This article investigates the role that Practical Theology can play in addressing the problem of alienation amongst the people of South Africa. The investigation is conducted from the viewpoint of the biblical concept of diakonia (service work). This concept as well as the content of Practical Theology as it is found in the first letter of Peter is investigated with the purpose of elucidating the diakonia of Practical Theology with regard to alienation. Four questions are answered in the article:• What may some of the reasons why people in South Africa experience alienation be?• What significance do the results of the most recent research into the diakon word group have for the diakonia of Practical Theology? • What insight can be gained from 1 Peter into the diakonia of Practical Theology for people who may be experiencing alienation in South Africa? • What should the diakonia of Practical Theology in the light of 1 Peter be for people who experience alienation? Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications:This article addresses the issue of alienation. This is an issue that also falls within the research field of sociology and psychology. This article wants to make a contribution from a biblical perspective using the exegesis of a New Testament letter (1 Pt) with the focus on 1 Peter 4:10 and the use of the diakon word group in the letter. The article thus also operates on the research field of New Testament Theology. The results of the exegesis are used to give guidelines for the diakonia of Practical Theology in South Africa. The article challenges the way some research in Practical Theology is done, not using the Bible as reference point, thus making the distinction between Practical Theology and sciences like sociology and psychology indistinct.

This article seeks to contribute to the process of reconciliation in South Africa. This is achieved by firstly exploring the meaning of ubuntu as a common culture or religion under a large percentage of South Africa’s people over the borders of language and other cultural values. In the second part of the article two concepts that play a major role in Christianity are explored, namely koinonia and diakonia. Again a large percentage of South Africans believe that the Bible is the Word of God in which the right way of living is described. A comparison is made between the core values of ubuntu and the way of living that emerges from the use of the two concepts of koinonia and diakonia in the New Testament. A way that can contribute to reconciliation is suggested from this comparison.

“…Research on the diakon word group was triggered anew by the study of Collins (1990) and later gained momentum with studies by Hentschel (2007) and others (see Arndt, Danker & Bauer 2000;Breed 2012aBreed , 2012bBreed & Breed 2010;Collins 2009;Donfried 1990;Gooder 2006;Latvus 2010). These researchers agree that the diakon word group does not have the exclusive or general meaning of humble service motivated by love for one's fellow man but rather appears in the semantic context of a representative, messenger or envoy.…”
