Overview

The Catholic Church in Contemporary Southern Africa has been written by a team of Catholic scholars from different cultural and professional backgrounds at the invitation of the Southern Africa Catholic Bishops' Conference in the context of the preparation for the new millennium. The book endeavours to present the history of the Catholic church in contemporary Southern Africa. The year 1951 - when the hierarchy in Southern Africa was established - is the starting point, but earlier events are referred to whenever necessary. Some chapters deal with events as recent as 1999. The study includes the territories currently represented in Southern Africa, Botswana and Swaziland. It deals with the entire Catholic community and encompasses all aspects of the church life, including politics, sexual ethics and spirituality.
