A History of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians 1989-2007

When “African Theology” was first formulated, women played just a
small role. In 1989 Mercy Amba Oduyoye set out to change this by
creating the Circle of Concerned African Theologians in order to give them a
voice. The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians is an African
Baby, born in an ecumenical surrounding. Though there were other
movements addressing the issue of gender inequalities in church and
society, circle theologies are distinct from other women’s liberation
movements in that they are theologies formed in the context of African
culture and religion. This book traces the Circle history from 1989 to
2007.
