This is episode 224 — the sound in the background is the weather - the other sound is the creaking of wagons as another great trek begins. We're going to trace the arc of Southern Africa's climate, beginning in the early 19th century, before turning to the decade under review — the 1860s — and following the path of the Griqua Great Trek into Nomansland. First let's get our heads around the cycles of drought and flood in southern Africa. The pernicious climate. As Professor Mike Meadows of UCT's Environmental Sciences Department observed back in 2002, South Africa's climate has long danced to an unpredictable rhythm — one marked by dramatic shifts in both rainfall and its timing. Precipitation follows a kind of cycle, yes, but one that keeps its own secrets. Some years bring bounty, others drought, and the line between the two is often sharp and sudden. The climate, in short, plays favourites with no one — and when it comes to rain, it can be maddeningly capricious. So while the calendar may promise a rainy season, it rarely tells us how generous the skies will be. The patterns are there — but the quantities? That's anyone's guess. South Africa, after all, is a land of dryness. Over 90 percent of its surface falls under what scientists call “affected drylands” — a polite term for places where water is scarce and the margins are thin. The rest? Even drier. Hyper-arid zones, where the land holds its breath and waits. And by the mid-19th century, much of this land was beginning to fray under the strain — overgrazed, overworked, slowly giving way to the long creep of degradation. South Africa's landscape is anything but simple. It's rugged, sculpted by time, with steep slopes and a dramatic stretch from the tropics to the temperate zone. But the story of our climate doesn't end on land. It's shaped by a swirling conversation between oceans and continents — a conversation held over centuries by systems with lyrical names: the Mozambique Channel Trough, the Mascarene High, the Southern Annular Mode, and the twin dipoles of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Then there's the heavyweight — the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, or ENSO — which has long held sway over our rainfall and drought cycles. The dry was one of the motivations for another Great Trek about to take place. The Griqua's who'd been living in the transOrangia since the late 1700s began to question their position in the world. With the Boers now controlling the Free State, and Moshoeshoe powerful in Lesotho, it was time to assess their options. In 1861, the Griqua joined the list of mass migrations of the 19th Century. There had been the effect of the Mfecane, then the Voortrekkers, and now, the Griqua. Two thousand people left Philippolis to establish themselves in Nomansland, far to the east, past Moshoeshoe's land over the Drakensberg. The reason why historians like Cambridge's Robert Ross call it spectacular was the road that the Griqua cut for themselves across the high ridges of the mountains, a remarkable feat of engineering for the time.

John Maytham is joined by health policy experts to unpack the US National Institutes of Health’s decision to halt foreign sub-awards — a move that has placed billions of rands in South African HIV and TB research funding at risk.

Uctívající církev 4. - Pravidelné úctívání má velky dopad na naše postoje. Uctívání zvyšuje kapacitu vděčnosti. Pravidelné uctívání vede k životu naplněném vděčností, a pozitivním postojem k životu, kterému říkáme duchovně – naděje. Vděčnost také rozvíjí naši kapacitu naučit se být citlivým na Boží hlas. Slyšíme Boží hlas, protože ho nezastírá reptání a negativismus vlastní duše. Uctívání ale není jen zpěv. Zahrnuje toho mnohem víc. Například, jak žijeme ve svých tělech je akt uctívání. To, jak používáme své duchovní dary je akt uctívání. Proto je uctívání také fyzická služba. A zahrnuje oběť.

Uctívající církev 3. - Vděčnost rozvíjí naši kapacitu naučit se být citlivým na Boží hlas. Nemůžeme Boha přinutit mluvit, můžeme se ale naučit rozpoznávat jeho hlas. K tomu nám pomůže, když budeme k naslouchání dobře nastaveni, naučíme se jeho hlasu důvěřovat a budeme vůči Bohu upřímní a otevření.

Uctívající církev 2. - Uctívání rozvíjí naši kapacitu vděčnosti. Někdy svou modlitbu vidíme vyslyšenou, ale rychle přeladíme na další životní krok a nevrátíme se zpět poděkovat. Uctívání nás ve vděčnosti vrací zpět. Zpíváme tak pořád novou píseň, protože Bůh s námi pracuje v každém a různém období života zase jinak. Nově. Čerstvě. Jsme motivováni příkladem radikálního uctívání krále Davida a společně s ním vyznáváme: Dobrořeč duše má Hospodinu.

Uctívající církev 1. - Plinius Mladší na konci prvního století zjistil, že křesťané se “Scházeli určitý den před úsvitem, zpívali střídavě písně k poctě Christa jako Boha.” Všechny tři částí této věty jsou důležité i pro nás ve 21: století: Pravidelné scházení k uctívání nebylo normou v římském světě, lidé chodili do chrámů jen když něco potřebovali. Křesťané ovšem přicházeli z lásky a úcty ke Kristu, protože byli vděčni, a to za všech okolností. Uctívání tvoří vnitřní cestu k vděčnosti. A je to právě uctívání, co odlišuje mimořádnou víru od pop psychologie nebo hnuti svépomoci. Uctívání Boha ale nebylo tou hlavní pointou. Křesťané uctívali Krista jako Boha. Uctívali člověka, kterého potkali ve fyzickém světě, ale poznali, že je jiný, mimořádný. Poznali ho jako Boha v těle. To bylo radikální, divné, mimořádné. Pokud uctíváme Krista jako Boha, pak ho ctíme jako vše definující realitu všeho. Ježíš je základem, měřítkem, pojivem, a finálním vykřičníkem všeho, co děláme, čemu věříme, a jak o tom mluvíme.
