Notification: Concluding Article of Special Collection Published! |
|
| The final article in our special collection, 'Belhar40,' is now available! Dive into ‘Gendered images of God in the Belhar Confession (1986)’ by Christina Landman, offering the last perspectives on the gendered references of God in Belhar will be compared to images of God in the following four documents: (1) the 1994/2005 Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa’s (URCSA’s) Policy on Gender Equity; (2) the Open Letter from the men of the URCSA to the Women of the URCSA in 2005; (3) the Constitution of the Christian Women’s Ministries of the URCSA; and (4) the Acts of the 2022 General Synod of URCSA, the latest Acts of an URCSA General Synod available at the time of writing. This will be performed to determine whether a sensitivity towards gendered images of God has been established in URCSA documents during the 40 years since 1986, with special reference to the Confession of Belhar. Explore it here: Vol 82, No 2 (2026). We appreciate your interest in the series. If you’d like to launch a new special collection, please reach out to special-issues@aosis.co.za. | |
