Newsletter of the Southern Africa Province November 2012, No 13 Editorial 1 Newsletter of the Southern Africa Province November 2012, No 13 Inside St. Lawrence church: painting of the risen Christ made by Michael Kapalamula from Malawi who was trained by Claude Boucher Editorial Today’s edition of the Motomoto Echo comes with news, news, and more news! Just as the month of November dawns with the Solemnity of All Saints, a feast to remember and to live according to our Christian calling, so does this particular November edition come with news to remember and to live out our mission meaningfully. We remember our beloved confreres and family who shared with us life and vocation. Remembering them brings out the importance of the introduction of Small Christian Communities (Kalilombe), the beginnings of Christianity in Mzuzu and Lilongwe dioceses (Joseph and Georges-Albert); the birth of Catholicism in Bembaland through Motomoto himself, Joseph Dupont. While such memories have life in themselves, this edition of our newsletter also emphasizes our current experience in ministry; as we open new parishes; graduate in academic studies; meet challenges in today’s African parishes; celebrate initial formation of future missionaries; and indeed, in the honor granted to Lalonda for works of mercy in Zambia. In doing so this issue radiates an active life going on in the Province and beyond. The Universal Church has invited us to deepen this life through the celebration of the Year of Faith as our “opportunity to usher the whole Church into a time of particular reflection and rediscovery of the faith.” Alongside this universal celebration is also the challenge th posed to us by the 125 Anniversary of the Antislavery Campaign of Cardinal Charles Lavigerie. As we read through this newsletter let us all get in touch with that personal call to remember our past but also to live life positively while denouncing today’s evils. I end by urging all the confreres in the sectors of our province to send in information about your missionary activities. It is through your shared activities that we will continue to remember and live out our faith stories with confidence and trust. Happy reading to you all and God bless. Christopher Chileshe Solemnity of All Saints - 2012 2 New Parish in Lusaka Come to have life abundantly It is under this motto that the new Parish of St. Lawrence opened the celebration of its dedication on the 16th September 2012.

He will be remembered for implementing the concept of Small Christian Communities called Miphakati. This was initiated by his book written in 1973 entitled «Christ’s Church in Lilongwe – Today and Tomorrow» (Mpingo wa Khristu: Lero ndi Kutsogolo). The basic concept calls for self- ministry, self-propagation of the Word of God and self-reliance of self- finance. This book coincided with the first Mini Synod of the diocese of Lilongwe involving the entire Catholic Church within the diocese. The resolutions were published in a book entitled «Mpingo Ndife Tonse», meaning «We are the Church». th The funeral took place at Likuni Parish, Lilongwe, on Friday the 28 September.

The main mast of the boat is a cross from which sails are displayed in the form of dynamic signs which compose the trigram of Christ (HIS). The background to the sails is a sun which, associated with the trigram, refers also to the Eucharist. Website: www.annusfidei.va Opening the Door of Faith October 11th marks the beginning of a specially designated Year of Faith for the Church. The year is dedicated to reminding us that our journey of faith is an ongoing encounter with the risen Christ. As such, the period will offer a renewed focus on the foundations of Church teaching. Pope Benedict XVI announced the event in a letter titled Porta fidei, or “door of faith”, which explains that faith allows us to cross the threshold into a life of communion with God. The opening date coincides with both the 50th anniversary of the start of Vatican II and the 20th anniversary of the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Each plays a vital role in our ability to interpret Church teaching accurately and productively. Both will figure prominently throughout the year. The apostolic letter announcing the year states that the goal of the period is to arouse believers’ desire to fully profess our faith with renewed conviction, confidence and hope, while also intensifying an understanding of liturgy as celebration. Various ways are suggested to accomplish this, from conferences and study days on the Catechism through to pilgrimages to Rome and the Holy Land. Modern technology is called upon as a way to increase exposure to both the Catechism and the documents of Vatican II. Pope Benedict sees the year as an opportunity to “usher the whole Church into a time of particular reflection and rediscovery of the faith.” Our Condolences By Catherine Mulroney, Living with Christ, October 2012, page 180 Dear Confreres, I have just received the sad news that the mother of Philippe Docq passed away this afternoon at 2pm. Let us pray for him, the whole family and especially his mother. May she rest in peace. Christopher Chileshe, Provincial of SAP, October 12. Dear confreres, It is only today that we learned of the death of Mr Paul Ocung, the father of our confrere George Okwii. Mr Paul Ocung has been ill for some time and it's only last week that we heard that he was in a coma. Burial will be tomorrow in his home in Teso District, Soroti Diocese. Fr. George Okwii at present is attending the Bible Session in Jerusalem and right now incidentally George is with the group in Galilee. We have not yet been in contact with George himself, but asked our confreres in St. Anne to forward the sad news to him. I expressed our condolences to the family of the deceased and assured them of our prayer. May his soul rest in eternal peace! Rudi Lehnertz, M.Afr, Provincial of Uganda, October 17. 5 Remembering our confreres Josef Dreselhaus Dear Friends, This afternoon (23/10/2012) Josef Dreselhaus died peacefully in a nearby home for elderly people.

  • The White Fathers' Archive in Zambia
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Kent Academic Repository THE WHITE FATHERS’ ARCHIVE IN ZAMBIA 1 Marja Hinfelaar and Giacomo Macola I The archive of the Generalate of the White Fathers (WF) in Rome is a well-known “treasure trove for Africanists of all disciplines.” 2 Owing partly to the availability of a series of published catalogues and guides, 3 it attracts a steady flow of external researchers and figures prominently in the bibliographies of numerous recent works on sub-Saharan African history. What many Africanists might not be aware of, however, is the existence of regional WF’s archives, the holdings of which do not necessarily replicate – and in fact often complement – those of the central Roman deposit. It is to this latter, by and large neglected, category that the archive of the WF’s headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia (WFA- Z), belongs. In the summer of 2001, Fr. Hugo Hinfelaar – long-standing missionary in 1 Marja Hinfelaar is indebted to CMC/AMA, in The Netherlands, for supporting her research on the history of the Catholic church in Zambia.

  • Encounters Between Jesuit and Protestant Missionaries in Their Approaches to Evangelization in Zambia
    chapter 4 Encounters between Jesuit and Protestant Missionaries in their Approaches to Evangelization in Zambia Choobe Maambo, s.j. Africa’s reception of Christianity and the pace at which the faith permeated the continent were incredibly slow. Although the north, especially Ethiopia and Egypt, is believed to have come under Christian influence as early as the first century, it was not until the fourth century that Christianity became more widespread in north Africa under the influence of the patristic fathers. From the time of the African church fathers up until the fifteenth century, there was no trace of the Christian church south of the Sahara. According to William Lane, s.j.: It was not until the end of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that Christianity began to spread to the more southerly areas of Africa. The Portuguese, in their search for a sea route to India, set up bases along the East and West African coasts. Since Portugal was a Christian country, mis- sionaries followed in the wake of the traders with the aim of spreading the Gospel and setting up the Church along the African coasts.1 Prince Henry the Navigator (1394–1460) of Portugal was the man behind these expeditions, in which priests “served as chaplains to the new trading settle- ments and as missionaries to neighboring African people.”2 Hence, at the close of the sixteenth century, Christian missionary work had increased significantly south of the Sahara. In Central Africa, and more specifically in the Kingdom of Kongo, the Gospel was preached to the king and his royal family as early as 1484.

  • The Mission of the Catholic Church Through Education in Zambian Church History: a Narrative of James Spaita in the Public Sphere, 1960–2014
    Article “To Serve and not to be Served”: The Mission of the Catholic Church through Education in Zambian Church History: A Narrative of James Spaita in the Public Sphere, 1960–2014 Nelly Mwale https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4556-9239 University of Zambia [email protected] Abstract This article revisits Zambian church history in order to show the interconnectedness of the mission of the Catholic Church through education and individual narratives of the clergy in the public sphere. This is done through the example of James Spaita. Informed by an interpretative phenomenological study that drew on interviews and content analysis, and in conversation with the Catholic Social Teachings (CST), the article advances that the contributions of James Spaita to church history were largely through education, advocacy and social justice—as shaped by his positionality as an indigenous priest, educator and church leader, and therefore a product of the Catholic Church’s context. Spaita’s narrative also signifies the growing public role and the mission of the Catholic Church in post-independence Zambia, as underpinned by social teachings of the Catholic Church. While discourses of Catholic Church history in Zambia were preoccupied with historicising missionary work and Catholic education (as part of the mission of the church) at the structural level, the article argues that the mission of the Catholic Church through education was also largely shaped by trajectories of the clergy in postcolonial and modern times.

  • But Why 1890 to 1914? 1890 Was the Year When Cecil Rhodes Managed
    But why 1890 to 1914? 1890 was the year when Cecil Rhodes managed at last to consolidate his empire north of the Zambezi. In 1914, though the lights did not go out all over Africa, they were sufficiently dimmed by war and the subsequent economic depression to halt die initial impetus of development in Rhodesia. These twenty-four years were surely the most essential in Zambia’s progress into the modern world. The dialectical historian of Africa might ascribe this progress simply to copper; another might say that it was due to the northward thrust of the railway; or to the swift advance of tropical medicine, combating the tsetse and mosquito; yet another to the establishment of sound adminstration founded on missionary endeavour. The more discerning might ascribe it to the happy coincidence of all these factors, galvanised by the energy of Rhodes, that “brooding spirit”, as Kipling called him; for northern Rhodesia fell astride die highway of his dream. Let us look at Rhodes’s incursion north of die Zambezi and then briefly at some of these main forces, and, where possible, interrelate them. In 1890 his empire ended on the shores of the great river barrier of the Zambezi. North-west are the low swampy plains of Barotseland and the Kafue basin, and to the north-east the plateau that extends down through east Africa and continues on to Natal. Like the traders and explorers, including Livingstone himself, the earliest missionaries entered northern Rhodesia from Bechuanaland or Lobengula’s country, where, by the Rudd Concession of 1888, Rhodes had forced the Chief to grant him the full mineral rights of his kingdom.

While these rituals have value and fill key functions in society, they are at the same time troublesome. The lack of proper medical equipment and training in performing actual circumcision, as well as accompanying teachings which encourage sexual promiscuity, makes these ceremonies physically, spiritually, and morally dangerous. The AIDS epidemic in Malawi can also be partly traced to these rituals.

    Society of Missionaries of Africa - History Series Nº 14 Diary of Father Voillard’s journey in central Africa to visit the Missions Edited by Fr. François Richard Translated by Fr. Aylward Shorter Rome 2014 Fr. Paul Voillard, Superior General from 1922 to 1936. Tip.: Instituto Salesiano Pie XI,Via Umbertide, 11, 00180 Roma Tel. 06.78.27.819 - E-mail: [email protected] Finito di stampare: Dicembre 2014 2 Foreword Paul Voillard was born in the Upper Saône region in 1860. He ente - red the major seminary of Besançon in 1878 and was ordained priest there in 1882, at the age of 22. The following year he entered the novi - tiate at Maison Carrée. He was appointed first of all to teach in our schools in Algeria and Tunisia. After this he was made professor of philosophy at the Scholasticate of Carthage. In 1888 he was appointed Provincial of Tunisia. In 1889 he became a member of the General Council (only five years after his missionary oath), and he kept this office until 1936! The following year, Cardinal Lavigerie made him “Superior of the White Sisters” (sic). From 1889 to 1896 he was novi - ce master, a role that did not prevent him at the same time acting as Provincial of Kabylia from 1891 to 1894. In 1920 he became Mgr. Livinhac’s Vicar General, which entailed succeeding him as Superior General when the latter died in 1922. He was re-elected Superior General by the Chapter of 1926. He was therefore a man who knew the Society well, but who had not the slightest personal acquaintance with sub-Saharan Africa.
