Looking Deeper into the Confessions: Belhar Confession

  • Pinnacle Presbyterian Church 25150 North Pima Road Scottsdale, AZ, 85255 (map)

with Dr. Mike Hegeman
Fellowship Hall Rm. 2

Apartheid in South Africa feels like it was in the long distant past and seems somewhat shocking to our modern consciousness. How did a confession come out of that time, and why is it a part of our church today? The Belhar Confession was written by church leaders as a way to respond to the sinfulness of apartheid that disrupted the church’s unity, created division among the children of God, and constructed unjust systems that steal life from God’s creation. The result is a striking declaration of faith which is as relevant today as it was when it was written.
