Archival Photo

I happened this week upon an early photo of the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches of South Africa or EFCC (above). Those pictured (not all of them members) are Rev. Tyler, Rev. Smith, Rev. Mitchell, Rev. Dr. Bergins, Rev. Derbyshire, Rev. Dr. Scarborough, Rev. Dr. Schoonraad, Rev. Ruthford, and Mr. Adams (Rev. Woolard is off the photo). The Fellowship was founded on the 8th of June 1980. By the time of this photo, on the 13th of September 1980, the movement had gathered much momentum. OBSERVATION: I myself was a member from 1983-1998. The movement remained fairly small, yet had a significant influence on the Church in Southern Africa. You may click on the photo to enlarge to 500k.
