LWF Studies’ Book on Poverty and the Mission of the Church in Africa
“So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth” (Job 5:16) is the title of a Lutheran World Federation publication focusing on Poverty and the Mission and the Church in Africa. Produced in the LWF Studies series, 01/2007, the publication brings together presentations and reflections from a September 2006 LWF Department for Mission and Development (DMD) consultation on poverty and the mission of the church in Africa, and a Department for Theology and Studies (DTS) seminar in Arusha, Tanzania. Participants in the meetings included representatives from the LWF member churches in Africa and Northern partners.
The 180-page publication is co-edited by DTS director, Rev. Dr Karen Bloomquist and Rev. Dr Musa Filibus, LWF/DMD area secretary for Africa. In its preface, Filibus expresses the hope that what is shared in this book will inspire churches publicly to denounce impoverishment and to work toward better alternatives for the suffering masses in Africa and globally.
