The Holy Father comes as a pilgrim of peace and reconciliation to all of Africa and in particular in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan, two countries that have been suffering every kind of violence, with thousands of displaced people. With Pope Francis, Africa will dedicate almost one week of prayer for peace and reconciliation.
This apostolic journey is very unique since this is also the first Papal Visit to the world’s newest country, South Sudan. It is also unique for another reason: it is the first time that a Pope visits a country together with the Archbishop of Canterbury and Moderator of the Church of Scotland.
South Sudan will witness the visit of Pope Francis, the Archbishop Justin Welby and Rt. Rev. Dr. Iain Greenshields, who together will hold anEcumenical Celebration for peace, reconciliation, social justice and interfaith dialogue in South Sudan.
We pray for the success of this special apostolic visit.

On the first day of this session, the participants who came from all the regions that comprise SECAM took some time to share their experiences of the work done at home following the first working session,which took place from 6th to 9th December in Accra (Ghana).Some difficulties were noted especially in understanding the synod process and how to use the method of spiritual conversation. However, as time passes especially after this second session, some improvements are visible.
One of the important moments of this Session has been the reflection anew on the Document for the Continental Stage (DCS) which was sent to the Universal Church by the General Secretariat of the Synod in October 2022. In that document, the General Secretariat calls the Church to engage with an open mind in a process of prayerful listening and dialogue hence spiritual discernment as they interact with the issues raised in the DCS. This would allow the participants to deepen their knowledge of this valuable instrument of this continental Synodal journey.
The presentation of the draft of the African Synod Document was another no less important moment of this meeting here in Nairobi. The new elements gathered from the reports of the work done at home and the reflection on the Document of the Continental Stage enriched this draft, which is still work in progress.
Another great moment of this meeting was a presentation, discussion and approval of the programme of the Continental Synodal Plenary Assembly which will take place during the first week of March 2023, in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). Before the discussion of the programme, participants wanted to be sure that the delegates to the African Plenary Assembly represent all of Africa, the Islands and all the African realities.

Christmas speaks God’s word to our broken, suffering world and his language is love. That fact will never change. The Bible teaches: “At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets: but in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages” (Heb. 1:1-2). Emmanuel, God with us, is the consequence of God’s love.
Christmas says: Do more for families
