Kenya: A Meeting of the Bishop Friends of the Focolare

May 26, 2011

Mariapolis Piero (Nairobi - Kenya): “Rediscovering God's Plan in the Present Time”

From May 23 to 28 a large meeting of Bishop Friends of the Focolare took place at Mariapolis Piero, the “little city” of witness of the Focolare Movement in Kenya.  The 21 Bishops came from South Africa, Angola, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi and Kenya.  Their desire was to “Rediscover God’s Plan in the Present Time”. The meeting was rich in its theological reflections and its updatings on the present situation of the Church.  There was a presentation of concrete experiences of Gospel life.  Interspersed throughout the event were times set aside for meditation, celebrations, and prayers in common. For a number of years, in the various geographical areas of the African continent, meetings of Bishops have taken place.  These meetings have taken their inspiration from the “spirituality of communion” proposed by recent Popes and highlighted by the experience of the Focolare Movement.  As a followup to the meeting in Kenya, two additional meetings will take place, one at Moramanga (Madagascar) and the other at Bamenda/Fontem (Cameroon).
