EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic presence of the New Dutch Reformed Church in Pretoria, South Africa, circa 1905. The church, a significant landmark in the city's rich history, is a testament to the deep-rooted Dutch Reformed faith that has shaped the religious landscape of South Africa. Located in the heart of Pretoria, the capital city of South Africa, the New Dutch Reformed Church stands proudly with its distinctive tower reaching towards the clear blue sky. The church, with its intricate Gothic Revival architecture, reflects the European influence that dominated South Africa during the colonial era. The Dutch Reformed Church was established in 1652, making it one of the oldest Protestant denominations in the country. It played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural, social, and political landscape of South Africa, particularly during the apartheid era. The church's doctrine emphasized the separation of races and the belief in the inherent superiority of the white race. Despite its controversial past, the New Dutch Reformed Church in Pretoria remains an important symbol of South Africa's religious and cultural heritage. The church's beautiful stained-glass windows, intricate stonework, and grand interior continue to draw visitors from all corners of the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into South Africa's past, providing a window into the country's complex history and the enduring influence of religion on its people. The New Dutch Reformed Church in Pretoria stands as a reminder of the past, a symbol of resilience, and a beacon of hope for the future.
