Nairobi, 23 February, 2024 / 9:55 pm (ACI Africa).
Disunity among followers of Christ is counterproductive to the mission of witnessing the Gospel message and the evangelization ministry, Robert Cardinal Sarah has said.
The Prefect emeritus of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, who was delivering his keynote address at the 2024 Theological Symposium that the School of Theology of Kenya-based Tangaza University College (TUC) organized warned that divisions among Christians exposes them to “exploitation”.
“If we are not one, if we are divided, then our witness to Christ is divided and the world will not believe in the Gospel,” Cardinal Sarah said on Thursday, February 22, the first day of the two-day event that the Department of Dogmatic Theology at TUC’s School of Theology (SOT) organized.

Cardinal Sarah urged followers of Jesus Christ in Africa to prioritize their adherence to the Gospel message, allowing their Christian faith principles trump all other identities, including tribe, nationality, and race, among other affiliations.
