“To Revitalize Our Solidarity for Deeper Evangelization in Today’s Complex Reality”: this was the theme of the 17th Plenary Assembly of the Association of Consecrated Women in Eastern and Central Africa (ACWECA) held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, from 26 August to 2 September.
The theme of the Assembly, said Sr. Priscar Matenga, president of the Association, was a call to the members of ACWECA to unite and strengthen their unity. “We are in a global village,” she affirmed, “and things are changing very fast. It is important for us as religious women to review our lives together and see things in the way Christ saw them” so as to enable the Member Conferences to bear more fruit among the people they serve.
