In the published article, Resane, K.T., 2020, ‘The church and the parachurch: Can the two dialogue in order to agree?’, Verbum et Ecclesia 41(1), a2099. https://doi.org/10.4102/ve.v41i1.2099, Mathison (2014) was not cited in the article next to the verbatim text. The citation has now been inserted on page 4 under the section Why the church and the parachurch are in conflict?, Theological argument, paragraph 1 and should read:

The original uncited paragraph:

It has been argued, for example, that there is no scriptural justification for parachurch ministries and that their very existence is inherently erroneous. The critics, who happen to be theologians, argue that Christ is building his church, not his parachurch. These theologians further claim that all the good things that parachurch ministries are doing can be and should be done under the oversight of the local church.

The revised and cited paragraph:

Mathison (2014) captures theological argument by stating:

It has been argued, for example, that there is no scriptural justification for parachurch ministries and that their very existence is inherently wrong. Christ is building His church, not His parachurch, it is said. All of the good things that parachurch ministries are doing can be and should be done under the oversight of the local church, critics argue. (n.p.)
