| Summary: | Abstract: The Dutch Reformed Church, church order, and education.From the first church order of the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church in 1962, it has stipulations for the church and education. In this regard, the Dutch Reformed Church is unique among reformed churches.The wording of this article changed over the years, but the main content remained the same. The Dutch Reformed Church supports Christian education as a church but also recognizes the ability of education authorities to finalise education standards and programmes. In 1962 the order of the Dutch Reformed Church on education also stated that the church will work on the Protestant character of the Afrikaner people. From 1990 onwards these words were omitted. The church nevertheless feels that education will always be in a certain culture. In synodical resolutions in recent times the Dutch Reformed Church recognizes the calling of the South African state to subsidize all education meeting certain purely educational standards. |
