‘A wonderful book of historical importance documenting the church’s role and participation in the struggle against Apartheid. It speaks fluently of theologians and ecumenists’ challenges and assumptions about the separation of religion and public discourse, outlining protests, meetings and other movements which took place. Yet it also remains a story of prayer and theological convergences. Outlining acts of public intervention by religious leaders and individuals.’
