Abstract
This article sets out to discuss, from an African feminist theological
perspective, the Accra confession: Covenanting for justice in the
economy and the earth (hereafter the Accra Confession). It uses
descriptive analyses to understand the role and implications of the
confession for ecological, gender and economic justice. The first
part of the essay briefly describes the history behind the
confession. The second part gives a detailed overview of the
contents, scope and thematic issues addressed by the confession.
The third interprets the confession and analyses its implications for
the church and society. The fourth part explores feminist and
women’s responses and or critiques of the Accra confession, thus
outlining its relevance for feminist theologies and ethics, and their
conceptions of economic, ecological and gender justice.
