“I must emphasize that the small Christian community is a backbone of the church in Africa. In Europe because of individualism like the Holy Father said, it could be difficult but here we have the structures and it is something that is woven into our culture. And so, the small Christian communities, the mission stations, the parishes, the deaneries, and the dioceses are all structures through which consultations can be done. And I think that when you get the small Christian communities walking the church is vibrant because everybody knows everybody in the neighbourhood,” says Most Rev Andrew Nkea of the Catholic Diocese of Bamenda, Cameroon.
