CIEC - IV ENCUENTRO DE PASTORAL EDUCATIVA
venerdì 20 luglio 2018
GHANA. Fifth Meeting on “Challenges for the Youth in Africa”.
The
challenges of charismatic Pentecostal movements, Youth and family life in
Africa in reference to Pope Francis’ Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, Youth
unemployment and role of the church as well as the experiences and challenges
of married couples in contemporary Africa formed the basis of deliberations at
the fifth annual meeting of Network Pastoral Africa.
The
meeting whose theme was Challenges for the Youth in Africa took
place at the Tamale Institute of Cross-Cultural Studies (TICCS) in Tamale, Ghana,
from 2 to 5 February 2018 and was attended by about 30 participants among them
Director of AMECEA Pastoral Institute (API) Gaba, Rev. Dr. Joseph Ekomwa, the
Coordinator of Gaba Publications Rev. Fr. Jordan Nyenyembe and Coordinator of
AMECEA Pastoral Department Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Chimombo.
Over
the past five years the Catholic Church in Africa established a forum for Networking
between Pastoral Institutes with an aim to provide an African context for
reflection on pastoral theology and a forum for an international African
exchange of pastoral ministry. At this fora, representatives of leading
pastoral institutes share their experiences to strengthen and inspire one
another.
It
was clear from the deliberations, that the lay faithful often times experience
a spiritual void which the church does not respond to adequately. As such,
participants committed themselves to invest in adequate catechesis of the laity
with special attention to the youth. This will form a good ground for the
upcoming “Synod of Bishops on the Young people, the Faith and Vocational
Discernment,” scheduled for October this year in Rome.
The
workshop was organized by Missio - Pontifical Mission Society Aachen (Missio
Aachen) under the leadership of Dr Stefan Voges in collaboration with Fr. Joshua
Gariba (SVD) brought together participants from Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique,
Zambia;
Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Zambia, Mali, South
Africa, Missio Aachen –Germany
and Ghana, which was the host.
Last
year the Fourth Annual meeting of the Network Pastoral Africa took place in
Arusha, Tanzania while the Third Annual meeting took place at the AMECEA
Pastoral Institute Gaba, in Eldoret, Kenya. The two previous meetings were held
at Lumko, South Africa in 2013 and at the Centre for Social Concern and the
Kungoni Centre of Culture and Art in Malawi in 2014.
