Recreating Eden: A Mandate for the African Christian

In many ways, as Africans, we hold up an image of Western nations as being close to heaven. Therefore, we fall into the trap of copying a world system rife with as much imperfections as can be found in any system built by man. However, the mandate on every African Christian is to work towards a recreation of the Garden of Eden in his community. With due respect for the achievements of the United States and other Western nations, no place in this world today is anything close to the Garden of Eden.
