In an interview with CISA on the sidelines of the two-day preparatory meeting of the African Delegates to the Synod on Synodality in Rome in October held at the Mariapolis Retreat Center in Nairobi, Kenya, Bishop Coffi Roger, the only prelate chosen to represent the West African country at the Synod says that the Catholic Church in Benin has taken a keen interest in the synodal process.
Fr Rafael Simbine Junior, the Secretary General of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM), flanked by Fr Kaufa and Ms Sheila Pires, said the seminar was to help the delegates familiarize themselves with the Instrumentum Laboris- the working document as well as the methodology of Spiritual Conversation which shall be used at the Synodal Assembly in Rome.
