Journey of Hope Towards a New Ecumenical Africa

At the eighth assembly of the World Council of Churches in Zimbabwe in 1998, the powerful political drama entitled 'A Journey of Hope' was the beginning of a pilgrimage of conversion, commitment, and above all accompaniment with Africa. The churches and their peoples agreed that the focus on Africa would be one of wholehearted support, including: an emphasis on transformation of Africa's social, political and economic systems in order to create a just society; a search for peace and reconciliation between people and communities; a fight to help contain and overcome the scourge of HIV/AIDS; an emphasis on good governance, ethical values and stewardship; and the rights of African children to hope for a bright future. This book is a story of people who have vowed never again to walk on tiptoe: people who will never again submit to humiliation.Otieno, Nicholas is the author of 'Journey of Hope Towards a New Ecumenical Africa', published 2006 under ISBN 9782825414668 and ISBN 2825414662.
