AFRICAN THEOLOGY AND THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA [a work in progress] Presented to the Canadian Theological Society May 25, 2001 by Ian D. Ritchie, Ph.D. St. John's Anglican Church, 41 Church St., Kingston, ON., K7M 1H2 The paper assesses the role played by African theologians in advancing the status of women in Africa. The perception (common in western church circles) of the African church as a bastion of conservatism and patriarchy will be examined critically. Starting with a brief overview of gender in precolonial Africa, moving to an analysis of the influence of mission Christianity and the African Initiated Churches, the paper concludes with an evaluation of the influence of African theologians. The conclusion that Christianity may be moving African women towards equality more rapidly than in western societies speaks of a positive relationship between academic theology, church and society.[ An earlier version of this article formed a chapter of the author's 1993 doctoral dissertation, African Theology and Social Change.

Gender, the Economy and the Workplace Ira Acharya Tribhuwan University, Nepal Email: ira_acharya@hotmail.com Gendering the Economy through Micro-Enterprises: The Experience in Nepal With an alarming 42 percent of the people below the absolute poverty line, Nepal is facing tremendous pressure to design and implement effective poverty reduction programs. An initiative to this end by the Government of Nepal is the launching of a Micro-Enterprises Development Programme in collaboration with UNDP and several national partner agencies. The program is designed to support the Ninth Plan (1997-2002) in which poverty reduction through off-farm employment is the key goal. The program intends to foster establishment of micro-enterprises among low-income families in the rural areas of Nepal - 70% of the beneficiaries will be women. The paper will focus on the extent to which the program empowers women. Issues of equity in program formulation, design, as well as implementation will be discussed and will be the basis of making recommendations for gendering the economy.

Assee aKHeeyaaN wiChChaa ke beThey jey. Gee aayaaN nooN. I visited Lahore to attend two days conference on Sufism organised by World Punjabi Congress, chaired by Fakhar Zaman. I could stay there only for one day. Many good speakers (scholars of Sufism) were there including Shafqat Tanveer Mirza, Ahmed Saleem, Nadim Shahid etc. Self praise is no praise. My work on Mian Mohammad Bakhsh and Waris Shah was admired by all. Indirectly, this gathering became as a meeting of inauguration of the books as these only two books were available. Friends asked me to do the next work on Baba Bulha Shah instead on Baba Farid who was the next in the series of my Sufis's work. The kalam of Bulhah Shah is very much needed in the present circumstances. Let us hope that when you come here you get loaded with these three books.

Welcome Antiques Masks Personal Items ... About Us TRIBAL INFORMATION Baule Dan-Guerre Gilbert Islands Guro ... Zande Mangbetu BAULE The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Ivory Coast. Three hundred years ago the Baule people migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. The tale of how they broke away from the Asante has been preserved in their oral traditions. During the Asante rise to power the Baule queen, Aura Poku, was in direct competition with the current Asante king. When the Asante prevailed, the queen led her people away to the land they now occupy. The male descendant of Aura Poku still lives in the palace she established and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king. The Baule are noted for their fine wooden sculpture, particularly for their ritual statuettes representing ghosts or spirits; these, as well as carved ceremonial masks are associated with the ancestor cult. Baule art is sophisticated and stylistically diverse. Baule have types of sculpture that none of the other Akan peoples possess: masks (which, like their low-relief doors, seem to indicate Senufo influence) and human figures, apparently sometimes used as ancestor figures. The figures and human masks, the latter reported to be portraits used in commemorating the dead, are elegantwell polished, with elaborate hairdressings and scarification. More roughly finished are the gbekre figures, representing minor divinities in human form with animal heads. Masks are made also to represent the spirits of the bush: antelope, bush cow, elephant, monkey, and leopard. Boxes for the mouse oracle (in which sticks are disturbed by a live mouse, to give the augury) are unique to the Baule.
