Abstract:
This article sets out to retrieve the theological history of Peggy Mulambya Kabonde who was the first black female to be appointed as General Secretary of the United Church of Zambia. It attempts a survey of African Women’s Theology which highlights some theological sources used by Peggy. The article concerns Peggy’s personal narratives that include her social and religio cultural backgrounds. Findings from the interviews highlight how colonialism, power, patriarchy, culture, ageism, gender and religion intersects in the theological journey of Peggy. By focusing on Peggy as the first female General Secretary of UCZ, the article outlines the theological challenges and achievements she encountered. The article explains how her theological ideas challenge and transforms patriarchy, colonialism, gender, culture and the subordination of women in the church. This article contributes to the emergent literature on the concept of intersectionality and this will be used as a theoretical framework. Data in this article is drawn from secondary research sources, through academic journals, scholarly books, online publications and the face to face interviews that the author had with Peggy on 25th January 2020 and 18th August, 2022 respectively.
