"It would be a tragedy if in our deliberations we gave the impressions that the modem section of our communities is not of concern to us. This pain and suffering calls for the defence of the dignity of the African people. It makes it imperative that the Church in Africa continue to place at the heart of its ministry matters of justice. This justice must embrace both the way in which we treat each other as Africans and the manner of dealings of others who interact with us."
