This book deals with the relationship between the catholicity of
the Church and ethnicity. Churches confess their "catholicity" -
which means that they declare that their members belong to one
community; but at the same time, the churches are often internally
divided along ethnic lines. South Africa was a divided society
under apartheid, which also shaped the churches ethnically. The
legacy of apartheid continues to cause division between people
through inequality, injustice, skewed power relations, and
marginalisation. The author presents an analytical tool that has
been derived from key documents of the Faith and Order movement and
the World Council of Churches concerning the catholicity of the
Church. In addition, he tests the catholicity of the Church against
an operative ecclesiology of South African congregations and
churches twenty years after the dismantling of apartheid.
