Emerging Africa

May 3 - 10 sees the 4th Amahoro Gathering take place, this time in Mombasa, Kenya. I've been to two Amahoro Gatherings and have found them immensely significant, since Amahoro is on the other side of the coin to the emerging conversation (taking place in Western contexts) as it looks at the impact of the colonial narrative on the Gospel, and where that leaves us now.

Here's an mp3 of Brian McLaren taking about "Post-modern and post-colonial": two sides of the same coin, which helps me frame Amahoro nicely.

There are many things I like about Amahoro: the family reunion feel, the people, the diversity, the topics we address, and that we're taking theology developed in Africa by Africans seriously.
