Abstract
This article reported on two research projects, the first conducted in the early 1990s and the second, a project currently in progress. In essence, the article was an attempt to compare the theology of African Independent Churches in the two respective periods by making use of a grounded theory approach to their worship services. Significant similarities and differences were identified and reported on.
Highlights
In this article1, two research projects will be described and discussed
The first project was conducted in the early 1990s and the second is currently running
Their research findings were reported in an official document called Skrifgebruik in die Onafhanklike Afrika Kerke (1992)
Summary
Both were funded research projects involving liturgy and preaching in African Independent Churches (AICs). In order to come to grips with the very innovative liturgical material, which is foreign to a person from the developed world, a participatory research method was adopted in this specific study within the overarching research project, which was to analyse five services, all held in Phepheni; all the sermons were transcribed5.
