Toward a Synodal Church in Africa

Echoes from an African Christian Palaver
  • By Josee Ngalula, Nicholaus Segeja, Ikenna U. Okafor
$38.29
($50.00)
Product Description

This compendium of original essays by leading Catholic African scholars explores the meaning of synodality for the African church, with reference to the established method of African theology: "palaver," or talking--and listening--together.

Opening with messages by Pope Francis and Cardinal Mario Grech, secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, the contributions offer explications of vital themes such as "Proclaiming the Word of God to Young People," migration, theology of the people, "Ubuntu," a postcolonial critique of clericalism, the social dimension of synodality, the way of the laity, contested moral issues, the role of basic ecclesial communities, and the missionary role of communications.
