Abstract:
The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians’ (Circle) Sankofa 2024 celebration warrants the highlight of the theological contribution of Circle matriarchs. In her several publications, Esther Acolatse’s discusses her view of African pastors’ style of pastoral counselling in Africa, especially in Ghana, thus making a tacit contribution to African Women Liberation theology. Pastoral care-giving is central in Acolatse’s discussions as seen in most publications. Using several theories and scholars, she argues that in order to meet the needs of the counselee maximally, the counsellor needs to face the person holistically, rather than treat only the spiritual aspect of the individual. Acolatse’s works opens up a whole lot of possibilities for future challenge and discoveries in Africa in the area of pastoral counselling and care-giving. This paper sets out to unveil some of the issues by answering these research questions: What informs Acolatse’s work? What are its theological sources and contexts? What does her theology seek to achieve? What is the main strength and contribution of Acolatse’s work to the world of knowledge?
