General Secretary,
Pan African Conference of Churches, Kenya
The presence of the All Africa Conference of Churches at this Synod of Bishops is a step forward in our ecumenical journey. It may also mark the beginning of a new co-operation among our Churches at a time Africa is shaken by internal and external forces. The widespread misery caused by natural and man-made disasters, undoubtedly stands in contradiction with the abundant life we find in Christ (Jn. 10,10). As we embrace the third millennium, there is need for Christians in Africa to stand together, own the Gospel, and witness to Him who died and rose to give us eternal life (Jn. 3,16).
