Perhaps Psalm 100 offers a clue. From the psalmist’s praise, theology appears to have a dyadic purpose: reverence and knowledge of God by all creatures. The psalmist suggests ecological, anthropological, zoological, liturgical, and socio-cultural studies as valid loci for theological discourse. Hence, doing theology today implies an interdisciplinary approach. Theology today must be interactive and dialogical. Description: This Speech was written and delivered by Dr. Stephen Oluwakayode Eyeowa, SJ on the 26th April 2024 during the closing ceremony of Huc@40 at Hekima University College, Nairobi.

Authors: A.M.D.G Abstract: AFTER an absence of four months, Fr. Nicot returned to Bulawayo in the middle of Febr., 1902. He had travelled by the same boat which brought Mr. Cecil Rhodes and Dr. Jameson from England to the Cape. Of the latter Fr. Nicot had seen a good deal, and the Doctor had inquired with interest after every member of the Society he had known in Rhodesia 'during the term of his administration. Of Mr. Rhodes, whom ill-health confined to his cabin during most of the voyage, he had seen little; enough however to notice how broken down and prematurely aged the Empire-builder looked. Alarming reports of Mr. Rhodes' state of health soon found their way into the public press. The end came at the end of March, and on the 9th of April the Founder of Rhodesia was buried in the granite grave he had chosen for himself on a lofty eminence in the Matoppo Hills. Of Mr. Rhodes' relations with the Society and of his opinion of its members and of the work done by them in the country called after him, a short but interesting account will be found in the Z.M.R. II. 95 seq. 'The closing day of the month of May brought at last the long desired peace of Vereeniging and the conclusion of the Boer War. It was about the middle of the same month that an apostolic expedition, planned and prepared long before, started from Bulawayo in search of a suitable site for mission-work beyond the Zambesi. The veteran Fr. Prestage was in command and was accompanied by Fr. Mor'eau. The party returned to their base six months later, after a trek of some 1,200 miles by ox-waggon and on foot. The result wa'3 the establishment (in June, 1905 ) of the now flourishing mission of Chikuni.

Rev. Dr. Ricards, late Bishop of Retimo, who since 1845 had been a missionary in Cape Colony, was ·chosen in 187 I to succeed Dr. Moran as Vicar Apostolic of the Eastern District of the Colony. With characteristic energy he used his utmost endeavours to further the interests of religion in his Vicariate, but the task seemed' an all but impossible one. He had only, five Priests at his disposal for the whole extent of his diocese, and seeing little or no chance of increasing their number in Africa he came to Europe in search of a Slupply of apostolic labourers. In this he was fairly successful, for he obtained from Rev. Fr. Beckx, then General of the Society of Jesus, 'eight Jesuits-five Priests and three lay-Brothers- six of whom belonged to the English Province, viz., Frs. Walter Bridge, John Lea, Amgustus Law, and Bros. Penny, Sanguinetti, Bash.Two secular Priests and some Nuns were also amongst those who, in Sept., 1875, left England with Dr. Ricards, and disembarked a month later at Port Elizabeth in Algoa Bay.-With these reinforcements the Bishop was able to start a work of vital importance for religion in South Africa, viz., St. Aidan's College 1 at Grahamstown Description: Extract from Letters and Notices, No. CXCIII.—OCTOBER, 1913.

Après ses études primaires et secondaires, il entre au grand séminaire d’Ibadan au Nigéria dans le cadre du diocèse camerounais de Buea en 1971. Mais en lui germait le désir de la vie religieuse jésuite. Dieu l’a conduit petit à petit à faire des rencontres qui vont préciser son désir. C’est ainsi qu’il entre au noviciat de la Compagnie de Jésus le 17 octobre 1974 à Nkoabang, une banlieue de Yaoundé. Après deux ans d’expérience humaine et spirituelle, il prononce ses vœux perpétuels et simples le 17 octobre 1976 ; puis il est envoyé à Kinshasa en République Démocratique du Congo pour les études de Philosophie de 1976 à 1978.
