\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Personal Data<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

I am a Professor of Christian Religious Studies (CRS) with specialization on Church History, Religious Education and African Theology. My research focuses on the indigenisation of Christianity in Africa and the intersection of Religion with disciplines like Education, Law, Sports, Environment and Film Studies. As an Anglican Priest, I constantly seek to bridge research with real life impacts through pastoral care and counselling, ecumenism, and Parish Youth and students unions\u2019 chaplaincy. Also, I seek to contribute to Theological Education as a curriculum developer and an external examiner.<\/span><\/p>
