Abstract

English
23 Years after democracy in South Africa, people are still alienating more and more every day. There are also many new conflicts that makes the situation worse. Therefore, it is necessary to critically reflect on the situation in South Afrika, and on the dream of reconciliation. There have been attempts, like those of the Truth- and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. However, there are still problems. It seems as if the doctrine of the Trinity, and furthermore, the missio Trinitatis, have not yet been proposed as decisive solution for the problem of alienation and the possibility of a life together in South Africa. The missio Trinitatis, with the Trinity moving in the world, and making the church part of this movement, opens up new perspectives and possibilities with regards to reconciliation and a life together in South Africa. Can a new understanding of the Trinity, the Trinitarian movement in the world and the African context be a solution for the alienation in this country? In this movement of the missio Trinitatis, a space is created where reconciliation is possible.
