African Christian Theology (ISSN: 3006-1768; e-ISSN: 3007–1771) is the academic journal of the Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA). The second issue of the journal has been published here.
"African Christian Theology exists in part as a platform to highlight African voices. This issue succeeds at that task. The lead article, demonstrating our pan-African commitment, is in French rather than English. Rodrick Kapwa Ilunga (DR Congo) applies the liberation theology of James Cone to contexts on the African continent. Because birds have two wings and a one-winged bird cannot fly, and too often the female wing of the Church is silenced, the editors rejoice that 78% of this issue's articles have been contributed by women. Their voices need to be heard. In the second article, Esther Mombo and Jackline Makena (Kenya) explore the legacy and prospects of the theology of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians. Next, curriculum developer and victim advocate Ruth Barron (Kenya) draws on indigenous Maasai knowledge to challenge the Church to confront abuse. In the fourth article, Diane B. Stinton (Canada) reflects on John S. Mbiti’s contributions to African Christian spirituality. Next Mercy U. Chukwuedo (Nigeria) examines 1 Corinthians 14:26–40 in the context of Igbo traditional culture and religion and the ongoing debate over the ordination of women in the Anglican Church of Nigeria. In the sixth article, Samwel Kiuguini Nduati and Linda Ochola-Adolwa (Kenya) examine the effect of the recent pandemic on Eucharistic practice in two denominations in Kenya. Finally, Anglican Archbishop Maimbo W. F. Mndolwa (Tanzania) joins Fergus J. King to offer, with some assistance from myself, an assessment of the legacy of an “Apostle to Africans,” Bishop Frank Weston of Zanzibar (1871–1924)."
