Description
Summary:The moral healing of the South African society: the contribution of the Afrikaans churches. In this article an attempt is made to determine the potential contribution of the Afrikaans churches to the moral healing of the South African society. In order to do this an analysis is first of all made of the characteristics, as well as the causes, of the present moral crisis we are experiencing in South Africa. In the light of the multifaceted nature of the moral crisis and its causes, a multifaceted approach by the Afrikaans churches is recommended. Note is also taken of the unique position of the Afrikaans churches and the limitations and challenges which this position entails.
