The name, Department of Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology, takes after the names of three disciplines that form part of the Department. The interim merger of three disciplines came into being towards the end of the second semester in 2004.
Prof. Fundiswa Kobo
Chair of Department: Christian
Spirituality, Church History and
Missiology
I welcome you to the Department of Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology!
As Chair of the Department, I see immense potential in our department. We are not just educators, administrators, or researchers but custodians of transformation. Each of us holds a "full glass" of talents, knowledge, and passion to pour into our students, communities, and each other. Equally, we carry "empty glasses," open to learning, receiving, and growing together. This balance of giving and receiving strengthens us as individuals and as a collective.
The principles we have embraced—the Laws of Intentionality, Service, Vision, and Connection—are the ones that guide us as a department. They call us to action, to purpose, and to focus. They remind us to act with intention, to serve with humility, and to lead with clarity.
Looking ahead, I am inspired by the opportunities before us. We aim to break barriers, open doors, and create pathways honouring our students’ diverse realities and aspirations. And most importantly, we will embody the spirit of "I becomes we," uniting our efforts to achieve excellence in teaching, research, and community engagement.
Please join us on this journey!
