Teaching Prolegomena in Systematics and some Church Law

This year I am starting off a new Dogmatics course and there Prolegomena are the starting point. A class of nine students have started off. We are still missing most of the Ugandans - but they usually come in after some time, so we are just biding their time, but doing our regular stuff anyway.
My father's latest publication of the Zulu Dogmatics I is right on time to use for this course. Congratulations and many thanks to him for getting this done! We are hopeful that he will finish all volumes of this mammoth task. Sadly we only have a small number of Zulu students at the Seminary. However for Church and the wider context in Southern Africa this is a very timely publication! 
For the first time I am teaching a course in Church Law. We are looking closely at the Constitution of the Lutheran Church in Southern Africa, which is available in Zulu, Tswana and English. This is fascinating stuff! Especially because the fathers of our Church made such a good job of this a number of years ago. Perhaps we should publish this constitution as a hard-cover too!
