hospital settings for patients with life threatening illnesses. Further recommendation for future research is to explore deeper about various spiritual nursing interventions from various cultures.

▼ This thesis has been an explorative attempt to study the popularity of the New Age in the context of late modern culture. In doing so, I have tried to construct a broad and multidisciplinary framework of analysis in which the New Age could be located. Positioning the New Age in a larger discussion on late-modern subjectivity, I have tried to argue that the emergence and popularity of the New Age seems to correspond to certain significant changes within late-modern subject formation. I have argued that the socio-psychological conditions of late-modernity seem to have generated some existential anxieties that could have major implications for the construction of subjectivity. In order to gain more insight into the way these tensions and anxieties are played out on a psychological level, I have argued that the psychoanalytic discussion on narcissism could provide a valuable framework of analysis through which these processes could be studied. Narcissism, in this sense, refers to a psychic defence mechanism that produces an ill-supported and thoroughly fragmented constitution of self, in which the subject is submitted to a permanent quest for self-affirmation to cover over his disintegrated and depleted self-identity. As such, one could argue that the narcissistic personality disorder could be understood as a psychopathological symptom that could indicate and describe certain significant features of late-modem culture. Furthermore, I have argued that the social production of narcissism in society may have engendered the emergence and popularity of the New Age in late-modern culture. Employing a customized form of 'self-religiosity', the New Age seems to be tailored to address the needs and anxieties of a particularly narcissistic subject, by offering an alternative therapeutic discourse that could not only support this subject in the process of self-definition, but also provide him with a (fleeting) sense of ontological security, so desperately needed in the uncertain environment of the late-modern age. As such, I have argued that the emergence of the New Age could be understood as a defence against the anxieties that late-modernity generates. However, this thesis has merely been an explorative one, highlighting a broad range of questions, themes and discussions in which the New Age could be located. With this thesis, I thereby hope to make a small contribution to the study of the New Age as a burgeoning field of cultural analysis.

▼ In the 1980s, volunteer activities began to spring up in China. Since then, a variety of Chinese institutions and individuals have engaged in volunteering act. Thereinto, religious, especially Buddhist, groups and adherents have played an important role in promoting the course of Chinese volunteering work. However, studies, either English or Chinese, on religious volunteering in China remain scarce. Even though some researches mention religious volunteering, they mainly focus on its role in the overall development of Chinese volunteering cause, but seldom link volunteers‘ experience in a religious community to their spiritual dispositions and development. Therefore, this study attempts to make some contributions to this field by investigating the interplay between religious volunteering and volunteers‘ spiritual attributes. Ethnography is utilized as the main research method in this study. Participant observation and interviews are employed as the means of data collection. After three-month participant observation in Ningbo Fojiao Jushi Lin which is a volunteer-based Buddhist community, 22 of them are invited to take part in the semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study are generated principally based on the interviews and participant observation. The findings reveal that volunteers provide their service in Ningbo Fojiao Jushi Lin with multifarious intention, not just for the benefits of others. Although it is a Buddhist community, not all the volunteers do volunteering there because of the faith in Buddhism. However, volunteers are more or less instilled with Buddhist values and tenets while volunteering Ningbo Fojiao Jushi Lin, which makes some of them get into Buddhism and even become a Buddhist after a period of time volunteering in the community. The volunteering experience in Ningbo Fojiao Jushi Lin also has some other impact on volunteers‘ knowledge, character, family life, social relations, etc. Moreover, the findings also show that volunteers‘ dispositions in turn can exert a considerable influence on the community‘s inclination, practice and influence. The concepts of social capital and spiritual capital are used to better interpret the findings. The study reveals that one‘s spiritual capital plays a dominant role in motivating him/her to participate in religious volunteering activities, and on the other hand, volunteering in the religious community produces and accumulates volunteers‘ social capital, based on which one‘s spiritual capital is influenced as well. Furthermore, there exists a mutual impact between volunteers and the community in terms of spiritual attributes and corresponding practice, or in other words, an interaction between individual spiritual capital and organizational spiritual capital.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to identify the role of the Christian children’s worker in the spiritual nurturing of children living in the context of poverty. The nurturing of about twelve million poverty-stricken children in South Africa is an overwhelming task. This is especially true when these Christian children’s workers are an unrecognised force and unsure what such nurturing entails. Unintentionally children could be harmed by hurtful actions. This research is placed within the field of Practical Theology and has been undertaken from a Christian spiritual perspective. The thesis is designed as a literature study and utilised Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems approach as a lens in the research. It considered the effects of poverty on children and investigated children’s spiritual development in a context of poverty. An exploration of childhood poverty revealed that poverty is by nature complex, multidimensional and never stands on its own. Children’s lives are entangled within the web of poverty affecting all their life contexts. The invisible “violence” of poverty shapes all areas of children’s lives, leaving scars on their physical, cognitive, educational, emotional, behavioural, social and spiritual development which is carried throughout life. An investigation of children’s spiritual development revealed a renewed interest in children’s spirituality from different perspectives, which resulted in different emphases. Children’s spirituality, like a diamond which has multiple dimensions, includes relational consciousness, awareness-, mystery- and value-sensing, and concerns the wellness of the whole-person. Christian children’s spirituality, in addition, emphasises a conscious relationship with God in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Context, contextual learning and care for the whole child, which is based on a Christian premise, are essential aspects in the process of a child’s spiritual journey. The role of the Christian children’s worker is to ensure that spiritual nurture embraces all aspects of the lives of poverty-stricken children Practical theological reflections revealed that the perceptions of the Christian children’s worker can influence the effectiveness of ministry. Dangers of having a god complex, dualistic views, compartmentalising ministry and a flawed anthropology of children result in ineffective ministry. In contrast, even though poverty affects all relationships, God is already present with the poor, and the face of God can be found in each child. This requires treating them with dignity and guiding them in restored relationships. The principal conclusion was that the Christian children’s worker can play an important role in the spiritual nurturing of poverty-stricken children. The role includes providing a context of regular relationships with a high level of warmth, support and loving care and offering a Christ-centred Christian children’s ministry where children become aware of God’s presence in their lives.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The Mandorla: A Spiritual Memoir constructs a life-narrative and is an attempt to articulate and give structure to an inner world of struggle and conflict that fuels the spiritual journey of one woman—myself. It is a record of the tribulations, as well as moments of knowledge, divine insight, transcendence and ineffable bliss. The spiritual memoir is organised around four journeys, and while the journeys themselves only took around seven months in total, they map a spiritual odyssey that evolved over four decades from youth through to middle age. The journeys serve to ground an eclectic range of spiritual themes in places that provide temporal and spiritual reference points. The first section is centred on two journeys to the “East,” and is grounded in an Eastern philosophical and spiritual outlook. The initial expedition explores a youthful quest for truth in India; the second trip tracks a return to India just before the collapse of my marriage, and follows my life in middle age. The second section is centred on two journeys in the “West,” one to Central Australia, the other, a pilgrimage/sabbatical to England and Europe that explores, among other things, the feminine face of the Divine. “The Mandorla,” the final section, considers complementary opposites such as male–female, inside–outside, agony–bliss, heaven–earth and how these irreducible opposites overlap and exist together in a third liminal space, the mandorla, a place of potential reconciliation and apotheosis for the seeker–traveller. The accompanying exegesis is divided into three parts and examines a variety of spiritual autobiographical projects, especially works by female writers. The first chapter explores the genre of spiritual autobiography, and provides an historical overview exploring key texts, as well as documenting the process of the writing of the spiritual memoir and the challenges of working in an autobiographical, self-reflexive style. The second chapter investigates travel/pilgrimage and eco-spiritual writing, and also considers methodologies for understanding spiritual journeys. The third chapter of the exegesis reflects on the powerful autobiographical accounts of the spiritual journeys of two women in modernity—Monica Baldwin and Karen Armstrong. These memoirs parallel my own spiritual explorations and journey in The Mandorla and provide a form for reflecting on women’s spiritual experience in modernity.

▼ The assumption of the study was that children are capable of an intimate and real relationship with God. The question that is often asked is, "How does the church best help children to grow in that relationship?" The lack of an agreed upon definition and understanding of spirituality and the need for a sound and practical approach to helping children develop spiritually was the catalyst behind this research. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between ministry praxis and spiritual development milestones in the lives of Nazarene children. The literature review began with an examination of the history of spirituality, the biblical call to children's spiritual nurture, and the history of psychology and developmentalism. Attention was given to the typologies presented by Urban Holmes and David Kolb culminating in analysis of Michael Anthony's Children's Spiritual Formation Typology. A mixed methods approach was used to gather data. The process for development of the research instrument and the procedures used for implementation were clearly explained. The online instrument was completed by 201 (64.4% of the population) Nazarene children's pastors and analysis of the data was conducted using ANOVA testing. The respondents were assigned to one of the four ministry models based on their responses to the 24 statements on the survey instrument. By determining one's preferred ministry model and analyzing a variety of self-reported data, analysis of the relationship in the four spiritual development milestones was possible. In addition to the four spiritual milestones, growth rate of each of the ministry models was analyzed. The research was completed by conducting two focus group interviews to provide qualitative analysis of the data gathered from the survey instrument. Open-ended questions were presented to each focus group which further validated the analysis of the data. The statistical analysis of the data concluded that there are no significant statistical differences in the four ministry models and the four spiritual development milestones. Key words: child, children, development, formation, growth, milestones, ministry, nurture, praxis, spiritual, spirituality Advisors/Committee Members: Anthony, Michael J (advisor).

▼ This study centres on the teachings of Baba Sawan Singh in the Gurmat Siddhant. Babà Sawan Singh is a Satguru of the Beas line of the Radhàsoàmi movement. The Râdhâsoâmi tradition is a twentieth century manifestation of the medieval Sant tradition. The Gurmat Siddhant contains a modern day exposition of Sant Mat. The primary aim of this study is to explain and interprete the contents of the Gurmat Siddhant. In so doing Baba Sawan Singh's brand of neo-Santism is systematically presented and the synthetic nature of his teachings revealed. The study consists of a general introduction, eight chapters and a general conclusion. The general introduction outlines the early history of the southern and northern Sant traditions. It also characterizes the main features of the Sant belief system. The structure and content of the thesis is also outlined here. Chapter I examines the early development of the Radhasoami movement from 1878 to 1948. It analyzes the growth of the Agra and Beas camps and highlights Babà Sawan Singh's role at Dera Babà Jaimal Singh. Chapter II studies the concept of God in the Gurmat Siddhant. It examines Baba Sawan Singh's concept of the divine creator and the doctrine of divine self-expression. Chapter III analyzes the cosmogony and cosmology of the Gurmat Siddhant. It provides an appraisal of Babà Sawan Singh's interpretation of the Radhasoami scheme of creation. Chapter IV appraises what is said about the status and role of the Satguru. Chapter V looks at Surat Sabd Yoga as a spiritual discipline and explains its role as an instrument of spiritual salvation. Chapter VI defines the concept of bhakti in the Gurmat Siddhant. It explains how Babà Sawan Singh perceives bhakti as a devotional response to God. Chapter VII presents a studied appraisal of the ethics of the Gurmat Siddhant. It examines the idea of the relationship between ethical values and self-transformation as perceived by Baba Sawan Singh. Chapter VIII discusses the "unity of religions" thesis as it appears in the Gurmat Siddhant. It highlights Bàba Sawan Singh's primordialist approach to religion and examines what is said about the nature of religion. The general conclusion, presents an outline of the main features of Baba Sawan Singh's thought as discussed in the main chapters. It also developes a perspective regarding Babà Sawan Singh's neo-Sant syntheticism.

▼ Are there vestiges or elements of African traditional cultural beliefs and practices that affect the psychological and spiritual well-being of African Christian students in Tangaza University College (TUC)? If there are, how best can pastoral carers work with the affected students to help them deal with the issues and regain congruence? These questions, arising out of our practice in the Student Life Ministry in TUC, are the puzzles I set out this study to try to resolve. Our experience was that some of the students were presenting issues in counselling and spiritual direction emanating from unresolved conflict between their African backgrounds and the Christian faith. Observation was that the issues did not surface easily and when they did the carers were not sure how best to help the clients. I thus felt a need to find out what cultural issues affect the students, how the issues manifest in their lives and how best the pastoral care team could work with those affected to help the issues surface and be resolved. This is an original research designed as an inductive case study and to collect data, a multi-dimensional approach including focus discussion groups with students and members of the SLM, depth interviews with SLM members, selection of some vignettes of counselling and spiritual direction and practitioner observation - were used. The main finding is that there indeed are elements of African beliefs and practices that impinge on the psychological and spiritual wellbeing of some of the African Christian students in TUC. However, not all the students experience such dissonance as some have developed a synthesis between their two world views. Those who have not are embarrassed about and reticent in disclosing the issues thus the need for the pastoral carers to help them to integrate their traditional culture with their Christian faith. Clinical experience has shown that by combining two counselling models – the Rogerian Person-centred and Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, underpinned in a dialogical, theological paradigm, counsellors and spiritual guides can help the affected students not only to talk about the issues but also to work through them to re-gain equilibrium and enjoy greater fullness of life.
