Robert Lombard
Robert William Lombard (18 October 1895 – July 1972) was the first
coloured Helper Apostle of the Old Apostolic Church of Africa and founder of the Non-White Old Apostolic Church, that was later renamed to the Reformed Old Apostolic Church
.
He was ordained in the New Apostolic Church in 1920, but left that denomination with Carl George Klibbe, who went on to form the Old Apostolic Church; he was ordained into the OAC on May 11, 1958.[1]
In 1972 Lombard was excommunicated from the Old Apostolic Church; he then established the Non-White Old Apostolic Church.[1] The church had to change its name three years later due to a court case.[2]
