dc.description.abstract	This dissertation focuses on the role of the church as a social conscience in its quest for human dignity. It specifically explores the role played by the Anglican Church of Southern Africa in the restoration of human dignity through the contributions made by the various bishops and archbishops in addressing the challenges of socio-economic and political injustice faced by society. Furthermore, this dissertation explores the practical mission and ministry of the parish of St Thomas in Kagiso 1, Krugersdorp in its quest for human dignity aimed at addressing the contextual socio-economic and political injustices and to alleviate suffering. Special emphasis in this dissertation is put on the biblical and theological substantiation which necessitated the various prophetic mission and ministries.	en
