"Reading Scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes; Implications for Eco-care and Eco-mission:. - Pastor Emmanuel Paa Kwesi Awudi

PASTOR EMMANUEL PAA KWESI AWUDI WRITES: I presented a paper today at the Faculty of Theology, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany on the theme, "Reading Scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes; Implications for Eco-care and Eco-mission". Looking at the filth that has engulfed the African continent, one would expected to see serious theological discuss on ecology, especially on the part of African Pentecostals and neo-Pentecostals (the fastest growing Christian movement in Africa). But this is not so. In my opinion, this is due to what I call, "reading scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes". When we lack sufficient biblical definition of God’s mission for humanity, we tend to exclude care for creation other-than-human in our Christian mission. And since Africa has become a heartland of World Christianity, eco-theology must feature extensively in African theological discourse and mission praxis, for the theology that matters is where the m...
