| 520 | |a This essay takes the significant propositions of the Second African Synod on reconciliation, justice and peace as its starting point. It argues that what is needed in African Christianity today is a missional theological praxis for transformation and hope. This kind of theology, the paper argues, seeks to move theological reflection in Africa from a merely analytical and descriptive account to a more critical and creative engagement with biblical, cultural, and Christian history in order to work out a missional transformational praxis. This requires the departure from a triumphant theology which glories simply in the Christian expansion in Africa to a deeper concern on how to bring about the fruits of the eschatological harvest of God's kingdom in the challenging and changing social contexts of African societies. However, the paper proposes that what is needed in African Christianity is how to mine the riches of the new Pentecost currently swiping through Africa in valorizing the agency of African Christians and cultural traditions to bring about a better and more hopeful Africa. The paper shows how this could be done in very concrete and practical ways. | ||
