- Nora K. Nonterah, “Christian Humanism, North and South: Piloting an intercultural model of cooperation for the Common Good.” This an intercultural study is a cooperation between the Hekima University College in Nairobi and the Faculty of Catholic Theology of the University of Bonn. It aims to address the contextual challenges that arise from different cultural expressions of Christianity which do not only affect the church and her work in different parts of the world, but also theologians in different countries (GS 44). There needs to be the awareness that every theological position is embedded into a specific cultural background which influences the position. The project will focus on “marginalised people” as communicated by Pope Francis. It seeks to do an intercultural and interdisciplinary study of issues that intersect between Africa and the Europe.
