The Belhar Confession
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The Belhar Confession of 1986 arose in a very specific historical context, and the genesis of this confession should be understood in the light of the injustices and divisions associated with South Africa’s colonial and apartheid past. Yet the Belhar Confession is about more than apartheid, and as such it is a confession that is not merely part of some Reformed churches’ historical past, but in many ways it is still may be part of the future agenda of Reformed churches in the struggle to embody unity, reconciliation and justice in our world today, in obedience to the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord.
