To be a fruitful church, the Catholic Church in Africa must take seriously how its identity is shaped by the signs of the times that is a church-for-others in God's world. Consequently, the Church in Africa ought to help heal the enduring legacies and traumas of colonialism playing out in the continent. It ought to be a church in dialogue with other religious and secular traditions to help birth-forth abundant life for all in the continent. |
