Abstract
The theology of a people is in part a product of their history, but is also influenced by current living conditions. In South Africa two different theologies have emerged as whites developed a privileged-status position and blacks were forced into an inferior status. In time this dichotomy has been questioned and today, primarily in concert, interdenominational and interethnic groups seek a solution to the problems of race in religion. The Kairos document is one such an attempt.
