Example of AFREG Follow-Up
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has prepared and distributed to churches across the country Bible study materials entitled "The Nigeria Christian Creed on Governance Study Guide and Teacher’s Guide". This material is a statement of what Christians believe should be their role in government. The study provides an opportunity for church members to reflect on what government is, what the roles are of those in government and those being governed. Also included are principles on how to identify, select, support and hold accountable those who rule. This great initiative is a follow-up to AFREG. The Nigerian Christian Creed on Governance is serving as a model for the rest of Africa, and ultimately for other regions of the world. The plan is to customize this material for other African countries.
Various national AFREG task-force groups have been meeting in Burundi, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia.
