SECAM: Towards an African Synodal Document.
Pope.
Fr. Rafael Simbine Junior, SECAM Secretary General, has said that the Accra gathering in Ghana brought together 25 participants from across the African continent and its Islands.
The African Synodal Document
“The working session was facilitated by Fr Giacomo Costa SJ, a consulter of the General Secretariat of the Synod at the Vatican and supported by Dr Philomena Mwaura. The participants were made up of lay persons (adults and young people), consecrated persons (men and women), priests and bishops from English, French and Portuguese-speaking countries engaged in spiritual conversations,” said Fr. Rafael.
According to Fr Rafael, the meeting also came up with a strategy that would lead to the drafting of an ‘African Synodal Document.’
Conversations at local Bishops' Conferences
The three days encounter would now be replicated in the various local Bishops Conferences and views collated for eventual consolidation at a continental level.
The second continental working session under SECAM is scheduled for January 2023 in Nairobi, Kenya.
