Coming to Grips with the Complexity and Impact of Christian Missions in Africa

When seeking to take the gospel of Christ into all the world, religion, politics, history, and culture often collide. Lucy Perrin, director and archivist for the Rushford Center and the Churches of Christ Heritage Collection, has curated a display of titles examining the profound impact of Christian missions and service in Africa. A display of these books is on view at Payson Library through June 2023.

“’Preach the gospel to all creation,’ said Christ. Are we only now beginning to understand what he meant?”
