Stott-Bediako Forum

The bi-annual S-B Forum brings together scholar-practitioners from around the world to discuss missiological themes relevant to advancing the mission of Christ as one of radical transformation in a rapidly changing world. As its name suggests, the ethos of the forum follows in the footprints of John W.R. Stott and Kwame Bediako – Christian leaders who have had a lasting impact on generations of Christian believers worldwide, particularly as they emphasized and insisted on proclaiming and living out the whole Gospel. Both Stott and Bediako promoted a holistic understanding of mission and the importance of constructive engagements of Christianity and culture.

During the 2020-2021 Stott-Bediako Forum, we explored the theme Peace Building and Conflict Transformation from a lens of Postcolonialism and Indigenous Christianity. Find more on the 2020-2021 forum here
