USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: THE OGBU KALU CENTER

I suggest that some of the following may be added:

• Narratives about ancient Christianity in  East Africa
• The Ethiopian Christian Orthodox Church and its impact
• Ethiopian monasteries and their legacies 
• The Church building legacies of  King Lalibela
• The socio- historical  context of Ethiopian ecclesiastical constructions
• The Nubian Christian Kingdoms and their impact
• Contradictions between pre-colonial and colonial Christian theologies

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - THE OGBU KALU CENTER

 

After a lot of planning and hard work, I am happy to announce the establishment of the Ogbu Kalu Center for Christianity and African Culture.

Gratitude goes to Mrs. Willy Kalu, various donors, and the Abia State University, Uturu, who donated an entire building on its lovely campus to the project.

 

The Pan-African University Press has released over a thousand copies of one of Kalu's book,  Divided People of God. If you are at the conference, be assured of a free copy.

 

The Center will be inaugurated this year on June 20^th, with lectures by Professors Afe Adogame and Chima Korieh. My humble self will speak on "Understanding Ogbu Kalu"

 

The CFP of the conference is attached.
