Proponentsondertekeningsformule van die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika

Abstract

This article presents research on the way the tradition of the Reformed Churches according to which candidate ministers have to sign a formula, found its way into the Nederduitsch Hervormde Church, and on the degree to which this tradition was upheld in the Church. Although the Church recently accepted a totally rewritten Church Order, the existing formula was maintained with only minor and non-essential changes.
