    Church and Family in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities
    Ojore, Aloys Otieno (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2023)
    The author dwells on marriage and family life in the light of Ecclesia in Africa. He praises Ecclesia in Africa as a milestone in Africa’s ecclesial life. He gives an overview of the various emerging models of family across the world confronting the traditional Catholic understanding of marriage and the family. He insists that the African family model of polygamy should be reviewed and re-considered in light of the emerging Western models of gay and lesbian families.

    The Communion of Saints in Light of Ancestor Veneration in Africa and Its Sequels on the Christian Theology of Hope
    Omollo, Fredrick (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2023)
    The article argues that the praxis of ancestor veneration in Africa is a system akin to the Christian belief in the “communion of saints.” It is a system for realizing the fullest potential of human (religious) experience. Humanness is a skill developed to become more and more human with God’s help. In this regard, well-being, or in the Christian sense, “salvation” is the fruitful accomplishment of a person’s proficiencies by sustaining beneficial relationships between earthly descendants and their ancestors. This worldview is scrutinized through the lens of the Christian doctrine of the communion of saints; thus, it is a present reality and pathway to attaining fullness of well-being. The author recognizes the tripartite Church and identifies the “exalted spiritual life,” “resurrected life,” and divine life as systematically possessed through living the doctrine of the communion of saints. Christian hope is thoroughly Christological, transcending merely natural ties.
