This module is a great opportunity for those looking to expand their knowledge on the complex challenges facing Christianity in our globalized world.

The module ‘World Christianity and Global Challenges’ enhances critical and reflective thinking skills related to mission, interfaith dialogue, and world Christianity. Explore different traditions and engage with others’ ideas while presenting your own positions. Expand your understanding of Christianity and its role in addressing global challenges.

This programme is perfect for individuals who are currently involved in ministry and mission-focused organizations. It provides valuable resources and training to help you excel in your work and make a positive impact on the world. Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out, this programme has something to offer for everyone. So why wait? Sign up today and start making a difference in the world of ministry and mission work.

Our programmes primarily consist of distance learning, but there is also an option to attend an in-person workshop. The World Christianity and Global Challenges module is offered in July in Cambridge. If you’re unable to attend in person, don’t worry, as participation online is also an option. We want to make sure that all of our students have access to our courses, no matter where they are located.

Applications are now open. Highly recommend for the 2023/2024 academic year!

Speaker

Abstract:

African literature, like African Christianity, is perhaps more vibrant than ever. Mid-twentieth century literary texts, written in the era of political decolonisation, often engage with Christianity in critical, if not negative ways, associating it with European colonialism.

She stayed for two and a half years in Uganda, teaching and working throughout the College with Ugandans and other nationals.  She worked simultaneously — through emails — with friends, family and church members (her ‘encouragers’) in the UK and USA — to describe her work and gain support for it.   

Here are some of her messages.  They reflect the joys and sorrows, insights and dilemmas of the outsider looking in — who is also the insider looking outward with explanations for others — through her confusion and concern, joy, anger, hard-won patience and new insights.  

They are, on the one hand, early reflections on a cross-cultural challenge.  They are also current reflections — through the lens of time and distance — on experiences that unfolded in that place in the southwest corner of Uganda.
