    (Tangaza University College, 2014-03) Healey, Joseph
    Pope Francis is very popular in Africa and his Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation, The Joy of the Gospelhas received an enthusiastic response. The Paulines Publication Africa (Daughters of St. Paul) based inNairobi published the first African English Edition in November, 2013 with a delightful cover photo of the pope embracing a little African girl. The book is No. 24 in “The Pope Speaks Series.” The book is very popular and now is in it s Fourth Reprint with a total of 11,000 copies already printed. The exhortation has been translated into French, Swahili and other African languages. Catholic in the Local Churches in Eastern Africa immediately began using the book in private and public prayer, homilies, talks, recollection days, retreats, workshops, seminars and classes in the constituent colleges connected to the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA). The pope‟s pastoral, practical, down to earth style appeals to many people. The book has been very helpful and inspiring to members of the 120,000 Small Christian Communities (SCCs) 1 in the AMECEA 2 Region.
