dc.description.abstract |
For both the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) and the Reformed Churches in South Africa (RCSA)
the biggest changes in a changing South Africa have been not so much internally as within the
South African society. Officially these changes really started after the first general elections in
1994. In this process a new constitution was adopted and finalised in 1996, a non-racial, nonsexist
constitution based on human rights as seen from a “religiously neutral” and humanistic
point of view. These changes had a visible effect on the DRC, but less so on the RCSA. |
