Cohort: a band of people with a common interest. Cohorts are groups which meet regularly (ish) to talk about issues those in the emerging conversation would identify with. There are 3 (irrefutable, immutable) doctrines:
- good food
- good wine (and/or coffee!)
- good conversation.
If you're able to subscribe to these doctrines - you're in! 2 cohorts will be getting under way over the next month (or so):
Joburg: http://www.emergentafrica.com/joburg
Pretoria: http://www.emergentafrica.com/pretoria
To join a cohort, visit one of the links above then "Subscribe" on the following page. I'll convene the Joburg one, probably over a meal somewhere, and Arthur will be doing something similar in Pretoria. We'll look to probably meet monthly and look at a book or hear someone's story, or spend a day with a good thinker/theologian.
If you're elsewhere in the country, why not start your own cohort? Let me know you're interested and I'll set up a group on the site for you.

Hi. Is there anyone writing about emerging church theology from Africa outside of South Africa?
Kenzo
Check out Kenzo Mabiala - he's a theologian from the Congo who's now lecturing in Canada. He was most helpful at the Amahoro gathering earlier this year in Uganda. And keep in mind that although part of the emerging conversation is about theology, there will probably never be "a theology of the emerging church." Kenzo writes a lot about post-colonial church, which is what the old colonies of the world (especially Africa) are emerging from.

Hi Roger,
Greetings from SECUNDA (yes, we are on the map! - I think). Would love to connect with others from Mpumalanga on this journey!
