KAUNDA, Chammah J. Reconceptualising eucharist as subservient ritual: A missiological response to public violence in Africa. Scriptura [online]. 2015, vol.114, pp.1-12. ISSN 2305-445X.
In this article, I argue that the church as Christ's symbolic presence in the world is a Missiological expression of God loving non-violent involvement and witnessing presence in the world permeated with violence. Through two case studies that exemplify the relationship between public speech and public violence - the 1994 Rwandan genocide and the 2015 xenophobic attacks in South Africa - the article demonstrates the potential of liminality of Eucharistic encounter to inspire and empower African Christians prophetically to respond non-violently to the plague of public violence in many African countries.
