A community of African scholars, church leaders, and pastoral agents working together — like an African village square — to shape theology, justice, and faith for the continent and beyond.
The Pan-African Catholic Theology and Pastoral Network (PACTPAN) is a community of African scholars and pastoral agents in the Catholic tradition and their ecumenical and inter-religious partners.
PACTPAN provides an inclusive space where African Catholic scholars, church leaders, grassroots pastoral agents, social justice leaders, and change agents work together towards a better future for the African continent.
Stay informed on African theology, Church affairs, and social justice issues from our community of scholars and pastoral agents.
Lectures, reflections, congress sessions and conversations from PACTPAN’s YouTube channel.
The largest gathering of African Catholic theologians, Church leaders and pastoral agents. A representative gathering of the whole Church — scholars and everyday Catholics, laity and pastors, Catholics and brothers and sisters from other Church communities.
From spiritual reading to academic publications, PACTPAN provides resources for scholars, pastors, and everyday Catholics alike.
PACTPAN’s work — from research to pastoral formation to social advocacy — depends on the generosity of people who believe in the future of the African Church.
