dition a deux
nouveaux chapitres, à savoir les
compétences de facilitation et de
leadership. Il a expliqué que
l’AMECEA avait un grand rêve de
faire des petites communautés
chrétiennes une priorité pastorale
clé en Afrique de l'est.
Cependant, il est devenu évident
qu'ils avaient besoin d'une littérature;
matériel imprimé et matériel
en ligne pour faire de ce rêve une
réalité en particulier sur la base,
sur le terrain. C'est sur cette constatation
qu'en 2017, six personnes
composées de deux laïcs (homme
et femme), d'une religieuse et de
quatre prêtres ont produit le
manuel de formation.

novos capítulos, ou seja, facilitação
e habilidades de liderança.
Ele explicou que o AMECEA teve
um grande sonho de fazer pequenas
comunidades cristãs uma prioridade-chave
pastoral na África
Oriental.
No entanto, ficou claro que eles
precisavam de literatura; Material
impresso e material em linha para
fazer a este sonho uma realidade
especial na base, na terra. Foi nesta
observação que em 2017, seis
pessoas constituídas por dois
leigos (masculino e feminino),
uma freira e quatro sacerdotes
produziram o manual de treinamento.
“During our trainings in different
countries of the AMECEA zone,
participants were asking questions
about the challenges they were having
in the SCCs; mainly on animation
and facilitation of the mee-tings
and also challenges on leadership.
We conducted a small research to
gather information on what exactly
the challenges were; and based on
our findings we put together the two
modules,” he explained adding that
their work as animators of SCC is
driven by the experience of the
various SCC groups and animators
in various countries.
He intimated that the book which is
based on concrete live experiences
within the AMECEA Region is
dynamic, alive and growing therefore
they are yet to see what would
be the next topics to include in
future based on the experiences
during the subsequent trainings.
The launch was witnessed by Rt. Rev.
Method Kilaini, Auxiliary Bishop of
Bukoba and AMECEA Secretary
General Rev. Fr. Anthony Makunde
as well as SECAM 1st Vice Secretary
General Rev. Fr. Edward Mombili.
