Text in Afrikaans / Dr. J D Vorster het gedurende sy bedieningstyd in die
N.G.Kerk [1935-1978] ontwikkel en gegroei tot 'n invloedryke
kerkleier. Die faktore en omstanighede wat tot sy vorming
bygedra het is die onderwerp van hierdie studie.
Die f eit dat hy in die Stormberge gebore en getoe is asook
.karaktereienskappe wat hy van sy voorsate geerf het, was
belangrike komponente in sy vorming. Boustene soos godsdiens
en volksliefde het in sy ouerhuis die grondslag gele vir sy
teologiese beskouings wat op universiteit ontwikkel het.
Sedert 1935 is hy in die bediening verder gevorm deur
pastorale werk, kerklike vergaderings en briefwisselings.
Kulturele en politieke betrokkenheid asook gevangenisstraf
het horn bekend gemaak en gebrei.
'n Doktorsgraad in die Kerkreg was verder die regte skoling
vir die amp va.n Aktuarius - 'n pos wat met soveel
deeglikheid uitgevoer is dat hy later as kerkleier erken is
met sy verkiesing as Moderator. / During his ministry in the D.R.Church, dr.J D Vorster developed and grew to become an influential church leader.
The subject of this study is the factors and circumstances
which contributed to his forming.
The fact that he was born and bred in the Stormberge as well
as the characteristics he inherited from his ancestors were
important components in his forming. Building stones such as
religion and nationalism in his parents home laid the
.foundation of his theological views which developed at
university.
He was further formed in his ministry through pastoral work,
church meetings and correspondence. Cultural and political
participation as well as imprisonment made him well-known
and tough.
His doctorate in church law put him on the right track for
the post of Actuary - an off ice which he filled with so much
efficiency that his leadership in the church was recognised
with his election as Moderator. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / Th. M. (Church History)
