Working towards a better future for the African continent

Who we are

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, like an African village square, where African Catholic scholars, church leaders, grassroots pastoral agents, social justice leaders, and change agents work together.
