The Passionists
in Africa, page

African Passionists
are young, although some are entering now on middle age. They can be
a resource for pastoral endeavors of all kinds. The challenge is to
provide them with ongoing formation and to help them relate to other
entities of the Congregation.
For example, Africans
can bring gifts to the dialogue that is taking place now throughout
the world on the environment and creation spirituality. African Passionists
have resources to dedicate to these areas, because they have a tradition
of respect for the forces of nature and the interplay of the divine
in human societies. They could enrich the theological development that
has begun in the western world.
As the number of
native Passionists grows in Africa we can expect to meet new forms of
Passionist prayer, worship, living, working, and leading, that inevitably
will arise from African soil.
