@Hokma House:

Fostering Learning as a Discovery and Delivery Process

.

Fostering learning echoes our ‘motto’: where learning continues. Learning is a two-way process of discovery and delivery. As ‘end’ (whether ‘goal’ or ‘terminus’) of a journey, it is deemed completed, when you have achieved the goal or reached the destination, to deliver what you have discovered (i.e., learned or unlearned).

It seems ‘natural’ to view learning thus; or, also as akin to communication, which involves in hermeneutical terms: author/ speaker, text/ message, and reader/ recipient or audience.

Under either ‘typology’, the process can be long, tedious or arduous and, if not truncated, be affected by composite factors or sundry issues, often beyond the learner’s ability to arbitrate or solve–this element renders total learning a ‘partial fulfillment’ exercise, where a portion of it is deferred to ‘further study’.

Our philosophy of learning (read: education) hints at that which ‘we know in part’, and even what or where ‘we have attained’ is justified as knowledge learned and delivered. This open-ended nature of learning helps us thrive, not merely survive, in the world.

We are committed: to relate our textual exercises (study, exegesis, exposing) to the ultimate issues of our world–past, present, future; and to use our varied theological discourses to engage Africa on all fronts: socio-economic, political, and educational, so as to achieve holistic development for its cities, progress for its myriad citizens.

Join in on the new conversation about Africa @ Hokma House!

RESTORING BOTH THE CENTRALITY OF CHRIST IN, AND THE LIFELINE OF, THE CHURCH’S MINISTRY

IBP has the mandate to develop a new ministerial corps for the church in Africa, principally of men and women called to be preachers or ministers of the living Word, in any capacity, to a dying world –that they do the task of delivering the message biblically right, with all that it takes. IBP offers modules and seminars during the biennial conf–no membership required to attend, only registration!

02.

BUILDING BIBLICAL SCHOLARS TO ENGAGE ANCIENT BIBLICAL/COGNATE TEXTS AND THEIR WORLDS FOR TODAY

SBS seeks to build the capacities of emerging and established biblical scholars to engage, over a broad front of critical historical, exegetical/literary and theological approaches, biblical/cognate texts and non-literary artifacts from antiquity, employing, as necessary, allied and ancillary disciplines (esp. social sciences), so as to provide the context of relationship between antiquity and (post-)modernity, and the issues which confront both worlds, and their navigation today.

03.

SHAPING A NEW LIFE, IDENTITY, THOUGHT AND EXPERIENCE (LITE) FOR AFRICANS, VIA A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENGAGEMENT WITH THE AFRICAN SITUATION

SALT is equipped to engage the Problématique of the ‘African situation’ via a multidisciplinary analysis of the sundry issues, which is theologically-informed, and minimally allows for resignifying, in a new social setting that is ‘urban’, a people’s former life, identity, thought and experience, long traded for its ‘ancestral or patrimonial debts’, which have prevented the people’s liberation and the equal transformation of its situation and society.

Exposition:

In its historical journey, education has figured prominently (whether by default or general proxy) in: religion, philosophy, politics/government, economy, business and society, as to suggest its pivotal role in human culture, institutions, civilization and progress. While often exploited, its key role has not always been recognized or compensated by policy-makers and education’s stakeholders/ leaders. The GCE forum blazes a new path in Christian classical, critical and contemporary discourses on education in Africa. It aims to: propel  education in Africa to new levels via the Christian faith channel, traversing  antiquity to (post-) modernity; engage with African issues/problems via new thinking, research, analysis; and foster the desired self-/social-transformation via a new ordering of society/social offers for Africa’s new citizens.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

ON FUTURE TRILOGY CONFERENCES (2022-)

In adjusting to the post-Covid-19 era, and for the foreseeable future, Trilogy Conferences will return to the annual schedule, and will hold, as the situation warrants them, in Nigeria or Ghana. Any changes to this new arrangement will be announced, within a reasonable time limit. All future meetings, thus, will be both physical (in-person) and virtual (via Zoom). Attendance will increasingly be based on membership, as members in any category or capacity will be required to start working in their respective groups/seminars and forums (for both SBS and SALT). International cooperation and participation will be greatly facilitated by these new arrangements.

2022 TRILOGY CONFERENCE:

Date: Sept/Oct, 2022 (TBC)

Country/City: Ghana/Accra (TBC)

Venue: TBA

The quadrilateral of a life worth living holds a greater promise for all of us. Join in the search!
