Between the Two Fires: The Anglican Church and Apartheid 1948-1957

In 1948, the National Party came to power and immediately began to set up the structures of apartheid. Among those who woke out and acted against it were many prominent church personalities, whose opposition raised burning questions. This book examines the debate that raged within the Anglican Church, focusing on Michael Scott, Patrick Duncan, Trevor Huddlestone, and Ambrose Reeves on the one side, and Archbishop Geoffrey Clayton on the other.
