Marxistiese perspektiewe op die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie

The author states at the outset that the paper deals with scientific or theoretical Marxism, and not with the extent to which Marxism has found room in the thoughts and deeds of the concrete institutions and organizations like, for instance, the ANC. The discussion starts off with a consideration of the fact that it is not easy nowadays to get away from a wide variety of interpretations of Marx, and he offers a useful schematic division for the historical course of Marx interpretations. Following this there is a consideration of some aspects of a non-Marxist perspective on the South African African economy, which offers a background to a consideration of aspects of a Marxist perspective. He refers to the fact that a long-drawn out debate has gone on between a group of Marxist academics and a variety of non-Marxists, and the struggle in the main has been about the question as to what constitutes the main source of conflict in South Africa, a question which can be reduced to the implications of capitalist development in South Africa

Die tweede erediens

Evening ServiceFor many years the evening service of the Afrikaans speaking churches has been unsuccessful as far as attendances are concerned. Many endeavours to improve this have failed. This study is an attempt to argue that the Bible and history do not insist on an evening meeting of the church on Sunday, especially not as a second service. In the light of biblical and historical facts the problem of the evening service could be resolved if, in every parish, there were a service on Sunday as well as other types of gatherings, including an educational meeting, which could be held at different times, according to local demands

Liturgiese klere met besondere verwysing na die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika

Liturgical clothes with special reference to the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van AfrikaIn the Old Testament it was ruled that church officials should wear special clothes depicting the seperation between God and man. The function of the high priest was fulfilled by Jesus Christ and the gulf between God and man eliminated, making the need for liturgical dress unnecessary from the time of the New Testament. Since the earliest centuries of the church, official clothes for clergymen has been uncommon. Although the medieval Roman Catholic Church enforced official liturgical attire, the church reformists viewed such dress with scepticism. It is also considered that in the Hervormde Kerk no liturgical clothes should be worn, other than the academic robe as proof of competence

Die aktualisering van die gemeenskap van die gelowiges binne die erediens

Evaluation of different congregation-development models with a view of introducing a model for the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika. Since 1982 congregation development has been offered as a subject in most of the recognized practical theology departments.

This article is an attempt to look into the evaluation of the Dreyer, Nel, Hendriks and Callahan congregation-development models with a view to develop a model for the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika
