Kuemmerle continued to chair the link committee as apartheid crumbled. He hosted the Rector of All Saints at his apartment during a visit in 1994. When the Diocese of New York announced the Pilgrimage of Hope to South Africa for October 1999, Kuemmerle and the Rev. Gaylord Hitchcock were given the chance to visit Khuma. They met a delegation from All Saints' at the Family Day service in Klerksdorp and were taken back to Khuma for a two-day visit. Kuemmerle can vividly recall the All Saints' Day service that started their visit.
Children are everywhere and they are everyone's children.
Toddlers are dancing in the aisles during the hymns. They wander into the sanctuary. They were around Gaylord's legs when he was preaching. Kuemmerle and Hitchcock stayed at the home of All Saints' current Rector, the Rev. Lemack Makasi. The door is always open.
