Khanya Blog- Witchcraft in literature and life (coffee klatsch) 7 July 2017At our literary coffee klatsch this morning we discussed witchcraft in literature and life, but we didn’t nearly exhaust the subject, so we decided to to continue the discussion next time. The reason for discussing it was that Duncan Reyburn had published a contribution in a book on witchcraft and demonology, but the book cost […]

Steve, I was at the Synod. Whilst I respect Allan Boesak in many ways, and appreciate his role, his response to the decisions of the 2008 Synod, was experienced by the Synod, as disappointing. The URCSA in 2005, already confirmed the full acceptance of gay members and rejected homophobia and any form of discrimination against gay people. His actions now, is experienced as sour grapes or simply an excuse to get out. On the elections (the second day) he already indicated that he is not available for leadership positions in the church, because of ‘national commitments’..
