Abstract
[In his last days on earth, Prof. M. L. Daneel constantly reflected on his lifelong work among African Earthkeepers in Zimbabwe. I once asked him how he reconciled his white background, Reformed Christian identity, and African beliefs with his missionary career during the Second Chimurenga (war of liberation). He replied, “I am a rebel.” He then shared how he was often perceived as a traitor by his fellow whites and missionaries, and how his life was threatened.]
