The Contribitions of African Initiated Churches to the Global Church and its Mission (original) (raw)

The paper examines the contributions of African Initiated Churches (AICs) to the global church and its mission, highlighting the de-Westernization of Christianity on the African continent. It argues that AICs play a crucial role in addressing the spiritual, social, and political needs of Africans through contextualized ecclesiology, which has facilitated their growth and outreach. Furthermore, the paper asserts that AICs can significantly influence mission strategies in Western contexts by promoting authentic community practices that counter individualism.
