Center for Global Christianity & Mission

CGCM co-founder Prof. Marthinus 'Inus' Daneel passed away on July 29, 2024 at age 87. His deep faith, remarkable life, and significant work have shifted scholarship and benefited the Church in Africa and beyond. We are in his debt, and will miss his leadership, wisdom, and friendship.

2025 begins with news of nations and people pulling apart, but the CGCM witnesses another reality: new forms of global community and cooperation. We will be highlighting some of those points of connection through our events this Spring, such as the work of Rev. Canon Dr. Jean Baptiste Ntagengwa and his efforts to coordinate immigrant and multicultural ministries. The Center will also continue to build such important ties. The Dictionary of African Christian Biography, for instance, will team up with the Anglican Theological Seminary in Egypt so a new generation of historians can be equipped to gather the stories of Christians from North Africa. When the temptation is to pull back, the CGCM is determined to lean in.
