Nagel Institute, Calvin University with the support of Templeton Religion Trust is sponsoring twelve research projects across Africa under the theme: “Engaging African Realities: Integrating Social Science within African Theology.”  Their aim is to support African theologians to engage in fresh social-scientific integrated approaches with the goal of producing creative and original projects in grounded theology. One of the two projects in Kenya is hosted by the University of Nairobi under the leadership of Dr. Telesia Musili from the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. The team comprises seven researchers drawn from different public and private universities who are conducting a research entitled: “African Value of Communality and Religious Experiences in the Virtual Space amidst COVID-19 Pandemic: A Comparative Study of Three Selected Churches in Kenya.” The Project seeks, among other objectives, to examine comparatively how the adoption of virtual spaces intersects with African value of communality and religious experiences among the three selected churches.
