Nairobi, Kenya. On the Solemnity of Christ the King, the meeting focused on the second process of transformation: Community of Witnesses and Messengers. The participants focused their attention on the exercise of authority and government in our Congregation. Father General proposed to them to look at the style of Jesus of Nazareth and take another look at the style of Father Claret.

After the sharing, lunch was served and they went out for an excursion. In the evening, after dinner, the General Government dialogued with the Coordinators of the Missions of Angola, Sao Tome-Principe, and Ivory Cost and Burkina Faso.
The encounter came to a wonderful close as the participants left on November 28.
Pray that this great communion bears the expected fruits in the soil of Africa.
