Résumé

In a previous publication we concentrated on the role of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) in the last phase of Apartheid (see No 76 of in the year 2001 “The Dutch Reformed Church and Transition in SA”). The focus of this volume of is directed to the years from 1990 to the present. The general aim is to better understand the role of the DRC in the contemporary frame of South Africa and in its future. Although the DRC does not have the power it used to have up to 1990 anymore, this church nevertheless has a big relevance within the South African Society, a factor that should not be underestimated. The members of the DRC still represent an important sector of the South African society and thus the position of this church is important in the public realm.
