[[Lêer:Christ the King-kerk, Sophiatown, Morné van Rooyen, 31 Desember 2017.jpg|duimnael|links|270px|Die Anglikaanse kerk Christ the King. Dis in 1933 gebou en die toring in 1936 bygevoeg. In 1940 is vr. [[Trevor Huddlestone]] as rektor aangestel. Hy was 'n uitgesproke teenstander van die apartheid en die kerk het 'n baken in die vryheidstryd geword. In 1955, tydens die gedwonge verskuiwings, is Huddelstone teruggeroep Engeland toe. Nadat die lidmate gedwing is om die buurt te verlaat, is die kerk gesekulariseer en verkoop. In 1997 is dit opnuut as Anglikaanse kerk ingewy. Biskop Huddlestone se as word op sy versoek hier geberg.]]

 

o little money was available for its construction in 1933 that Architect F.L.H. Flemming called it a "Holy Barn". The bell tower was added in 1936 and has been a landmark ever since. In 1940 Father Trevor Huddleston, an outspoken opponent of apartheid, was appointed Rector, and the Church became an icon of the liberation struggle. In 1955, during the forced removals, Huddleston was recalled to England. Once the congregation left the area, the Church was deconsecrated and sold. The site was reconsecrated as an Anglican Church in 1997. Bishop Huddleston's ashes are interned here at his request.
