This book shows how missiological issues of contextualization and outreach have shaped the history of the Methodist Church Ghana since the independence of Ghana from colonial rule. Ghanaians have accepted Methodism on their own terms and have reworked it to fit their needs. The Methodist Church Ghana has its roots in a Bible study group of Ghanaians, formed in 1835. Aided by British Methodist missionaries, the group developed over the next 130 years, until, in 1961, it gained autonomy from the British Methodist Conference. Central elements in the contextualization of this church include Ghanaian identity Akan culture, and Methodist missionary theology. This book examines the evolution and consolidation of Methodism in Ghana from 1961 to 2000, highlighting in particular the contributions of the Fante people.\n\nPublished in: Trenton, NJ\n\nPhysical description: xliv, 292 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Ministry to Muslim women : longing to call them sisters \/ Fran Love and Jeleta Eckheart, editors.","author":"Eckheart, Jeleta.; Love, Fran.","isbn":"0878083383","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"William Carey Library"},"datePublished":"2000","inLanguage":"English","description":"Contents: \tGod's passion released through us \/ Fran Love -- Current issues affecting Muslim women \/ C.M.
