Abstract:
A few aspects of Calvin's teachings on the church are pointed out to encourage
the two churches involved in the Hervormde Theological Training to reconsider
what Calvin himself has to say. This should not be done only in the ligth of his
role in the past, but also within the context of the tremendous challenges and
responsibilities that these two churches will have to face in the next millennium.
Calvin's doctrine on the church can still provide instruction and guidance to the
church today.
