About this Book

Ecclesial Reform and Deform Movements in the South African Contextÿis the fourth volume in a series on the interface between ecumenical theology and social transformation in the (South) African context. Ecclesial movements are amongst the most significant drivers of social transformation. The essays in this volume identify, describe and assess a variety of ecclesial movements. Such movements are often highly contested so that the same movement may be described by some as a reform movement and by others as a deform movement.ÿ
