Dike’s Research title is Remembering the Church: Historical Memory, Ecclesial Identity, and Christian Witness in Canada and Nigeria. This project examines how historical memory shape ecclesial identity and Christian witness in Canada and Nigeria. Through comparative historical-theological analysis, it investigates how churches preserve and interpret their past, sustain denominational identities, and respond to contemporary social and cultural challenges. The study aims to develop an original conceptual framework linking historical memory, ecclesial identity, and Christian engagement in religiously and culturally plural societies, contributing to scholarship in Church History and Historical Theology.
