Abstract:During the 1940s, South African Christians, and the Anglican Church in particular, had engaged with a quest for a 'new order' characterized by an optimistic view of the possibilities for 'progress', the acceptance of the limited possibilities for political reform, and a continued acceptance of the moral legitimacy of the State. When it became clear that this movement for reform was making little headway, some in the church began to challenge that moral legitimacy. By the end of the 1940s, the Anglican anti-apartheid activists Michael Scott (1907-1983) and Trevor Huddleston (1913-1998) had developed the core of their stance against racial discrimination, which, as well as forming a response to the emerging policy of apartheid, looked back to the debates of the early 1940s. This paper examines the activities and importance of these two Anglican priests. Notes, ref. [ASC Leiden abstract]
