Abstract

In determining the stance and commitment of the church in a changing South Africa there is a constant danger for the denominations involved to become one-sided and ideologically contaminated. The church is adjusted neither to confirming or denying any society. The present-future dialectics of the New Testament enables the church to become its real self in the tension between being part of this world and reaching fulfilment in a future world - the kingdom of Christ in the final stage. The present-future dialectics of the New Testament enables its church to be both critical and loyal in present-day societies. Only this church is able to play a significant role in a changing South Africa. If any denomination loses this dialectical tension, the church loses itself.
