Afterword: Reflecting on the Pan-African Catholic Congress”

The Enugu gathering was a continuation of efforts initiated by the first generation of African theologians in the years ante- and post-Vatican II, as well as the two synods on Africa respectively in 2004 and 2009. The Congress was indeed a unique moment after the Dar-es-Salaam meeting (August 5-12, 1976) that led to the creation of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians, the Accra meeting the following year (December 17-23, 1977) that saw the creation of the Ecumenical Association of African Theologians (EAAT).
