The Berlin Mission Church in Cape Town 1899-1923Karzek, Thomas 11 1900 (has links)
The study describes the formation and the establishment
of the first urban congregation of the Berlin Mission in
the Cape at the turn of the century. The establishment of
the Cape Town Congregation was not a result of urban
mission work but rather a result of the townward movement
of rural coloured people who already belonged to the
Berlin Mission Church. At first the mission headquarters
in Berlin resisted an involvement in Cape Town, but the
members there and the missionaries of the Cape Synod
urged the Berl in Mission to accept the responsibility.
Fol lowing the advice of the Moravian Mission the
Berliners finally sent a missionary, and declared the
congregation as a proper mission station on May 7, 1907.
The study closes with the consecration of the church
building in Searle Street in 1923 as a visible sign for
the establishment of the Berlin Mission Church in Cape
Town. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)
