'Without women there is no church': Audiomission July 2014

06/27/14 • 21 min

We hear the stories of three women who have become 'firsts': mission partner Bertha Schoonbee in Rwanda became the first coach of the Rwandan national Goalball team - much to her surprise! Nolavy from Madagascar became the first woman in her Province of the Anglican Communion to graduate from theological college. And Bishop Pushpa is the first woman bishop in the Church of South India!

Audiomission Special - Samuel Ajayi Crowther - an extraordinary life

Samuel Ajayi Crowther was perhaps the most outstanding African Christian of the 19th century. To mark the 150th anniversary of his consecration as bishop in 1864, we tell his life story in a special edition of Audiomission narrated by Burt Caesar and featuring contributions from Professor Andrew Walls and John Martin. (This was first published in 2007 to mark the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade and the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the Gospel in Nigeria through Crowther's mission expedition.)
