Cameroon archbishop says synodal approach will grow Church in Africa

BUEA, Cameroon – Archbishop Andrew Nkea Fuanya of Bamenda in Cameroon says the synodal approach will not only grow the Church in Africa, it will also help African governments in their development efforts.

The Cameroon archbishop was speaking on the sidelines of the 48th Annual Seminar of members of the Episcopal Conference of Cameroon organised under the theme “Living Synodality in our Local Church”.

Nkea told reporters that listening and dialogue are the big aspects of synodality, and so “if we help each other at the local level to listen to each other, it will force itself into the higher level. Authorities will listen to their subjects”.
