Journal of African Christian Thought Call for Papers – Volume 28 and Volume 29
Volume 28 is on the theme “Pastoral Care, Mental Health, and Family Ministry in Africa”. Matters of pastoral care in response to myriad issues that arise in the life of the church and society are of grave concern. Many people are engaged in various types of pastoral and family ministry within and outside the formal structures of the church. You are invited to submit papers addressing any aspect of the theme, including articles related to divorce, cohabitation, responses to mental health, pastoral care, or other related topics.
Deadline for submission of proposal: Dec 31; full paper due by Mar 31
Volume 29 is on the theme “Parachurch Ministry in Africa and Diaspora”. Parachurch entities occupy a unique niche within Christianity. These movements, groups, and organisation straddle the divides between church and traditional mission organisations, yet play critical roles in the overall mission of the church in Africa, as well as worldwide. Submissions are invited for articles on any aspect of parachurch mission, including historical studies, theological studies, mission studies, etc.
Deadline for submission of proposal: May 30; full paper due by August 30
