Professors Detlev Schulz and John Pless started the final phase of the Advanced Course on the 1st March. After a week with Grace Rao from LCMS World Relief & Human Care [WR&HC] and Cori Wierenga the course started with Catechesis [Pless] and Theology of Missions [Schulz]. Besides the contingent from the Lutheran Church in Southern Africa: Dean Mandla Thwala [KwaZulu/Natal], several pastors, deacons and vicars plus a delegation from the Women's League two pastors from the FELSiSA also joined the study group: Rev. Kurt Boehmer [Uelzen] and Rev. Klaus Damaske [Pretoria] plus Mr. Kurt Paul [Panbult].
This week this course will continue. The reception from the side of the students has been great. The teachers from CTS Ft.Wayne have done a marvellous job and we are looking forward to the next and final week of the 3 week course.
Over the weekend the teachers visited Soweto: The Apartheid museum plus the Hector Pieterse memorial. Today Prof. Pless preached on the Epistle from Ephesians in the Lutheran Church of Mabopane. The local pastor Rev. Dirang Bojane had invited Prof. Pless to join in the mammoth service of 31/2 hours with Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
