Religion & Spirituality
This sermon at Wellshire focuses on The Belhar Confession, which was recently added to the PCUSA Book of Confessions. Belhar is a Christian statement of belief originally written in Afrikaans in 1982. It was adopted (after a slight adjustment) as a confession of faith by the Dutch Reformed Mission Church (DRMC) in South Africa in 1986 and was instrumental in developing church unity during the period of apartheid. Dr. Bell had the privilege of sitting on the committee at General Assembly which initially proposed this Confession.
