"The Christian, conscious of his mission, translates his faith into his life. Faith does not impoverish and does not shrink culture, but on the contrary is the radiating leaven. Like the rainbow radiates all its colours, the Church in Africa is resplendent with the beauty of the Gospel progressively inculturated in all of its cultures and already fruitful bearers of holiness for the entire Church and the whole world."
