N\u00e1 80 jaar staan LIG<\/i>-tydskrif steeds stewig in sy stewels in Wellington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Goed ge\u00efllustreerde, gewilde maandblad wat oor die werk en lewe van die kerk vertel. D\u00edt was die droom van \u2019n paar predikante van die Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk in die Transvaal. En daarom het dominee Attie Burger by die destydse Transvaalse sinode in 1937 gevra dat so \u2019n blad begin moet word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op 1 Desember 1937 het die eerste uitgawe van Die Voorligter<\/i> verskyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ouderlinge en diakens het dit na elke huis versprei. En s\u00f3 is die kerk se lewe en werk aan lidmate en huisgesinne vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorlog en papierskaarste het gemaak dat Die Voorligter<\/i> vir \u2019n tyd lank sonder \u2019n voorblad verskyn het. Maar einde 1946 het Die Voorligter<\/i> \u2019n nuwe baadjie aangetrek. Met sy nuwe buiteblad het di\u00e9 kerkblad \u2019n nuwe era ingegaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Burger het in 1948 oorgeneem as deeltydse redakteur en het van 1957 voltyds as redakteur gedien. Burger het duisende myle in en buite die land gereis om so te s\u00ea al die destydse bestaande inrigtings, sendingstasies en georganiseerde werksaamhede van die kerk te besoek. Honderde foto\u2019s en dosyne artikels oor die kerk in aksie het in Die Voorligter<\/i> verskyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1947 het die legendariese latere volksraadslid en senator Sporie van Rensburg as tegniese redakteur begin dien. Die Voorligter<\/i> het noustrop getrek onder finansi\u00eble druk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papier was duur en advertensie-inkomste was laag. Van Rensburg het aanbeveel dat Die Voorligter<\/i> \u2019n kleiner lettertipe gebruik en sodoende kon minder papier gebruik word om al die leesstof in te pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groot was die vreugde toe Die Voorligter<\/i> 31 Oktober 1951 \u2019n wins van R4 100 kon toon en die skuld en rente van R3 000 by die kerkkantoor kon vereffen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aan die einde van daardie jaar het die redaksie sy drome om Die Voorligter<\/i> na die ander provinsies van Suid-Afrika en Suidwes-Afrika uit te brei, aan die sinode voorgel\u00ea. Die Voorligter<\/i> het ook nou met \u2019n nuwe, groter formaat gespog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1957 is \u2019n kommissie aangestel om te besluit hoe die amptelike kerkblad, Die Kerkbode<\/i> en die Transvaalse kerkblad, Die Voorligter,<\/i> in die kerk oor die hele Suid-Afrika versprei kon word. Daar was egter spanning tussen die twee publikasies omdat die een bang was dat die ander bevoordeel sou word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar 1 Januarie 1960 het die Raad van Kerke Die Kerkbode<\/i> en Die Voorligter<\/i> onder \u2019n kommissie van beheer oor kerklike tydskrifte geplaas. Daar is ook \u2019n ooreenkoms gesluit waar Die Kerkbode<\/i> weekliks verskyn en Die Voorligter<\/i> elke maand as bykomende gewilde uitgawe sal verskyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Die Voorligter<\/i> is vir dekades van huis tot huis afgelewer toe diakens maandelikse tiendes ingesamel het. In die jare sewentig het Die Voorligter<\/i> se maandoplaag tot 188 000 gestyg. En teen die einde van daardie dekade verander Die Voorligter<\/i> se formaat weereens om by moderne tydskrifte aan te pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Die Voorligter<\/i> het gaande weg \u2019n minder Transvaalse en kerklike kleur gekry en is omskep in \u2019n meer algemene Christelike tydskrif. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1967 is Willie Maree as voltydse assistentredakteur aangestel en drie jaar later het hy die redakteurskap oorgeneem. Hy was tot 1989 redakteur en ook die eerste niepredikant wat hierdie pos beklee het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Frits Gaum het 1989 die leisels oorgeneem en was dieselfde tyd ook redakteur van Die Kerkbode<\/i>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe die eeu draai, het die tydskrif met \u2019n korter en meer eietydse naam, LIG<\/i>, begin om in die opemark met ander tydskrifte mee te ding. Ds. Johann Symington het in 2004 redakteur geword en di\u00e9 tendens voortgesit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adri-Louise van Renen, toe reeds lank die blad se adjunkredakteur, het in 2005 die leisels by Symington oorgeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het \u2019n groot rol daarin gespeel om LIG <\/i>mededingend in die opemark te vestig deur sterk te fokus op menslike verhale veral ook di\u00e9 van glanspersoonlikhede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In rubrieke is goeie raad vir \u2019n gesonde, Christelike leefstyl gegee met klem op die gesin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die blad het in voorkoms en styl veral aanklank by vroue gevind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 Adri-Louise se ontydige dood in 2014 het Francine van Niekerk die redakteur geword. Die tydskrif het bly fokus op gesinne en geloofstories wat lesers inspireer om in hul geloof te groei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n LIG<\/i> het ook aangepas om op die sosiale media en die internet \u2019n sterk teenwoordigheid te h\u00ea. Vandag is dit \u2019n glanstydskrif met Christelike inhoud wat elke lidmaat van die kerk, maar ook di\u00e9 wat nie aan \u2019n kerk verbind is nie, se lewe te verryk en te inspireer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
