The unification of the three Afrikaans Churches: An obtainable goal?
The purpose of this paper is to consider the question whether uniting or amalgamating the three Afrikaans Churches into one organisation is an obtainable goal at present or in the foreseeable future. In an attempt to achieve an answer to the question the following issues were taken into consideration;
1. The historical events of a century ago when an attempt was made to unite the churches.
2. The viewpoint which the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk took during the past century on this matter.
3. The relation and differences among the three churches in the past and at present.
