Historia ewangelizacji kontynentu afrykańskiego w zarysie
Majcher, Zbigniew (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2001)
Jesus was in Africa even before the rise of Christianity. After all, the Holy Family had to flee to Egypt and, according to tradition, stayed there for six months. The Ethiopian who is mentioned in Acts 8, and who was baptized by Philip, was an African. The beginnings of the Church in Egypt are traced back to St. Mark, of whom the Coptic patriarch called himself the successor. To bring Christianity to Africa, three attempts have been necessary; so this article is divided into three parts. The first part covers the beginnings of Christianity to about the midseventh century when the faith spread all over the Mediterranean world under the Roman Empire. The second part takes up the attempt to spread the Gospel between 1219 and 1800, coinciding with the Portugese explorations and discoveries. The third part is the modem period, starting at the beginning of nineteenth century. This part, far more widespread, left practically no part of Africa untouched. Its history is more complex because of activities of the different denominations in the Christian Church which caused confusion and division.
Jezus Chrystus w dzisiejszej ewangelizacji Afryki
Majcher, Zbigniew (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2000)
Christians of all denominations celebrated the final ten years of the twentieth century as a Decade of Evangelization. Contemporary African Evangelization is not only the verbal message of the Gospel, but also the propagation of Gospel values in life itself and the liturgical celebration of the Good News. In African parlance „evangelization” has a wider range of meaning. It envisages the Good News as being a social Gospel as well as a spiritual Gospel. It is a search for grace, salvation and love in the midst of human life in this word, and it includes a concern for unity among Christians of different Churches. Contemporary African Evangelization necessarily includes the conversion of human culture and the permeation of culture by Gospel values. Inculturation means the ongoing dialogue between Gospel and culture. The African Synod, opened in Rome on 10 April and ended on 8 May 1994, was an important event for the Church in the continent. It was dealing with some important themes of African Christian life: evangelization, inculturation, diologue, justice and peace, the modem communication media. On 14 September 1994 John Paul II handed over the post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation „Ecclesia in Africa”.
