The 1994 and 2009 African bishop synods in Rome reflected on the vocation of the African Church within and towards the Universal Church. Fr. Michael Niba will discuss the events of these synods and how they inspired not only the papal exhortations Ecclesia in Africa (1995) and Africae Munus (2011), but also the ongoing efforts of forming and educating the Church in Cameroon today. Fr. Niba is Vice Chancellor and incoming Dean of the Humanities Faculty at the Catholic University in Cameroon, and Research Scholar in the School of Philosophy and the McLean Center at the Catholic University of America as well as at the Center for Applied Research (CARA) at Georgetown University.
All are invited to attend this very special St. Anselm Institute event.
