THE CATHOLIC VOYAGE: African Journal of Consecrated Life Vol.18, No.1, 2021

The general theme of the present volume of our journal is “Governance in Institutes of Consecrated Life in the Catholic Church in Africa”. The theme was chosen before the Covid19 crisis began in most African countries, including Nigeria. The idea was to explore, in particular, the significance, challenges, opportunities, and prospects of leadership. The emergence of the covid-19 crisis, though a coincidence, turned out to present new challenges and opportunities, and perhaps highlighted other latent challenges, in the governance. The crisis has led consecrated persons to seek or to explore new approaches to living a life in common, open new possibilities of mission, to consider new ways of living out their apostolate. At least, it called everyone to reflect anew on the ways to lead and live consecrated life in times of worldwide emergency crisis and attendant restrictions such as those caused by this pandemic. Through articles from various perspectives, this edition proposes studies and perspectives on some vital issues and the challenges, opportunities, and prospects of governance in Institutes of Consecrated Life in the Catholic Church in Africa.
