dc.contributor.advisor	Richard Ambrose Reeves was appointed the Anglican Bishop of Johannesburg in 1949, a year after the Nationalist Party's accession to power. Reeves's stance as a reconciler is assessed against the background of apartheid and it's implementation between 1949 and I961.Emphasis is laid on how his theological background and beliefs moulded his attitude and actions. It is argued that Reeves laid just as much emphasis on reconciliation of people to God as between persons.The former according to him should precede the latter if there is to be social betterment. His evangelistic work is balanced against his numerous social concerns.These include: ending of the Alexandra bus boycott, opposition to Bantu Education, solving the housing problem, helping the accused in the Treason Trial and speaking on behalf of the victims of Sharpeville. Thus his work as a Christian reconciler relates to society as a whole.
