ABSTRACT Christianity has seen phenomenal growth in sub-Saharan Africa and African churches in the West have also grown rapidly in the last few decades. The majority of members in these churches in the West are migrants and their children. In Britain, these migrant churches represent a vibrant form of Christianity with regard to their visibility and prominence. Considering the history of these migrants’ churches and the challenges they face in their efforts to evangelise the host community, most migrant members of these churches use the churches as the platform for their own expression of personhood, faith and mission.

The series, published in cooperation with our highly com- mitted partner Sternberg Press, is devoted to central themes of contemporary thought about art practices and theories. The volumes comprise contribu- tions on subjects that form the focus of discourse in art theory, cultural studies, art history, and research at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and represent the quintessence of international study and discussion taking place in the respective fields. Each volume is published in the form of an anthology, edited by staff members of the academy. Authors of high international repute are invited to make contributions that deal with the respective areas of emphasis. Research activities such as international conferences, lecture series, institute- specific research focuses, or research projects serve as points of departure for the individual volumes.

International re- viewers, whose identities are not disclosed to the editors of the volumes, give an in-depth analysis and evaluation for each essay.

  • 11 January, 2016 September 22 , 2017
    C XC b 11th January, 2016 September 22nd, 2017 THE HIGHLIGHTS Oil Producers meeting in Vienna ends with no recommendation OPEC and some non-OPEC nations met in Vienna on September 22nd to discuss a possible extension of an oil supply cut deal. However, the meeting ended without a recommendation being made. The Russian Energy Minister who addressed Reuters after the meeting revealed that oil producing countries would wait until January 2018 before deciding whether to extend the output cut beyond March 2018, as oil demand was rising at a high pace. Inflation dips marginally to 16.01% The NBS reported that Nigeria’s inflation declined marginally to 16.01% in August from 16.05% in July. Food inflation which has been the major driver of the upward trend in inflation slipped to 20.25% from 20.28% in July. On the contrary, core inflation inched up to 12.30% in August, from 12.20% for the first time since January. Higher domestic and international air fares led to the increase in core inflation. In the review period, IATA rates were reviewed upwards to N325/$ and later to N359/$. Oil prices steady above $55pb In the first half of September, oil prices have been on the increase. However, on September 8th, prices dipped by 1.03% to $53.78pb following the aftermath of Hurricane Harvery and Irma, which led to the shutdown of US refineries and reduced demand for energy. The outcome of the OPEC meeting on September 22nd ended without recommendation to extend output cuts. 2 US Fed leave rate unchanged at 1.25% The U.S.

Bringing together a diverse range of high-level African stakeholders belonging to various public and private constituencies, as well as selected non-African partners, the Forum is an open and frank discussion. It aims to go beyond stating issues and renewing commitments by defining pragmatic strategies, operational action points and shared responsibilities. Since this year sees the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of African unity, the focus of the 2013 Ibrahim Forum is on the major opportunities and challenges the continent will have to tackle over the next 50 years. To facilitate the debate, the panels will be organised around the four Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) categories – Safety & Rule of Law, Participation & Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development – all of which are areas requiring exceptional leadership and governance. Each of the panels will aim to address four key questions: • What are the key priorities? • Who are the key actors responsible for driving and implementing the agenda? • What resources are available/necessary to ensure success and progress? • What indicators/mechanisms can be used to monitor implementation and measure results?

    14 / NATURE / Views NATURE / 15 Ethereal Chasm Living on the edge feels decidedly more serene when dancing with the Devil at the tip of VICTORIA FALLS. Visit one of the planet’s most famous natural won- ders in autumn for a heavenly experience. text Martha Shardalow NOT FOR the faint-hearted, peering over the brim of the largest curtain of falling water on the planet is exhilarating to say the least. Disappearing into the billowing, iridescent mist, this epitome of wild water descends 108 m to the bottom. Victoria Falls straddles two countries (Zambia and Zimbabwe). Visitors can swim in the Zambezi River – on the Zambian side – to seemingly defy the laws of physics in an unorthodox infinity pool called Devil’s Pool. The only thing stopping you from partaking in the plummet is a jagged rock formation. From September to December, the flow of the mighty Zambezi River sub- sides and the water level drops, allowing the more stalwart to (relatively) easily fight the current. If the Devil’s grips leave you woozy, turn your head towards the lush emerald sprawl of surrounding rainforest. Alternatively, embrace the dizziness and wave at the day-trippers assembling their tripods in Zimbabwe. Kenya Airways flies to Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport in Livingstone, Zambia, from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The Zambia side of Victoria Falls is 20 minutes from there by car.
