Racism as legislated by the government of South Africa, found its way into every sphere of
South African life, political, social, economic and religious. Racism became another culture.
It was in this culture that the Church of the Province of Southern Afiica (Anglican) and the
diocese of Johannesburg found itself.
To be credible and true to its calling, this church in its social teachings taught against racism
on the grounds that it is anti-Christian and denies the essential truths of the gospel. However
a contradiction in its teachings presented itself. Racism came to be found to be alive in its life
and structures. The church came to not practice what it preached. Its practice did not follow
its theory.
For this church to be the church, racism needs to be purged from its life, practice and
structures. A new way of life in the church has to be created and followed. / M.Th. (Systematic Theology)
