| description | The Faculty of Theology at the University of Pretoria chose <em>oikodome</em> as a Faculty Research Theme (FRT) in 2014. This term refers to life in its fullness. The Dutch Reformed Church, as one of the partners of the Faculty, contributed to life in its fullness through the important role it played in the reconciliation in South Africa since 1986. One of the beacons on this road of reconciliation was the General Synod of 1994. It became known as the �Synod of reconciliation� as a result of the visits of Mr Nelson Mandela, Prof. B.J. Marais and Dr Beyers Naud�, and the important decisions that the meeting took. It was however, not only the visits of these important roleplayers in history which made the meeting a beacon on the road to reconciliation. This chapter shows that it was imbedded in a much larger context of reconciliation in South Africa in which the Dutch Reformed Church played an important role. By participating in the process of reconcilation in the country, the Dutch Reformed Church contributed to <em>oikodome</em> � life in its fullness for all. |
