The International African Institute is organizing a seminar on the Impact of Christianity in Tropical Africa, to be held from Tuesday, April 6, to Friday, April 16, 1965, at the University of Ghana.

This will be the third in a second series of International African Seminars arranged with the aid of a grant from the Ford Foundation: it follows the completion of the first series of four seminars in the year 1959-61. These seminars are being devoted to research problems of significance for further social, economic and educational development in Africa. An important aim is to provide opportunities for research workers and other scholars holding posts in various parts of Africa to establish closer contact with each other and with their colleagues overseas, and to exchange views on problems and methods of research.

The Accra seminar will be held under the chairmanship of Professor C. G. Baëta, Head of the Department for the Study of Religions at the University of Ghana. Fifteen to twenty specialists from different parts of Africa and from overseas are being invited to participate. They are asked to contribute papers and to assist in preparing a study report on some aspect of the work of the seminar. It is also hoped to be able to admit a small number of observers to the meetings of the seminar. Travel and accommodation expenses cannot be provided for observers, but as far as possible accommodation will be secured for them.
