My swan song for Fuller Theological Seminary was a simple paper: What is African Christian Leadership? A stunning fact is that, while there are many thousands of books on Christian leadership, I could locate not one that originates in Africa. It would seem that the reason for this is that, in Africa, the Christian leader is not the focus of Christian leadership. So I chose to study every African Christian leadership curriculum I could hunt down: a dozen in all from Cameroon, Kenya, South Africa, Togo, and Uganda. Their aggregate emphasis is shown in the diagram (click on it to enlarge). It will be seen that the typical Western emphases come last in Africa.
