The Catholic University of Eastern Africa’s (CUEA) Faculty of Theology held its 16th Interdisciplinary Theological Session from 26th to 28th February 2014, under the theme “Quest for an African Political Theology” on which Rt. Rev. Maurice Muhatia Makumba, Bishop Nakuru Diocese in Kenya, was the guest of honour.
According to Rt. Rev. Muhatia, “An unexamined life is not worth living. Therefore, the quest for an African political theology is a quest to examine Africa’s past and present and assesses how it affects the lives of the African people today. It calls for a rethinking of the African situation.”
Rt. Rev. Muhatia further stated that an African political theology should be one that brings an African perspective to its vocation and a paradigm shift in the way political problems in Africa are being handled.
Also in attendance was the DVC Academics, Prof. Justus Mbae; DVC Administration, Rev. Prof. Juvenalis Baitu; Dean Faculty of Theology, Rev. Prof. Constance Bansikiza; Chairperson Interdisciplinary Committee, Rev. Dr. John Lukwata; CUEA staff and students.
