Die kerkregtelike posisie van die ouderling en diaken in die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika in die lig van die vraag na nuwe bedieningstrukture

摘要

The position of elders and deacoas in the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika in the light of the question as to whether new structures are needed The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk needs new structures to administer the reconciliation between God and mankind. The current structure in which elders and deacons fulfil their duties is the presbyterial-synodal system of church government. The conclusion is that no new structures are needed, but that the current structure must be known and implemented to the full.
