Mission, migration and African Christianity
With Colin Smith as a conversation partner, Esther Mombo will speak on the implications of migration trends that we see in African Christianity today on both the African as well as the global church.
Rooted in her understanding of both the push and pull factors determining this migration, especially among young Kenyans, she will explore with us what this means for people invested in the spread of the good news around the world.
She will argue that the migration of African Christians to various continents in the 21st century will change how we understand mission, and that this requires Western mission agencies to help shape what mission will look like for future generations.
In the end, she will help us think through how we can adapt to some of those changes.
Professor Mombo is a distinguished scholar in the Faculty of Theology at St Paul’s University, Limuru, Kenya, where she formerly served as Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics), teaches church history and theologies from women’s perspectives.
Her research explores the intersection of women, culture, and religion in African contexts, focusing on the history of the church in East Africa, missiological issues, gender, and patriarchy. She is actively engaged in interfaith dialogue through the Programme for Christian and Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) and is a respected member of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, contributing significantly to African women’s theological discourse.
