The Reformed Ecumenical Synod and Mission 1984
The Afrikaner nation in South Africa is a minority in its own country. The normal strive to become and stay sovereign is blamed in the face of the world as building concentration camps! That is a lie. And if the world is not prepared to accept it as a lie we are sure that in this sense God will be on the side of the powerless. The Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk already accommodates specific points of mission strategy as stated at the Chicago Conference. Especially the aim of independent indigenous national churches, founded on sound Biblical theology, is held in high esteem.
