This article wishes to analyse the key elements in the theology of the founder and first minister of the Volkskerk van Afrika, especially as regards anti-discrimination, self-help, and education. In order to understand the theology of Forbes, it is necessary to portray the historical rise of the Volkskerk van Afrika as a Christian Church with special reference to the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the Church in 1922. Thirdly, it is intended to discuss the relevance of the Volkskerk van Afrika for today.

Keywords : Volkskerk van Afrika; theology; anti-discrimination; self-help; education; J.J.H. Forbes.
