"Since the clergy will continue to play a key and central role in the evangelisation of Africa, it is imperative that clerics and future clerics be formed in the dynamics and strategies of the total and all-inclusive evangelisation. The programme of formation in the seminaries will have to be so restructured as to prepare the seminarians to grapple with the life situations and problems of Africa and her people. Thus the ministers of the Gospel emerging from these seminaries will be imbued with Christ-like compassion that will enable them to respond in a committed way to the problems besetting their people."
