A workshop aimed at establishing a network of Small Christian Communities (SCCs) in Africa is scheduled to take place in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital, Kinshasa, next month.

The weeklong conference, which will run from 20 to 27 October 2016, is being organised by Missio-Aachen and the Archdiocese of Kinshasa, under the patronage of Laurent Cardinal Monsengwo, the Archbishop of Kinshasa.

According to a message sent to the Nairobi-based CANAA about the workshop, the network of SCCs to be established will provide a forum for sharing ideas, experiences, knowledge, and a wealth of relevant competencies around the reality of SCCs across Africa and in the diaspora.

Creating and hosting a website to facilitate the sharing of information is one of the immediate objectives of the planned workshop, a forum that makes possible the networking of the different SCCs stakeholders.

It is hoped that when the SCC network is created, members will gain access to other networks within the Church thus making known realities of local Churches and communicating new ways of being Church.

The October Kinshasa Conference is a follow-up of two previous meetings, held in 2014 in Ghana’s capital, Accra, and another in 2015 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

The Kinshasa workshop will focus on four thematic areas:

The Small Christian Community as place of individual and collective witness (martyria).

The Small Christian Community as place of celebration of the actions of God in history (leiturgia).

The Small Christian Community as place or a tool to support the challenges of society (diakonia).

The Small Christian Community as place of living service and the various ministries (oidokome).

(Father Don Bosco Onyalla, CANAA in Nairobi)
