| 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. | en |
