Abstract

In 1894 the section of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk which withdrew from the attempt at church unification in 1885 and those members of the church who had taken part in the unification but withdrew in 1890, joined forces. The question posed in this article is: what direction did the church take after this point in time? It is argued that, although there was a certain amount of friction in the congregation of Pretoria, the course of the church continued in the direction outlined by the synod of the church in 1888. The church was hampered in its growth by the events leading up to the war of 1899-1902. During the years 1902-1924 the church was gradually rebuilt. The outward pressure on the church and its struggle to maintain itself, pre-empted any possibility of different theological groupings developing in the church.
