No Place for Christadelphians

by Robin Lamplough

In May 1881, a doleful letter appeared in The Christadelphian magazine. It was written by Charles Sims, formerly of Dudley, England, who had recently emigrated to the colony of Natal.

The Halting Expansion of a Cult Group in the Republic of South Africa

The Christadelphians, widely considered to be a cult group, is present in most Western countries, albeit in scant numbers. This book details the group's development in the Republic of South Africa. The most notable South African with a connection to Christadelphianism was Alan Paton, the author of several anti-Apartheid fiction books like "Cry the Beloved Country," and "Too Late the Phalarope." Alan got his wish, a desegregated South Africa in which blacks were handed power; one might wonder what he might think knowing that his widow became so dismayed by the country's subsequent dysfunction and violence that she fled back to Europe. Thanks, Christadelphians, for your contributions to these "improvements." In any event, there is nothing remotely attractive about this desiccated and stale little cult group -- despite its moral preening, deconstruction and darkness is really all it has ever had to offer to the world. Don't waste your time reading this book.
