"The fundamental mission of the Church is the evangelisation of the Gospel-values where they do not exist or where they exist and need strengthening. They ought to be proclaimed not just to people but also to structures, situations and contexts. Church leadership in Africa must especially enter more deeply into the reality of the life of the oppressed. The life-style and bearing of Church leaders ought to manifest a clear option for them."
