Poverty and dependence constitute the two sides of the same coin.
Both can be seen as a result of the 'terrors of nature' or the
'horrors of history.' They are obstacles to maturity and personal
responsibility; they rob their victims of their sense of inner
worth and dignity. And they instill in them the unhealthy feelings
of inferiority and inner worthlessness that lead to greater poverty
of the mind and powerlessness. This book is a study in Christian
social ethics within the context of communio ecclesiology. It deals
with the entrenched systems of domination that create and maintain
material poverty and systemic dependence on the part of the
Churches in Africa. The image of the umbilical cord depicts this
form of life-or-death dependence on external structures and
resources. Having identified the 'terrors of nature' and the
'horrors of history' responsible for the African predicaments that
result in acute poverty and shameless dependence, this study sees
the principles of the social order in their diverse understandings
as the criteria capable of effectively blazing the trail of
Self-reliance for the Churches in Africa.
