Abstract
This article is taken from a lecture to a convention of white Lutheran pastors who struggle to find their role in the present South African dilemma. The author hopes it will convey more of the actual atmosphere in one section of the community than a theoretical treatment could. Lutherans call their theology ‘evangelical’ because it is based on the gospel (the gift of God's grace) in contradistinction (the demand of God). His contribution to the discussion at a recent conference of the ecumenical ‘National Initiative for Reconciliation’ has been added at the end.
