Abstract
[What should readers expect in the pages to come? In the We Believe series of booklets, sponsored by the Center for Early African Christianity, we will focus on the African church fathers (Tertullian, Origen, Clement of Alexandria, Cyprian, Athanasius, Augustine, and others) and their contributions in thought and practice to the formation of the Nicene Creed. Though these church fathers lived long ago, the Christian community readily affirms their lasting importance. As the Mafa proverb teaches us, “Even when your father is old you can still stand in his shade.”]
