Extractions: THE SITUATION OF THE CHURCH IN AFRICA AND MADAGASCAR (Some Aspects and Observations) BY CARDINAL JOZEF TOMKO (Vatican City INTRODUCTION sym-pathy which soon becomes , because Africa makes one love it! All that would not be enough, but it could be useful. So then, taking my inspiration from the motto of Pope John XXIII « oboedientia et pax », I offer you my contribution with an important subtitle: « Some aspects and observations ». In such a spirit I offer it to you, the Pastors of the Church in Africa and Madagascar, who have firsthand experience of this situation in your particular Churches, to the heads of the Roman dicasteries, and to all those present. THE AFRICAN WORLD TODAY As our introduction and starting point today, let us try for a moment to observe the « Sitz im Leben », and thus first situate the Church of the African Continent within the African world and then briefly look at this world and this Church in the context of the whole world and the universal Church. a global village ». Africa (and not only Africa) risks losing much of its culture and even its identity. Instead, for several years the Pope has been calling the worlds attention to another important polarity, namely, the one between the North and South (recall, for example, the Encyclical « Sollicitudo Rei Socialis » [19871, n. 14, and other addresses!). Even the choice of Rome as the site of the Synod for Africa, based on the suggestion of your wise «

Extractions: Capacity-building Regional WIMSA General Assembly The General Assembly (GA) is convened each year to bring together the representatives of all WIMSA member organisations. Thus all San groups in southern Africa are represented there, except for those which WIMSA has not yet made contact with for one reason or another, as in the case of the San in Angola where the war has prevented contact being made. The GA elects/reconfirms WIMSA's Board of Trustees, and takes decisions on issues that the board refers to it for decision-taking. The last GA was convened at the Kagisong Centre in Mogoditshane, Gaborone, Botswana, from 31 October to 4 November 2000. A total of 48 delegates from 27 organisations/communities were present. These were the main agenda items: Formal opening Community reports by country San NGO reports Service provider/support organisation reports Closing ceremony This section will note only the main points made under each agenda item and the decisions taken. In some cases it will only note that a report was presented or an issue raised for discussion. The questions, responses and comments made after each report will not be noted here except in the case of certain crucial issues.

Extractions: Alexandra Fuller writes well. Her story of growing up in Africa is an unusual one, and would survive by being character-driven as well as landscape-driven, but due to her well-thought out metaphors and her honest portrayal through the eyes of the child and adolescent that she was, the story flourishes. Her book is despairing, encouraging, cynical, innocent, as varied and buzzing with life as its tropical setting. It was a rough life, with tropical diseases and snakes and political upheaval. Likes so many British colonials, her parents were heavy smokers, drinkers, and partiers. Her father was ever-optimistic: If things didn't work out, they would move on. Her mother, an animal lover, was good to the natives (she ran a weekly medical clinic out of her kitchen back door) but hotly resented the natives' victory over British rule when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. Her mother bore five children but lost three to disease and accidents, and became mentally unstable for a time.

Extractions: THE JAKAB ANTAL CATHOLIC CENTRE After the political changes in Romania in 1989, the Catholic Church could, at last, emerge from obscurity. In the archdiocese of Alba Julia it was decided straight away to create a house of studies, a centre for Catholic culture. Work began in 1991, with an investment of about 2.7 million deutsche marks and with support from more than 20 organisations, not to mention groups and private individuals. The centre was opened on the 17 th of September 1996, and it bears the name of the dioceses former bishop, Antal Jakab, who died some years ago. The centres activities bear witness to a constant concern for the links between faith and culture, which are developed in a creative dialogue which aims to bring personal faith to maturity. It is available for all types of conferences, conventions, seminars and meetings, which are by no means always religious, and no distinctions are made on the basis of the religion or nationality of those organising such events, as long as they respect the nature of the centre. The centre has room for 120 people to stay overnight, and can accommodate several groups at the same time, since the conference hall can hold 200 people, and there are 5 seminar rooms and another 5 meeting rooms. In 1997 the centre was host to 115 events, of which 45 had a religious theme. In 1998 there were 96 meetings, of which 31 were religious. 1999 looks even busier, with a much richer and more diversified programme. Each year more than 5000 people have been involved in the centres activities.

Carleton College: Art Gallery: Burkina Faso Faso centuries ago, they subjugated indigenous populations fiercely independent, politicallydecentralized peoples to the including the Bwa, bobo, Kassena, Lela http://www.carleton.edu/campus/gallery/exhibitions/2002/burkinaFaso/
Extractions: April 3 - May 8, 2002 The art works gathered here come from Burkina Faso, the West African nation formerly known as Upper Volta. In 1984, former President Thomas Sankara (1949-1987) renamed the country Burkina Faso, drawing together words from the languages of the country's major populations, the Mossi and the Dyula. Roughly translated, Burkina Faso means "the land of upright people." Located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, with national boundaries drawn by the French during the colonial era, many diverse peoples live in this dry, landlocked country, independent since 1960. Burkina Faso's population is made up of more than sixty different ethnic groups. The country's complex cultural diversity is reflected in this exhibition which includes works of art by Bwa, Bobo, Kassena, Lela, Lobi, Mossi, Nuna, Nunama, Toussian, Turka, and Winiama artists. While Burkina Faso is often described as one of the most economically impoverished countries in the world, with an average annual per capita income of between two and three hundred dollars, in terms of cultural traditions, it is one of the richest places on earth. The peoples of Burkina Faso create a wide range of objects, diverse in form, function, size and scale, and employing many different materials and technologies. Within their original contexts, art works are valued not only for their aesthetic qualities, but also for their functional efficacy. In Burkina Faso, art is not just something to look at, but also serves life-sustaining purposes, vital to the well-being of individuals and the larger society.
