Faculty of Theology wants to serve churches better

The Faculty of Theology at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently approached Prof. Dons Kritzinger, previously from the University of Pretoria, to do an investigation on how this faculty can render a service to a wider group of churches in the Free State and Northern Cape. According to Prof. Kritzinger, the faculty must deliberately reach out to more churches. “The faculty can offer a lot; however, not many people know about it,” said Prof. Kritzinger. Prof. François Tolmie, Dean of the UFS Faculty of Theology said the faculty would thoroughly discuss Prof. Kritzinger’s report and on these grounds they would launch new actions. At Prof. Kritzinger’s feedback discussion were front, from the left: Prof. Kritzinger and Prof. Tolmie; back: Prof. Rian Venter from the Department of Systematic Theology at the UFS.
