Accrediting and supporting Christian education in Africa comes with its own set of values and challenges unique to the continent.
Our guest, David Tarus, Executive Director at The Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA), shares the need to center African scholars and voices in their curriculum and why it's essential, not only for African institutions, but for the global theological community. David talks about how African schools face logistical hurdles in distributing homegrown texts and resources in sometimes hostile political environments, and why much can be gained from examining their resilience, community, and scholarship.
