Publisher's Synopsis
A high point in the impact of the ecumenical movement was its Programme to Combat Racism, centred on its decades-long struggle to abolish apartheid. At once its most controversial and yet most prophetic activity, the battle against apartheid mobilised the ecumenical movement and churches around the world. In this honest and engaging memoir, a key actor in that battle, Baldwin Sjollema, offers an absorbing eye-witness account of the churches' attempts to alert and mobilise the world against the evils of apartheid, revealing the depth of commitment and also of moral questioning that accompanied the struggle, the triumphs, and the long road since.
