Dit word gedoen aan die hand van drie ekumeniese sendingkonferensies wat gehou is vanaf 1910 tot 1938. Eers word 'n oorsig gegee oor 'n aantal van die vernaamste eskatologiese modelle. Daarna word die breë spore van die eskatologiese denke deur die eeue gevolg en word die verband tussen eskatologie en sending op 'n aantal belangrike terreine aangetoon, naamlik die betrokkenheid van die kerk by sosiale vraagstukke en die Christelike hoop. Dan word die sendingkonferensie in Edinburgh (1910), wat plaasvind in ’n tyd van groot optimisme in die kerk, ontleed. In hierdie tyd word sending veral gesien as die verlossing van die siel. Hierna word die vergadering van 1928 in Jerusalem, wat plaasvind in ’n tydperk van groot onsekerheid, van nader bekyk. Hier word die kerk se rol in die sosiale nood van mense beklemtoon. Laastens word sending in die skadu van die 2de Wêreldoorlog tydens die byeenkoms in Tambaram (1938) beoordeel. Hier speel die eskatologie ’n besondere rol. Uiteindelik is daar ook ’n groter balans tussen die verlossing van die siel en die verlossing van die liggaam.

The BBC ran a story (which was later retracted) headlined “Coronavirus in Africa: Could poverty explain mystery of low death rate?”. A heading in the New York Post said: “Scientists can’t explain puzzling lack of coronavirus outbreaks in Africa”. Journalist Karen Attiah concluded: “It’s almost as if they are disappointed that Africans aren’t dying en masse and countries are not collapsing”. We wondered if the knowledge that southern African countries have acquired in their struggle against AIDS has contributed to a more effective approach against COVID-19. The viral origins of the diseases through zoonotic events are similar; neither has a cure, yet. In both diseases, behaviour change is an important prevention tool, and there are specific groups that are more vulnerable to infection. Equally, there are important differences: most people with COVID-19 will recover relatively quickly, while people living with HIV will need lifelong treatment. COVID-19 is extremely infectious, while HIV is less easily transmitted.

In 1977 Ronald Sider's groundbreaking book, Rich Christians in an age of Hunger was published with David Chilton's response which appeared four years later, Productive Christians in an age of Guilt Manipulators. Other titles which also grapple with the same topic include When Charity destroys Dignity (Glenn Schwartz), To Give or not to Give (John Rowell) and When Helping Hurts (Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert) to name but a few. In his 2011 revised and expanded edition of Walking with the Poor (the first edition appeared in 1999), Bryant Myers focuses on, what he describes as transformational development.

In 1985, for the first time in its existence, the SRC had four missionaries working in the four districts of the country. At this stage the SRC formed a presbytery within the synodical region of the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (DRCA) of Northern Transvaal. In 1989 – at its own request – this church became a regional synod within the DRCA. However, not long thereafter, in 1992, it was forced to become an independent Reformed church, even though it still remained part of the family of Dutch Reformed churches. Making use of original documents, this article records this history of the SRC.

With time, a new church, the Dutch Reformed Church, was established in the Cape. In 1836, a number of pioneers moved from the Cape to the east of South Africa and some of them eventually made Swaziland their new home. Although most members of the white Dutch Reformed Church opposed any integration with Christians from other races, there was nevertheless a desire that they should join a Reformed Church. In 1922, the first Dutch Reformed congregation in Swaziland was established in Goedgegun in the southern region of the country, intended for the exclusive use of white, Afrikaans-speaking church members. In 1944, the first Reformed congregation for Swazi members was formed, which later became known as the Swaziland Reformed Church. This article documents the histor...

Ek het gekonsentreer op al die groot kerke wat verteenwoordig is onder die studente van die Universiteit van die Noorde. Hierdie kerke word dan ook elkeen in ’n aparte hoofstuk bespreek.
In elke hoofstuk gee ek ’n weergawe van die leraar se werk onder die studente tesame met ’n bespreking van die kerk se jeugvereniging(s) se werk onder die studente.
In my laaste hoofstuk maak ek dan gevolgtrekkings uit die navorsing wat ek gedoen het en probeer om ’n metode te bepaal wat deur die praktyk bewys is as die mees intensiewe
metode van bearbeiding van swart studente.
