350 years reformed: Configurations and challenges – a perspective from the GKSA
In this presentation the author aims at an explanation and evaluation of the contribution the GKSA has made over a period of more than 100 years. Positive as well as negative configurations are examined, followed by an elaboration of the great challenges facing the church of Christ today. The author concludes with a reminder that the church can only function meaningfully and fulfil its call in South Africa if this is done within the broad paradigm of the kingdom of God.
