Nairobi Colloquium
In spring 2013, the Henry Center sponsored a colloquium in Nairobi, Kenya, the first large-scale interdenominational, international effort within the church to address the growing presence of witch accusations.
The Problem
Witchcraft accusations are an increasing problem throughout the continent of Africa, leading some Western organizations to declare the situation a human rights crisis.
Our Team
Lead by Dr. Tite Tiénou and Robert Priest, the gathering consisted in a team of fifty church pastors and scholars, a majority from Africa.
Continuing Research
Early seeds for a broad ecclesial response are beginning to be laid and many research projects are underway.
