Abstract

Since 1990 the political and cultural situation in South Africa has changed radically. People reacted differently to this change. For some it was the long-anticipated outcome of years of political struggle. For others it has brought uncertainty and despair. Furthermore the change in South Africa is encompassed by a new way of social thinking and behaviour, which represents what is known as the postmodern paradigm. Secularization of everyday life and institutions is also escalating. The DR Church stands within the sphere of influence of these phenomena. The influence of the variety of historical incidents underlies the numerous and diverse phenomena in the church.
