Abstract:
This contribution examines the changing attitude of
the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (NHKA) towards apartheid, specifically since the
Second World War. The NHKA’s views started with a theological justification of apartheid and
the complete identification of the church with Afrikaner nationalism, moving to a position of
critical solidarity and eventually the rejection of apartheid and its own theological justification
of apartheid in 2010.
