Founding of Africa University
Bishop Lawson served on the Site Selection Committee for A.U., helping to select the site at Old Mutare, Zimbabwe. In consultation with Dean (now Bishop) David K. Yemba, he wrote the Mission Statement for the University's Faculty (School) of Theology. "He probably lived and breathed Africa University for a while," said James Salley, the University's Associate Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement, upon Bishop Lawson's death. "He will be greatly missed by all of us. He was a good friend of Africa University."
