South African Council of Churches "We are the facilitating body for a wide fellowship of churches
committed to expressing together, through proclamation and programmes, the united witness
of the church in South Africa, especially in matters of national debate and order. The
Council is the national ecumenical enabler and co-ordinator of inter-church debate and
action. We are well known for the part we played in the struggle against apartheid, the
globally- condemned oppressive policy of our former Government. We are now engaged in
assisting the reconstruction of the nation and the development of South Africa's fragile
new democracy. These pages are dedicated to sharing information about that work together
with statements and comments from our leadership, as well as to respond to any queries you
may have of us. Through its membership of 24 churches together with one observer-member
and associated para-church organisations, the SACC represents the majority of Christians
in South Africa. The national office is located at Khotso House in Johannesburg. There are
also nine Provincial Councils of Churches working in close contact with us and for the
same aims. They are governed by representatives of the Provincial churches as we are
governed by our national member-churches."
Southern African Conference of
Catholic Bishops "The Conference is an association of local Ordinaries of the
Roman Catholic Church in the Republic of South Africa, Botswana and Swaziland, their
co-adjutors, auxiliaries and other titular bishops who perform special work entrusted to
them by the Apostolic See, or by the Conference itself." Ecumenical relations are
undertaken by the conference and by the individual dioceses. The website does not indicate
a standing commission for ecumenical relations, however, the conference has been actively
involved in ecumenical work and has published an ecumenical directory for
Southern Africa.
