On my resignation from urban ministry, and since, I received various documents or letters from the Church. Two of them so concerned me that I handed them to the SA Human Rights Commission. Officers of the Commission both times ruled them out of order, and recommended serious action. There were various things, but here are the most important. In the first place, the Church should not have demanded that I keep from the authorities "recent events related to the Church". In the second place, the Church should not have refused me access to secret statements about me. Both points concerned key articles of human rights: among them the rule of law, and freedom of information.
