"Inculturation should have a sound theological and ethnological basis, beyond mere folklore. Marriage and family life are clearly an area of concern in this respect. We must look at African culture as it is today, an amalgam of tradition and modernity. The rapidly changing role of women shows that African society is not static, but dynamic and full of contradiction. A truly incultured faith will answer the need of our people for healing which they seek so often."
