The Anglican Church joins the growing confrontation between church and state

The Anglican Church joins the growing confrontation between Church and state in South Africa, when the Archbishop of Cape Town, the Most Rev. William Barnett, issues a statement condemning South African society as morally indefensible. He expresses particular concern over deaths in detention and the imprisonment and interrogation of people 'until they die'.
