Book Synopsis African Contextual Realities by : Rodney L. Reed
Download or read book African Contextual Realities written by Rodney L. Reed and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who has “eyes to see” acknowledges the growing importance of the African church to the future of global Christianity. But what does it mean for the church to take root in Africa? How should the message of the gospel and the practice of Christianity be contextualized for Africa? African Contextual Realities addresses many of the questions surrounding contextualization from a practical point of view and is the fruit of the 6th Annual Conference of the Africa Society of Evangelical Theology held in Nairobi in 2016. The book explores such questions as: • In what ways should the mission of God be universally recognizable in every cultural context? • In our efforts to contextualize, how do we avoid compromising the very gospel we are to proclaim? • How can the African church wean itself away from dependency on the Western church? • How does Christianity speak into some of the cultural and social issues arising out of contemporary African settings – issues like widow cleansing, Christian-Muslim relations, and peace-building? All those who are interested to learn more about the contextualization of African Christianity will find this volume to be an important resource.

Book Synopsis Towards African Missiology by : Francis Anekwe Oborji
Download or read book Towards African Missiology written by Francis Anekwe Oborji and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reflects on a credible and a new language of Christian mission in Africa. The author’s thoughts and approaches not only provide a missiological insight which contribute to the repertoire of expanding fresh ideas in the missiological studies but also serves the purpose of highlighting the active participation of Africans in the missionary mandate of Jesus Christ. In other words, the scope of missiology needs a contextualized interpretation. Thus, he proposes a proactive language for missiology in Africa thereby underlining Africans as normal and full members of the human family. In the light of the Vatican II mission theology, the new language should be based on the fact that Africans will grow and do better in admiration and not in sympathy. Interestingly, the arguments in this volume opens the space for the on-going discussions in the mission of the church in the era of secularization and post-modernity. Consequently, a new language for missiology in Africa will come from the retrieval and modernization of our African cultural matrix pursued from the point of view of the daily struggles of the Africans themselves for survival which also addresses Africans in the spirit of cooperation.
Book Synopsis An African Pilgrimage on Evangelism by : John Wesley Zwomunondiita Kurewa
Download or read book An African Pilgrimage on Evangelism written by John Wesley Zwomunondiita Kurewa and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How easily we forget that it was Africans who brought the gospel to Africa, not foreign missionaries! Evangelism has always been central to African Christianity, ever since Egyptians and Libyans returned home from Jerusalem following the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). In this brief history of the church in Africa, Dr. John Kurewa highlights the major approaches to evangelism that the church employed over the centuries, for better and for worse. Then, in historical context, Kurewa zeroes in on those distinctive methods of evangelism, proclamation and disciple formation that shaped a diverse yet vibrant African Methodism. Thanks to this historical review, we stand to gain fresh vision for ministries of evangelism that truly can fulfill the Great Commission—to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
Book Synopsis Building the Church as Family of God by : Joseph G Healey MM
Download or read book Building the Church as Family of God written by Joseph G Healey MM and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has gone through various editions or versions. The "First Version" was given as a paper on "Small Christian Communities in the AMECEA Region: An Evaluation of their Growth and Impact" at the 13th Interdisciplinary Theological Session on the theme "The Faculty of Theology of CUEA Celebrates the Golden Jubilee of AMECEA" at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) in Nairobi, Kenya on 3 March, 2011. Many papers were presented at this conference covering the 50 years of AMECEA under three headings: Part I: "Deeper Evangelization. Part II: "Formation and Education." Part III: "Church Life, Organization and Structures." I specifically treated the topic of "Small Christian Communities" under Part III. Many pastoral leaders including the AMECEA bishops recommended the importance of a thorough critical evaluation and assessment of SCCs to learn from the past and to help plan for the future. This includes strategic follow-up. In this book I describe the ministry of the 16 member AMECEA Small Christian Communities (SCCs) Training Team (five priests, one Religious Sister, eight laymen and two laywomen) and an additional informal SCCs Research Teams that helps on research, evaluation and assessment. I draw on my long experience in Africa. I came to serve in the AMECEA Office in Nairobi, Kenya in 1968 as the first Social Communications Secretary of AMECEA from 1968 to 1974. I have been involved, directly and indirectly in seven World Synod of Bishops. Over the years I have served at various AMECEA activities, meetings and events in official and unofficial capacities. Bishops Vincent McCauley referred to me as one of AMECEA Roving Ambassadors. This I have been privileged to serve the Catholic Church in Eastern Africa for 52 years of AMECEA's history (1968-2020). I am grateful that I still have a lot of the active institutional memory of AMECEA. If someone has done something for a long time, the extended meaning of a Swahili idiom says that the person has eaten a lot of salt. So I am happy to have eaten a lot of salt in serving AMECEA and the development of Small Christian Communities in Eastern Africa. A summary of my 15 African names (alphabetically) gives an interesting insight to my life and ministry during my 52 years in Africa (1968-2020) and especially how Africans see me.
Book Synopsis The Dynamics and Contradictions of Evangelisation in Africa by : Peter Acho Awoh
Download or read book The Dynamics and Contradictions of Evangelisation in Africa written by Peter Acho Awoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically discusses missionary Christianity and colonization in Africa as twin enterprises with a common ambition. While the colonialist set out to invest capital and reap profit, the missionary desire was to tend and turn African souls from damnation. It was this desire that drove the missionaries into the interior, propelled by the belief that no land was too remote to escape their attention and vigilance. It equally kept missionary zeal buoyant. The clarification of the concept of salvation within the Roman Catholic Church during the Vatican II Council set in motion the current lethargy that has in some places crippled the mission itself. In retrospect, one can begin to wonder why Africans became Christians. What reasons motivated the early adherents to cling to this foreign religion? Were there some internal deficiencies in African traditional religions, which the Africans hoped to remedy by joining the new religion? Or was it just part of the wholesale flirting with whatever was foreign and perceived to be modern? What baits were used by the missionaries to entice Africans? Christianity posed a danger to many of the time-honoured answers to African problems. These were the 'values' Africans converting to Christianity were expected to abandon. Why have Christians continually returned to their abandoned roots in time of crisis? This moving, well argued, richly documented and empirically substantiated study concludes by cautioning against the stubborn drive at radical conversion to Christianity with scant regard to the imperatives of enculturation.

There are many varieties of small groups, small communities and church small groups/small group churches in the Christian Churches in Eastern Africa that can be classified as follows: *Bible Study Groups, Café Churches, Fellowship Groups, Home Fellowship Groups, Small Fellowship Groups, House Cell Fellowships and House Churches in the Anglican (Episcopalian) Church.*Home Group Fellowships Small Groups that operate like Fraternal Communities in the Baptist Church.*Small Cell Groups in the Mormon Church and Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church.*Cell Churches, Cell Groups, Devotional Groups, Fellowship (called Ushirika in Swahili) Groups, Home Cells, Home Churches, House Churches (Eglise de maison in French), House Fellowships, Prayer Circles and Spiritual Growth Groups in the Evangelical and Pentecostal Churches.*District Groups and Fellowship Groups in the Presbyterian Church.*Cells in the Methodist Church.*Church Homes in the United Church of Christ.The cornerstone of most of these small groups or small prayer groups is the Bible. Most common is weekly Bible Study following an organized reading and study plan. At times there is Bible Sharing and Bible Reflection. Devotional small groups are increasing. Fellowship is very important especially in the African context including emphasis on community building, singing and socializing together.
