Le premier synode africain célèbre ses 20 ans (1994-2014) : bilan et perspectives

AUTEUR : JEAN MARIE KUSIELE DABIRE

ABSTRACT

This article recalls the steps of the special Assemblee of the Synod of Bishops for Africa, celebrated in April 1994 in Ro-me. It is the voice of a theologian who does not intend to provide a scientific review of the event and its aftermath. He dwells on the preparatory phase of the event, and then moves to the following ones that led to the final document: Ecclesia in Africa, the post-synodal apostolic exhortation. The author’s voice becomes local when he shares the experience of his ho-me diocesis: Diébougou.
