Across sub-Saharan Africa, adherents of various Christian traditions have not only lived with religious plurality, increasingly they are now been challenged to re-tell the message of the unchanging gospel of Christ’s offer of salvation for humanity and become apologetic Christian witnesses amidst circumstances of plurality. Most often than not, the focus of such apologetic witness has been to address other religions – such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. – but rarely about addressing those who espouse primal spiritualities premised on African traditional religious cosmologies.

The Pan-African Theological Roundtable is a project that is jointly coordinated by Missio Africanus and African Theology Worldwide. Established to serve as a platform where scholars, researchers and practitioners of issues related to African Christianity and mission can meet to share research and discuss issues, the platform organizes monthly virtual sessions on themes related to African Christianity and its diasporas.
As African Christianity continues to expand, scholars interested in understanding the theological embroidery offered by African Christianity are now challenged to provide the academy with concrete examples of just how Christianity is doing in each of the 54 sovereign and independent countries that make up the African continent. At African Theology Worldwide, we have taken up this challenge to showcase just how diverse Christianity is across Africa and what this means for our understanding of Africa’s place in World Christianity.
