THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON THE CHURCH IN AFRICA
BY PROFESSOR WILFRED MLAY
— A
single global system of world trade and socio-economic modernization.
— A
global power with political and economic interests.
— An
emerging secular, materialistic world order.
— The
technological breakthroughs made possible major explorations and subsequent
colonization of sub-Saharan Africa.
— Missionary
founded churches expanded their evangelistic mission and influence.
— Phenomenal
growth and rapid expansion of the Church to most parts of Africa south of the
Sahara since early 20th
century.
— Accelerated
growth after the transition to African leadership of the churches established
by missionaries.
— Rapid
increase in Bible translations into vernacular languages.
— The
growth of the Charismatic movement in the region and the growth of mass urban
evangelism.
— The
negative impact of ‘prosperity gospel.’
— Globalization
has had and will continue to have profound impact on the Church in Africa.
— The
Church is under constant challenge to understand these processes and to
interpret them.
— The
Church will continue to take advantage of globalization for the advancement of
the gospel.
— The
Church has spread to every corner of sub-Saharan Africa.
— The
Gospel is becoming readily accessible to more people in their mother tongue.
— Promotion
of Church unity and church witness.
Church leadership and
global influence
— The
Church is not a human institution or a project of human progress.
— The
church is called to faithfully live the gospel, in a secular materialistic
society without regard to cost.
— The
church is called to be the prophetic voice in society, speaking truth to power
on national issues.
