Theological Education that Makes a Difference

The Free Methodist Church became a phenomenon in Malawi around the time of independence, when in the spirit of the times, and in the wake of a hundred years of Christian missionaries, new churches and missions were becoming popular. Since inception this Church has grown by about ten percent a year. The author of this book attributes its success to a particular approach of theological education. Writing from a committed, insider perspective, he outlines the missionaries' Chilinde approach in Malawi. The purpose of this educational philosophy is that the church should grow, and that the growth of the faith is best mediated through its bible school, allowing both the Church and its theological school to mutually strengthen one another.Church, Henry G. is the author of 'Theological Education that Makes a Difference', published 2002 under ISBN 9789990816464 and ISBN 9990816468.
