Abstract
This review of the rocky road travelled by the Dutch Reformed
Church in Africa (DRCA) towards church unity consists of five parts. First, the
historical background to the DRCA is briefly traced. Second, the author investigates
the various decisions of the general synod of the DRCA regarding church unification
from Tshilidzini in 1971 to Pretoria in 1991. Third, decisions of the general synod
of the then DRCA on the fourth confession are considered. Fourth, the decision of
the general synod regarding the Belhar confession prior to 14 April 1994 and the
unity talks among the then Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) members and their impact on
unity are discussed. Fifth, the final decisions of the then DrcA regarding church
unification with the Dutch Reformed Mission Church (DRMC) as the result of the delay
on the part of the DRC are investigated.
