Spiritans challenged to move beyond revised manual

In brief

Spiritan priests from Africa and the islands are meeting in Nairobi for a workshop to develop practical ways to promote interfaith dialogue. The workshop, held from September 6 to 10, focuses on building the capacity of current and future dialogue coordinators within Spiritan provinces and groups across the region.

During his opening address on September 7, Fr. Henry Omwoyo, the Vice-Provincial Superior of the Spiritans in Kenya and South Sudan, urged participants to move beyond simply updating a manual. He encouraged the members of the Spiritan Conference of Circumscriptions of Africa and the Islands to leave the gathering with renewed conviction, practical ideas, and a stronger network of spiritual commitment to dialogue.

Fr. Omwoyo also called for honest sharing regarding both successes and challenges to help different regions learn from one another. The event is hosted by the Spiritan Province of Kenya at the Rosa Mystica Guest House.
