Item Developing a Normative Theory of Religion Education Based Upon the Interface Between African Traditional Religions and Christianity and a Policy Option for Teaching Religion in Eastern Cape Province Schools(University of Fort Hare, 1995-04) Williams, Gillian GraceResearch submitted by Kili in 1988 and by Mxekezo in 1991 for their respective degrees in Master of Education identified problems relating to the teaching of Religious Education in the area then known as Ciskei. I have sought to give a critical evaluation of their studies and then to collate the problems they identified. I then note the conditions existing in the Eastern Cape region in the nineteenth century and how they were affected by colonialism and the advent of missionaries. I compare the expectation of the Xhosa and the Europeans and the resulting conflicts, particularly in the religious realm. I thus seek to show that the roots of many of the current problems in the teaching of Religious Education are to be found in history.
