Transformation, Mission, Reconciliation, and Unity
This article argues that for Christ’s love to be reflected in the Christian call to mission, it should be seen from the perspective of the cross: self‐emptying and selfless love that seeks the good of the other just as the self.

In Search of Decolonial Eschatology
Situated within relational spirituality, the article suggests a possibility of decolonizing the eschatological future from a Bemba futuristic perspective. It argues that in order to reorder social relations for life-giving of any former colonized group, their vision of the future must be decolonized and brought into dialogue with the missio Christi which encapsulates an eschato-decolonial vision. Eschato-decolonial future is proposed an option ar…

The MNGRA was established in 2017 by President Edgar Chagwa Lungu to strengthen the Declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation. The second republican President Frederick JT Chiluba declared Zambia a Christian nation (hereafter, the Declaration) on 29 De…
