The Church in Africa: A force for advocacy and democratisation, Examples from Zambia, the Republic of Congo and Nigeria by SECAM, September 2010
The Church in Africa is a strong advocate for social justice, peace and democratisation on the continent. SECAM, which stands for the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar, brings together the African Church’s leadership from 37 countries and 9 regions on the continent. SECAM undertakes advocacy at various levels: national, continental and international where it links up with the CIDSE, Caritas and ecumenical alliances to influence northern policies that have an impact on the lives and livelihoods of ordinary Africans. This leaflet seeks to illustrate the important role played by the African Church through examples from Zambia, the Republic of Congo and Nigeria.
