SOKUPA, Mxolisi Michael. Documented memories of Richard Moko's life and contribution: a Seventh-day Adventist heritage reflection. Studia Hist. Ecc. [online]. 2015, vol.41, n.3, pp.171-183. ISSN 2412-4265.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2412-4265/2015/455.

The celebration of leaders has not been in the centre stage of Seventh-day Adventist practice. There are several reasons for this: the fear of this getting out of hand, leading to the veneration of human leaders; the contested histories and memories of leaders; and a need to create a distance between the dead and the living. This article reflects on the documented memory of contribution of a Seventh-day Adventist South African pioneer, Richard Moko.

Keywords : Richard Moko; Seventh-day Adventist; documented memories; missionary; ordained minister; Adventist heritage.
