Nairobi, 13 March, 2022 / 11:30 pm (ACI Africa).
A member of the Vatican Theological Commission of the Synod has lauded the collaboration between the Jesuit Conference of African and Madagascar (JCAM) AND the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA), in driving conversations about the ongoing Synod on Synodality.
In a Thursday, March 10 interview with ACI Africa, Fr. Nicholaus Segeja M’hela noted that Jesuits in Africa and Madagascar had, specifically, taken the lead in creating avenues for engagement with the Synod on Synodality.
“I am totally impressed with what the Jesuits are doing. They have taken the lead and are bringing people from all over the continent together to engage in Synodal conversations,” Fr. Segeja said, and added, “I highly recommend their collaboration with AMECEA to other church organs that are engaged in the Synod on Synodality.”
The member of the Clergy of Tanzania’s Catholic Diocese of Mwanza who also serves at the Secretariat for the Synod of Bishops spoke to ACI Africa on the sidelines of a three-day Theologians colloquium that JCAM convened in Nairobi.
The colloquium that concluded Friday, March 11, brought together theologians from across Africa who explored the element of listening to the Synod on Synodality process from an African perspective.
