Come now, and let’s reason together
African leaders gathered in Rwanda's capital city of Kigali for this year's African Biblical Leadership Initiative conference (ABLI) from 23-25 October.
ABLI is a continent-wide programme aimed at bringing political, civil and church leaders together to engage with the Bible in the context of Africa's challenges and opportunities.
This year's theme was 'From Trauma to Triumph', reflecting Rwanda's recovery from the tragic 1994 Genocide to becoming a model of resilient leadership and reconciliation.
The conference heard from senior political and church leaders bringing biblical wisdom to bear on social, political and spiritual issues.
