APPELES PAR DIEU, EN AFRIQUE

Abstract

The increasing number of vocations in priesthood and religious life in Africa has raised suspicions. While some (from faith viewpoint) see it as "a sign of the times": a work of the Holy Spirit in an ungodly" world, others (based on sociological analysis) see it as an escapism from the socio-economic crisis: away out from the uncertainties of the future in the continent.
Beyond these approaches Goussikindey offers a different explanation. He suggests that being called by God in Africa is to experience the Spirit of God at work for the re- creation in the constitutions and choices of groups of men and women.
