dc.description.abstract |
Numerous studies have shown how apartheid and the struggle
against it influenced a range of Christian denominations and
missionary agencies in South Africa, but these investigations
have tended to ignore smaller denominations and missions.
This article focuses on two of these denominations and
missions: the Norwegian Mission Covenant and the Scandinavian
Alliance Mission of North America (after 1949 called The
Evangelical Alliance Mission). Both were historically rooted in
the premillennial revivalism of the Swedish-American evangelist
Fredrik Franson. Their missionary workers reacted in
various ways to the pressures that increased social engineering
along racial lines put on their work among black South Africans.
The Bantu Education Act of 1953 removed one of the
pillars of their outreach programme – education. Some of their
missionaries vigorously criticised apartheid, while others
assumed a more passive attitude. This article also discusses the
role of their eschatology and the rural/urban emphasis in their
ministries in influencing their responses to apartheid. |
