Description
The phenomenal growth and vitality of Christianity in Africa is an accepted fact now. They are breaking out of their North Atlantic origins and seeking a new identity. Christology stands at the heart of the quest. Africans have met the Christ and are here seeking to articulate that encounter in diverse ways, reflecting the pluriformity and diversity of Africa. These grew out of an ecumenical encounter on the theme of Christology in Africa today. Another bonus was that Africans of the Diaspora, namely the USA and West Indies, were let in on the debate.
