| 總結: | This research paper explores the missiological implications of the migration of African Christians to Britain. It particularly focuses on the mission of African Christians within the historic church context in the UK by considering the history and presence of African Christians within Baptists Together as a case study. Why do we have many African Christians within historic churches, what are their struggles, and most importantly, what are their mission contributions? In this article I review key literature in the study of reverse mission, situating it within the discourse of African theology. I then narrow my investigation by looking at various examples of mission carried out by African migrants within Baptists Together. I am writing as an African missionary and a Baptist minister in Britain, employing an insider’s perspective using an historical-theological approach. |
