you make about learning now, yes it might be an oppressive type of education to a
white child, but I think these are the results of the past. These are the results of the
past.
Danie: The point that I would like to make is this. I see that the same situation for the
white child in the schools still exists, even in my time. But if we can pass on that point,
when do we start to see each other as a dignified person and not on a colour basis? I
think we will start it, because we are responsible for our children...
Quincy: Can I interrupt here? He's making a very important point. What kind of
Christians do we have today? Are we hypocrites in terms of Christianity or are we
genuine Christians? I believe Christians are the people who must start and I want to
say that unless we seem to be doing something actively, to try and bring the
community together, we will not succeed. But Christians are the people who must
actually lead the way.
Hanlie: Amen.
Danie: That is for sure. Daarmee kan ek saamstem.
Albert: Maar ek weet nie, ons sou miskien saamstem daaroor, maar die ding wat
Quincy nou byvoorbeeld na verwys, en dit het uit ons gesprek gekom, hierdie
gesamentlike dienste wat ons byvoorbeeld gehad het na Pinkster, dat al die lidmate
hier van Welkom-Suid moet optrek en masse na Thabong toe en ons gaan hou 'n
erediens daar saam.
Hanlie: Christians are not showing at all, as far as I am concerned, they are not
showing that they want it. I'm just talk about the whites, actually.
Steve: Hear the point; unless the Christians use the weapon that God has given to
them, the weapon of unity, we unite for one Lord, Jesus Christ, finished. And if we can
unite beyond colour, then we can really change, and the second weapon that we need
to use, is the working of prayer. If I cannot change SA by my attitude, I can change it by
prayer. Are we willing to do so?
Hanlie: Too few are willing to do so.
