Presently, it is a requirement for those who wish to obtain bachelors degree in Christian Theology. The course will consist of fourteen units, divided into three modules. Module one discusses on the Introduction of the gospel to Africa and the biography of some selected pioneer leaders. Module two discusses the life and ministry of selected past leaders and the spread of the gospel in Africa, while Module three discusses Selected Christian Leaders presently influencing the stability and growth of the gospel in Africa. The materials have been developed to suit a Nigerian studying at a distance. This course guide tells you briefly what the course is about, what course materials you will be using and how you are to use them. It provides some general guidelines for the amount of time you might be spending in order to successfully complete each unit of the course. It also gives you some guidance on your tutor-marked assignments, details of which are to be found in a separate ‘assignment file’. The course involves regular tutorials and you are advised to attend the sessions. What You Will Learn In This Course This course does not presume that you have a pre-knowledge of African Church Leaders. As a result, you are going to be assisted to build up a repertoire of knowledge on the contributions of African Church Leaders. You will come to realise that the study of African Church Leaders is not just an academic discipline, but it is necessary for daily living and spiritual life. You will come to appreciate that even your little contributions as a Christian towards changing the life of others which is the responsibility of every Christian helps to spread the gospel of Jesus. The course will be ecumenical in its approach. With this method, it will not seek to adopt the history of any particular church or denomination. Neither will it use the official documents on African Church Leaders of any particular church or denomination. This course will seek to take a centrist approach to the discussion on African Church Leaders which will be of interest to the generality of Christians. This course will first take you through the brief history of Christianity in Africa and the spread of Christianity in Africa. The course will further review the contributions of 4 CTH 847 AFRICAN CHURCH LEADERS Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Moses Ladejo Stone, William Wade Harris, Agbebi Mojola, Isaiah Shembe and Garrick Braide to the spread of Christianity in Africa. The course will also explore the contributions of Orimolade Moses, Samuel Oschoffa, Joseph Babalola and Benson Idahosa to the spread and growth of Christianity in Africa. These African leaders were responsible for starting the African independent Churches, which took into consideration the culture and language of the African people. These African independent churches helped Christianity to take root and spread among the African people. Furthermore, in this course, you will come to study the contributions of selected Christian leaders presently influencing the stability and growth of the gospel. Such leaders include Bishop Peter Akinola, Pastor Williams Folunrosho Kumuyi, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor Daniel Olukoya. These men have taken African Christianity to the global stage such that Africa is shaping the image of Christianity today. In view of this, you have an exciting course, “African Church Leaders” ahead of you. Harmonize what you will learn in this course with your personal reflections and take time to put what you study and reflect on into practice. A general bibliography of all the reference works used in preparing the course guide is given towards the end of this course guide. Hopefully, your use of these will enable you to deepen your knowledge in other areas of your interest, which the course content may barely treat. Again, you will notice that there are many biblical references and quotations given in this course. Please note that all the biblical quotations used in this course are taken from (1990) The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers. Course Aims The aim of this course can be summarized as follows: The general aim of the course is to acquaint you with the contributions of African Church Leaders to the growth and stability of Christianity in Africa. This course specifically aims to help you appreciate their heroic sacrifice, presentations and the suffering they encountered on the basis of their faith. 5 CTH 847 AFRICAN CHURCH LEADERS Course Objective In order to achieve the aim listed above, the course sets overall objectives. In addition, each unit has its own specific objectives, which are always outlined at the beginning of that unit. You should read them before you start working through the unit. It is necessary to refer to them during your study of the unit, to check on your progress. Also, after completing a unit, you should glance through the unit objectives. This will enable you to be sure that you have done what was required of you by the unit. Listed below are the wider objectives of the course as a whole. By meeting these objectives, you will have achieved the aim of the course as a whole. On successful completion of the course, you should be able to: Explain the history of Christianity in Africa Discuss the spread of Christianity in Africa Describe the Contributions of Pioneers like Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Moses Stone, William Wade, Agbebi Mojola, Isaiah Shembe and Braide Garrick to the growth of Christianity in Africa Explain the emergence of African independent Churches Enumerate the contributions of Moses Orimolade, Samuel Oschoffa, Joseph Babalola and Benson Idahosa to the xpread of Christianity in Africa Discuss the mighty revivals experienced during the ministry of these selected African leaders Describe the contributions of Africa Christian leaders like Peter Akinola, William Kumuyi, Enoch Adeboye, David Oyedepo and Daniel Olukoya who have positively impacted on the stability and spread of Christianity both in Africa and in the world at large.

  • Calendar of Intercessions Michaelmas – Advent 2017
    Calendar of Intercessions Michaelmas – Advent 2017 to this edition of the prayer diary, following the Feast St Michael and All Angels until the first Sunday of Advent. There are now two Rochester cycles of prayer – ‘parishes’ and ‘extra- Welcome parochial’. This is an attempt to be a little more even handed with the additional groups who are prayed for as the year turns, and to include our church schools in our prayers. As usual, it’s a sizable document but designed to be quick and clear to read, and also to leave space for your own notes. Of course, you do not have to print it all out at once, and you’re welcome to reformat it, if you wish (a Word version is available from my blog, see website below). Sunday entries are designed to look at some of the bigger pictures in our Diocese – sometimes geographical (deaneries, archdeaconries, link dioceses) sometimes issues or activities (Vocations Sunday). If there is an aspect of diocesan life that you’d like included on a Sunday, do let me know. These are followed through the week by daily prayers from all over the diocese, and across the Anglican Communion, including the calendar of saints and other worthy people. Finally, there is space in the daily entries for you to note any prayer requests that have been made to you or your parish, or any special interests you want to remember in your prayers. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions – [email protected] or 01634 814439. I will also be pleased to provide large print copies to any who would find that helpful.

  • One Baptism, One Hope in God's Call
    A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICERS OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: As your Presiding Officers we appointed the Special Commission on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion late in 2005. The Special Commission was asked to prepare the way for a consideration by the 75th General Convention of recent developments in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion with a view to maintaining the highest degree of communion possible. They have admirably discharged this very weighty task. With our deep thanks to them we commend their report to you. Here we would like to make three observations. First, though this document is a beginning point for legislative decisions—and indeed includes eleven resolutions—it is first and foremost a theological document. Its primary focus is on our understanding of our participation as members of the Anglican Communion in God’s Trinitarian life and God’s mission to which we are called. Second, the report is intended as the beginning point for a conversation that will take place in Columbus under the aegis of the Holy Spirit. That is, it is intended to start the conversation and not conclude it: the Commission has seen itself as preparing the General Convention to respond in the wisest possible ways. Again, we thank the members of the Special Commission who have been servants of this process of discernment. Third, following up on the careful work done by the Commission, the General Convention is now invited into the Windsor Process and the further unfolding of our common life together in the Anglican Communion.

  • Gafcon – Russell Powell
    What is Gafcon – Russell Powell I do sympathise with you this afternoon sitting there on those chairs! Please stay with us this afternoon because I think what Phillip has to say next is extremely important. While I have sympathised with you, I will give you an opportunity to sympathise with me. What we will spend two and a half hours listening to this afternoon is what I have two minutes to brief journalists on, and what the archbishop has 20 seconds to comment on in the media. Not an easy task. My purpose over the next couple of minutes is to unfold some of the aims of the Global Anglican Future Conference and then some of the detail. The speakers before me have set the scene in which it takes place. The organisers, including Archbishop Jensen have been meeting this week in England. In their preparations they have restated the goals of the conference that will be useful if I mention here. The Goals are – 1. Provide an opportunity for fellowship, to continue to experience and proclaim the transforming love of Christ. 2. Develop a renewed understanding of our identity as Anglican Christians within our current context. 3. Prepare for an Anglican future in which the Gospel is un-compromised and Christ- centred mission a top priority. The idea for such a conference came out of a meeting of Primates and Bishops in Nairobi in December. The event was not designed to be an alternative Lambeth – if you had wanted to do that you would have put it on at the same time as Lambeth.

  • Christian Muslim Digest
    Christian-Muslim News Digest Issue 2(28) 2016 Introduction Welcome to the second issue of the Christian-Muslim News Digest for 2016. This issue looks at the rise in religious fervour in Egypt over the past few months, which has led to a slew of blasphemy cases in the country. It also features a report on the reactions from Christians and Muslims to a religious bill that has placed new restrictions on faith communities in Kaduna State, Nigeria. *** Blasphemy cases targeting Muslims and Christian in Egypt Two years have passed since the Muslim Brotherhood was ousted from power in Egypt over fear of political Islam, but a new rise in religious fervour has led to a succession of blasphemy cases in recent months. Though President Abd el-Fattah al-Sisi came to power by promising to eliminate religious extremism and is generally popular among Christian Copts, Egypt’s largest religious minority, authorities continue aggressively to pursue those who insult Islam. In February, three Coptic teenagers were sentenced to five years in prison on the charge they were mocking Islamic prayers, even though they insisted that in the video used to convict them they were not mocking Muslim prayer but recent beheadings performed by members of Islamic State. A few months earlier, a Christian from a village near Luxor received a six-year prison sentence for posting an offensive cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on Facebook, though he said he had no memory of the cartoon. There have also been a number of high-profile blasphemy cases involving Muslims in recent months.
