Its aim is to support African Christian scholars, in theology and other disciplines, to engage in fresh research, thinking and teaching about Christianity’s engagement with contemporary African society. This initiative will make 16 grants between $35,000 and $50,000 USD for two-year research and curricular development projects. These grants, awarded in two rounds of eight grants each, are for postgraduate African theological seminaries or university-based postgraduate theology programs. The awards will be for research and curricular development projects that address gospel and culture issues in Africa by drawing on interdisciplinary methods and insights to address one of four topical areas: · African spirituality and values · Science and religion—particularly health and healing · Religious innovation and competition · Forgiveness, peacemaking and reconciliation Proposals for the first round are due October 2, 2017.
