"For an authentic realisation of the universality of the Church, the Church needs its African harmonics. The task is not always simple; we must be conscious of our own lacks and weaknesses doubled by the external pressures and doubts. We are invited to reconquer our creative imagination and trust in ourselves in view of a creative action within the faithfulness of Jesus Christ and in communion with he who presides the universal "Agape"."
