Abstract:The East African Revival emerged as an important movement within African Protestantism in the late 1920s and 1930s. Revival brethren date its origin to the meeting in 1929 between Nsibambi and Dr Joe Church, the pioneer missionary at Gahini in eastern Ruanda. The Revival continues to influence the churches of East Africa to date. The series of essays in this book spring from a conference organized by the Henry Martyn Centre (Cambridge) in 2008 to mark the establishment of the Joe Church Archive.
