Mailing with cover letter and enclosures to members of the Religious Action Network and friends of the South African Council of Churches. The mailing says as you may recall from the last RAN communication, Aleah Bacquie, co-ordinator of the Religious Action Network for the last three years, has now been seconded by RAN to the South African Council of Churches; she will serve there as International Press Officer, a role which will enable her to keep concerned members of the religious community in the U.S. briefed on critical developments as they occur; we hope this will compensate for the very scanty reporting in the press and media, which make it almost impossible to assess what is really happening, as South Africans are compelled to sustain a bitter struggle along even the last mile to freedom day. The mailing includes INTRODUCTION TO THE CHURCH LEADERS STATEMENT for Global Partners by Aleah Bacquie. The mailing includes a statement CHURCH LEADERS' MEETING MARCH 1993. The mailing discusses apartheid, CODESA II (Convention for a Democratic South Africa), the National Party, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), Van Der Westhuizen, "homelands", the negotiation process, the date for an election, the Campaign for Independent Broadcasting, control of armed forces, the Azanian People's Organisation (AZAPO), the South African Council of Churches (SACC), General Bantu Holomisa, the Transkei, Matthew Goniwe, the South African Defence Force (SADF), the death penalty, the African Catholic Church, the African Congregational Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Baptist Convention, the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (Anglican), the Council of African Independent Churches, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa, Hervormde Kerk in Suidelike Afrika, the International Fellowship of Christian Churches, the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, the Moravian Church in Southern Africa, the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk in Southern Africa, the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Sending Kerk, the Order of Ethiopia, the Paris Evangelical Church in Southern Africa, the Presbyterian Church of Africa, the Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa, the Reformed Presbyterian Church in South Africa, the Religious Society of Friends, the South African Bishops' Conference, the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa, and Volkskerk van Afrika.
