All Saints Maidstone (South Africa)
All Saints Church is a church in the village of Maidstone ( eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality) on the Dolphin Coast in the Anglican Diocese of Natal in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. History Maidstone in KwaZulu Natal was named after Maidstone in Kent in the UK. It was a model village built exclusively for the white community who worked for the Tongaat Sugar Company. All Saints was likewise named after its English namesake in Kent. In 1930, thirty-eight members of the sugar mill staff signed a petition asking for a central church to be built.

Incumbent (ecclesiastical)
In English ecclesiastical law, the term incumbent refers to the holder of a Church of England parochial charge or benefice. The term "benefice" originally denoted a grant of land for life in return for services. In church law, the duties were spiritual ("spiritualities") and some form of assets to generate revenue (the "temporalities") were permanently linked to the duties to ensure the support of the office holder. Historically, once in possession of the benefice, the holder had lifelong tenure unless he failed to provide the required minimum of spiritual services or committed a moral offence. With the passing of the "Pastoral Measure 1968" and subsequent legislation, this no longer applies, and many ancient benefices have been joined into a single new one. At one time, an incumbent might choose to enjoy the income of the benefice and appoint an assistant curate to discharge all the spiritual duties of the office at a lesser salary. This was a breach of the canons of 1604, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
All Souls Umhlali
All Souls Umhlali is a church in the Anglican Diocese of Natal between Umhlali and Salt Rock on the KwaZulu Natal North Coast (KwaZulu-Natal), Dolphin Coast of South Africa. History This region was favoured by King Shaka of the Zulus for military barracks, with his capital becoming KwaDukuza (also called Stanger in more recent history) after the death of his mother. One of these Zulu barracks was called Mdumezulu ("where the heavens thunder"). A magisterial post was established near the barracks in 1850 with Mr C.H. Williams becoming the first resident magistrate. For a time the settlement was even known as Williamstown. The first Anglican church services were held at his home. (The ruins of these early settler buildings can be seen on the property at "Foxhill".) However, Williamstown faded in usage after the magistrate departed and the more descriptive term, "Umhlali", remained in use. Umhlali is the Zulu name for the Monkey Orange tree (''Strychnos spinosa''), which grew abund ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Umhlali ( Zulu: ''eMhlali'') is a village on the North Coast of the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, just inland from Salt Rock and approximately 50 km north-west of Durban.
