Highlights
A brief history of the Circle is in order
The interesting variety of pertinent issues explored by the authors in this volume range from the challenge which continues to be posed by the pandemic of HIV and AIDS to gender-based violence; same sexualities in African communities; forms of masculinities; patriarchy as manifested in other genderbased violence, violent theology and biblical hermeneutics and even in (South) Africa’s apparent allergy to female presidential leadership
The challenge to the present and future Circle members is to contribute significantly to the struggle against gender-based violence (GBV) and religious harmony in Africa and beyond. Concluding this Special Issue is the article by Anastasie Masanga-Maponda (AMM), ‘The Impact of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians – French Zone on Church and African Theology Issues’
Summary
A brief history of the Circle is in order. Concerned about issues of social justice, especially as they pertained to the African female folk, Mercy Amba Ewudziwa Oduyoye convened a meeting of a group of African women theologians in August 1988. In their commitment to continuing the legacy of the Circle, and deliberately foregrounding gender as an important key to unlock both the Bible and theology, the authors in this Special Issue engage a scarcely addressed topic both in our churches and in academia alike.
