Acts 11: Convergence 1 - Day 2 of 2

This is the inaugural event of the newly established ACTS 11 Project: Centre for Global Witness and Human Migration. Established in January 2024, this first-of-a-kind Centre exists to facilitate a sustained conversation on the critical subject of human migration and its implications for the Christian faith and mission. In this event, we will gather to think Christianly together about current trends in migration, to reflect critically on the factors behind them, and to attend to stories of migrant Christians—all this to help us discern what God may be up to in this new age of migration and how we can play our roles in it.

The keynote speech will be given by Prof Jehu J. Hanciles, Professor of World Christianity at Emory University. He is the author of two key books on the intersectional discourse between migration, church history, and migration: Beyond Christendom, Migration and the Making of Global Christianity. He is a leading expert in the study of mission and migration and will help us think about what contemporary migration patterns mean for the Christian community in the world.

In addition to Prof Hanciles, we will have several other experts speaking about different aspects of the discourse.
