"No Black Angels"

A lllI't' ilicnlogicul question has lwcn lltlN'tl hy Iir. William Sicol, ail- niinixtrsitor to the 'l”ransvaal and a iv-'illll'.1 figure ill the Protestant CliIli'll of South Africa. lie asks: " in) no black angels in our child- ren's llihlcs'.'” The Mancltcster Guar- dian tells the story of what is hap- pening in the effort of the Rantu in sirugulim: to grasp facts about (hristianity. The writer says:

At a rccent conference held in Jultariiieslnlrg the 40 main Protest- ant churches in South Africa dis- cussed the problems of making the Bible iindmtstavvlalile to the.Rantu. The ltantu find the facts as presented to theri at the moment confusing and hard to grasp.

Tilt Nicol asks: "What rivht have we after all to demand that the amzels in our children's Bibles should all be white anrrels-the Chinese picture theirs with slanting eye-2. Why cannot" Bantu have books with black angels?" He also called for the Protestant faith to be explained. to the Bantu people with recourse to material from some of their own myths. legends and kllom. At the moment the whole blbllcel buck-

antuirle or i licui".s

If the angels in some Bibles be- come black. will there be I change in their traditional garb of flowing white robe, and arched, feathered wings? would Bantu angels wear Bantu undress (with wings)? or might they be depicted in traditional "Mother llubbards"? Protestant mis- sions must be turning over this deli- cate point.

There is. incidentally. a black Christ in the altar piece of the chapel at M.-ikerere university college, in Uganda.

When the present regulations were adopted it was because they were desired by the industry. If now they are out-of-date and hurting the trade. both industry and government should agree to change them as expeditously as possible.
