    The Impact of Women Development in the Church: Case Study of the Catholic Women at Holy Savior Parish, Kafue Zambia
    (Tangaza University College, 2011) Sanicalimba, Kelly
    This essay is intended to show the dignity of women in today's society by studying the impact of the service of women in the development of the Church and the society at large. This case study intends to show how women are actively involved in the process of development of the Kafue Parish in Zambia in the Archdiocese of Lusaka. It has been my concern to find out how women have been contributing to the development of the Church in Zambia. In this particular instance, I have looked at a particular case that will give an overview of the role of women in the development of the Church in Zambia. A case study of my Parish, Kafue in Zambia was what I came out with to help investigate this scenario. For sometime, I would say 15 years; I have seen great improvement in the way women are trying to contribute to the development of the Parish. As the number of women joining various organizations that exists at the Parish has steadily increased. I have been asking myself why this is the case. Fifteen years ago it was not like that. This has been my experience and that is what the parishioners who have been attending the Parish are also asking. I AM interested to know what cultural values were embraced at that particular time and if at all they were in conflict with values held by the parishioners and the teachings of the church. What then has changed that their development efforts are being recognized? I am motivated to find out what these channels are that women currently have employed in their contributions to the development in the Church. Have they overcome some stigmatizations or rather stereotypes that were there in the past years? We will also investigate what contributions women have made in the whole area of leadership in the church. We will further look at its theological and sociological implications. It is my view that this paper will also help in further research concerning women in the church.

    Development of Value Systems among Christian Teenagers
    (Tangaza University College, 2007) Chizoba Ibeneme, Nicholas
    A past experience in Nigeria, where the researcher was involved in assisting the Y.C.S. students in High school, in education to Christian values and attitudes, was the first reason that motivated the choice of a high school for this research. Being in Kenya, the researcher thought it wise to work with high school students basically for their openness and willingness to learn and live a quality life. The researcher chooses two high schools — St Mary Girls' High School and Thigio Boys' High School, which are under the jurisdiction of one of our Vincentians parishes, Holy Cross parish, situated at Limuru. A good combination of the two schools for young men and women will definitely help the researcher to come up with a more holistic view on how the young people understand and live out their values in our present day society.
