What are Christians doing to meet these needs? Are they reaching out in compassion? Or is all this just an irrelevance, someone else’s problem? A day-long symposium at OCMS on the 15th of September will bring together Zimbabweans from all walks of life, a panel of international scholars, pastors and Christian aid workers, and other interested parties to understand the nature of the people and their dilemmas, the obstacles they face, the lost opportunities, and the compassionate responses that some local Christians are engaged in, as well as reflections of what further work needs to be done. Speakers include Tecla Wight (Policy Officer in the Equalities Unit, City of Fife, Scotland), Professor JoAnn McGregor (University College of London), Pastor Oobolwakhe Mayisa (OCMS alumnus and co-ordinator of the Association of Zimbabwe Christian Leaders in the UK), and Dave Smith of the Boaz Trust.
The venue is the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, Church of St Phillip and St James, Woodstock Road, Oxford OX2 6HR
The conference is free, however, delegates must register in advance to ensure a place.
