Ubuntu two

Earlier, I referred to the Zulu word ubuntu, musing on its familiar themes to Universalists.

Tonight, I was casting through those parts of the 1662 Anglican prayerbook in Zulu. (No, I don’t read Zulu, but I can control-F to find terms.) I found ubuntu (perhaps in conjunction with another word or words) in three places: a petition in the Litany, in the Athanasian Creed, and in the collect for the feast of the Annunciation. Referring to the English, it can only refer to one thing.

Incarnation, of Jesus Christ specifically.

Interesting.

    re: NSPCI website. We are quite proud of our website. The previous one was hijacked by a porn company. Please bear with us while our congregations get familiar with it and it may become more dynamic. It is interesting to see your use of the internet in the USA.
