Emerging Africa

I came across an interesting book recently that sheds light on the virulent criticism by many of all things postmodern: 'Postmodernism in History: Fear or Freedom?' by Beverley Southgate (available free at questia). Here is an insightful extract, especially read in the context of recent attacks on the emerging church conversation in SA and the return to extreme forms of fundamentalism described by Estelle:

With regards to both Cori's post on the recent Amahoro Gathering in Rwanda and the comments that the emerging church conversation in SA is too 'Western' (a more accurate description than too white, I think), I want to draw your attention to the work of Amahoro Africa - a movement of African Christian leaders who are dreaming and thinking together about what it means to be the emerging church in post-colonial Africa.
