Institutionele geschiedenis
The aim of the project's sponsors, the South African Council of Churches and the Christian Institute of Southern Africa, was to call together a body of experts to examine the implications of applying Christian principles to the major areas of our national life and to make recommendations for a juster social order.
The original stimulus for Spro-cas was provided by the Message to the People of south Africa, which was issued by the Theological Commission of the South African Council of Churches in September 1968. The Message provided the basic theological foundation for the project, i.e. the Gospel as reconciliation.
