Developments and Trends in African Christianity: An Anglican Kenyan Perspective
20/10/2015
Inaugural Seminar of the Mission Theology project at Lambeth Palace, presented on 20 October 2015
A cursory look at African Christianity reveals at least two conspicuous phenomena. The first of these is the sustained exponential growth of Christianity within a relatively short period of time, with numbers growing from about 10 million in 1900 to just over half a billion in 2015. An equally noticeable phenomenon is the diversity of the different forms of Christian practices and teachings in Africa to the extent that it may be more accurate to see it as Christianities rather than Christianity.
