What if I could somehow bring these two together? What if interested and knowledgeable people could slowly read through and analyze a book, discussing the issues it raises and thinking through how to apply them in our East African ministry? Now there is an answer: the ACFAR Network.The ACFAR Network is a community of evangelical Christians that want to work together toward making a difference in Uganda and throughout the region. We will begin by reading through The New Faces of Christianity: Believing the Bible in the Global South by Philip Jenkins. Starting in January, the ACFAR Network will read and discuss one chapter a week for two months.
Would you like to be a part of this exciting new group? Join now! All it takes is two months of reading around 20 pages a week and posting your thoughts, comments, questions, and/or critiques. Interested? Simply buy a copy of the book (it should be available online or at most bookstores) and enter your name below. I look forward to seeing how God will use us to impact East Africa with His truth!

Sounds like a fun book to discuss, but I live in a rural area. Amazon takes a while to ship to me. I'll let you know when the book arrives.
J.K.,
Nice to hear from you! I look forward to you joining in our discussion!
I have the book now.
Powerfull introduction and first chapter.
I'm a little bit of a "fundy" myself, and I am encouraged by the conservative element in African theology and church life.
J.K.,
I also really enjoyed the first chapter and appreciate your comments!
In case you didn't already know, I have posted my summaries and interactions with the first two chapters:
1) Shall the Fundamentalists Win?
2) Power in the Book
