Ecological Crisis in Africa

This Journal is a deliberate effort to appeal for a Christian response to the environmental crisis arising in the African continent today. The Journal aims to contribute to ecological conversion by providing a theological reflection and practical answers to the Catholic Social Teaching on the “Care for Our Common Home.” The articles of this Journal are the results of the Theological Symposium held in Don Bosco Utume in the Second Semester of the Academic year 2022 – 2023. From a Christian view, it is a call for the Church and the world to see the urgency of the environmental crisis and the need for integral human development. Notably, almost eight years after issuing Laudato Si, this journal was published when Pope Francis confirmed his desire to write part two of the Laudato Si. A renewed consciousness of the current environmental questions that threaten human existence is needed to become good stewards of the common home of our time.
