East African Perspectives Of Family And Community, And How They Can Inform Western Ecclesiology, Ben Strait
Scholar Week 2016 - present
Research into the daily lives of East Africans is either outdated or too narrowly focused. This presentation is the result of field research done in East Africa, especially focusing on how East Africans view and practice family and community living. It answers the questions of: What is "family" to an East African? What does community living look like in East Africa? And how can Westerners apply these intercultural ideas in practical ways?
