„Kościół żyje dzięki Eucharystii” spojrzenie na sytuację Kościoła w Afryce

Abstract

The situation of the Church in Africa seems to be a testing ground for the statements made in the encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia. If the Church draws her life from the Eucharist and in many Christian communities Eucharist can be celebrated only once every few months due to unfavourable external circumstances, in addition quite a number of Church members cannot receive holy communion because their marital situation does not conform to the regulations of the canon law, and still African Church has been perceived as alive and dynamically expanding, then the power of Eucharist is really enormous. The author briefly discusses three areas of interest concerning the role of the Eucharist in the African Churches: 1) formation of local priests; 2) presentation of the Eucharist as a sacrament of unity in the situation of the visible disunity of the Church; 3) inculturation of the Eucharist.
