It was at this dinner that Mburu was invited to deliver the keynote address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mburu challenged fellow scholars to consider how partnering together in the work of scholarship can bring unity among believers of all ethnicities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Church, as it stands, is like a half-finished song &#8212; one beautiful to listen to but has an unfinished quality that leaves one yearning for more,&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You might ask, &#8216;Why, in a discussion about scholarship, would I focus on the Church?&#8217; It&#8217;s because I believe, ultimately, our scholarship exists to serve the Church,&#8221; said Mburu. &#8220;That&#8217;s why partnership is so crucial.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth is the African regional coordinator for Langham Literature, a member of the Africa Bible Commentary Board and commissioning editor for Langham Publishing, as well as the author of African Hermeneutics.
