Theology celebrates Mandela Day

Posted on July 31, 2013

The former President sacrificed 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity, which is why the day is celebrated by volunteering 67 minutes to help make the world a better place by doing something good for others.

House Theology and members of staff visited the NG Arcadia Night Church. The church functions as a drop-in centre for those who are looking for shelter and food.

The night started off with devotion, sharing a few Scriptures and having discussions around them. Refreshments and survival packs were then handed out.

The aim of this initiative, like many others, was to keep the spirit of ubuntu alive in honour of the former President.
