Item The Update (Preparing for Servant Leadership)(Tangaza University College, 2018-02) Tangaza University CollegeI wish to welcome you to the New Year 2018 Update series. We again embark on our academic and holistic development that prepares us for servant leadership. This is our niche as Tangaza and we need to guard and upscale it jealously. This is because great achievers can never be satisfied with current levels of performance, they are driven by possibilities and potential achievements. I appeal to all of us to keep the spirit of excellence aflame with positive engagements in the academics and personal developments. This January, we were privileged to have Rev Dr. Joseph Caramazza appointed the Deputy Vice Chancellor Designate for Administration and Finance. Fr Joseph brings a great impetus to our family from his work in pastoral, administration, and communication fronts. We welcome him and wish him well as he executes his mandate. We are also pleased to recognize the product of our scholarship through two book publications. Rev. Dr. Sahaya Selvam has published a book titled Empirical Research, while Fr Antonio Magnate has published one titled Missionary Spirituality. The two books are fresh from press and add up to our learning and formation inventories at Tangaza. We thank them and encourage others to come up with publications that make them visible at the scholarly platform. We also request the members of staff to enter into joint research and publication engagements in order to uplift their portfolio. The Commission for University Education has stringent procedures and criteria for pro- February 2018 Preparing for Servant Leadership motion of academic staff. This can be obtained from the Commission’s website. It will help in our pre-assessment before formal application for promotion. The requirements can also be obtained from the Human Resource Officer. Finally, we plead with you to keep advertising our programmes to prospective students at all levels. With even fewer of the 2017 KCSE cohort attaining the university entry level compared to other years, we need to upscale our visibility and many potential students’ appetite for our programmes. You have done a commendable job. We are also making use of our website and other social platforms to reach out to as many students and parents as possible. If you have any suggestions, we are happy to accommodate them. Tangaza belongs to all of us and its success is our success. I commend you to the care of our God together with your families and members of the Religious congregations. God bless you.Item Tangaza Update(A Great Success)(Tangaza University College, 2015-10) Tangaza University CollegeT he Conference on Consecrated Life, organized by the School of Theology of TUC and the Commission for the Clergy and Religious of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops in collaboration with the Association of Sisterhoods of Kenya and the Religious Superiors’ Conference of Kenya was a great success. The quality of the presentations was excellent and everybody was very happy. The conference, which was graced by the Vatican-based Prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, João Cardinal Bráz de Aviz, attracted well over 2000 participants from different religious congregations and societies of apostolic life all over Kenya and beyond. The three-day conference was organized in response to the call of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life for schools of higher learning staffed mainly by religious and affiliated to a pontifical institute to hold colloquia on issues pertaining to religious life during the Year of Consecrated Life. The events of the conference were in two parts. The first part which took place at Pope Paul VI Learning Resource Centre of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) from 23rd to 25th Sept comprised on inputs from selected speakers and discussions around the theme “Consecrated Life in Africa Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.” The topics for presentation by selected church leaders, followed by forums for discussion, included Living the Evangelical Counsels in October 2015 East Africa; Charismatic Maturity: A Persistent Challenge for Consecrated Life in Africa; Juridical Considerations in the Dismissal of Religious in the African Context; Doing Formation in East Africa: Contexts, Struggles, Possibilities; Mutuae Relationes: On the Relationship between Bishops and Religious; Religious Life in the Vernacular: Challenge, Revelation; and The Prophetic Character of the Consecrated Life. The second part of the conference was a colourful prayer service in commemoration of persons considered “Saints” and “Martyrs” among the consecrated in the Church of Kenya, followed by the concluding Eucharistic celebration which took place at Tangaza University College grounds and was presided over by his Eminence Cardinal Bráz de Aviz assisted by his Eminence Berhaneyesus Cardinal Souraphel, Archbishop of Addis Ababa, Chairman of AMECEA and Chancellor of CUEA, his Excellency Archbishop Charles Daniel Balvo, Apostolic Nuncio to Kenya and South Sudan and his Lordship Bishop Anthony Ireri Mukobo, Chairman Commission for Clergy and Religious of the Kenya Commission of Catholic Bishops together with members of the Tangaza Gov- erning Council and administration as concelebrants.
