THE CHURCH OF THE YOUTH AND THE YOUTH OF THE CHURCH: A PLEA FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF CHRISTIANITY

Abstract

If we consider the average age ratio of the population, the Church of Africa is also a young Church with many young people. She can even be said to be the Church of the youth. But on the ecclesiological, pastoral, political, economic and social side, there can be some concerns and uncertainties to question and address, for the youth to be the present and future of Christianity in Africa. How can the African youth be the present and the future of the Church? This is the main question treated based on the two African synods held so far.
