African Theological Education and the Formation of Missiocentric, Missionary-sending Church Leaders	2023	11	.docx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document	4816	210	39	The Relationship Between Theology and Missiology in African TEIs The apparent consensus among African scholars is that the failure of some African TEIs to effectively internalize mission into their theological education is primarily because, begat from Western mission churches, Western missionaries, and Western denominations, many African TEIs inherited introverted, mission-deprioritized Christendom-based educational paradigms during the eras of colonial (and post-colonial) subjugation. However, the concept itself can be traced as far back as the International Missionary Council’s Willengen conference in 1952, and even to Karl Barth’s seminal 1932 paper “Die Theologie und die Mission in der Gegenwart” (“Theology and Mission in the Present Situation”), in which he sought to locate the Church’s missionary identity in God’s trinitarian being and thus christened the Church as “a human community called to the act of mission” (as cited in Guder, 2015, p. 8).	cache/gme-2755.docx	txt/gme-2755.txt
