Sanctification

CRITICAL: ukungcweliswa (the process of being made holy by the Spirit) is correct, but must be sharply distinguished from ukuhlanjwa, the traditional Zulu ritual cleansing performed to remove spiritual defilement or the influence of harmful spirits, often administered by an inyanga or isangoma. Where ‘holy living’ language in Romans 6-8 could otherwise be misread as an external ritual process, this curriculum must make clear the Spirit’s internal, moral, ongoing transformation is meant instead.
