ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the statements of policy on behalf of different Churches are taken from The Churches and Race Relations in South Africa by Lesley Cawood. The Churches include The Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk (The Dutch Reformed Church), the Methodist Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Presbyterian Church and the Congregational Church. The Southern and Northern Transvaal Synods of the Church met in Pretoria during March and April 1963 respectively. The Synods felt that the present State law allowed full freedom of worship, but requested the Government to grant relief as far as frivolous objections against bona fide church attendance by Non-Whites living in White areas were concerned. Language and residence have led to the formation of separate congregations, but members of all races meet together in Presbytery and General Assembly. Colour must never be permitted to offer an excuse or a pretext for injustice.
