While the Catholic Church is languishing in much of the West, by
contrast it flourishes across Africa. Despite this, most African
Church leaders remain unknown in the West, even among better
informed Catholics. Sally Ninham's timely book remedies this via
her in-depth interviews with a cross section of Africa's senior
Catholic churchmen. Their stories provide first-hand insights into
the religious, political, social and economic situations in their
countries. Some of these leaders have played key roles in the midst
of political turmoil, civil wars, rampant corruption and extreme
poverty. Dr Ninham, who travelled around Africa for the interviews,
believes some "have perhaps already earned the right to stand
alongside such Western heroes as Martin Luther King, Franklin
Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. They are men who have committed
their lives to justice, to freedom and to humanity without pausing
for breath."
