A South African church-backed group is offering ex-combatants training skills to help them stay away from violence.

Working with local churches the programme, run by the National Peace Accord Trust, will provide ex-combatants with life skills and vocational qualifications so they can be absorbed into the formal job market or set up ventures of their own.

In the final days of Apartheid, the government used surrogate forces in numerous black areas. Entire communities were attacked.

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa.  It was in 1967 when Congregationalists from five different countries came together as four different churches at an assembly in Durban and came out of that same assembly as one united Church.  This was by no means some mean feat; in fact it was a great act of ecclesiastical union that would be followed by others some thirty years or so later.  In fact the act of union was not just an accomplished fact it also was an expression of what the new denomination hoped for, and would struggle to promote in the coming years.
