dc.description.abstract |
This article revisits the important and controversial Cottesloe Church Consultation that
was held from 7 to 14 December 1960 in South Africa under the auspices of the World
Council of Churches. It focuses mainly on events that occurred in the Dutch Reformed
Church following the Cottesloe Consultation. Special attention is given to the role of
Beyers Naudé by drawing on some of his newspaper articles, speeches and sermons
during this time (including some unpublished material). Given this focus, the article
describes Cottesloe as a vital historical marker that points to some unfinished business
for the Dutch Reformed Church on an ecclesial, ecumenical and theological level. It
argues that the general response of the Dutch Reformed Church to the Cottesloe
Consultation led to harmful ecumenical isolation and hampered the church from living
out its prophetic calling vis-à-vis the state. |
