| Title | Perichōrēsis and the South African ideal | |
| Creator | Williams, David T. | |
| Description | The continuing fulfilment of the South African dream of a ‘rainbow nation’ really needs to be based on a valid model; this can be provided by the biblical representation of the ‘image of the Trinity’. In this regard, it is significant that the developed understanding of the Trinity includes the dynamic interaction of the Persons, known as perichōrēsis. If this serves as a model, it reflects the distinction between groups in society, but also harmony in society, and the full potential of each group. It then involves mutual sharing in society, and must be seen as dynamic, so that the country is able to continue to develop, not resting on past achievements. For Christians, part of the enactment of this model can be the perichoretic sharing in the life of the Trinity in prayer. | |
