A need for Reformed traditions to transform towards a womanist turning point

Abstract

The churches in post-1994 South Africa exist in a context of many challenges. This article will review literature from black and womanist perspectives to argue that Reformed traditions need to transform towards a womanist approach. This is because they collaborated to the socio-economic challenges of the post-1994 South Africa. The article reflects on challenges that Reformed churches must overcome, which result from their lack of advocacy and activism against systems of oppression. This further justifies their need to transform towards a womanist turning point. The practical recommendations of this transformation will be discussed.
Contribution: The article contributes towards the development of womanist ecclesiology in South Africa.
