About the Book

This book bridges theological and sociocultural perspectives, offering nuanced insights into the daily lives, spirituality, and church experiences within the women’s movement Femmes pour Christ in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon. Using practical theological methodology, diakonia theories, and African feminist perspectives, it explores women’s roles in African Christianity, aiming for spiritual and holistic development, personal and collective empowerment and transformation in their homes, church, and society. The book vividly describes the movement’s identity markers and women’s mutual diaconal efforts, reflecting central dimensions of the African context and culture. Despite fostering dignity and providing space in the church, women still face oppressive daily realities in a patriarchal context. The book contributes to academic scholarship in African theology and World Christianity, with significant implications for women’s development within religious contexts.
