ABSTRACT

The chapter explores the integrity of Christian mission in Africa from the perspective of an African in diaspora, an émigré presently living in the United States. From this particular viewpoint, three “realities” seem especially relevant and important for framing the author’s ideas. The author argues that the integrity of mission is rooted in the nature of the Gospel and the nature of the Church. Second, the Church is now solidly rooted in Africa. Third, on the continent the word mission is problematic as it is often ambiguous and misunderstood. The author then calls for a critical appropriation of the integrity of missions that would make the gospel relevant to contemporary African challenges.
