who was the first south african dutch reformed church minister to take public issue with apartheid
Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (NGK) The Church supported Apartheid[4][5] and in 1982 was expelled from the World Alliance of Reformed Churches which declared Apartheid to be a sin.[6] In 1986 during the General Synod the church changed its stance on Apartheid and opened its doors to people of all races[7] (the Andrew Murray ministry within the Dutch Reformed Church, since its inception, had its doors open to people of different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities). After various processes the Church has been accepted back into the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.
