What is the church?

I would like to briefly reflect on what the church is. A church is a place where mankind can communicates with God in worship and prayer. It is a place of refuge; a place of spiritual development; a place where people can  find comfort, etc.  A church  has been playing a role in unifying nations since time immemorial. The Church's  role is also to help government and societies to fight the moral ills of mankind.

Mr Chairman,  I am informed that The Old Apostolic Church was established in Africa in the 1880's by an Evangelist from Australia called Carl George Klibbe. The First Congregation was established in Southernwood, East London (South Africa) in 1892. Evangelist Klibbe was later ordained as an Apostle for Africa on 08.07.1893. The Church has since spread throughout South Africa.
