A common element of traditional spiritual worldview here in Africa is the need for gaining spiritual power. There is no well-being, & no protection from misfortune, without spiritual power.

My proposal “All Things Visible and Invisible: Nicene cosmology for Nairobian Christianity” has been accepted for the Nicaea 2025 at Angelicum in Rome next year. Ever throw a hail-mary abstract at a conference out of your league and get accepted? Oops. 😬

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. 1) patristic spiritual exousiology retrieved for the African context 2) the local church body as divine revelation
