    Liturgical inculturation is not a novelty in the Church, even in Africa. As the years go by, the call for better inculturation remains valid and salient. The challenge for contemporary African liturgy is to re-present the beauty of the liturgy in ways that remain faithful to the rich liturgical history, but makes meaning today.

    Personhood is universal but the understanding is not the same over the ages. The (mis)understanding at every era defines not just human relationships but relationship with God and the created universe.

In this incomprehension of himself, comes the degradation, devaluation and tensed concept of the person.
