dc.description.abstractObject of this thesis has been to underline a small facet of the influence of the Missionaries on the Coloured people at the Cape in the nineteenth century; to describe the impact of Christianity on Single social unit, which was a fusion of primitive Hottentot and slave elements, subject to strung Euro-pean (white) pressure, both economic and otherwise. WhaT was intended as a modest exploitation of the information available has resulted in a perhaps too lengthy treatise. But it is felt that the period of a century covered, warrants as full a discussion as possible. it is hoped that this thesis has succeeded not merely in telling the story of the missionat Genadendal, but has emphasised the signficant interplay of religious, economic and social contacts, ideas and problems in the development of Coloured society at the station. For Genadendal is an example of the growth of a Christian Mission in a colony of settlement. the sources on which the thesis is based are in the main the periodical publications of the Unitas Fratrum. the English accounts are valuable for letters and contemporary articles by the missionaries, while those in the German language contain an almost complete set of annual reports from the Brethren on the st at i ons . the v a luabl e diar i es, extant on the maj or i ty of the Moravian mission stat ions all over the world, as well as the correspondence at Genadendal had to be ignored for the purpose of this thesis because of their length. .his material, kept at Genadendal, is invaluable for the hist ory of the missions in South Africa. It should be housed in a place where it will not be lout to posterity. I am sincerely indebted to Rev. L.A. Schmidt, Rev. P.4. Schaberg, Mr. and Mrs. E. Weder and Berw. D. Wessels whose 'encouragement and assitance were invaluable to me in finding and selecting the material on which the thesis is based.+en_ZA
