Abstract
This second article further examines the hypothesis that the fragmentation in the ecclesiology
of the Netherdutch Reformed Church (NRCA) is based on a fragmented understanding
of humanity. The concept of fragmentation is considered as the result of a positivistic
epistemology with regard to understanding the ontology of humankind. In light of this, the
NRCA’s understanding of humanity is examined as it appeared in the Church’s polity of
‘no equalisation’ with regard to the justification of separate ethnic-based churches and the
Church’s current understanding of homosexuality. The content of an inclusive theological
anthropology is considered and suggested for the Church as a necessary step on its journey
towards inclusivity.
