"What emerges is the urgent need to help and stimulate the faithful of Christ in the Congo to read the Word of God, to meditate on it, to pray it inasmuch as it can "recreate" African man who still carries within the consequences of the past. This requires easier access to the Biblical text by means of translations. This is one of the pastoral emergencies of our Church."
