Abstract
[Thank you, Rector, for your extremely kind and generous introduction. It is always a joy to be at the Akrofi-Christaller Institute and to share in its ministry of the furtherance of Christian Scholarship. The strange times in which we are currently living have caused a longer physical absence from the Institute for my wife and myself, a loss which we both felt deeply, though we have had some consolation in occasions like the present which enable us to connect and interact in what might be called disembodied form. We have been particularly heartened by the emergence of the Center for the Study of Early African Christianity as the latest of the Institute’s nuclei for research, and we look forward to it under the able leadership of [its director] Dr. Rudolf [K.] Gaisie, becoming a force of creative activity.]
