Friday 23 February, we begin a series of Bible studies on the topic: The Storyline of Scripture. As introductory as this topic might seem, it is a very powerful foundation stone for one’s understanding of the Bible.
This Spring vacation, we’re running a short afternoon seminar to discuss some basic meta-ideas about Scripture and some easy-to-use interpretive tools to help make you a more attentive reader of the Bible.
Community cooking is an opportunity to take a break from the studies, meet up with friends, and learn some life-changing cooking skills from Ma Precious.
The end of August also means the end of another student committee’s term serving the UCT Y community. Within the next couple of weeks we’ll be inviting nominations and holding an AGM in which we elect a new committee.
Y alumnus Teboho Makhabane explains how the UCT Y helped to integrate her faith with all of life, which is now central to how she approaches her career in finance.
Fritz and Jim took a trip to the USA to present a keynote address at a YMCA of the North conference, to meet with partners, and to visit four of the main study centers in the eastern US.
Our 2023 winter conference was characterised by excellent contributions from our students and the wider UCT academic community.
Our 2023 winter conference asks what light the gospel sheds on being human now, especially in view of economic, ecological, and technological challenges.
Our academic year ended with our Y Formal, an occasion on which we dress with style, enjoy a good meal together, and celebrate the year past. We also take a moment to acknowledge our graduating students and to hear some of their reflections on their time at university and at the Y.
Question: If I truly believe the good news of hope in Christ, why am I afraid to tell other people about it?
Question: It seems that Genesis 9-10 teaches that everyone descends from the lines of Shem, Ham, or Japheth. It seems that people of colour are associated with Ham’s line. Why does Noah curse Canaan (Ham’s son) rather than Ham who sinned against him? What is the relationship between the oppression of people of colour (e.g. in slavery and Apartheid) and this curse?
