Michèle Sigg Receives Grant to Study the African Contribution to Global Anglicanism
Dr. Michèle Sigg, Executive Director of the Dictionary of African Christian Biography (DACB), has recently received a substantial Constable Grant from The Episcopal Church for a project entitled “The African Contribution to Global Anglicanism.” The funding will support the project team in producing six educational videos on the history of the Christian church in Africa, focusing on key figures from both the ancient church and the post-Reformation period. By providing accessible videos on key aspects of African Christian history, the project team aims to enhance the global church’s awareness and appreciation of the African church, given that today Africa is the continent with the most Christian inhabitants. The videos will be licensed by Creative Commons to enhance access, and they are scheduled to be available in May 2022.
