<strong>An ecclesiological model for the ministry of reconciliation in a  socio-political context</strong>  This research article examines an ecclesiological model  suitable for the promotion of socio-political reconciliation in the  South African context from a reformed theological and philo-sophical pespective. Its point of departure is that reformational  theology is per definition a public theology, which is inter alia  directed at the renewal of society, and that churches have a positive role to play in this regard. Firstly, the article investigates  the historic contribution of Kuyper’s ecclesiology and Dooye-weerd’s perspective on social life and the philosophy of the Idea  of Law. Secondly, the article focuses on the biblical concept  “Kingdom of God” and its implications for an ecclesiological  model. Taking into account the contributions of these two lines  of thought, the article concludes that the church should be seen  as the “power station” of society. The church should equip  believers to promote socio-political transformation in society.  Furthermore, the church should be actively engaged in socio-political transformation by preaching the reconciliation in Christ  and its implications for society, and by being an example of  reconciliation amidst a divided community by overcoming the  divisions caused by racism, tribalism, sexism, xenophobia,  homophobia and ethnocentrism in its own midst
