Paperback. This book resulted from a meeting held on Church and State in Spring of this year. The colloquium focused on the legal position of churches, the autonomy of churches in modern society and recent tendencies in jurisprudence. It was organised by the Faculty of Canon Law of the Catholic University Leuven in collaboration with the Faculty of Theology of the University of Stellenbosch. Both the conference and the book have two objectives. The first looks at South African history on Church and State relationships and its current situation under the new Constitution. The second seeks to search for models leading to a new equilibrium between Church and State in South Africa. Examples offered by other countries are examined as a point of reference or a possible source of inspiration. International scholars and academics, Church Minister, as well as leading politicians, offer their viewpoints and arguments. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
