Description
Archivist's notes: 

1 publication; 70 slides.
In the early 1960's, certain Dutch Reformed Church ministers felt the need for closer contact with English-speaking and black Christians. This led to the establishment of the Institute on 15 August 1963 in Johannesburg. Reverend CF Beyers Naude was instrumental in this process. The emphasis of this country-wide organisation was on the establishment of ecumenical study and prayer groups. These would deal specifically with the country's problems in light of Scripture.
-- This collection includes: "The eye of the needle - Christians opposing the government: the work of the Christian Institute of South Africa" (Dutch language). Also 70 slides produced by the Association of Churches within the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin.
