Origin and Development of the âNew Apostolic Reformationâ in South Africa: A Neo-Pentecostal Movement or a Post-Pentecostal Phenomenon?
Within South African Pentecostal/Charismatic spheres, since 2000, a new
configuration has surfaced that has been called the âNew Apostolic
Reformationâ (NAR). The adherents of this movement have sounded a call for
the Pentecostal/Charismatic church, in particular, to return to what they describe
as the âApostolicityâ of the church.
The emergence of this New Apostolic Reformation is more than a South
African phenomenon. C Peter Wagner, almost a decade and a half ago, in his
book, Churchquake (1999: 5-8) contended that there were, at least forty
thousand âApostolicâ churches representing approximately eight to ten million
members in the USA. He asserted that this New Apostolic Reformation is also
rapidly growing in all of the six continents and is the âgreatest change in the way
of doing church since the Protestant Reformation.â
In South Africa the following New Apostolic Reformation groupings
have emerged, namely the New Covenant Ministries International (NCMI),
Grace International (GI), Congress World Breakthrough Network (C-WBN),
International Strategic Alliance of Apostolic Churches (ISAAC) and Judah
Kingdom Alliance (JKA).
The paper will also contend with the nature and extent of their deviation
from âmainstreamâ Pentecostal doctrines and practices.
A number of theories have attempted to explain the emergence of new
religious movements (NRMs), inter alia, deprivation, revitalisation, and
brainwashing. This study focuses on one of these theories, namely,
revitalisation, but also favours a holistic approach to an understanding of the
NAR
Measuring the lung function in the mouse: the challenge of size
Measurement of the effects of drugs, mediators and infectious agents on various models of lung disease, as well as assessment of lung function in the intact mouse has the potential for significantly advancing our knowledge of lung disease. However, the small size of the mouse presents significant challenges for the assessment of lung function. Because of compromises made between precision and noninvasiveness, data obtained may have an uncertain bearing on the mechanical response of the lung. Nevertheless, considerable recent progress has been made in developing valid and useful measures of mouse lung function. These advances, resulting in our current ability to measure sophisticated indices of lung function in laboratory animals, are likely to lead to important insights into the mechanisms of lung disease

Quantitation of aflatoxin B1 adduction within the ribosomal RNA gene sequences of rat liver DNA.
Catalyst for carbon monoxide oxidation
A catalyst is disclosed for the combination of CO and O2 to form CO2, which includes a platinum group metal (e.g., platinum); a reducable metal oxide having multiple valence states (e.g., SnO2); and a compound which can bind water to its structure (e.g., silica gel). This catalyst is ideally suited for application to high-powered pulsed, CO2 lasers operating in a sealed or closed-cycle condition
Towards a postcolonial Pentecostal historiography : ramblings from the South
Peer reviewedThis article focuses on contestations around the birth of
Pentecostalism. Azusa Street Pentecostalism is very well documented
therefore the bias was tilted in its favour. While this
expression of Pentecostalism opened up new frontiers it also
displayed some regrettable retreats around the issue of race
relations. In stark contrast, both in South Africa and in Brazil,
inter alia, societal concerns, inclusive of racial issues have
been taken up by a new breed of Pentecostals. The current state
of Pentecostalism reveals that the majority of Pentecostals live
outside of the USA and Canada and that the rapidly emerging
churches in the southern world are Pentecostal and indigenous,
and function autonomously from Western Pentecostalism.
Starting from the eighties, large independent Pentecostal
churches have emerged in Africa. African Pentecostalism in
South Africa is a relevant, flexible and rapidly increasing
Christian formation. Unlike the dualistic tendencies of Western
Christian approaches, the African Pentecostal worldview does
not separate the physical from the spiritual or the individual
from the social. Los Angeles cannot be viewed as the âJerusalemâ
from which the âfull gospelâ imperialistically emanated
centrifugally to the world. Other equally significant and simultaneous
Pentecostal outpourings have been overlooked. Pentecostalism
historiography may have to engage in perhaps one of
the most important postcolonial ecclesiastical reconstructions
yet.Research Institute for Theology and Religio
