Talk:Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (NGK)

message: I've started adding an outline of history to the stub, but I hope members of the NGK who know more about it can expand on it. SteveH 07:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Your reasoning seems clear and well presented. All you need is some solid  references. There is a book about the early history of the church available at ; that might be a good starting point --NJR_ZA (talk) 12:49, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

message: What does its name mean in English?  It looks like it more or less means  "Dutch Reformed Church".  Is that right? john k 15:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The page really ought to mention something about the church's support for the Apartheid regime in South Africa.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.180.224.222 (talk) 06:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The missing time interval is sort of treated in Afrikaner nationalism. I'm not sure what this means, but I get the impression that the South African Dutch-Speaking Reformed Christianity have been riddled by internal split as well as external conflicts. Maybe it is not quite that easy to untangle the threads? Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 11:11, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  For most of the time frame between 1910 and 1990, the NGK was more concerned with the political than with the spiritual. It might well take another decade to write an objective history of the NGK for that time frame. That concern had both its good points, and its bad points, for each population group in the country. The scriptural justification for supporting apartheid used by the NGK is the same as the scriptural justification used by Southern Churches to oppose integration.  jonathon (talk) 20:01, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I tend to disagree with jonathon and say the opposite: that between 1910 and 1990 the NG Church was not very concerned with the political, i.e. the church was satisfied with just accepting the policies of the government. -- leuce (talk) 07:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the article is definitely incomplete without stating the theological reasons for the support of apartheid. I came to the page specifically to find this out but there is nothing. I think this article would be a good reference for a paragraph on the topic: 'The Dutch Reformed Church and Apartheid' by Susan Rennie Ritner, First Published October 1, 1967, Journal of Contemporary History, SAGE Journals. Unfortunately I don't have access to it.Strayan (talk) 05:34, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Support of Apartheid 

message: The current text says "The revival also led to an interest in mission work which led to the establishment of the Dutch Reformed Mission Church for coloureds and the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa for blacks." which is incorrect.  The interest in missions work started in 1824 already (not 1860), and the DRMC was not originally intended as a separate denomination, but instead as a missions church.  Furthermore, the DRCA was only founded in 1951 (almost a century later), so that has nothing to do with the 1860 revival. -- leuce (talk) 07:42, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

message: There is some useful information about the 1862 split here: https://kerkbode.christians.co.za/2019/06/18/wat-drie-hofsake-ons-leer/ Apparently, there was only one synod until that time, but during the liberal vs conservative controversy, the high court ruled that ministers from outside the Cape Colony were legally not allowed on the synod, and this lead to the creation of separate synods outside the Cape Colony.  The author of this article believes that the reason for the establishment of a local seminary had nothing to do with a "revival" but rather to preserve conservatism (since the liberal views were mostly held by ministers who were trained in Europe). --leuce (talk) 08:47, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
