    Ministerial formation of theological students through distance education.Marilyn Naidoo - 2012 - HTS Theological Studies 68 (2).
    Ministerial formation is a multifaceted activity involving critical thinking, the acquisition of knowledge, skills development, religious identity formation and the development of ministerial and spiritual maturity expected of church ministers. Education is not merely the accumulation of a prescribed set of academic credits but includes the holistic formation of all aspects of the individual. However, theological educators are concerned about the capacity to foster such values and skills in the distance and electronic environment. Some see distance education as ‘distancing’ the (...)

    (1 other version)Transformative remedies towards managing diversity in South African theological education.Marilyn Naidoo - 2015 - HTS Theological Studies 71 (2):01-07.
    South Africa is a complex society filled with diversity of many kinds. Because of the enormous and profound changes of the last 20 years of democracy, this can be perceived as a society in social identity crisis which is increasingly spilling over into many areas of life. Churches have also gone through a process of reformulating their identity and have restructured theological education for all its members resulting in growing multicultural student bodies. These new student constituencies reflect a wide spectrum (...)

    The globalising effect of commercialisation and commodification in African theological education.Marilyn Naidoo - 2017 - HTS Theological Studies 73 (3):8.
    The reality of globalisation is that it has knitted the world into a single time and place and has introduced the dominant force of consumerism. In adopting this framework, it has frayed the moral fabric of theological education and has short changed students who are configured as consumers to please rather than characters to build. While the demographic centre of faith has shifted southward, its ways of thinking and engaging culture have not yet caught up with that shift. Global interconnectedness (...)

    (2 other versions)So, what’s your story? – The role of storytelling in nurturing inclusive congregational identity.Marilyn Naidoo - 2019 - HTS Theological Studies 75 (4):7.
    South African churches are struggling to form cohesive communities and strategies are needed to bring people together. Because of a deficiency in trust, people are reluctant to get to know each other, impacting on the quality of relationships and a positive sense of belonging and community. Congregations need to find ways to nurture an inclusive identity instead of the current norm of all-white or all-black churches, which can be perceived as being inaccessible or exclusive. Innovative strategies like storytelling can unlock (...)

    The potential of multicultural congregations in supporting social reconciliation.Marilyn Naidoo - 2017 - HTS Theological Studies 73 (4):1-8.
    Race, ethnicity and national identity are important discussions that are unfinished ecclesial business for churches in South Africa. Churches remain mono-cultural to a large extent; a significant challenge is the fact that churches still largely reflect the social divisions of a society. Although not common in South Africa, there are, at the same time, congregations that are successful at reaching across racial and cultural divides to attract new members and build social capital. This article discusses the reconciliation potential of multicultural (...)

    Faithful hiring: An exploration of pastoral hiring within the Canadian Evangelical Church.Christopher R. Bonis & Marilyn Naidoo - 2023 - HTS Theological Studies 79 (1):8.
    The pastoral role is a significant leadership function within the global evangelical church and is critical to the ongoing health, nurturing and spiritual development of the church and its members. There is limited literature and reflection on hiring for the church, yet the selection of a pastoral leader is more than an employment exercise as it involves important Christian values, perceptions and priorities of the church and the denomination. This article records a study on pastoral hiring process within a significant (...)

    (2 other versions)An ethnographic study on managing diversity in two Protestant theological colleges.Marilyn Naidoo - 2016 - HTS Theological Studies 72 (1):10.
    For many reasons Christian higher education institutions struggle to embrace diversity. Diversity is a relationship of mutuality, where differences are engaged and respected. This study aimed to understand diversity management via the institutional culture to understand how these interactions of dealing with diversity form and prepare future religious leaders. These issues are highlighted through two case studies conducted in the main-line Protestant tradition. Diversity was represented in issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexual orientation, which have an interlocking nature. (...)
