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.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/Ecclesia de EucharistiaencyklikaJan Paweł IIKarol WojtyłapapieżeEucharystiachrześcijaństwochrześcijaństwo afrykańskieformacja kapłańskaformacjaekumenizminkulturacjateologiaKościół w AfryceAfrykadokumenty KościołaencyclicJohn Paul IIpopesEucharistChristianityAfrican Christianitypriestly formationformationecumenisminculturationtheologyChurch in AfricaAfricaArticle
