Write for us

We publish essays, analysis, Sabbath School commentary and replies by Adventists in Africa and the diaspora.

What we look for

  • A clear argument in one of our streams: African theology, church history, current issues, or church and society.
  • Or a Sabbath School commentary: a short reading of the week’s lesson from African experience, with questions for a class.
  • Essays of 1,000 to 2,000 words, written for a thoughtful general reader.
  • Analysis that offers a way forward as well as naming the problem.

Good to know

  • Pen names. If writing under your own name would put your work at risk, tell us. The editors will know who you are; readers need not.
  • Republishing. We can republish a piece of yours that first appeared elsewhere, with credit to the original publisher.
  • Languages. Write in English, French or Portuguese. Readers can translate any page with their browser.
