| dc.description.abstract | T 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. We hope to give a complete summary of the proceedings of the conference in the next issue of the Tangaza Update. | en_US |
