The church should be an agent of reconciliation, justice and unity within the disintegrated society: Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA) perspective

The researcher in this study focuses on reconciliation, justice and unity in the church and
society, Mokopane being the investigative centre. In this study, it has been evident that
this was a noble exercise to focus on reconciliation, justice and unity in South Africa. The
researcher concludes that much needs to be done in the future to address division in the
church and society. The passiveness of the church in the process is jeopardizing
reconciliation, justice and unity.
Reconciliation, justice and unity have been explicitly being explained. They are important
in a sense that they form the bottom or base live from people and believe system could
be well understood and thereby enable them to measure their role in the concept of
reconciliation, justice and unity. These are the gospel imperative and unavoidable.
Qualitative research was explicitly stated, described and discussed.
The role of both Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa and Uniting Reformed Church
in South Africa can play to reconcile the people of people in Mokopane. All cases
studied serves as a true reflection of people’s knowledge on the experience in both past
and present history.
Our concepts of truth, justice, reconciliation, unity and peace must serve as a designed
model to contribute to theology in demand. Unity as the function of the Holy Spirit, and
unity in local church should be witnessed. Thereafter, the church is called to the ministry
of reconciliation. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
