H. Jurgens Hendriks
H. Jurgens Hendriks had been a pastor for ten years when called to teach Practical Theology at Stellenbosch University in 1985. He became a professor in Congregational Studies. Leading congregations through the apartheid transition period was the initial focus of his work and research.

His Studying Congregations in Africa (2004) was the first publication of NetACT, the Network for African Congregational Theology. Founded in 2000 he became the Network’s first Executive Director. He still serves the 39-school network in 13 African countries as program coordinator.
